But god, who is immortal, has no need of difference of sex, nor of succession.
It is possible that mount olympus may have supplied the poets with the hint for saying that jupiter obtained the kingdom of heaven, because olympus is the common name both of the mountain and of heaven.
Mars, when guilty of homicide, and set free from the charge of murder by the athenians through favour, lest he should appear to be too fierce and savage, committed adultery with venus.
Therefore, if the gods are immortal and eternal, what need is there of the other sex, when they themselves do not require succession, since they are always about to exist?
The prophets, who were very many, proclaim and declare the one god; for, being filled with the inspiration of the one god, they predicted things to come, with agreeing and harmonious voice.
But god, who is the eternal mind, is undoubtedly of excellence, complete and perfect in every part.
For if god is a title of the highest power, he must be incorruptible, perfect, incapable of suffering, and subject to no other being; therefore they are not gods whom necessity compels to obey the one greatest god.
There is no one, who possesses intelligence and uses reflection, who does not understand that it is one being who both created all things and governs them with the same energy by which he created them.
The poets, therefore, however much they adorned the gods in their poems, and amplified their exploits with the highest praises, yet very frequently confess that all things are held together and governed by one spirit or mind.
Therefore let men withdraw themselves from errors; and laying aside corrupt superstitions, let them acknowledge their father and lord, whose excellence cannot be estimated, nor his greatness perceived, nor his beginning comprehended.
Let those who are famished come that they may lay aside perpetual hunger and be filled with heavenly food.
Cicero, in his treatise concerning the nature of the gods, having said that three jupiters were enumerated by theologians, adds that the third was of crete, the son of saturn, and that his tomb is shown in that island.
