XXIV. BOOK I. CH. VI. § 7.

[Then marking this my sacred speech, but truly lend]

[_]

Orpheus to Musæus; Fragm. I. from Just. Mart., Cohort. ad Gent. 15.

Then marking this my sacred speech, but truly lend
Thy heart that's reason's sphere, and the right way ascend,
And see the world's sole king. First, He is simply one
Begotten of Himself, from whom is born alone
All else, in which He's still; nor could it e'er befall
A mortal eye to see Him once, yet He sees all.
