 HISTORY

Ancient and Modern.

A STATE OF THE DEVIL'S CIRCUMSTANCES, FROM HIS EXPULSION OUT OF HEAVEN, TO THE CREATION; WITH REMARKS ON THE SEVERAL MISTAKES CONCERNING HIS FALL.

Bad as he is, the Devil may be abus'd,

Be falsely charg'd, and causelessly accus'd

When men, unwillingly to be blam'd alone,

Shift off those crimes on him which are their own.
