disobedience found misery."[386:2]

They were driven out of heaven, after having a combat with the obedient
angels, and cast into hell. The writer of second _Peter_ alludes to it
in saying that God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down
into hell.[386:3]

The writer of _Jude_ also alludes to it in saying:

"The angels which kept not their first estate, but left their
own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under
darkness unto the judgment of the great day."[386:4]

According to the _Talmudists_, Satan, whose proper name is Sammael, was
one of the Seraphim of heaven, with six wings.

"He was not driven out of heaven until after he had led Adam
and Eve into sin; then Sammael and his host were precipitated
out of the place of bliss, with God's curse to weigh them
down. In the struggle between Michael and Sammael, the falling
Seraph caught the wings of Michael, and tried to drag him down
with him, but God saved him, when Michael derived his
name,--the Rescued."[386:5]

Sammael was formerly chief among the angels of God, and now he is
prince among devils. His name is derived from Simme, which means, to
blind and deceive. He stands on the left side of men. He goes by various
names; such as "The Old Serpent," "The Unclean Spirit," "Satan,"
"Leviathan," and sometimes also "Asael."[387:1]

According to _Hindoo_ mythology, there is a legion of evil spirits
called _Rakshasas_, who are governed by a prince named _Ravana_. These
Rakshasas are continually aiming to do injury to mankind, and are the
same who fought desperate battles with _Indra_, and his Spirits of
Light. They would have taken his paradise by storm, and subverted the
whole order of the universe, if Brahma had not sent _Vishnou_ to
circumvent their plans.

In the _Aitareya-brahmana_ (Hindoo) written, according to Prof. Monier
Williams, seven or eight centuries B. C., we have the following legend:

"The gods and demons were engaged in warfare.
The evil demons, like to mighty kings,
Made these worlds castles; then they formed the earth
Into an iron citadel, the air
Into a silver fortress, and the sky
Into a fort of gold. Whereat the gods
Said to each other, 'Frame me other worlds
In opposition to these fortresses.'
Then they constructed sacrificial places,
Where they performed a triple burnt oblation.
By the first sacrifice
