APPENDIX A SHORT DISCOURSE OF SUPERSTITION By JOHN SMITH THE CONTENTS OF THE ENSUING DISCOURSE _The true Notion_ of Superstition _well express’d by_ Δεισιδαιμονία, i.e. _an over-timorous and dreadful apprehension of the Deity._ _A false opinion of the Deity the true cause and rise of_ Superstition. Superstition _is most incident to such as Converse not with the Goodness of God, or are conscious to themselves of their own unlikeness to him._ _Right apprehensions of God beget in man a Nobleness and Freedome of Soul._ Superstition, _though it looks upon God as an angry Deity, yet it counts him easily pleas’d with flattering Worship._ _Apprehensions of a Deity and Guilt meeting together are apt to excite Fear._ _Hypocrites to spare their Sins seek out waies to compound with God._ _Servile and Superstitious Fear is encreased by Ignorance of the certain Causes of Terrible Effects in Nature, &c., as also by frightful Apparitions of Ghosts and Spectres._ _A further Consideration of_ Superstition _as a Composition of Fear and Flattery._ _A fuller Definition of_ Superstition, _according to the Sense of the Ancients._ Superstition _doth not alwaies appear in the same Form, but passes from one Form to another, and sometimes shrouds it self under Forms seemingly Spiritual and more refined._ Of Superstition
