For I remark, that two different\r\ncharacters are found among\r\nmen—the one true coin, the other\r\nspurious. The truly devout man\r\nis the right kind of coin, stamped\r\nby God Himself. The ungodly\r\nman, again, is false coin, unlawful,\r\nspurious, counterfeit, wrought not\r\nby God, but by the devil. I do\r\nnot mean to say that there are two\r\ndifferent human natures, but that\r\nthere is one humanity, sometimes\r\nbelonging to God, and sometimes\r\nto the devil. If any one is truly\r\nreligious, he is a man of God; but\r\nif he is irreligious, he is a man of\r\nthe devil, made such, not by nature,\r\nbut by his own choice.
