We are told that one day when he was going to pray in the chapel of P St. John the Baptist, situated on the top of the (167) \y 168 THE LIFE AND TIMES OF ST. BENEDICT. Mountain, he met the devil disguised as a doctor, and mounted on a mule, with a horn and mortar in his hand. The devil greeted him with a mocking laugh, and told him he was going to administer medicine to the monks. However, Benedict con- tinued his way to the oratory as he had intended, though he must have had some misgivings, f...or St. Gregory says he soon returned in all haste. Arrived at the monastery, he found that Satan had indeed been up to mischief, for he had entered into an old monk who was drawing water, and casting him on the ground, was grievously tormenting him. Seeing this, the holy abbot approached, and merely gave the monk a blow on the cheek, which was so effectual that the evil spirit left him and never again dared to molest him. Another example of this kind happened, only a few years before the saint's death, in the case of a young cleric of Aquino who was possessed by the devil.
