The History of the Devil, As Well Ancient as Modern: In Two Parts
Defoe, Daniel
Devil -- Early works to 1800
[3] _Mr._ Pool's _words are these_: Some refer the words, _This day have
I begotten thee_, to the incarnation of the Son of GOD, others to the
Resurrection: our Translators lay the stress on the preposition of which
the verb is compounded, and by adding _again_, (viz.) _rais'd up Jesus
again_, Acts xiii. 33. intend it to be understood of the Resurrection;
and there is ground for it, in the context, for the Resurrection of
Christ, is that which St. _Paul_ had propounded in v. 30. of the same
Chapter, as his theme or argument to preach upon.
Not that Christ at his Resurrection began to be the Son of God, but that
he was manifested then to be so.
[4] Satan.
[5] The meaning of the word Devil is Destroyer. See _Pool_ upon _Acts_
xiii. 10.
[6] _As great as the Devil and Doctor_ Faustus. Vulg. Dr. _Foster_.
Transcriber's Notes:
Passages in italics are indicated by _underscore_.
Additional spacing after some of the quotes is intentional to indicate
both the end of a quotation and the beginning of a new paragraph as
presented in the original text.
Long "s" has been modernized.
The original text includes Greek characters. For this text version these
letters have been replaced with transliterations.
The text includes two instances of unmatched round brackets; as these
require interpretation to close, they have been left unmatched.
