[ 938] Atheism condemned.
PRotagoras Abderites,* 1.1 because he began his Book with a doubt, De Diis, ne{que} ut sint,
ne{que} ut non sint, habeo dicere, was banished out of Athens, and his Books solemnly
burnt to ashes. And the same Athenians committed Anaxagoras to prison, and but
for Pericles had put him to death, for but writing a book of the Moon's Eclipses,
after they had received her for a Goddess. Then, do we find such jealousie of the
Heathens over their fained Gods,* 1.2 and shall the denyall and disparagement of the
Honour of the one true and ever-living God be tolerable among Christians? No,
let us know that Atheism is the main disease of the Soul, not only pestilent to the
person in whom it is harboured, but to the whole Land where it is permitted.
