Boží Syn mu představil velikost, dobrotu a spravedlnost Stvořitele, svatost a neměnnost jeho zákona. Bůh stanovil řád v nebi, a Lucifer by zneuctil svého Stvořitele a zničil sám sebe, kdyby se tímto řádem neřídil.
The Son of God presented before him the greatness, the goodness, and the justice of the Creator, and the sacred, unchanging nature of His law. God Himself had established the order of heaven; and in departing from it, Lucifer would dishonor his Maker, and bring ruin upon himself.
