For those sayings which proceed from the\r\nheart are vain. For the law written in the heart is the People<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_994\" id=\"FNanchor_994\">[994]</a>\r\nof the Beloved—loved and loving Him.” For whether it be the Jewish\r\nwritings or those of the philosophers that he calls “the Common Books,”\r\nhe makes the truth common. And Isidore, at once son and disciple to\r\nBasilides, in the first book of the <i>Expositions of the Prophet\r\nParchor</i>, writes also in these words: “The Attics say that certain\r\nthings were intimated to Socrates, in consequence of a dæmon attending\r\non him. And Aristotle says that all men are provided with dæmons, that\r\nattend on them during the time they are in the body,—having taken this\r\npiece of prophetic instruction and transferred it to his own books,\r\nwithout acknowledging whence he had abstracted this statement.” And\r\nagain, in the second book of his work, he thus writes: “And let no\r\none think that what we say is peculiar to the elect, was said before\r\nby any philosophers. For it is not a discovery of theirs. For having<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_335\">[335]</span>\r\nappropriated it from our prophets, they attributed it to him who is\r\nwise according to them.” Again, in the same: “For to me it appears\r\nthat those who profess to philosophize, do so that they may learn what\r\nis the winged oak,<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_995\" id=\"FNanchor_995\">[995]</a> and the variegated robe on it,” all of which\r\nPherecydes has employed as theological allegories, having taken them\r\nfrom the prophecy of Cham.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK VI.","CHAPTER VI.
