It is on behalf of the ancestral, the native gods that we plead for tolerance. It is all one and the same, whatever god any particular man adores. We all look up to the same stars; heaven is common to all; the same world surrounds every one of us. Whatever rests above, each in his own wisdom seeks to know the truth. It is not by one single path that we arrive at so great a mystery.
