Chapter Crack-brained to Credat Judæus of C by Brewer's Phrase & Fable

so God created man in His image (verse 27).
   Chap. ii. 3. He rested from all the works which He had created and made.
   Chap. ii. 4. He made the earth and the heavens; He also created them.
   Chap. ii. 22. He made woman, but created man.
   Most certainly create does not of necessity mean to make out of nothing, as fishes were "created" from water, and man was created from "earth."

Creature (The). Whisky or other spirits. A contracted form of "Creature-comfort."

"When he chanced to have taken an overdose of the creature." - Sir W. Scott: Guy Mannering, chap. xliv.

   A drop of the creature. A little whisky. The Irish call it "a drop of the crater."

Creature-comforts Food and other things necessary for the comfort of the body. Man being supposed to consist of body and soul, the body is the creature, but the soul is the "vital spark of heavenly flame."

"Mr. Squeers had been seeking in creature comforts [brandy and water] temporary forgetfulness of his unpleasant situation." - Dickens: Nicholas Nickleby.

Credat Judæus or Credat Judæus Apella. Tell that to the Marines. That may do for Apella, but I don't believe a word of it. Who this Apella was, nobody knows. (Horace: 1 Satires, v. line 100.)
    Cicero mentions a person of this name in Ad Atticum (12, ep. 19); but see Ducange.
