THE
HISTORY
OF THE
DEVIL,
ANCIENT AND MODERN,
IN TWO PARTS.
Part I. Containing a State of the Devil's Circumances, from his expulſion out of Heaven to the Creation, with Remarks concerning his Fall.
Part II. Containing his more private Conduct down to the preſent Times; his Government, his Appearances, his manner of Working, and the Tools he works with.—Alſo an Account of St Peter's Key, and Dr Fauſtus.
Bad as he is, the Devil may be abus'd,
Be falsely charg'd and causelessly accus'd,
When Men, unwilling to be blam'd alone,
Shift off those Crimes on him who are their
own.
The ſubject of this work is ſingular, and it has been handled after a ſingular manner; the wiſe part of the world hath been pleaſed with it, the merry part hath been diverted with it, and the ignorant part has been offended at it; who can wonder then, that when the Devil is not pleaſed, his friends ſhould not be angry?
