The Manichees among other their fantastical errors were wont to say, the the body of Man was made,1 not by God, but by the Angels of the Devil, which they called Gentem tenebratum: and that in Man there be two souls of contrary natures: the one of the substance of God: the other of the substance of the Devil: and that either soul continueth still as it is, and cannot alter: That is to say, that the good soul can never be il: and that the il soul can never be good. And in this sense they said, that Man hath no Free will.
