See what sin is, and then tell me if there be not enough in it to draw forth tears. I know not what name to give it bad enough. One calls it the devil's excrement.
But let no man so understand these things, as if the devil were able to do all things, and that whatever he wills, he can also do later. For his power is definite, or limited and restrained, so that he cannot do as much as he would: otherwise all things would have been overthrown and perished long ago.The Decades
Murder is a diabolical sin. It makes a man the devil's first born, for he was a murderer from the beginning. John viii 44. By saying to our first parents, 'Ye shall not die,' he brought death into the world.The Ten Commandments, 142
