    • 1883, Henry Cotterill, chapter V, in Does Science aid Faith in regard to Creation?[1], Hodder and Stoughton, pages 57–58:
      The Wisdom which is the theme of the Book of the Proverbs of Solomon, the son of David king of Israel, might be regarded merely as a poetic and prosopopœic representation of the attribute of Divine wisdom, were it not that the revelation in the Gospel of the “Logos” of God as the Only‐begotten Son, Who was made man and became our Redeemer, has given a new force and reality to the personification, now that Christ has been manifested to man.
