| | (Milton, f. 9, ll. 6–14.)
AND the Mills of Satan were separated into a moony Space | |
| Among the rocks of Albion’s Temples, and Satan’s Druid Sons | |
| Offer the Human Victims throughout all the Earth; and Albion’s | |
| Dread Tomb, immortal on his Rock, overshadow’d the whole Earth, | |
| Where Satan, making to himself Laws from his own identity, | 5 |
| Compell’d others to serve him in moral gratitude and submission, | |
| Being call’d God, setting himself above all that is callèd God. | |
| And all the Spectres of the Dead, calling themselves Sons of God, | |
| In his Synagogues worship Satan under the Unutterable Name. | | | | |
