Walter Scott 
Existence of Evil Spirits Proved [PDF ebook] 
And Their Agency, Particularly in Relation to the Human Race, Explain and Illustrated

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It really requires no small degree of patience to be able to read with calmness such false charges and flimsy reason ing as the above, especially when, though advanced for the ten thousandth time, they are paraded as if they were quite original. The writer, however, either must know, or ought to know, that those whose sentiments he caricatures, not only do not ascribe either omniscience, or omnipotence, or or omnipresence, to the devil, but that they have shown that their sentiments do not involve this ascription; nay, that according to their representations, the powers and capacities of Satan must necessarily be limited, and he may be resisted and overcome.
