"'He that believeth not shall be damned.' (Mark 16 : 16.) St. Paul exclaims (Galatians 1), 'If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.' He also says (1 Tim. 6), 'If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to the wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ ... he is proud, knowing nothing ... from such withdraw thyself.' 'Of whom (1 Tim. 1) is Hymenæus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.' In these passages persecution and punishment are clearly taught for disbelief. And that such teaching has had an immoral tendency the excommunications, the imprisonments, and sacrifice of the lives of heretics in connection with the history of Christianity abundantly prove."--B. F. Underwood. "Are men restrained by superstition? Are men restrained by what you call religion? I used to think they were not; now I admit they are. No man has ever been restrained from the commission of a real crime, but from an artificial one he has. There was a man who committed murder. They got the evidence, but he confessed that he did it. 'What did you do it for?' 'Money.' 'Did you get any money?' 'Yes.' 'How much?' 'Fifteen cents.' 'What kind of a man was he?' 'A laboring man I killed.' 'What did you do with the money?' 'I bought liquor with it.' 'Did he have anything else?' 'I think he had some meat and bread.' 'What did you do with that?' 'I ate the bread and threw away the meat; it was Friday.' So you see it will restrain in some things."--Ingersoll. The Inquisition in Spain, 1568. "Upon the 16th of February, 1568, a sentence of the Holy Office condemned all the inhabitants of the Netherlands to death as heretics. From this universal doom, only a few persons, especially named, were excepted. A proclamation of the king, dated ten days later, confirmed this decree of the Inquisition, and ordered it to be carried into instant execution, without regard to age, sex or condition. This is probably the most concise death-warrant that was ever framed. Three millions of people, men, women, and children, were sentenced to the scaffold in three lines." (John L. Motley, "The Rise of the Dutch Republic," vol. 2, p. 158.) The Inquisition. "In 1208. Innocent III. established the Inquisition. In 1209 De Montfort began the massacre of the Albigenses. In 1215 the Fourth Council of the Lateran enjoined all rulers, 'as they desired to be esteemed faithful, to swear a public oath that they would labor earnestly and to the full extent of their power, to exterminate from their dominions all those who were branded as heretics by the church.'" (Lecky's "Rationalism in Europe," vol. 1, p. 38.)
