On the Principle that the Worse is accustomed to be always plotting against the Better

Philo of Alexandria · Parte 147

[147] On this account the law-giver says, "Every word which a widow or a woman who is divorced vows against her own soul shall remain against it." [93] For if we call God the husband and father of the universe, supplying the origin and generation of all things, we shall be speaking rightly: as we shall if we call that heart widowed and divorced from God which either has not received divine seed, or, after having received it, has again voluntarily made it abortive.
