Pp. 217— 231.
FROM GENTILE PHILOSOPHY. 153 and from the few productions by the same author, which, as being less Antichristian in their substance, were allowed to survive. But from these sources, it is manifest enough, that Porphyry, while a man of erudition, and a writer possessing much command of language, was a person so far spoiled by his philosophy, as to be much more under the influence of his passions and his imagination, than of his reason. We might say thus much, and leave his moral ch
...aracter untouched ; but his accounts of the marvellous are such as we find it exceedingly difficult to look upon as the effects of mere credulity. Often, we think, they must have proceeded from that more doubtful source whence so many pious frauds have had their origin. In the thirty- sixth year of his age, Porphyry's impassioned Platonism taught him to meditate suicide, as presenting the shortest means of escape from the prison of the body. But he lived so far to subdue the intrusions of the flesh, as to partake of special communications from heaven, and to become, in some sense, a divine person.
