Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with their whole heart, who also do no wrong, but walk in His ways! - Psalm 119:1-3 (ESV)
The Malleus Maleficarum of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger states: "Now the motive of the will is something perceived through the sense or the intellect, both of which are subject to the power of the devil.
This evil, which is of the devil, creeps in by all the sensual approaches;
he places himself in figures, he adapts himself to colours, he attaches himself to sounds,
he lurks in angry and wrongful conversation, he abides in smells,
he impregnates with flavours and fills with certain exhalations
all the channels of the understanding.
Therefore it is seen that it is in the devil’s power to influence the will,
which is directly the cause of sin."
