Excerpt from Letters to the Rev. William E. Channing, D. D: On the Existence and Agency of Fallen Spirits I assume at the outset of this discussion what you, doubtless, will readily grant, that you give, and acknowl edge yourself bound to give, implicit credence to what the Bible plainly declares, - declares not in a solitary, isolated, doubtful text, or in a few scattered, uncertain passages, but plainly, repeatedly, explicitly. I shall omit, on the immediate subject of these Letters, all arguments from the Old Testament, not because that was a revelav tion adapted to the infancy of our race, for all scripture, an inspired apostle, referring to these very books, says, was given by inspiration of God, who surely would not deceive in the infancy any more than in the manhood of our race, (if such terms have any meaning but because the Saviour and his apostles have more fully revealed the fact of diabolical existence and agency, and thus authenticated previous revelations, rendering as surance doubly sure.
