Si altera parte vere dei sunt, cur sese daemonia mentiuntur? An ut nobis obsequantur? Iam ergo subiecta est Christianis divinitas vestra, nec divinitas deputanda est quae subdita est homini et, si quid ad dedecus facit, aemulis suis.
If on the one hand they really are gods, why do they lie and say they are demons? To oblige us? So you see, divinity, as you understand it, is subject to Christians, but I dont think it is really to be reckoned divinity if it is subject to a man, and (if anything can add to the disgrace) to its rivals.
