John Donne
“And new Philosophy calls all in doubt,
The Element of fire is quite put out;
The Sun is lost, and th'earth, and no mans wit
Can well direct him where to looke for it ...
'Tis all in peeces, all coherence gone;
All just supply, and all Relation.”
John Donne, An Anatomy of the World: Wherein, by Occasion of the Untimely Death of Mistris Elizabeth Drury ...

Keith Thomas
“The fourteenth-century preacher, John Bromyard, used to tell the story of the shepherd who, asked if he knew who the Father, Son and Holy Ghost were, replied, 'The father and the son I know well for I tend their sheep, but I know not that third fellow; there is none of that name in our village.”
Keith Thomas, Religion and the Decline of Magic: Studies in Popular Beliefs in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century England
