You cannot distrust either the Bishop's discretion, or his good will. If he were satisfied, we no doubt should be the same." Meynell shook his head. "Not if I know anything of the odium theologicum! Besides, the Miss Nairns of this world pay small attention to bishops.

It is the consequence of his love, the recoil of his heart from the practices and theories which contradicted God's law. Now, far be it from me to say a word which should fan the embers of the odium theologicum into a blaze against either men or opinions.

The tendency of this book, 'Vestiges of the Creation, was, or was then held to be, antagonistic to the arguments from design. Familiar as we now are with the theory of evolution, such a work as the 'Vestiges' would no more stir the ODIUM THEOLOGICUM than Franklin's kite.

And now loaded with all the reproaches that the odium theologicum could suggest, I was cuffed, hunted, and finally driven out of the gates by the serious coachman, to perish on the highway. On recovering from my fright, I found myself at the edge of a dry ditch, where the poor shivering postilion sat lamenting his martyrdom.

The strongest and best was in old times called theologicum, because it was had from the clergy and religious men, to whose houses the laity sent their bottles to be filled, sure that the religious would neither drink nor be served with the worst; for the merchant would have thought his soul should have gone straightway to the devil if he had sent them any but the best.

I found in comparing the Rationale Theologicum of Nicolaus Vedelius with the refutation by Johann Musaeus that these two authors, of whom one died while a Professor at Franecker after having taught at Geneva and the other finally became the foremost theologian at Jena, are more or less in agreement on the principal rules for the use of reason, but that it is in the application of these rules they disagree.
