Marin Mersenne, François Garasse and French censorship in the early 17th century.

"Libertines I call our drunks, bar-flies and impious spirits who have no other God than their stomachs and who are recruited by that damned guild known as the Brotherhood of the bottle. [They] come chomping as young foals, enjoy the benefits of their age, and imagine that God will receive them with grace in their old age, and they are therefore worthy to be called libertines, although we may equally call them atheists." --François Garasse in "The curious doctrine of the would-be wits of our age", tr. JWG
