And Bacon himself says: "For, he may rely upon it, that he can no more transmit conviction, and sensation, which he himself has not, at the time, sincerely felt, than he can convey a clear title to property in which he himself has no right." And why does the unbeliever respect the piety of a Fenelon, and a Fenelon, the morals of an unbeliever?
Beattie, another Christian doctor, towards the close of his celebrated Essay on the Immutability of Truth, denounces every sincere outspoken unbeliever as a 'murderer of human souls, and it being obvious that the murderer of a single soul must to the 'enlightened' majority of our people appear an act infinitely more horrible than the butchery of many bodies, it really does at first view seem 'passing strange' that body murderers are almost invariably hanged, whilst they who murder 'souls, if punished at all, usually escape with some harmless abuse and a year or two's imprisonment.

And I'm not so much of an unbeliever as not to have faith in my own ideas, in my own remedies, in my own desires." "Yes," said Mrs. Gould, doubtfully.

To understand it thoroughly she did not require to hear his muttered assurance
This condition, at once fascinating and ambiguous, can not arise in the soul of an unbeliever. It does not merely consist in sinking oneself in the excesses of the flesh, excited by outrageous blasphemies, for in such a case it would be no more than a case of satyriasis that had reached its climax.
