Note 49 — Chapter II · TESTIMONY OF THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH TO THE SUBJECT OF PROPHECY.
Reading edition
Dr. Russell gives the following curious extract from the Canon Chronicus of Sir John Marsham: “Plures in Oriente Joves est investigare, Græcis Romanisque longe recentioribus, nullus datur hîc locus. Varro trecentos Joves introducit: Nos originem quærimus, non multitudinem. Sane omnis de Jove theologia ex Egypto derivata est; nec Jovis solum, sed omnium etiam deorum numina inde petenda sunt.”—See his “Connection,” pp. 389–406.
