‘Bodies lifted up
without support, women hanging by the feet without their garments
falling about their face.’ The other references which the
Benedictine editor gives for this curious statement are evidently
borrowed from this of Hilary. From the time of the first
Apologists exorcism is, of course, constantly appealed to as an
evidence of the truth of Christianity, but usually, in somewhat
perfunctory language, and without the assertion that the writer has
himself seen what he records. Hilary himself does not profess to
be an eye-witness.
