XLV.

“And ⁴⁸⁸⁹ Balaam the son of Beor they slew with the sword.” ⁴⁸⁹⁰ For, speaking no longer by the Spirit of God, but setting up another law of fornication contrary to the law of God, ⁴⁸⁹¹ this man shall no longer be reckoned as a prophet, but as a soothsayer. For, as he did not continue in the commandment of God, he received the just reward of his evil devices.
