A question as to the origin of such differences in powers of evil in the sky.
Germanus: We certainly do not doubt that those orders which the Apostle enumerates refer to them: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, p. 375 against powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against spirits of wickedness in heavenly places:” 1515 but we want to know whence comes such a difference between them, or how such grades of wickedness exist? Were they created for this, to meet with these orders of evil, and in some way to serve this wickedness?
