Σελίδα 48 - But the gods were not wholly pleased with this thing; Heaven they thought had overshot its mark ; these men were too perfect; knew, understood, and saw too much. Therefore there was counsel again in heaven : What shall we do with man now? It is not good, this that we see; these are as gods; they would make themselves equal with us; lo, they know all things, great and small. Let us now contract their sight, so that they may see only a little of the surface of the earth and be content.
Σελίδα 503 - In an age, therefore, when no prejudices of artificial decency existed, what more just and natural image could they find, by which to express their idea of the beneficent power of the great Creator than that organ which endowed them with the power of procreation, and made them partakers, not only of the felicity of the Deity, but of his great characteristic attribute, that of multiplying his own image, communicating his blessings, and extending them to the generations yet unborn.

Infidel no less than Christian writers took the same disparaging view of natural religions.

Σελίδα 47 - ... dens of the earth, but these closed their holes against them. The bird Xecotcovach came to tear out their eyes ; and the Camalotz cut off their head ; and the Cotzbalam devoured their flesh; and the Tecumbalam broke and bruised their bones to powder. Thus were they all devoted to chastisement and destruction, save only a few who were preserved as memorials of the wooden men that had been ; and these now exist in the woods as little apes...
Σελίδα 50 - ... truth, they ate nothing. Their heart, indeed, it is again and again said, was almost broken by affliction. Poor wanderers! they had a cruel way to go, many forests to pierce, many stern mountains to overpass and a long passage to make through the sea, along the shingle and pebbles and drifted sand, — the sea being, however, parted for their passage.
Σελίδα 35 - The rudimentary form of all religion is the propitiation of dead ancestors, who are supposed to be still existing, and to be capable of working good or evil to their descendants.
Σελίδα 162 - They knew all the secrets, for two of them were cii/iitaue.-i' and the other a pal, who were well instructed in the mysteries. By gifts, endearments, and kindness, I elicited from them their secrets, with their explanations; and by witnessing the ceremonies which they performed, I learned by degrees, their mysteries. Thus, by devoting a portion of the nights to profound meditation, and comparing their actions with their disclosures, I was enabled after a long time, to acquire a knowledge of their...
