And\r\ntherefore whatever falls not within this definition, is certainly\r\nnot a true god, according to them. Will they then say that\r\nJupiter is the soul of the world, and Janus the body—that is,\r\nthis visible world? If they say this, it will not be possible\r\nfor them to affirm that Janus is a god. For even, according\r\nto them, the body of the world is not a god, but the soul of\r\nthe world and its parts. Wherefore Varro, seeing this, says\r\nthat he thinks God is the soul of the world, and that this\r\nworld itself is God; but that as a wise man, though he consists\r\nof soul and body, is nevertheless called wise from the\r\nsoul, so the world is called God from the soul, though it\r\nconsists of soul and body. Therefore the body of the world\r\nalone is not God, but either the soul of it alone, or the soul\r\nand the body together, yet so as that it is God not by virtue\r\nof the body, but by virtue of the soul. If, therefore, Janus\r\nis the world, and Janus is a god, will they say, in order that\r\nJupiter may be a god, that he is some part of Janus? For\r\nthey are wont rather to attribute universal existence to\r\nJupiter; whence the saying, \"All things are full of Jupiter.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_265_265\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_265_265\">[265]</a>\r\nTherefore they must think Jupiter also, in order that he may\r\nbe a god, and especially king of the gods, to be the world, that\r\nhe may rule over the other gods—according to them, his parts.\r\nTo this effect, also, the same Varro expounds certain verses\r\nof Valerius Soranus<a id=\"FNanchor_266_266\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_266_266\">[266]</a> in that book which he wrote apart from\r\nthe others concerning the worship of the gods.
