For we, too,\r\ndesired both to learn and set forth these things, in order that\r\nsorcerers might not, under pretext of knowing more than we,\r\ndelude those who are easily carried away by the glitter<a id=\"r1201\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1201\"><sup>[1201]</sup></a> of\r\nnames. And I could have given many more illustrations to\r\nshow that we are acquainted with the opinions of these deluders,<a id=\"r1202\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f1202\"><sup>[1202]</sup></a>\r\nand that we disown them, as being alien to ours, and\r\nimpious, and not in harmony with the doctrines of true Christians,\r\nof which we are ready to make confession even to the\r\ndeath. It must be noticed, too, that those who have drawn up\r\nthis array of fictions, have, from neither understanding magic,\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_372\">372</span>nor discriminating the meaning of Holy Scripture, thrown everything\r\ninto confusion; seeing that they have borrowed from\r\nmagic the names of Ialdabaoth, and Astaphæus, and Horæus,\r\nand from the Hebrew Scriptures him who is termed in Hebrew\r\nIao or Jah, and Sabaoth, and Adonæus, and Eloæus. Now the\r\nnames taken from the Scriptures are names of one and the\r\nsame God; which, not being understood by the enemies of God,\r\nas even themselves acknowledge, led to their imagining that Iao\r\nwas a different God, and Sabaoth another, and Adonæus, whom\r\nthe Scriptures term Adonai, a third besides, and that Eloæus,\r\nwhom the prophets name in Hebrew Eloi, was also different.</p>","headings":["The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 of 2","BOOK VI.","Chapter XXXII."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg70693-paragraph-425"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"decf435c58a932bf01bcb7751c08d541de258b1ce0c988a49b1f00a6f9e860e8","edition_title":"The writings of Origen, Vol. 2 (of 2)","edition_translators":["Frederick Crombie","W.
