83. Fifthly, we must observe that the little man professed to be delegated by others of his kind, when saying: “_I am on a mission from my flock_”, words from which many inferences may be deduced. One is, that the little man was not alone of his kind, an exceptional and solitary monster, but that there were many of the same species, since congregating they made up a flock, and that he came in the name of all; which could not have been, had not the will of many centred in him. Another is, that those animals lead a social life, since one of them was sent in the name of many. Another again is, that, although living in the Wilderness, it is not assigned to them as a permanent abode; for St Anthony having never previously been in that desert, which was far distant from his hermitage, they could not have known who he was nor what his degree of sanctity; it was therefore necessary that they should have become acquainted with him elsewhere, and, consequently, that they should have travelled beyond that wilderness. 84. Ultimo notandum, quod homunculus ille ait esse ex iis, =quos cæco errore delusa Gentilitas Faunos, Satyros et Incubos= appellant; et ex his verbis convincitur nostrum intentum principale, Incubos nempe esse animalia rationalia beatitatis, et damnationis capacia. 84. Lastly, we must observe that the little man said he was one of those whom _the Gentiles, blinded by error, call Fauns, Satyrs and Incubi_: and by these words is shown the truth of our principal proposition: that Incubi are rational animals, capable of beatitude and damnation. 85. Talium homuncionum frequens est apparitio in metallorum fodinis, ut scribit Gregorius Agricola, lib. =De Animal. subterran.=, prope finem. Isti nempe coram fossoribus minerarum comparent induti habitu, qualem habent fossores ipsi, et jocantur inter se, tripudiantque, ac rident et cachinnantur, parvosque lapides joco mittunt in metallarios, et tunc signum est, ait Auctor prædictus, optimi proventus, ac inventionis alicujus rami, aut trunci principalis arboris mineralis. 85. The apparition of such little men is of frequent occurrence in metallic mines, as is written by Gregorius Agricola in his book _De Animal. subterran._ They appear to the miners, clothed like themselves, play and caper together, laugh and titter, and throw little stones at them for the sake of amusement: a sign, says the above-named Author, of excellent success, and of the finding of some branch or body of a mineral tree.
