As a result, if the Jews of yore were not enlightened or subtle enough to imagine a cooperation such as is admitted in Scholastic theology, or to agree with something the cleverest theologians have difficulty in explaining, it seems to me to follow that the Sacred Scripture that attributes to God, and even to God alone, the production and conservation of all things would plunge them into error, and that the authors ofthe holy books would have spoken to men a language not only unknown but deceptive.
