"These thick clouds are the exponents of idle fancies and vain imaginings, who 
are none other but the divines of Persia.  . . . . .
. . . . . .

By “divines” in the passage cited above is meant those men who outwardly attire 
themselves with the raiment of knowledge, but who inwardly are deprived 
therefrom."

[ESW pp6-7]

Am I correct that the word translated as "divines" is "ulama"?
