L. von Mosheim warns against such demonic impersonators. “Let us beware,” he says, “lest by too eager defence of the miracles told us by the ancients in their age, we should do injustice to the majesty of God, and to the most holy religion which teaches us to subdue ourselves, not our enemies.”—Mosheim’s Historical Commentaries on the State of Christianity, Murdock’s trans., 1853, vol. 2, p. 478.
