Epi-curus is charged, that he did but dissemble for hiscredit's sake, when he affirmed there were blessednatures, but such as enjoyed themselves, withouthaving respect to the government of the world. Wherein they say he did temporize; though insecret, he thought there was no God. But certainlyhe is traduced; for his words are noble and divine:Non deos vulgi negare profanum; sed vulgi opini-ones diis applicare profanum. Plato could havesaid no more. And although he had the confidence, to deny th...e administration, he had not the power, to deny the nature. The Indians of the West, havenames for their particular gods, though they haveno name for God: as if the heathens should havehad the names Jupiter, Apollo, Mars, etc. , but notthe word Deus; which shows that even those bar-barous people have the notion, though they havenot the latitude and extent of it. So that againstatheists, the very savages take part, with the verysubtlest philosophers. The contemplative atheist israre: a Diagoras, a Bion, a Lucian perhaps, andsome others; and yet they seem to be more thanthey are; for that all that impugn a received re-ligion, or superstition, are by the adverse partbranded with the name of atheists.
