Chapter
VII.—Sacrificial Orgies.
“But they did not cease to worship
images,1112
| 1112 [Comp.
Recognitions, iv. 13.—R.] | by reason of the
evil intelligence of the magicians, who found excuses for them, which
had power to constrain them to the foolish worship. For,
establishing this things by magical ceremonies, they assigned them
feasts from sacrifices, libations, flutes, and shoutings, by means of
which senseless men, being deceived, and their kingdom being taken from
them, yet did not desist from the worship that they had taken up
with. To such an extent did they prefer error, on account of its
pleasantness, before truth. They also howl after their
sacrificial surfeit, their soul from the depth, as it were by dreams,
forewarning them of the punishment that is to befall such deeds of
theirs.
