AE 866 - deceit

AE 866 [9]
It is to be known that all evil persons have a disposition and desire,
consequently a will,
to destroy the truths of heaven and the church by falsities,
for the reason that they are conjoined to hell,
and infernal spirits from the delight of their love
burn with a lust of destroying all things of heaven and the church,
and this by crafty devices,
which they artfully contrive and wonderfully execute,
which, if described from experience, would fill many pages.
This makes clear that "deceit" signifies in general
all evil of intention to destroy truths by falsities.
