"Written by Mr. Houston, for which he was fined £200 and two years' imprisonment." Thus runs a note on the title-page, but Lowndes says that the author was a certain John Webbe. Whoever he was, the book is very clever and vigorous.

Ficinus was certainly more a pagan than a Christian, although he also wrote a work on the Christian religion. The story runs that he appeared after his death to his friend and fellow-Platonist, Mercatus, to bear testimony to the truth of his arguments for the immortality of the soul.

About 1690-1700

From internal evidence, this is the work of a personal friend of Spinosa, whose name I have not been able to learn. Although it is in fluent French, there are errors which show the author was not a Frenchman, but a Dutchman.

The sacred book of the Mandæans, Mendæites, Nasaræans, or Disciples
of John the Baptist, also called Sabians or Sabæans, is written in a language
closely akin to Chaldee. The religion is of Gnostic origin, and anti-Christian
(although based to some extent upon the Bible). Its followers were, however,
formerly called Johannite Christians.
