“‘Tis probable Religion after this
Came next in order; which they could not miss.

The Apostles were so many fishermen?
Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“People in general are equally horrified at hearing the Christian religion doubted, and at seeing it practised.”
