Upon this the Devil drew near the Soul, and brought it on from one vice
to another, for he had taken it captive in his Essence, and set joy and
pleasure before it, therein, saying thus to it: Behold now thou art

powerful still. Display thy knowledge, wit and subtlety, that every one
may fear thee, and stand in awe of thee, and that thou mayst be
respected, and get a great name in the World.
