It is the formula used, especially by St. Luke, in quotation from the Old Testament Scriptures. The other passage is: Orat. ad Graecos, c. xix. All things were by him, and without him hath been made nothing.

It now became the fashion to decry Cicero as inflated, languid, tame, and even deficient in ornament; Mecænas and Gallio followed in the career of degeneracy; till flippancy of attack, prettiness of expression, and glitter of decoration prevailed over the bold and manly eloquence of free Rome.
