It is worse to degrade the nature of (lod in our conceits, and to make him a vicious God, than if in our thoughts we did quite discard any such being ; for it is not so gross a crime to deny liis being, as to fancy him otherwise than he is ; such injaginations strip him of his perfections, and reduce him to a mere vanity. Plutarch saith, he should account himself less wronged by that man that should deny there ever was such a man as Plutarch, than that he should affirm, there was such a man indeed, but he was a choleric clown, a decrepid fellow, a debauched man, and an ignorant fool.
