“This [withdrawing from a heretic] they [faithful women] have done, as being well aware that the gift of prophecy is not conferred on them by Marcus, the magician, but only those to whom God sends His grace from above possesses the divinely bestowed power of prophesying; and then they speak where and when God pleases, and not when Marcus orders them to do so.” Irenaeus, Against Heresies, I, XIII. 4, ANF 1:335
