As to his origin, he was at first one of the
servants of King Shaddai, made, and taken, and put by him into most
high and mighty place; yea, was put into such principalities as
belonged to the best of his territories and dominions. This
Diabolus was made 'son of the morning,' and a brave place he had of
it: it brought him much glory, and gave him much brightness, an
income that might have contented his Luciferian heart, had it not
been insatiable, and enlarged as hell itself.
Well, he seeing himself thus exalted to greatness and honour, and
raging in his mind for higher state and degree, what doth he but
begins to think with himself how he might be set up as lord over
all, and have the sole power under Shaddai. (Now that did the King
reserve for his Son, yea, and had already bestowed it upon him.)
Wherefore he first consults with himself what had best to be done;
and then breaks his mind to some other of his companions, to the
which they also agreed. So, in fine, they came to this issue that
they should make an attempt upon the King's Son to destroy him,
that the inheritance might be theirs.
