That the Devil Has no Power against Man Unless God have Allowed It.
Three Books of Testimonies Against the Jews — Cyprian
In the Gospel according to John: "Jesus said, Thou couldest have no power against me, unless it were given thee from above." [4546] Also in the third of Kings: "And God stirred up Satan against Solomon himself." [4547] Also in Job, first of all God permitted, and then it was allowed to the devil; and in the Gospel, the Lord first permitted, by saying to Judas, "What thou doest, do quickly." [4548] Also in Solomon, in the Proverbs: "The heart of the king is in God's hand." [4549]
