ese days there ought to be no churches built, no sacraments
administered, that the saints as pilgrims, wander here as in a
temple filled with smoke, not being able to find religion, and that,
on this account, waiting for a church and for the coming of the
Spirit as the apostles did, they ought to seek knowledge of any
passenger, of any opinion or tenet whatsoever.--_Ed._]

491 [This was the exclamation of Archimedes the celebrated geometrician
of Syracuse, ({~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}, {~GREEK SMALL LETTER EPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER KAPPA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ALPHA~}), after discovering, when in the bath,
a method of detecting the quantity of alloy, which a fraudulent
artisan had mixed with the gold of Hiero's crown. (Plut. Mor. et
Phil. Op. p. 1094.) An exclamation somewhat similar was uttered by
Cicero, when, searching for the tomb of Archimedes in the
neighbourhood of Syracuse he at length perceived it covered with
thorns and brambles (Cic. Tusc. Quest lib. v. cap 23.) But if they
had cause to be delighted, much more surely had Philip the apostle
reason to be so when addressing Nathanael, he cried out in
ecstasy--We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets
did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph! John i. 45.--_Ed._]

What bands of faith can impious lucre hold?"
_Dryden's Translation_.
Nihil enim est fam angusti animi, tamque parvi, quam amare divitias
nihil honestius, magnifi entrusque, quam pecuniam
