NOTE 1, Page 4.

There is no more ground for the belief of the actual personal existence of an Evil Being, than for that of the real existence of the hieroglyphical Serpent in Genesis; which Moses never represents as a superior being in that form, but simply as a serpent. The Jews borrowed their personified principle of evil from the Chaldæans they applied it to allegorize both moral and physical evil. Diseases were supposed to be inflicted by demons, improperly rendered devils. These were human ghosts, which had been the souls of wicked men; and not fallen angels, as in the modern scheme. The Angels who sinned," 2 Pet. ii. 4, considering the various import of the word Angels in Scripture, do not of necessity imply metaphysical beings. They have been thought to mean the messengers or spies sent by Moses into Canaan, who brought back a lying report, and were smitten by the plague: Numbers xiv. 37. But they are more probably the same description of persons as those called "the Sons of God," Gen. vi. 4; the sons of Seth, or true worshippers, whom Moses speaks of as intermarrying with "the daughters of men," or of idolaters; and whom Josephus (Antiquities of the Jews, b.i. ch. 3,) calls "Angels." From the connexion of the passage in Peter, it is clear that the "casting into hell," or, more properly, "the abyss," refers to the flood of Noah, and the bituminous lake of Sodom. The same connexion is found in Jude 6, respecting "the Angels who kept not their first estate :" they are therefore identified with the apostates from God, who perished under those judgments.
