It is supposed, that if Justin Martyr had been to express this, he would have used the phrase [Greek or Hebrew] not [Greek or Hebrew]: (Rambam's Preacher, making use of his own abilities and expressions in his Discourses, which the former phrase, it seems, may include, but not the latter). Well, but J. Martyr, in this very Apology, hath a passage just parallel to this; where he1 speaks of the discourses the Christians used, tending to the Conversion of the Heathen; and they proceeded therein [Greek or Hebrew], not [Greek or Hebrew]. Therefore, both by the word and the figure of him that appeared, we exhorting you, as we are able, know we are unaccountable for the future, although you believe not. So Justin Martyrs [Greek or Hebrew], is no other, then our Authors [Greek or Hebrew]; and the [Greek or Hebrew] in him prayed, just as he in Maimonides preached; using his own abilities, invention, expressions in praying, as the other did in preaching. And thus much our Author must yield, if he will stand to Justin Martyrs, or his own Discourse.
