Manichæus Promises the Knowledge of Undoubted Things, and Then Demands Faith in Doubtful Things.iv.viii.xv
The Doctrine of Manichæus Not Only Uncertain, But False. His Absurd Fancy of a Land and Race of Darkness Bordering on the Holy Region and the Substance of God. The Error, First of All, of Giving to the Nature of God Limits and Borders, as If God Were a Material Substance, Having Extension in Space.iv.viii.xvi
