Introduction
The original sin passes from Adam and Eve to the whole humanity as it happens for the sons born in slavery. On that, the progenitors of the humanity were bad merchants (“mali mercatores fuerunt”).
After the redemption, if the prince of this world has been expelled from it (cf. John 12), how does he continue his nefarious work and how does he attack the human beings? Lucifer sends “in odium Ihesu Christi et invidiam nostri” seven devils who are captains of a uncountable army of devils. They are symbols of the seven capital vices [presented in the SALIGIA order] and are worst (nequiores) of Lucifer not in their hatred but in their effects.
Seven biblical demons, each connected with a vice:
Leviathan for pride;
Mammon for greed;
Asmodeus for lust;
Beelzebub for envy;
Belphegor for gluttony;
Baalberith for wrath;
Astaroth for sloth.
