Against this pride of the demons, under which the\r\nhuman race was held subject as its merited punishment, there\r\nwas exerted the mighty influence of the humility of God, who\r\nappeared in the form of a servant; but men, resembling the\r\ndemons in pride, but not in knowledge, and being puffed up\r\nwith uncleanness, failed to recognise Him.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK NINTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-668"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"44f314cb7a83965acf6be4824f7a1c20dea168a6cf463b50073f4d344333f860","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume I","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Book IV)","J.
