By the power of Satan, in lying miracles, and false wonders.
What difference is there betwixt Christs miracles and theirs?
Very great every way: for Christs miracles were true, whereas these are false and lying, as by legerdemain. Christs miracles were from God; but theirs, where there is any thing strange, and above the common reach of men, from the devil. Christs miracles were for the most part profitable to the health of man, but theirs altogether unprofitable, and for a vain show. Christs miracles were to confirm the truth, but theirs to confirm falsehood.
