Note to The Voice of the Devil
1790s, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790–1793)

“Needs must when the Devil drives.”
Source: Gargantua and Pantagruel (1532–1564), Fourth Book (1548, 1552), Chapter 57.

“No devil, no hell. No hell, no atonement. No atonement, no preaching, no gospel.”
Orthodoxy (1884)
Context: The church must not abandon its belief in devils. Orthodoxy cannot afford to put out the fires of hell. Throw away a belief in the devil, and most of the miracles of the New Testament become impossible, even if we admit the supernatural. If there is no devil, who was the original tempter in the garden of Eden? If there is no hell, from what are we saved; to what purpose is the atonement? Upon the obverse of the Christian shield is God, upon the reverse, the devil. No devil, no hell. No hell, no atonement. No atonement, no preaching, no gospel.

“Even the devil may cry when he looks around hell and realizes that he's there alone.”
Variant: Even the devil may cry when he looks around hell and realizes that he’s there alone.
