1610C.E., “J. H.”, St. Avgvstine of the Citie of God (translated), George Eld; Book #18, Chapter #32, page #720:
The deepe made anoiſe : the depth of mans heart expreſſed what it ſaw : the hight of this phantaſie, that is the deepe gaue out the voice expreſſing (as I ſayd,) what it ſaw . This phantaſie was a viſion, which hee conceiled not,but proclaimed at full .
Which although it be as I said no other then a vaine and cappricious phantasie, yet, hath it, not onely found acceptance and entertainment, with sundry learned and understanding men : but reason and authoritie are produced, or pretended to establish it for a truth.
