Eusebius of Caesarea, Demonstratio Evangelica

Πάλιν δὲ ἐπὶ τὸν δι’ ἐναντίας ἰτέον, τε εἴ ποτε ὀφθαλμοῖς εἶδεν ἢ ἀκοῇ ἔγνω γόητάς τε καὶ φαρμακέας δίχα σπονδῶν καὶ θυμάτων καὶ δαιμόνων ἐπικλήσεως τε καὶ παρουσίας γοητεύοντας. μή τι οὖν καὶ κατὰ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ἢ κατὰ τῶν αὐτοῦ λόγων, ἢ κατὰ τῶν εἰσέτι νῦν ζηλούντων τὸν αὐτοῦ βίον, ἔχει τις τοιαύτην ἐπιφέρειν διαβολήν; οὐχὶ καὶ τυφλῷ δῆλον ὡς πᾶν τοὐναντίον τούτοις ἡμεῖς οἶ τὰ Ἰησοῦ φρονοῦντες ἐπιτηδεύομεν, θᾶττον μὲν θανάτῳ τὴν ψυχὴν ἢ δαίμοσι θυσίαν προέσθαι τολμῶντες, θᾶττον δὲ τῆς ζωῆς ἐξιστάμενοι ἢ τοῖς πονηροῖς δαίμοσι δουλωθῆναι ὑπομένοντες.

Again, we must turn to the opponent [and ask] whether he has ever seen with his eyes, or learned by hearsay, of sorcerers and poisoners practising sorcery without libations and sacrifices and the invocation and presence of demons. Can anyone, then, bring any such charge against our Saviour, or against his words, or against those who even now emulate his life? Is it not plain even to a blind man that we who are of Jesus' mind practise the very opposite of these things, daring to give up our souls to death sooner than [give] a sacrifice to demons, and departing from life sooner than submitting to be enslaved to the wicked demons?
