"As Satan saw that he had failed to crush out the truth by persecution, he again resorted to the same plan of compromise which had led to the great apostasy and the formation of the church of Rome. He induced Christians to ally themselves, not now with pagans, but with those who, by their worship of the god of this world, as truly proved themselves idolaters. Satan could no longer keep the Bible from the people; it had been placed within the reach of all.
Kadiri ambavyo Shetani aliona kwamba alikuwa ameshindwa kuung oa ukweli kwa mateso, basi tena alirudi kwenye mpango ule ule wa mapatano ambao ulikuwa umeleteleza uasi mkuu na kuundwa kwa Kanisa la Kirumi. Aliwahadaa Wakristo kupatana wenyewe, siyo sasa na wapagani, lakini pamoja na wale ambao, kwa ibada yao ya mungu wa ulimwengu huu, kwa kweli walithibitisha wenyewe kama waabudu sanamu. Shetani asingeendelea tena kuiondoa Biblia kutoka kwa watu, ilikuwa imewekwa mahali ambapo watu wote wangeifikia.
