But Augustine upon the .78.1 Psalm doubteth whither God by evil Angels hath wrought miracles, whereby men were immediately endued with some benefit. And he faith, that he hath not red it in the holy scriptures: neither undoubtedly have I red it. Unless we will say, that at the length it profited Paul, that he was vexed by the angel of Satan. And that for that cause some were by him delivered unto Satan, that their spirit in the day of the Lord might be saved. But the question of Augustine tendeth not to this, but whither perfect and manifest benefits, as restoringes to health, prophecies, gifts of tongues, food, delivery, and such like, are of God sometimes by the Devil given unto holy men by some certain miracle: I think herein as Augustine thinketh, that the same is no where testified in the holy scriptures. But that by evil Angels, as well the godly as the ungodly are tempted, punished & vexed, it is evident. But after a divers sort,2 because (as Augustine in the same place affirmeth) there are after a sort two flocks of men, namely one of the wicked, and an other of the good. The good are the flock of God: even as the wicked are the flock of the Devil: wherefore towards them he worketh more freely as toward his own, ⟨image 135⟩he vexeth, mocketh, and handleth them ill, as by his own right. And yet towards them can he not do any thing beyond the measure prescribed of God. But against the flock of God he dareth do thing, but so much as God himself will sometime permit him, as we read was done of Job. God sometime suffereth the saints to be grievously afflicted of Satan, to the end his grace towards them may most manifestly be declared.
But Augustine vpon the .78.1 Psalme doubteth whither God by euyll Aungels hath wrought miracles, whereby men wer immediatly endued with some benefite. And he faith, that he hath not red it in the holy scriptures: neither vndoubtedly haue I red it. Vnlesse we wyl say, that at the length it profited Paule, that he was vexed by the angel of Sathan. And that for that cause some wer by him deliuered vnto Sathan, that their spirite in the day of the Lord might be saued. But the question of Augustine tendeth not to this, but whither perfect and manifest benefites, as restoringes to health, prophecies, giftes of tonges, foode, deliuerye, and suche like, are of God sometimes by the Deuill geuen vnto holye men by some certayne miracle: I thinke herein as Augustine thincketh, that the same is no where testified in the holy scriptures. But that by euyll Angels, as wel the godly as the vngodly are tempted, punished & vexed, it is euident. But after a diuers sorte,
