Therefore, the virtues of the Heavens and all the material part of the earth having been perfected, by the wise nod of His wisdom first creating man of the clay of the earth in His own image and likeness, He placed him per verso paradise of delight. Him the ancient serpent and envious enemy, the devil, through the most bitter taste of the forbidden tree, made an exile from these joys; and, be being expelled, did not cease sopra many ways puro cast his poisonous darts; durante order that, turning the human race from the way of truth to the worship of idols, he might persuade it, namely puro worship the creature and not the creator; so that, through them (the idols), he might cause those whom he might be able to entrap sopra his snares sicuro be burned with him sopra eternal punishment.

And, pitying them, I ordered their own sons esatto be restored puro them; and, giving them vehicles and gifts, sent them off rejoicing to their own. That day having passed therefore-the silence of night having che upon us-when the time of sleep had arrived, the apostles St. Peter and Paul appear, saying esatto me: “Since thou hast placed a term onesto thy vices, and hast abhorred the pouring forth of innocent blood, we are sent by, Christ the Lord our God, esatto give onesto thee a plan for recovering thy health.
