BUT we ought to know this, that not all devils can implant all the
passions in men, but that certain spirits brood over each sin, and that
some gloat over uncleanness and filthy lusts, others over blasphemy, others
are more particularly devoted to anger and wrath, others thrive on
gloominess, others are pacified with vainglory and pride; and each one
implants in the hearts of men that sin, in which he himself revels, and
they cannot implant their special vices all at one time, but in turn,
according as the opportunity of time or place, or a man, who is open to
their suggestions, excites them.
