S. 1Chrysostom saith, In fine temporis concedenda est potestas Diabolo, ut faciat Signa utilia: ut jam Ministros Christi non per hoc cognoscanius, quia utilia faciunt Signa, sed quia omninò haec Signa non faciunt: In the end of time Power shall be given to the Devil, to work profitable Signs, and Miracles: So that then we cannot know the Ministers of Christ, by that they work profitable Miracles, but by that they work no Miracles at all.
S. 1Chrysostome saithe, In fine temporis concedenda est potestas Diabolo, vt faciat Signa vtilia: vt iam Ministros Christi non per hoc cognoscanius, quia vtilia faciunt Signa, sed quia omninò haec Signa non faciunt: In the ende of time Power shalbe geuen to the Diuel, to woorke profitable Signes, and Miracles: So that then wee cannot knowe the Ministers of Christe, by that they woorke profitable Miracles, but by that they vvoorke no Miracles at al.
- 1Chrysost. in Matthae. Homi. 49.
S. 1Augustine saithe, Non dicat, Ideo verum est, quia illa, vel illa mirabilia fecit, vel iste, vel ille: aut quia homines ad memorias mortuorum nostrorum orant, & exaudiuntur: aut quia illa, vel illa ibi contingunt, &c. Removeantur ista, vel Figmenta ⟨p. 700⟩mendacium hominum,2 vel portenta Fallacium Spirituum: Let no man say, Therefore it is true, for that this man, or that man hath wrought this, or that Miracle: or, for that men make their Prayers at the Tombs of our dead, and obtain their desires: or, for that these, or these Miracles be wrought there &c. Away with these things: they may be either the Jugglings, and Mockeries of deceitful men, or else Illusions of Lying Sprites.
