Excerpt from The Theological and Philosophical Works of Hermes Trismegistus, Christian Neoplatonist: Translated From the Original Greek, With Preface, Notes, and Indices These same facts serve also to indicate his actual epoch. Although, as De Rouge1 has shown, very early Egyptian monuments now at Berlin and elsewhere express or insinuate the idea of the Eternal' F ather Creator, and of his Son begotten before the worlds, yet the dogma of the Holy Trinity is, as we shall find, expressed in far more categorical terms, and almost in the very words of St. John, by our Hermes in his Poem andres; so also the doctrine of Baptism and the Regenera tion or new birth, as set forth by St. John in the third chapter of his Gospel, as due to The Man, the only Son of God.
