Excerpt from A Dissertation Upon the Druids
Divine Philosophy, as she has never been known to spurn with disdain any of her votaries, so hath she never entertained such a contempt for these cold northern climes and their inhabitants, however revolting may have been their barbarism, according to the unexaggerated declarations of old writers, that she could find it in her heart to drive them away with a frowning brow from the inner courts of her sanctuary.
