Let us take heed lest we bring down the hight of the divine glory by making it conform to our Idiopathies. Clem. Alexand. reports out of Posidippus, how Praxiteles, when he was to make the Image of Venus, expressed in the picture the form of one Cratina whom he loved, by which means the miserable Idolaters worshiped the painters Mistresse for a Goddesse. It is a rule in Divinity, that we are to remove all imperfections from God. |
