Excerpt: ... tion, though they assert that it was tempting God, to expect that he would inform us of futurity, and reveal to us the secrets of his will, whenever the sacred book is opened for such a purpose, though it contain nothing which looks like a promise of that kind from God; though so far from being warranted by any ecclesiastical law, it has been condemned by several, and, at last, in more enlightened times, has been altogether abolished, yet they do not deny, that there have been occasions, when discreet aDd pious persons have opened the sacred book, not to discover futurity, but to meet with some passage to support them in times of distress and persecution. SIBYLS. This word is supposed to be formed of the two Greek words ma for (c)ea Dei, and (ior) counsel. The Sibyllae of antiquity were virgin-prophetesses, or maids supposed to be divinely inspired; who, in the height of their enthusiasm, gave oracles, and foretold things to come...
