We meet with three Citations from profane Writers, quoted by the Apostle Paul, as (1.) Acts 17.28.1 For in him (that is the Lord God) we live, move, and have our being, as certain also of your own; Poets have said; For we are also his Offspring, [Greek or Hebrew], which piece of a Verse Clemens Alexandrinus *says, is taken from Aratus in Phaenomenis, and recites the entire place of Aratus consisting of some Verses. In Aratus this is attributed to, or spoken of Jupiter, which Paul took notice of, as perversely and altogether unjustly ascribed to that imaginary, false, and fantastical God, and therefore restores that Sentence to the only true God. This Aratus flourished in the time of Ptolemy Philadelphus, and was illustrious in the Court of Antigonus the Son of Demetrius, who governed the Macedonian Monarchy in the 105 Olympiad: Mac. 2.1. see Sextus Senensis, lib. 2. Bibliothec. sanctae, Tit. Aratus. In the Golden Verses of Pythagoras, there is the like Sentence, [Greek or Hebrew].
