HEN Celſus goes on, and aſſerts,
That Judaiſm, with which the
Chriſtian Religion has a very cloſe Con-
mečtion, has all along been a barbarous Seá,
tho’ he prudently forbears to reproach
the Religion as if it were of a
mean and unpoliſh’d Original; ſince
he had commended the Barbarians, as
being the Inventers of ſeveral excellent
and very important Maxims, and he
adds, That thoſe Things which were in-
deed invented by the Barbarians, have
been improv’d, and more accomodated to
Moral Wirtue by the Greeks.
