V. 2. _Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou
ordained strength, because of thine enemies; that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger._
To the dispensations of the twilight dawn, to the first messengers of
the redeeming word, the yet lisping utterers of light and life, a
strength and power were given _because of the enemies_, greater and
of more immediate influence, than to the seers and proclaimers of a
clearer day:--even as the first re-appearing crescent of the eclipsed
moon shines for men with a keener brilliance than the following larger
segments, previously to its total emersion.
Ib. v. 5.
_Thou madest him lower than the angels, to crown him with glory and
worship_.
Power + idea = angel.
Idea - power = man, or Prometheus.
