24 Now, as touching the other parts; 1namely that the devil can move and drive forward some things, there is no doubt thereof. For seeing the soul, which is tied much more unto the body, than a spirit is, can move & govern the body; assuredly the devil can much rather do it. This appeareth sufficiently by fires, and tempests so often raised by the devil: and by that ship of Claudia, and by the flitting of the olive garden and field of corn; of which things we spake before. It is said, that when Ascanius had carried away the household gods from Lavinium ⟨p. 87⟩unto Alba, they returned back again of themselves into their own chapel at Lavinium. Besides this, spirits do sometimes hurl stones. And these magicians, which seem to ride on a cane in the air, are kept or held aloft by a secret power of devils; and by the same power Simon Magus did fly in the air.
24 Now, as touching the other parts; 1namelie that the diuell can mooue and driue foreward some things, there is no doubt thereof. For séeing the soule, which is tied much more vnto the bodie, than a spirit is, can mooue & gouerne the bodie; assuredlie the diuell can much rather doo it. This appeareth sufficientlie by fiers, and tempests so often raised by the diuell: and by that ship of Claudia, and by the flitting of the oliue garden and féeld of corne; of which things we spake before. It is said, that when Ascanius had caried awaie the houshold gods from Lauinium ⟨p. 87⟩vnto Alba, they returned backe againe of themselues into their owne chappell at Lauinium. Besides this, spirits doo somtimes hurle stones. And these magicians, which séeme to ride on a cane in the aire, are kept or held aloft by a secret power of diuels; and by the same power Simon Magus did flie in the aire.
