Now, if these had heard by "rumours and hearsay that there was a certain Divine " Power, living and acting, and then at some time the "jaws of the Earth were to open and all...ow them to " quit their obscure dwelling-place and come forth into " the region which we inhabit, then, when all at once "they beheld Earth, Sea, and Sky, the enormous " clouds, the mighty winds, when they gazed on the " Sun, and perceived how vast, how beautiful it was, "how potent in its operation, how by diffusing its " light through the whole of the Heaven it was the " cause of the day : and again, when night had veiled " the earth in darkness, and they observed the whole ' firmament studded and lit up with stars, the moon " with her varying phases, now increasing, now wan- "ing, and all rising and setting and running on their EXOTERIC WORKS THE MOST STUDIED.
