Parva fabula, pars septima

Latina:
Tempore eodem in caelo, Deus secum dixit de parvis insidiis Diaboli contra mundum creatum.

Inquit Pater, "Nunc Satana Parva vult res dirimere, sed velut excogitavimus est nobis mansurum sine mora."

Filius concordavit, dicens, "Formabimus vero hominem secundum, contemptis labores Mali."

Spiritus Sanctus sub divo volabat, alis plaudens.

Pater dixit, "Verbum creat, mi fili. Quid excogitavisti?"

Filius dixit, "Eripiemus ex homine ipso ut secundum hominem creemus et non eundem sed magnopere dissimilem creabimus."

Pater dixit, "Dic plus mihi."

Filius dixit, "Vero, estne similis cui fecimus omnibus animalibus terrae?"

Inquit Pater, "Tu sapis. Cur homo dissimilis est cum eum formavimus? Sentimus effugium argumenti."

Filius locutus est, "Ecce hoc colloquium memoratur scribeturque ab quodam seducto ab quo seducit ut seducat."

Dixit Pater, "Non est bonum memoriam falsam datam iri."

Sic Spiritus Dei in mundum iactus est, et explevit hunc scriptorem humilem casi divini ut correctionem facturus sum cui scripseram impulso Diaboli.

English:
Meanwhile, in heaven, God spoke to Himself regarding the Devil's little scheme against His creation.

The Father said, "Now Young Satan wisheth to disrupt matters, but we are to proceed as planned without delay."

The Son agreed, saying, "Verily, we shall mould the second man in spite of efforts of the evil one."

The Spirit hovered in the air, flapping His wings.

The Father said, "The Word createth, my son. What planst thou?"

The Son said, "To make a second man, we shall take from man himself and create one not selfsame but differing greatly."

The Father said, "Tell me more."

The Son said, "Really, is it not like what we have done with all the animals of the earth?"

The Father said, "Thou art reasonable. Why was man any different when we created him? I sense a plot loophole."

The Son said, "Behold, this conversation is being recorded, and shall be written down by one deceived by the Deceiver to deceive."

The Father said, "It is not good that a false account will be presented."

Thus, the Spirit of God was cast into the world, and filled this humble scribe of a divine encounter, that I shall revise what I had written falsely under the influence of the Devil.
