CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
THE METHODS USED BY THE DEVIL TO TEMPT AND SEDUCE
THOSE
WHO DESIRE TO ACQUIRE VIRTUE, AND THOSE WHO ARE STILL THE PRISONERS OF VICE
My BELOVED SON, never forget that the devil continually seeks your destruction. But his attacks against each soul are varied.
Before introducing you to some of his stratagems, we shall consider different types of persons in different situations.
There are some who are so overwhelmed by their sins that they never even consider the possibility of breaking their chains. Others want to free themselves from this slavery, but they do nothing to accomplish this. Some think they are secure, and for that very reason are very far from being so. Others, after attaining a high degree of virtue, fall all the more heavily. In the following chapters these various types will be treated.
