Thy heart is blind and deceitful; do not trust it. Satan knows it not, and is a liar, especially he pretends to teach thee God’s secret purposes. The devil was never on God’s counsel; why should you regard his whispers? He is a reprobate, condemned spirit, raging against God, and strives to infuse his own spirit and temper into sinners.

Robert Traill, Sixteen Sermons on the Lord’s Prayer, in John xvii. 24 (1705) in The Works of Robert Traill, A.M. Minister of the Gospel in London (4 vols, Edinburgh: J. Ogle, 1810), 2: 34.
