Author: Boudon, Henri-Marie, 1624-1702

Year: 1857

"The power of the angels is incredible— one alone of these blessed spirits being able to defeat millions of armed men — nay, the whole world put together. They can make the winds blow, the rain fall, the thunder roar ; they can raise tempests, cause earthquakes, give abundance and famine, cure and inflict all sorts of maladies, and operate many other things almost in a moment. It is to mark their celerity that they are painted with wings ; it surpasses that of the wind : in an instant, they can pass from one end of the world to the other — being thus, in some sense, everywhere, as Tertullian says.
