By cessant Juvenal means evidently what we, in these days, should mean in saying of a ship in action that her fire was slackening.
If we were to quote from Juvenal "Delphis et Oracula cessant," in that case, the fathers challenge it as an argument on their side, for that Juvenal described a state of things immediately posterior to Christianity; yet even here the word cessant points to a distinction of cases which already in itself is fatal to their doctrine.
