^' Theophrastus, apud Mu. Gazaeum, de Immortal. Aidmw, p. 7, 8. Ed. 1 65 ;. A a 3 358 NOTE 34. NOTE 34. — See Lecture III. P. 79. Justin Martyr says of Plato and Aristotle, " that tliey " professed to have learnt the perfect and true notion of " God^i ;" and he mentions Plato among those, " who " thought themselves able by their own human wisdom to " know (yvwvai) for certain the things that are in heaven e. " He tells us also, that while he was himself studying Pla- tonism, " he was foolish en...ough to hope that he should " arrive at the sight (KaTo^saSoLi) of God : for this is the " end of Plato's philosophy f;" and observing upon the conti'adictions in the different systems, he says, " They do " not seem to have arrived at certainty of science or at ''- knowledge (yvooixiv) which cannot be refuteds. " There are perhaps some expressions in the works of Plato, which shew, that his followers considered knowledg-e to be a term, which ought to be very rarely applied, and that they limited it to the apprehension of eternal and immu- table truths, such as the nature of the Deity, the first Cause, &c.
