The poets, therefore, however much they adorned the gods in their poems, and amplified their exploits with the highest praises, yet very frequently confess that all things are held together and governed by one spirit or mind. Lactantius
But some one will say that this supreme Being, who made all things, and those also who conferred on men particular benefits, are entitled to their respective worship. Lactantius
