Again, his _harmonic_ power is more predominant in the _ruling supermundane_ order; for it is this divinity who harmonizing the universe, establishes about himself according to one union the choir of the Muses, and produces by this mean as a certain Theurgist says “_the harmony of exulting light_.” Apollo therefore as we have shown is _harmonic_, and this is likewise the case with the other Apollos which are contained in the earth and the other spheres; but this power appears in some places more, and in others less. These powers too subsist in the god himself in an united manner, and exempt from other natures, but in those attendants of the Gods who are superior to us, divisibly, and according to participation; for there is a great multitude of medicinal, prophetic, harmonic, and arrow-darting angels, dæmons, and heroes, suspended from Apollo, who distribute in a partial manner the uniform powers of the god. But it is necessary to consider each of these powers according to one definite characteristic; as for instance, his _harmonic_ power, according to its binding together separated multitude; his _prophetic_ power according to the enunciative; his _arrow-darting_ power, according to its being subvertive of an inordinate nature; and his _medicinal_ power, according to its perfective energy. We should likewise speculate these characteristics differently in Gods, angels, dæmons, heroes, men, animals, and plants; for the powers of the Gods extend from on high to the last of things, and at the same time appear in an accommodated manner in each; and the telestic (i.e. mystic) art endeavours through sympathy to conjoin these ultimate participants with the Gods. But in all these orders we must carefully observe, that this God is the cause of union to multiplied natures: for his _medicinal_ power, which takes away the _multiform_ nature of disease, imparts _uniform_ health; since health is symmetry and a subsistence according to nature, but that which is contrary to nature is multifarious. Thus too, his _prophetic_ power, which unfolds the simplicity of truth, takes away the variety of that which is false; but his _arrow-darting_ power, which exterminates every thing furious and wild, but prepares that which is orderly and gentle to exercise dominion, vindicates to itself unity, and exterminates a disordered nature tending to multitude; and his _musical_ power, through rhythm and harmony, places a bond, friendship and union in _wholes_, and subdues the contraries to these.
