Because, as the Holy Spirit breathed on the hearts of the faithful, and conferred greater miracles of power, benumbing envy grew up the more in the sluggish hearts of the faithless; and the unbelieving multitude became hardened again…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXVII
