You have the life of both the prophets. Test, then, from his life and deeds, the man who says that he is inspired.

But believe yourself in the Spirit which comes from God and has power, but have no faith in the spirit which is from the earth and empty, because there is no power in it, for it comes from the devil.

Hear, then, the parable which I will tell you.

Take a stone and throw it up to Heaven and see if you can touch it; or take a syringe[*] and squirt it towards the sky, and see if you can make a hole in the Heavens.

How, sir, said I, can these things be? For both these things which you have spoken of are impossible. Even, said he, as these are impossible, so also are the earthly spirits without power and feeble.

Take now the power which comes from above. The hail is a very little grain, and when it falls on man’s head, how it hurts! Or, again, take a drop which falls on the ground from the roof, and makes a hole in stone.
