Isaiah44:10

Ver. 10. Who hath formed a god — that is profitable for nothing?] q. d. Who but a mad man? [non-Latin text not transcribed], ſuch as was Julian the Apoſtate, called therefore Idolian by ſome.

Quis furor eſt, quae tanta animas dementia ludit?Sedulius.

What can be more ridiculous, ſaith Baſil, Quis hacludibria non derideat? Lact. then for man to go about to make God? and yet Popiſh Prieſts take upon them ſo to do: which made Averroes abhor Chriſtianity, and wiſh that his ſoul might rather be among the Philoſophers.
