The author of his Life cites the opinions entertained respecting him by Luther. Philip Camerarius speaks of him in his Horae Subsecivae as a celebrated name among magicians, apparently without reference to the Life that has come down to us; and Wierus does the same thing.
This is the oldest and most universal name for the Breviary and its recitation. Other names were, Opus Dei; Agenda; Pensum servitutis; Horae; Horae Canonicae. Which books were employed in olden times in reciting the Office?

Deities who perform special service to the greater gods, Iris, Hebe, the Horae;, etc. 4. Deities whose personality is less distinct, Ate, Eris, Thanatos, Hypnos, etc. 5.
Should you be disposed to disallow the account which the scripture gives of St. Paul, I will ask the favour of you to point out and show to my understanding where in Paley's Horae Paulinae fails of proving the truth of the scripture history of St. Paul.

His frequent orations for the literary societies of Brown University and the University of Michigan, and other occasions, have been marked by scholarly finish and have always been received with approval.

Paul, or the acts of the apostles, can be supposed to be forgeries, in their full force.
Finally, an image of the god was made out of paste, and this was divided into morsels and eaten in a hideous sacrament by those who communicated."
