foliate (be human (lend, with whose
past history, spirits, though InvIslbTo,

that they itlso frequently person

commanding their deceived ones to
pray, do penance, etc. This, however,
Is merely to lead them on nnd to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni

down the natural barrier, the human
will, thoy possess their victim, and rule
him more or less to his ruin frequent
