of the Gods.
DEmocritus (faith (a) Cicero, ) in my opini¬ on, wavers, and feems uncertain, concern¬ ing the nature of the Gods ; for fometimes he conceives, that there are Images indued with Divinity in the Univerfe ; fometimes he calleth the Principles and Minds in the fame Univerfe,
God ; fometimes animate Images, which ufe ei¬ ther to profit or to harm us ; fometimes certain vaft Images, fo great, that they extiinfecally embrace the whole World.
(b) Sextus Empiricus delivers his Opinion b Adv. thus : There are certain Images which come to Maihetn Men, fome of which do good, others hurt; whence he wifiieth, that he might light upon good Images ; the/e are large and extraordinary vaft, not eafily peri/hable, nor abfolutely unpe- rifliable. They foretel events to Men by Dif- cour/eand Speech, the Antients having received an Impreffion of the/e in their Fanta/ies, from thence imagined that there is a God, whereas befldes thefe there is no God, or a Nature that is not fubjeeft to Di/Tolution.
(c) He approved the Pre-/ention of future things, that is Divination ; and Conceived, that (d) the Antients did wifely inftitute, that the “ — ■ entrails of facrificed Victims /hould be looked into ; from the Conftitucion and Colour where¬ of may be perceived figns of Health or Pefti- lence; fometimes alfo what Dearth or Plenty /hall follow.

Tts eajie wickednef to circumvent :
For ivhtlf on gain alone it ts intern,
It blindly frays, and any way is ber.ti
It is eafy to praife what we ought not, and to blan^e ; but both are figns of a depraved dif- pofition.
