<dl><dd>"The power of the angels is incredible— one alone  of these blessed spirits being able to defeat millions  of armed men — nay, the whole world put together.  They can make the winds blow, the rain fall, the  thunder roar ; they can raise tempests, cause earthquakes, give abundance and famine, cure and inflict  all sorts of maladies, and operate many other things  almost in a moment. It is to mark their celerity  that they are painted with wings ; it surpasses that  of the wind : in an instant, they can pass from one  end of the world to the other — being thus, in some  sense, everywhere, as Tertullian says.
