* It is the unanimous testimony of history, and even of

legends, that the first human beings were every where

savages, and that it was to civilize them, and teach them to

make bread, that the Gods manifested themselves.

** The rock on which all the ancients have split, and which

has occasioned all their errors, has been their supposing

the idea of God to be innate and co-eternal with the soul;

and hence all the reveries developed in Plato and Jamblicus.

See the Timoeus, the Phedon, and De Mysteriis Egyptiorum,

sect. I, c. 3.
