Excerpt from Old Scotland: Religious and SocialParliament did not confine itself, however, to the enforcement of the observance of the mere outward-appear ance of religion. In 1649, it was enacted that any person, not being distracted in his wits, who should rail upon or' curse God or any of the persons of the blessed Trinity, should be punished with death, as also any person denying God or the Trinity, and obstinately persisting therein and another Act of the same year, proceeding on the narrative that Parliament, considerlng that divers of the subjects of this realm trade in their civil affairs with heathens, whose abominations they may possibly learn and thereby be defiled and defile others, ordained that whosoever should worship a false god should be put to death without pardon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
