1652 Holy vs Profane State Joan of Arc Witch Endor Paracelsus 2in1 Thomas Fuller

‘The Holy State and the Profane State’ is a 17^th-century book by English historian Thomas Fuller. Through maxims and short commentary, Fuller describes the roles and life of every member of the holy state and the profane state (i.e., good people vs. bad people) – instruction on how to live a good life for wives, husbands, and children, physicians, merchants, notes on how to travel, service roles for bishops, and others. Fuller balances the roles of good living with those who live the ‘profane’ life – hypocrites, liars, atheists, tyrants, witches (including the Witch of Endor), and even comments on Joan of Arc as a villain!
