CHAPTER XII--THAT VARLET ILL-PAUSE, THE DEVIL'S ORATOR
7/23

Then you bring up Quintilian's orator if you have him at your call.

As Diabolus has done from time to time with his great and almost always successful orator Ill-pause.

On difficult occasions he came himself on the scene and Ill-pause with him.
On such difficult occasions as in the Garden of Eden; as when Noah was told to make haste and build an ark; as also when Abraham was told to make haste and leave his father's house; when Jacob was bid remember and pay the vow he had made when his trouble was upon him; as also when Joseph had to flee for what was better than life; and on that memorable occasion when David sent Joab out against Rabbah, but David tarried still at Jerusalem.

On all these essential, first-class, and difficult occasions the old serpent brought up Ill-pause.

As also when our Lord was in the wilderness; when He set His face to go up to Jerusalem; when He saw certain Greeks among them that came up to the passover; as also again and again in the Garden.
