Note 029
The milder Gnostics considered Jehovah, the Creator, as
a Being of a mixed nature between God and the Daemon. Others
confounded him with the evil principle. Consult the second
century of the general history of Mosheim, which gives a
very distinct, though concise, account of their strange
opinions on this subject.
