Orosius and the Recognitions: pagans own one God with many ministers
So Orosius reports that the pagans used to say they did not follow many gods, but venerated many servants under one great God.
So too the old author of the Recognitions brings in the same pagans saying: "We also say that there is one God, who is Lord of all. But these too are gods. For just as there is one Caesar, who has many judges under him, such as prefects, consuls, tribunes and the other authorities, in the same way we think that, since there is one God of all, these too have been appointed gods in this world on the pattern of the authorities we have named. They are subject to the greater one, but they govern us and all that is in this world." (Orosius, Histories, book 6, beginning; Clement, Recognitions, book 5.)
Latin
LXXIV. Sic refert Orosius Paganos fateri solitos non se plures Deos sequi, sed sub uno Deo Magno plures Ministros venerari. Sic etiam vetus Recognitionum scriptor eosdem Paganos dicentes introducit, Unum esse & nos dicimus Deum qui est omnium Dominus. Sed & isti Dii sunt. Sicut enim unus est Caesar, & habet sub se multos judices, verbi gratia Praefectos, Consules, Tribunos, & caeteras Potestates; simili arbitramur modo, cum unus sit omnium Deus, etiam istos ad similitudinem earum, quas diximus Potestatum, ordinatos esse in hoc mundo Deos, illi quidem majori subjectos, nos tamen & quae in hoc mundo sunt dispensantes.
