Nihil cavum neque sine signo apud Deum.

                   - Irenaeus, Adversus haereses
------------------------------------------------------------

In a book with a counterfeit thread we have an epigraph that is a distorted
copy of the actual Irenaeus quote 'nihil vacuum neque sine signo apud Deum.'

"with God there is nothing without purpose or due signification"

An epigraph taken from a book supporting Catholic dogmatism against heresy
for a book in which a Christian minister assimilates non-Christian
ideas into his
thought, actions, and sermons.

A poignant set up for all that follows.
