3407. Continually, while he was speaking, he called on the devil, so that with opened mouth he cried out nothing but diabolic utterances, perhaps for the reason that those who constantly call upon the devil and think he can do everything attract those spirits. For thus he calls forth many, for such utterances inhere in the fantasy of many, thus throngs are raised up, into whose fantasies he enters and then draws toward himself-so he can [call forth] throngs.
