38. Carmenque Christo quasi Deo dicere secum invicem. Plin.
Epist. x. 97. The sense of Deus,Oebs, Elohim, in the
ancient languages, is critically examined by Le Clerc (Ars
Critica, p. 150-156), and the propriety of worshipping a
very excellent creature is ably defended by the Socinian
Emlyn (Tracts, p. 29-36, 51-145).
