The capital punishment which by Gods Law was to be inflicted on blasphemers, doth also declare the heinousness of the sin: (the words of the Law are express, He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord shall be put to death).1 But much more that heinous censure which the Apostle denounceth against blasphemers,2 saying, I have delivered them unto Satan, that they might learn not to blaspheme. To this purpose saith the Canon,3 A blasphemer according to the Law is to be beheaded, according to the Canon to be accursed.
