Do you consider the below analysis to be an accurate reading of Plato?:
... As for the expression of Plato, that the Being of God is the only true Being, and that ours is no other then a shadow of that, infinitely inferior to it in dignity, he did not consider it simply as a Being, but as an eternal Being, that wastes not away with duration, nor is obnoxious to any kind of change, that includes in its eternity all the several successions and revolutions of times, and all whose Properties and Virtues are as invariable as its essence.
Moïse Amyraut, A treatise concerning religions, in refutation of the opinion which accounts all indifferent. Wherein is also evinced the necessity of a particular revelation, and the verity and preeminence of the Christian religion above the pagan, Mahometan, and Jewish rationally demonstrated (London: Will. Nealand, 1660), Part 1.5, pp 63-64.
