22.7 Divinationis pretium. Alii: Divinacula in artibus, quas curiositas humana composuit. Sunt quædam quæ Scriptura divinacula nominavit. Gentilis autem consuetudo vel tripodas vel cortinas, vel hujusmodi vocabulis appellat, quæ quasi ad hoc consecrata, moveri ab eis et contrectari solent. Sed divina Scriptura Ephod vernaculo sermone nominat in prophetis, quod tradunt esse indumentum prophetantium I Reg. 30.. Aliud tamen in divina Scriptura prophetia, aliud divinatio. Ait enim: Non erit auguratio in Jacob, neque divinatio in Isræl. Abdicatur ergo penitus divinatio, opere enim et ministerio dæmonum impletur. Igitur Balaam acceptis divinaculis, cum solerent ad se dæmones venire, fugatos videt et Deum adesse: quem ideo dicit se interrogare, quia consuetos sibi apparere non videt. Venit ergo Deus ad Balaam, non quia sit dignus, sed ut fugentur illi qui ad maledicendum et malefaciendum adesse consueverant: hinc enim providebat Deus populo suo.
