"There were many of them [the Devils Angels] that were concerned in that first Transgression and Rebellion against the Lord. It is said, Ephes. 2. 3. That the Devil is _the Prince of the Power of the Air_. So that there is a _Power_, an _Host_, a vast _Army_ of those Evil Spirits, that did joyn with the Devil, in setting themselves against the Great God. How many, is not for us to say, the Written Word of God not speaking anything as to the Quantity of their Number; only it is manifest from the Scripture, that there are far more Angels that have sinned, far more Devils than there are Men in all the World. There is not a Man in the whole World but there are Devils to tempt him continually. And if so, they must needs be more in Number than Men are. We read in the Gospel of no less than a Legion of Devils in one poor miserable Man. Luk. 8, 30. You read there of a possesed Man, and Christ demanded of the Evil Spirit what his Name was: The chief Devil among them made Answer, _It is Legion for we are many_. A Legion is six Thousand six Hundred and Sixty-six. Now then, if the Devil has such vast Numbers of Infernal Spirits under him; if he has such Troops of them, as that he can spare no less than a Legion to afflict, and as it were to keep Garrison in one poor miserable Man: what prodigious Numbers of Evil Angels must there needs be."--_Angelographia_, 111-112. See also _The Devil Discovered_, Vol. I, 217-247. [62] Dr. Mather's Animadversions on these "_Ten Articles_" should be read in Connection: "When he sent about unto all the Ministers a _Libellous Letter_ against myself, falsely charging me with writing in a Manuscript of mine _Ten Articles_ (which are of his own drawing up) whereof the chief are of his _own pure Invention_, there was not one of all those reverend Persons, who thought him worthy of an Answer. And now his Book is come abroad, I cannot hear (and many observe the Like) of so much as one vertuous and sensible Man, but let their Opinions about the _Salem_ Troubles be what they will, they detest it, as, a _Vile Book_; as being an intire Libel upon the whole _Government_ and _Ministry_ in the Land; yea, they think it beneath a Minister of the Gospel to bestow the Pains of an _Answer_ upon it. The Book serves but as an Engine to discover (by their approbation of it) a few Persons in the Land that will distinguish themselves by an exalted _Malignity_." _Some Few Remarks on a Scandalous Book_, 34-5.
