Chapter XVIII.
A question whether among the devils there is any order
observed in the attack, or system in its changes.
Germanus
: Must we then
believe that wickedness is arranged and so to speak systematized among
them in such a way that there is some order in the changes observed by
them, and a regular plan of attack carried out, though it is clear that
method and system can only exist among good and upright men, as
Scripture says: “Thou shalt seek wisdom among the ungodly and
shalt not find it; and: “our enemies are senseless;” and
this: “There is neither wisdom, nor courage, nor counsel among
the ungodly.”
