V.&#8212;Jupiter.

This Jupiter was born to Saturn in the island of Breta; and when he was grown up, he deprived his father of the kingdom.&#160; He then deluded the wives and sisters of the nobles.&#160; Moreover, Pyracmon, a smith, had made for him a sceptre.&#160; In the beginning God made the heaven, the earth, and the sea.&#160; But that frightful creature, born in the midst of time, went forth as a youth from a cave, and was nourished by stealth.&#160; Behold, that God is the author of all things, not that Jupiter.
