Lucifer to Mr. Berbiguier.
Empire of the Devils, the 30th day of the moon. Mr. Berbiguier,
It is by the order of Beelzebub and his council of ministers that I write you now.
We have already written you a letter, to which you have not replied. You want to attach it to your memorandum; but tremble, if you have the misfortune to bring it to light, there are one hundred and ten of us who have sworn to your destruction. You have put fifteen of the conspirators to death with your sting [1]; I beg you and your colleagues to join or side, or else it is all over for them and for you. You need only decide what position you will hold in our society, as well as those who work with you to persecute us and foil our plans; in this way, you will help guide them to change their way of thinking about us. Tomorrow we will go to your house in a deputation of thirty, to get a decisive response; if that is not enough, we will go with five hundred to besiege you and your associates; and you shall all fall together.
Signed, Lucifer
[1] Sting, or bite – referencing M.B.’s stabbing goblins with pins. I wanted to use the word “prick” here which would have fit as well and been nicely rude.
