To this, which was no private opinion of Justin, but the catholic doctrine of the day, Clement of Alexandria adds a very natural thought : — " That these seduced angels set Samson an example, by letting out their secrets to their mistresses ; so that what the chaste angels wished to re- serve to the coming of the Lord — i. E. , the doctrine of Providence, and the revelation of sublime things— had been already blabbed by the philosophers. " This father was the more inexcusable for adopting such ...a notion, be- cause, in the same breath, he says that the Greeks, who were great thieves, had stolen, without acknowledgment, their knowledge from the writings of Moses and the Pro- phets. There surely needed no ghost nor demon to tell what was openly recorded in the books of a whole nation. ;;: The same vile theology is found in Tertullian, and also in Lactantius, the Christian Cicero, and tutor to the sons * Dial, pars sec. P. 311, Taris, 305. + Apol. I. -ii, Paris. + t:trora. V. P. 401.
