We have reason to believe that the Britons inhabited England not long after the days of Noah. We might therefore expect to find resemblances between their religion and the religions of other ancient peoples; and we are not disappointed. There is a striking correspondence between the system of the ancient Britons and those of the Hebrew patriarchs, the Brahmins of India, the Magi of Persia and the Greek priests. It was one system that was finally conveyed to these different parts of the globe. Take, as a single instance of the many points of comparison, their idea of God. Among their names for the supreme God which they had in use before the introduction of Christianity were terms which have been literally translated, “God,” “Distributor,” “Governor,” “the Mysterious One,” “the Eternal,” “He that pervadeth all things,” “the Author of Existence,” “the Ancient of Days.” These expressive appellations sufficiently indicate their views of the moral character and attributes of God. The opinion of the Druids as to the nature of God is comprehensively explained by the following bold and remarkable aphorism: “Nid Dim Ond Duw, Nid Duw Ond Dim.” It defies translation so as to convey its force and beauty; but William Owen has furnished a version sufficiently plain to convey the idea: “God cannot be matter; what is not matter must be God.” These were the attributes of the God of the early Druids. They believed that the Deity was the source of life, and the giver of good. They defined His duration as eternal, and ascribed to Him omnipotence as the measure of His power. And as they found nothing in the animal creation or in man which had any proportion or resemblance to God, they had neither statues nor pictures to represent Him; from which we infer that they regarded God as a pure spirit, as disengaged from matter as He was exalted above all created things and above all resemblance to them. WORSHIP OF THE DRUIDS.
