0001-ER/1678:001(050) THEY SO QUALIFI'D, SO ALLAYED, AND COVER'D THE CRIME WITH
CIRCUMSTANCES, THAT LITTLE COULD APPEAR ON THE STAGE, BUT EITHER THE CAUSES AND
PROVOCATIONS BEFORE IT, OR THE REMORSE AND PENITENCE, THE DESPAIRS AND HORRORS O
F CONSCIENCE WHICH FOLLOW'D, TO MAKE THE CRIMINAL EVERY WAY A FIT OBJECT FOR PIT
Y.
0002-ER/1678:002(027) NOR CAN WE IMAGINE THEIR STAGE SO RARELY ENDUR'D ANY BLOOD
SHED, AND THAT THE FIGHT WAS DISPLEASING, BECAUSE THE SPECTATORS WERE SOME SORT
OF EFFEMINATE, UNFIGHTING FELLOWS.
0003-ER/1678:003(027) WHEN WE REMEMBER THE BATTLES OF $MARATHON AND $SALAMIN; AN
D WITH WHAT SMALL NUMBER THESE VERY SPECTATORS HAD ROUTED $XERXES AND THE GREATE
ST ARMIES IN THE WORLD.
0004-ER/1678:004(020) FOR NOW IT WAS THAT THE ARMS OF THE $ATHENIANS (AS WELL AS
 THEIR ARTS) SHIN'D IN THEIR GREATEST GLORY.
0005-ER/1678:005(026) THE TRUTH IS, THE POETS WERE TO MOVE PITY; AND THIS PITY W
AS TO BE MOV'D FOR THE LIVING, WHO REMAIN'D; AND NOT FOR THE DEAD.
0006-ER/1678:006(038) AND THEY FOUND IN NATURE, THAT MEN COULD NOT SO EASILY PAR
DON A CRIME COMMITTED BEFORE THEIR FACES; AND CONSEQUENTLY COULD NOT BE SO EASIL
Y DISPOS'D TO BESTOW THAT PITY ON THE CRIMINAL WHICH THE POETS LABOUR'D FOR.
0007-ER/1678:007(025) THE POETS, I SAY, FOUND THAT THE SIGHT OF THE FACT MADE SO
 STRONG AN IMPRESSION, AS NO ART OF THEIRS COULD AFTERWARDS FULLY CONQUER.
0008-ER/1678:008(039) BUT LEAVE REASONING, AND RETURN TO $ROLLO; IT SEEMS VERY O
DD TO SEE THE FIRST FOUR SCENES PASS AS IF NOTHING EXTRAORDINARY WERE TOWARDS, W
ITHOUT ANY PREPARATION; AND IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT MORE ADO, THE TWO BROTHERS, TWO
 KINGS, ARE A=FIGHTING.
0009-ER/1678:009(021) THE ANCIENTS WOULD HAVE MADE THE EARTH TREMBLE, AND THE SU
N START OUT OF THE FIRMAMENT AT A SIGHT SO UNNATURAL.
0010-ER/1678:010(023) YET WE MAKE NO MORE OF THEM, BUT TURN THEM OUT, LIKE TWO C
OCKS OF THE GAME, FOR THE DIVERSION OF THE RABBLE.
0011-ER/1678:011(021) SOME HAVE REMARK'D, THAT $ATHENS BEING A DEMOCRACY, THE PO
ETS, IN FAVOUR OF THEIR GOVERNMENT, EXPOS'D KINGS, AND MADE THEM UNFORTUNATE.
0012-ER/1678:012(020) BUT CERTAINLY, EXAMINE THE KINGS OF THEIR TRAGEDIES, THEY
APPEAR ALL HEROES, AND OURS BUT DOGS, IN COMPARISON OF THEM.
0013-ER/1678:013(020) SO RESPECTFUL THEY SEEM TO KINGS IN THEIR DEMOCRACY, AND S
O UNTHINKING AND UNPOLITICK ARE OUR POETS UNDER A MONARCHY.
0014-ER/1678:014(046) $THEBES WAS ALWAYS ENEMY TO $ATHENS, YET WOULD NOT ANY NAT
IONAL PIQUE, NOR OTHER, PROVOKE THE POETS TO TREAT THOSE KINGS UNHANDSOMLY; BECA
USE BY THEIR RULES TO HAVE LESSEN'D THE KINGS, WOULD HAVE MADE THEIR TRAGEDIES O
F NO EFFECT, IN MOVING THE PITTY INTENDED BY THEM.
0015-ER/1678:015(023) THEY MADE THE KINGS UNFORTUNATE, WE MAKE THEM WICKED: THEY
 MADE THEM TO BE PITIED, WE MAKE THEM TO BE CURST AND ABHORR'D.
0016-EY/1679:001(066) MANY OLD PHILOSOPHERS OF GREAT EMINENCY, ESPECIALLY THE $P
LATONISTS IN THEIR AIRY DISCOURSES OF HUMANE SOULS, FIRST IN FAVOUR OF THEIR OWN
, PLAC'D THEM IN AN HIGHER FORM THAN THOSE OF ORDINARY PERSONS, AND OTHER ANIMAL
S: PRETENDING THAT BY FREQUENT PHISOSOPHICAL MEDITATION, THEY SO FAR REFINED THE
MSELVES, AS THAT AFTER DEATH THEY REMAIN'D IN A KIND OF ASTRAL, OR (AS TERM'D BY
 LATER TIMES) ANGELICAL CONDITION.
0017-EY/1679:002(018) AS IF BARE THINKING COULD CAUSE ANY REAL EFFECT, IN A SUBJ
ECT WITH WHOM ALL ITS THOUGHTS VANISH.
0018-EY/1679:003(041) BUT THOSE OF THE VULGAR, ESPECIALLY IF VICIOUS, THEY ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE IMMORTAL, HOWEVER TO REMAIN MORE OR LESS GRIEVING, FOR THE LO
SS OF THAT BEAUTIFUL FRUITION, ACCORDING AS THEY HAD LED ON EARTH A LIFE MORE OR
 LESS VICIOUS.
0019-EY/1679:004(046) WHICH OPINION (MERE NATURE, AND UNENLIGHTENED REASON BEING
 JUDGE) CAN'T ACQUIT IT SELF OF MANY ERROURS: FIRST THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN THEMSEL
VES, HOW THEY COULD BE CAPABLE OF A CONFIN'D LOCALITY; NOR WHERE, NOR IN WHAT SU
BJECTS THOSE SOULS SHOULD REMAIN, WHEN THEY LEFT THEIR BODIES.
0020-EY/1679:005(040) MOREOVER, ALL THEIR OPERATIONS HERE SEEMING TO BE ORGANICA
L, THEY WONDERED HOW MEN COULD BE SUPPOSED TO SEE, WHEN THEIR EYES ARE GONE; OR
TO GRIEVE, REJOICE, OR THINK, WHEN THE BRAIN, THE MEDIUM OF THINKING IS TURN'D T
O DIRT.
0021-EY/1679:006(071) FURTHER, THEY GROSSLY ASSERTED, THAT THOSE DEPARTED SOULS
COULD HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF PARTICULARS, FOR THAT THEY ARE NOT DISCERNABLE, BUT B
Y OUR BODILY SENSES, WHICH REPRESENT THEM UNTO US; BUT THEY PRETENDED THEIR KNOW
LEDGE TO BE ONLY OF UNIVERSALS, WHERE AS THERE ARE NO SUCH THINGS REALLY IN NATU
RE, THEY BEING ONLY MERE AGGREGATE TERMS, DEVISED BY OUR SELVES FOR CONVENIENCY
OF DISCOURSE, TO SAVE THE LABOUR OF ENUMERATING PARTICULARS.
0022-EY/1679:007(091) AS WHEN WE SAY, MANKIND IS MORTAL, THAT IN EFFECT SIGNIFIE
S NO MORE, BUT THAT $JOHN SUCH=A=ONE, $THOMAS, $ROBERT, $PETER ETC ONE BY ONE, E
ACH PARTICULAR MAN LIVING IS MORTAL: BUT FOR AS MUCH AS WE CANNOT NOMINATE ALL T
HOSE PARTICULARS, WERE CONSTRAINED TO INCLUDE THEM IN ONE TERM, MANKIND: WHEREAS
 IF EVERY PARTICULAR MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD WERE DEAD, THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH THIN
G AS MANKIND LEFT, NO NOT SO MUCH AS NOTIONALLY IN IMAGINATION, BECAUSE THERE WO
ULD NOT THEN REMAIN ONE MAN ALIVE TO CONCEIVE SUCH A NOTION.
0023-EY/1679:008(108) OTHERS OF LATER TIMES, NOT TAKING THE TRULY WISE ADVICE OF
 ST $PAUL, TO BEWARE OF VAIN PHILOSOPHY, HAVE ADVENTUR'D TO UPHOLD THE KNOWLEDGE
 OF HUMANE SOULS AFTER DEATH, NOT BY FAITH AND THE SCRIPTURES, WHOSE SACRED AUTH
ORITY WERE THE MOST PROPER SUPPORT OF THAT BELIEF, BUT OUT OF THE PRESUMPTION OF
 THEIR OWN SUFFICIENCY, BY THE MERE LIGHT OF NATURAL REASON; AND BECAUSE THIS AP
PEARS NOT EASILY INTELLIGIBLE, THEY ENDEAVOUR TO ILLUSTRATE IT BY TERMS TO NATUR
E AS UNINTELLIGIBLE, TELLING US OF THE SEPARATE SOULS INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE, AND T
HAT WITHOUT HELP OF THE IMAGINATIVE PART, WHICH IS ACKNOWLEDG'D TO PERISH WITH T
HE BRAIN, ITS SEAT AND ORGAN.
0024-EY/1679:009(037) BUT DIVINITY IS TOO SUBLIME A THING TO BE TRIED BY THE TES
T OF OUR IMPERFECT REASON, FOR THAT WERE TO TRY $GOD BY MAN, AND IN THESE MATTER
S MAY IT JUSTLY BE CALL'D FOLLY BEFORE $GOD.
0025-EY/1679:010(037) 'TIS USUALLY OBSERV'D, THAT THOSE WHO VENT DOCTRINES WHICH
 THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO EVINCE, MUFFLE THEM IN OBSCURE TERMS, AS ONE MAY CALL A KI
ND OF CANTING, LIKE $ARISTOTLE'S <ENTELECHEIA>, WHICH NO BODY UNDERSTOOD BUT HIM
SELF.
0026-EY/1679:011(025) THUS THIS FORM OF INTUITIVE KNOWLEDGE, WITHOUT THE HELP OF
 SENSES OR IMAGINATION, IS UTTERLY UNCONCEIVABLE TO US, WHO IN KNOWING MAKE USE
OF BOTH.
0027-EY/1679:012(093) THERE IS NOTHING THAT MORE BETRAYS THE SOUL'S INFINITY, TH
AN THOUGHT; AS WHEN IN ONE MINUTE A MAN CAN THINK OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN P
ARTS OF THE WORLD, AND IN ONE MOMENT RUN OVER MANY THOUSAND LEAGUES BOTH OF SEA
AND LAND: BUT THE CHIEF ARGUMENT THIS POINT OF THEIR PHILOSOPHY RELIES UPON, IS
A REFLEX KNOWLEDGE, WHICH WE HAVE IN PERCEIVING OUR SELVES TO KNOW: AND THIS THE
Y WILL HAVE TO BE DONE WITHOUT HELP FROM THE IMAGINATIVE REPRESENTATION: WHEREFO
RE THEY SAY, THE SOUL MAY KNOW, ALTHOUGH THAT PART BE LOST.
0028-EY/1679:013(064) BUT IF WE CONFIDENTLY MARK THIS INWARD PERCEPTION OF OUR K
NOWLEDGE, IT MAY PERHAPS BE NOTHING BUT THE INWARD EXPERIENCE, WHICH OUR IMAGINA
TIVE FACULTY GIVES US OF WHAT WE KNOW, AND DOTH NO MORE EVINCE ANY SEPARABLE FAC
ULTY OF THE SOUL, (AS $LUCRETIUS OBSERVES) THAN THE REFLEX AND INSTRINSICK PERCE
PTION OF SMART, WHICH A MAN'S FOOT GIVES HIM IN A FIT OF THE GOUT.
0029-EA/1685:001(036) HE IS A HANDSOME, GRACEFUL PERSON, AND OF A DELICATE CONST
ITUTION, AND OF AN EVEN AND SMOOTH TEMPER; SO THAT, IF ONE WOULD GO ABOUT TO DES
CRIBE A PERFECT GOOD MAN, WOULD DRAW THIS DOCTOR'S CHARACTER.
0030-EA/1685:002(028) HE IS VERY MUSICAL, BOTH THEORETICALLY AND PRACTICALLY, AN
D HE HAD A SWEET VOICE: GRACEFUL ELOCUTION; HIS DISCOURSE SO GENTLE AND OBLIGING
; CLEAR REASON; IS A GOOD POET.
0031-EA/1685:003(024) HE IS EXTREMELY WELL QUALIFIED FOR HIS PLACE OF THE SUB=AL
MONER OF THE KING'S CHAPEL, BEING A PERSON ABHORRING COVETOUSNESS, AND FULL OF P
ITY.
0032-EA/1685:004(047) THE ONLY SON OF $EDWARD_POPHAM, ADMIRAL FOR THE $PARLIAMEN
T, BEING BORN DEAF AND DUMB, WAS SENT TO HIM TO LEARN TO SPEAK, WHICH HE TAUGHT
HIM TO DO: BY WHAT METHOD, AND HOW SOON, YOU MAY SEE IN THE APPENDIX CONCERNING
IT TO HIS "ELEMENTS OF SPEECH".
0033-EA/1685:005(024) IT IS A MOST INGENIOUS AND CURIOUS DISCOURSE, AND UNTOUCHE
D BY ANY OTHER; HE WAS BEHOLDING TO NO AUTHOR; DID ONLY CONSULT WITH NATURE.
0034-EA/1685:006(063) THIS GENTLEMAN'S SON AFTERWARDS WAS A LITTLE WHILE (UPON D
R $HOLDER'S PREFERMENT TO $ELY) A SCHOLAR OF DR $WALLIS, (A MOST ILL=NATURED MAN
, AN EGREGIOUS LIAR AND BACKBITER, A FLATTERER AND FAWNER ON MY LORD $BROUNCKER
AND HIS MISS, THAT MY LORD MAY KEEP UP HIS REPUTATION) UNDER WHOM HE FORGOT WHAT
 HE LEARNT BEFORE, THE CHILD NOT ENDURING HIS MOROSE PEDANTIC HUMOUR.
0035-EA/1685:007(035) NOT LONG SINCE IN ONE OF THE "PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS"
IS ENTERED A LONG MOUNTEBANKING PANEGYRIC OF THE DOCTOR'S PRAISE FOR DOING SO ST
RANGE A THING AND NEVER MAKES ANY MENTION OF DR $HOLDER AT ALL.
0036-EA/1685:008(041) DR $HOLDER QUESTIONING $OLDENBURGH (I HAPPENED TO BE THEN
PRESENT) MR $OLDENBURGH (THOUGH A GREAT FRIEND OF DR $WALLIS) ACKNOWLEDGED THAT
THE DOCTOR HIMSELF PENNED IT EVERY WORD; WHICH OCCASIONED DR $HOLDER TO WRITE AG
AINST HIM IN A PAMPHLET IN QUARTO.
0037-EA/1685:009(045) MR $THOMAS_HOBBES WRITES TO ME, I WONDER NOT IF DR $WALLIS
, OR ANY OTHER, THAT HAVE STUDIED MATHEMATICKS ONLY TO GAIN PREFERMENT, WHEN HIS
 IGNORANCE IS DISCOVERED, CONVERT HIS STUDY TO JUGGLING AND TO THE GAINING OF A
REPUTATION OF CONJURING, DECIPHERING, AND SUCH ARTS.
0038-EA/1685:010(023) AS FOR THE MATTER IT SELF, I MEAN THE TEACHING OF A MAN BO
RN DEAF AND DUMB TO SPEAK, I THINK IT IMPOSSIBLE.
0039-EA/1685:011(051) BUT I DO NOT COUNT HIM DEAF AND INDOCIBLE THAT CAN HEAR A
WORD SPOKEN AS LOUD AS IS POSSIBLE AT THE VERY ENTRANCE TO HIS EAR; AND HE THAT
COULD MAKE HIM HEAR (BEING A GREAT AND COMMON GOOD) WOULD WELL DESERVE BOTH TO B
E HONOURED AND TO BE ENRICHED.
0040-EA/1685:012(012) HE THAT COULD MAKE HIM SPEAK A FEW WORDS ONLY DESERVED NOT
HING.
0041-EA/1685:013(014) BUT HE THAT BRAGS OF THIS AND CANNOT DO IT, DESERVES TO BE
 WHIPT.
0042-EA/1685:014(038) BUT TO RETURN TO THIS HONEST WORTHY GENTLEMAN - ANNO ABOUT
 1646, HE WENT TO $BLETCHINGTON TO HIS PARSONAGE, WHERE HIS HOSPITALITY AND LEAR
NING, MIXT WITH GREAT COURTESIE, EASILY CONCILIATED THE LOVE OF ALL HIS NEIGHBOU
RS TO HIM.
0043-EA/1685:015(065) HE WAS VERY HELPFUL IN THE EDUCATION OF HIS BROTHER=IN=LAW
, MR $CHRISTOPHER_WREN (NOW KNIGHTED) A YOUTH OF A PRODIGIOUS INVENTIVE WIT, AND
 OF WHOM HE WAS AS TENDER AS IF HE HAD BEEN HIS OWN CHILD, WHO GAVE HIM HIS FIRS
T INSTRUCTIONS IN GEOMETRY AND ARITHMETIC, AND WHEN HE WAS A YOUNG SCHOLAR AT TH
E UNIVERSITY OF $OXFORD, WAS A VERY NECESSARY AND KIND FRIEND.
0044-EA/1685:016(025) THE PARSONAGE=HOUSE AT $BLETCHINGTON WAS MR $CHRISTOPHER_W
REN'S HOME, AND RETIRING=PLACE; HERE HE CONTEMPLATED, AND STUDIED, AND FOUND OUT
 A GREAT MANY CURIOUS THINGS IN MATHEMATICKS.
0045-EA/1685:017(019) ABOUT THIS HOUSE HE MADE SEVERAL CURIOUS DIALS, WITH HIS O
WN HANDS, WHICH ARE STILL THERE TO BE SEEN.
0046-EA/1685:018(008) WHICH SEE, AS WELL WORTHY TO BE SEEN.
0047-EA/1685:019(051) IT OUGHT NOT TO BE FORGOT THE GREAT AND EXEMPLARY LOVE BET
WEEN THIS DOCTOR AND HIS VIRTUOUS WIFE, WHO IS NOT LESS TO BE ADMIRED, IN HER SE
X AND STATION, THAN HER BROTHER SIR $CHRISTOPHER; AND (WHICH IS RARE TO BE FOUND
 IN A WOMAN) HER EXCELLENCES DO NOT INFLATE HER.
0048-EA/1685:020(037) AMONGST MANY OTHER GIFTS SHE HAS A STRANGE SAGACITY AS TO
CURING OF WOUNDS, WHICH SHE DOES NOT DO SO MUCH BY PRECEDENTS AND RECEIPT BOOKS,
 AS BY HER OWN EXCOGITANCY, CONSIDERING THE CAUSES, EFFECTS, AND CIRCUMSTANCES.

0049-EA/1685:021(053) HIS MAJESTY KING $CHARLES_2 HAD HURT HIS HAND, WHICH HE IN
TRUSTED HIS CHIRURGIANS TO MAKE WELL; BUT THEY ORDERED HIM SO THAT THEY MADE IT
MUCH WORSE, SO THAT IT SWOLE, AND PAINED HIM UP TO HIS SHOULDER; AND PAINED HIM
SO EXTREMELY THAT HE COULD NOT SLEEP, AND BEGAN TO BE FEVERISH.
0050-EA/1685:022(024) THEN ONE TOLD THE KING WHAT A RARE SHE=SURGEON HE HAD IN H
IS HOUSE; SHE WAS PRESENTLY SENT FOR AT ELEVEN O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.
0051-EA/1685:023(045) SHE PRESENTLY MADE READY A POULTICE, AND APPLIED IT, AND G
AVE HIS MAJESTY SUDDEN EASE, AND HE SLEPT WELL; NEXT DAY SHE DRESSED HIM, AND IN
 A SHORT TIME PERFECTLY CURED HIM, TO THE GREAT GRIEF OF ALL THE SURGEONS, WHO E
NVY AND HATE HER.
0052-EA/1685:024(006) $WENCESLAUS_HOLLAR, $BOHEMUS, WAS BORN AT $PRAGUE.
0053-EA/1685:025(031) HIS FATHER WAS A KNIGHT OF THE EMPIRE AND A $PROTESTANT, A
ND EITHER FOR KEEPING A CONVENTICLE, OR BEING TAKEN AT ONE, FORFEITED HIS ESTATE
, AND WAS RUINED BY THE $ROMAN_CATHOLICS.
0054-EA/1685:026(025) HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN HE WAS A SCHOOL=BOY HE TOOK A DELIGHT
 IN DRAWING OF MAPS; WHICH DRAUGHTS HE KEPT, AND THEY WERE PRETTY.
0055-EA/1685:027(031) HE WAS DESIGNED BY HIS FATHER TO HAVE BEEN A LAWYER, AND W
AS PUT TO THAT PROFESSION, WHEN HIS FATHER'S TROUBLES, TOGETHER WITH THE WARS, F
ORCED HIM TO LEAVE HIS COUNTRY.
0056-EA/1685:028(022) SO THAT WHAT HE DID FOR HIS DELIGHT AND RECREATION ONLY WH
EN A BOY, PROVED TO BE HIS LIVELIHOOD WHEN A MAN.
0057-EA/1685:029(057) I THINK HE STAYED SOMETIME IN $LOW_GERMANY, THEN HE CAME I
NTO $ENGLAND, WHERE HE WAS VERY KINDLY ENTERTAINED BY THAT GREAT PATRON OF PAINT
ERS AND DRAUGHTS=MEN, $THOMAS_HOWARD LORD HIGH MARSHAL, EARL OF $ARUNDEL AND $SU
RREY, WHERE HE SPENT HIS TIME IN DRAWING AND COPYING RARITIES, WHICH HE DID ETCH
 (IE EAT WITH <AQUA FORTIS> IN COPPER PLATES).
0058-EA/1685:030(046) WHEN THE LORD MARSHAL WENT AMBASSADOR TO THE EMPEROR OF $G
ERMANY TO $VIENNA, HE TRAVELLED WITH MUCH GRANDEUR; AND AMONG OTHERS, MR $HOLLAR
 WENT WITH HIM (VERY WELL CLAD) TO TAKE VIEWS, LANDSCAPES, BUILDINGS, ETC REMARK
ABLE IN THEIR JOURNEY, WHICH WE SEE NOW AT THE PRINT=SHOPS.
0059-EA/1685:031(034) HE HATH DONE THE MOST IN THAT WAY THAT EVER ANY ONE DID, I
NSOMUCH THAT I HAVE HEARD MR $JOHN_EVELYN, RSS, SAY THAT AT SIXPENCE A PRINT HIS
 LABOUR WOULD COME TO SOME POUNDS.
0060-EA/1685:032(023) HE WAS VERY SHORT=SIGHTED, AND DID WORK SO CURIOUSLY THAT
THE CURIOSITY OF HIS WORK IS NOT TO BE JUDGED WITHOUT A MAGNIFYING=GLASS.
0061-EA/1685:033(014) WHEN HE TOOK HIS LANDSCAPES, HE, THEN, HAD A GLASS TO HELP
 HIS SIGHT.
0062-EA/1685:034(040) AT $ARUNDEL=HOUSE HE MARRIED WITH MY LADY'S WAITING WOMAN,
 MRS $TRACY, BY WHOM HE HAS A DAUGHTER, THAT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST BEAUTIES I
HAVE SEEN; HIS SON BY HER DIED IN THE PLAGUE, AN INGENIOUS YOUTH, DREW DELICATEL
Y.
0063-EA/1685:035(015) WHEN THE CIVIL WARS BROKE OUT, THE LORD MARSHAL HAD LEAVE
TO GO BEYOND SEA.
0064-EA/1685:036(012) MR $HOLLAR WENT INTO THE $LOW=COUNTRIES WHERE HE STAYED TI
LL ABOUT 1649.
0065-EA/1685:037(047) I REMEMBER HE TOLD ME THAT WHEN HE FIRST CAME INTO $ENGLAN
D (WHICH WAS A SERENE TIME OF PEACE) THAT THE PEOPLE, BOTH POOR AND RICH, DID LO
OK CHEERFULLY, BUT AT HIS RETURN, HE FOUND THE COUNTENANCES OF THE PEOPLE ALL CH
ANGED, MELANCHOLY, SPITEFUL, AS IF BEWITCHED.
0066-EA/1685:038(019) HE WAS A VERY FRIENDLY GOOD=NATURED MAN AS COULD BE, BUT S
HIFTLESS TO THE WORLD, AND DIED NOT RICH.
0067-EA/1685:039(016) I HAVE SAID BEFORE THAT HIS FATHER WAS RUINED UPON THE ACC
OUNT OF THE $PROTESTANT RELIGION.
0068-EA/1685:040(018) $WENCESLAUS DIED A $CATHOLIC, OF WHICH RELIGION, I SUPPOSE
, HE MIGHT BE EVER SINCE HE CAME TO $ARUNDEL=HOUSE.
0069-EA/1685:041(016) HAD HE LIVED TILL THE THIRTEENTH OF $JULY FOLLOWING, HE HA
D BEEN JUST 70 YEARS OLD.
0070-FS/1685:001(059) TOWARDS AN INSURRECTION THROUGHOUT $ENGLAND, THEY LAID THE
 GREATEST STRESS ON THE CITY OF $LONDON; NOT DOUBTING BUT IF THAT WERE ONCE SECU
R'D TO THEM, THE REST OF THE NATION MUST OF COURSE FALL IN; TAKING INCOURAGEMENT
 AND EXAMPLE IN THIS, AS IN MANY OTHER THINGS, FROM THE CURSED METHODS OF THE UN
NATURAL REBELLION IN THE LATE KINGS TIME.
0071-FS/1685:002(079) THE CITY OF $LONDON THEREFORE WAS CAREFULLY DIVIDED BY THE
M INTO TWENTY PARTS; AND TO THAT PURPOSE ONE OF THE LARGEST MAPS OF THE CITY AND
 LIBERTIES WAS HUNG UP IN $WEST'S CHAMBER, THE MOST USUAL PLACE OF THEIR RENDEZV
OUZES; THE MAKING THE SEVERAL PARTITIONS AND ALLOTMENTS OF THE WHOLE, BEING COMM
ITTED TO $RICHARD_GOODENOUGH, WHO BY REASON OF HIS UNIVERSAL ACQUAINTANCE, AS HA
VING BEEN SO OFTEN UNDER=SHERIFF, WAS JUDG'D THE FITTEST MAN OF THE WHOLE PARTY
FOR THAT WORK.
0072-FS/1685:003(042) THE CITY BEING THUS DIVIDED, IT WAS AGREED, THAT EVERY DIV
ISION SHOULD BE ASSIGN'D TO SOME ONE PRINCIPAL MAN OF GREATEST TRUST, COURAGE AN
D CONDUCT; EACH OF THOSE TWENTY WAS TO CHUSE NINE OR TEN, OR MORE, IN WHOM THEY
COULD CONFIDE.
0073-FS/1685:004(038) THESE WERE TO HAVE THE INSPECTION OF THE SEVERAL UNDER=WAL
KS, AND FROM TIME TO TIME TO MAKE RETURNS OF THEIR NUMBERS AND STRENGTH; AND WHE
N THE LIST WAS FINISH'D, IT WAS TO BE COMMUNICATED TO THE SUPREME MANAGERS.
0074-FS/1685:005(055) BY THIS MEANS THEY MADE NO QUESTION BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE A
 SELECT BODY OF AT LEAST EIGHT OR TEN THOUSAND APPROVED AND WELL APPOINTED MEN T
O MAKE THE FIRST ONSET; $GOODENOUGH ALONE HAVING ASSUR'D THEM, THAT OUT OF SEVEN
 DIVISIONS ONLY, THERE WERE 3000 RESOLUTE MEN PREPAR'D TO BE READY AT AN HOUR'S
WARNING.
0075-FS/1685:006(037) FOR THE INCREASING THEIR NUMBERS, AND DRAWING IN NEW CONVE
RTS, THIS ONE GENERAL RULE WAS CAREFULLY PRESCRIBED, THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE DESI
GN SHOULD IN THE BEGINNING BE WARILY CONCEAL'D FROM ALL PERSONS WITH WHOM THEY T
REATED.
0076-FS/1685:007(026) FIRST, THEIR INCLINATIONS WERE TO BE TRY'D BY GRADUAL INSI
NUATIONS, AND PLAUSIBLE DISCOURSES AT A DISTANCE, TILL THEY HAD GAIN'D A FULL AS
SURANCE OF THEIR FIDELITY.
0077-FS/1685:008(017) THEY WERE TO BE ASK'D, WHAT THEY WOULD, OR COULD DO, IN CA
SE OF A FOREIGN INVASION?
0078-FS/1685:009(032) WHEN IT WAS ANSWER'D, THEY WOULD READILY ASSIST AGAINST AN
Y COMMON ENEMY: THEN IT WAS NEXT TO BE DEMANDED, WHETHER THEY WOULD CONTRIBUTE T
HE ASSISTANCE OF THEIR PERSONS, OR PURSES, OR BOTH?
0079-FS/1685:010(021) THAT BEING ALSO DETERMINED, IT WAS TO BE FARTHER INQUIRED,
 WHAT FURNITURE OF ARMS, HORSES, AND MONEY THEY HAD IN READINESS?
0080-FS/1685:011(005) WHAT FRIENDS THEY COULD ENGAGE?
0081-FS/1685:012(022) AND IF THESE QUESTIONS WERE RESOLVED ACCORDING TO THEIR MI
NDS, THEN THE WHOLE MYSTERY OF THE VILLAINY WAS TO BE FRANKLY DISCLOSED.
0082-FS/1685:013(098) THEY WERE TO BE TOLD IN DOWN=RIGHT TERMS, THAT THERE WAS A
LREADY AN OPPRESSION AND FORCE UPON ALL THEY HAD; THAT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL INVAS
ION ON THE $ENGLISH LIBERTIES, PROPERTIES AND CONSCIENCES: THAT THE ONLY OBLIGAT
ION THE SUBJECT HAS TO THE KING, IS A MUTUAL COVENANT; THAT THIS CONVENANT WAS M
ANIFESTLY BROKEN ON THE KING'S PART; THAT THEREFORE THE PEOPLE WERE FREE FROM AL
L OATHS, OR OTHER TIES OF FEALTY AND ALLEGIANCE, AND HAD THE NATURAL LIBERTY RES
TORED TO THEM OF ASSERTING THEIR OWN RIGHTS, AND AS JUSTLY AT LEAST AGAINST A DO
MESTICK, AS AGAINST FOREIGN INVADERS.
0083-FS/1685:014(027) THE WAY BEING THUS MADE TO FOUND AND PREPARE THE DISPOSITI
ONS OF ILL MEN FOR ANY VIOLENT ENTERPRIZE; THE NEXT THING THAT CAME UNDER DELIBE
RATION WAS MONEY.
0084-FS/1685:015(147) FOR THAT, SEVERAL OF THE PARTICULAR CONSPIRATORS DECLARED,
 THEY HAD CONSIDERABLE SUMS OF THEIR OWN, OR DEPOSITED WITH THEM, WHICH WERE REA
DY, AND MIGHT BE CALL'D FOR ON OCCASION; THAT GREAT SUBSCRIPTIONS HAD BEEN MADE
OF DIVERS THOUSANDS OF POUNDS, WHICH WHEN THE TIME OF ACTION DREW NEAR, WERE TO
BE DISTRIBUTED AMONGST THE CHIEF OF THE TWENTY DIVISIONS; THAT THIS WOULD BE ENO
UGH TO MAKE PROVISION FOR A SUDDEN PUSH: BUT IF THE BUSINESS SUCCEEDED, HALF A Y
EAR'S RENT OF THE CHIMNEY=MONEY WOULD BE DUE, BESIDES WHAT THE EXCISE=OFFICE AND
 THE CUSTOM=HOUSE MIGHT AFFORD: THAT ALL THE MONEY AND PLATE IN $LUMBARD=STREET,
 AND WHAT WAS IN THE POSSESSION OF THE BANKERS, GOLDSMITHS, AND OTHER WEALTHY ME
N IN $LONDON, OR THE SUBURBS, WAS EITHER TO BE SEIZ'D ON AS A JUST FORFEITURE, O
R BORROWED UNDER THE NAME OF THE OLD, AND ANTIQUATED CHEAT OF THE PUBLICK FAITH.

0085-FS/1685:016(067) PARTICULARLY $FERGUSON, WHOSE CONSTANT CUSTOM IT WAS, IN A
LL THEIR CONSULTS, TO OUT=DO ALL THE REST BY SOME PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCE OF CRUEL
TY OF HIS OWN INVENTION, ADDED ON THIS HEAD, THAT LITTLE OR NOTHING WAS TO BE EX
PECTED FROM THE OLD RICH CITIZENS; THAT THEREFORE FIVE OR SIX OF THEM WERE TO BE
 KILL'D AT FIRST, AND THEIR ESTATES GIVEN TO THE MOBILE, TO TERRIFY THE REST.
0086-FS/1685:017(009) THE NEXT NECESSARY PROVISION THEY DEBATED ON WAS ARMS.
0087-FS/1685:018(056) AND IT IS NOTORIOUSLY KNOWN, THE WHOLE PARTY HAD FOR A LON
G TIME BEFORE, BEEN GATHERING GREAT ABUNDANCE OF ALL SORTS: ALL PROBABLY WITH TH
E SAME PROSPECT, AND IN THE SAME PROPORTION FOR THEIR PARTS IN THE CONSPIRACY, A
S THE LORD $GRAY HAD DONE FOR HIS, THOUGH THEY HAPPEN'D NOT ALL TO BE SO MANIFES
TLY DETECTED.
0088-FS/1685:019(075) FOR A GOOD WHILE BEFORE ANY CONSPIRACY WAS SUSPECTED BY HI
S MAJESTY, OR HIS MINISTERS, THE SAID LORD WAS FOUND TO HAVE BY HIM, HID UNDER O
THER COMMON FURNITURE IN A DARK GARRET, ABOVE FOURSCORE COMPLEAT ARMS IN HIS PRI
VATE CITY=HOUSE, WHERE NO OPEN ROBBERY OR ASSAULT COULD BE FEAR'D; AND BY CONSEQ
UENCE, THERE COULD NOT BE THE LEAST SHADOW OF PRETENCE THAT THEY WERE LAID IN TH
ERE FOR HIS OWN LAWFUL USE OR DEFENCE.
0089-FS/1685:020(054) BUT BESIDES THESE STORES, WHICH THEY HAD EVERY ONE MADE FO
R THEMSELVES; IT WAS RESOLV'D AT THE VERY FIRST TO ATTEMPT THE PUBLICK MAGAZINS
IN AND ABOUT THE CITY; PARTICULARLY THAT IN THE ARTILLERY=GROUND, WHERE A CONSID
ERABLE NUMBER OF EXCELLENT ARMS WERE COMMONLY KEPT WITHOUT A GUARD, FOR THE FREQ
UENT EXERCISES OF THE CITIZENS.
0090-FS/1685:021(013) MANY THOUGHTS ALSO WERE SPENT HOW TO ENGAGE THE SEAMEN TO
THEIR SIDE.
0091-FS/1685:022(038) TO THIS END SEVERAL RIOTOUS MEETINGS WERE MADE AT $WAPPING
, THE GREATEST MEN AMONGST THEM NOT DISDAINING THERE TO FEAST AND CAJOLE THE RAB
BLE; OFTEN STYLING THAT SCUM OF PEOPLE THEY THERE MET WITH, THEIR HONEST $WAPPIN
G FRIENDS.
0092-FS/1685:023(055) BESIDES THIS, SOME SEA CAPTAINS WERE TAMPER'D WITH, AND A
GOLDEN BALL WAS PROPOSED TO BE HURL'D UPON $BLACK=HEATH; NONE QUESTIONING BUT TH
E SEA MEN, ASSEMBLED AT THAT SPORT, WOULD DECLARE FOR THEM AS ONE MAN; UPON A GR
OUNDLESS FANCY, THAT THEY WERE FOR THEMSELVES HIGHLY DISCONTENTED, AND READY TO
MUTINY OF WANT OF PAY.
0093-FS/1685:024(025) THOUGH IT MUST BE SAID, AND HIS MAJESTY DOES HEREBY PUBLIC
KLY OWN, THAT THEIR PRACTISES WITH THE SEAMEN MET WITH THE LEAST SUCCESS OF ANY.

0094-FS/1685:025(056) NOR IS IT IMAGINABLE, THE BRAVE RACE OF $ENGLISH MARINERS
SHOULD EVER PROVE FALSE TO HIS MAJESTY, WHO HAS CHERISH'D, INCOURAG'D, AND PROMO
TED THAT PROFESSION MORE THAN ALL THE KINGS OF $ENGLAND HAVE DONE SINCE THE CONQ
UEST; HIS MAJESTY WELL UNDERSTANDING THAT THE SAFETY, RICHES AND HONOUR OF THIS
KINGDOM DEPEND MOST ON ITS MARITIME GREATNESS.
0095-FS/1685:026(091) HOWEVER, THE CONSPIRATORS NOT IN THE LEAST DOUBTING BUT TH
EY SHOULD HAVE SUFFICIENT NUMBERS TO MAKE A STAND, AND GIVE TIME TO OTHERS TO CO
ME IN, AND DECLARE; THEIR RENDEZVOUSES WERE APPOINTED IN THE CHIEF PIAZZA'S, AND
 MOST OF THE CONVENIENT POSTS OF $LONDON AND $WESTMINSTER; WHENCE THEY MIGHT AT
ONCE ATTACK THE BRIDGE, THE EXCHANGES, THE GUARDS, THE $SAVOY, $WHITEHAL AND THE
 $TOWER; AND THEY HAD READY IN TOWN ABOUT 100 OF $CROMWEL'S OLD OFFICERS TO HEAD
 AND GOVERN THE MIXT MULTITUDE AS SOON AS THEY SHOULD APPEAR IN ARMS.
0096-FS/1685:027(066) AT THE SAME TIME A PARTY OF 500 HORSE WAS TO COME OUT OF T
HE COUNTRY TO SCOUR THE STREETS; AND IMMEDIATELY BARRICADOES WERE TO BE MADE: TH
E HORSES OF HACKNEY=COACHES, AND OTHER STRANGERS WERE TO BE SEIZ'D ON: THE HORSE
=GUARDS NOT ACTUALLY MOUNTED TO BE SURPRIZ'D IN THEIR SEVERAL STABLES: THE CHURC
HES TO BE BROKEN OPEN, AND USED AS $ST_PAULS WAS IN THE LATE TIMES.
0097-EU/1686:001(063) THE LAST CURIOSITY THAT I SHALL MENTION OF THE TOWN OF $MI
LAN IS THE CABINET OF THE CHANOINE $SETTALA, WHICH IS NOW IN HIS BROTHER'S HANDS
, WHERE THERE ARE A GREAT MANY VERY VALUABLE THINGS BOTH OF ART AND NATURE: THER
E IS A LUMP OF ORE, IN WHICH THERE IS BOTH GOLD AND SILVER AND EMERALDS, AND DIA
MONDS, WHICH WAS BROUGHT FROM $PERU.
0098-EU/1686:002(049) THERE ARE MANY CURIOUS MOTIONS, WHERE BY AN UNSEEN SPRING,
 A BALL, AFTER IT HATH ROLLED DOWN THROUGH MANY WINDING DESCENTS, IS THROWN UP,
AND SO IT SEEMS TO BE A PERPETUAL MOTION, THIS IS DONE IN SEVERAL FORMS, AND IT
IS WELL ENOUGH DISGUISED TO DECEIVE THE VULGAR.
0099-EU/1686:003(014) MANY MOTIONS OF LITTLE ANIMALS THAT RUN ABOUT BY SPRINGS A
RE ALSO VERY PRETTY.
0100-EU/1686:004(054) THERE IS A LOADSTONE OF A VAST FORCE THAT CARRIES A GREAT
CHAIN: THERE IS ALSO A MONSTROUS CHILD THAT WAS LATELY BORN IN THE HOSPITAL, WHI
CH IS PRESERVED IN SPIRIT OF WINE: IT IS DOUBLE BELOW, IT HATH ONE BREAST AND NE
CK, TWO PAIR OF EARS, A VAST HEAD AND BUT ONE FACE.
0101-EU/1686:005(046) AS FOR THE BUILDINGS IN $MILAN THEY ARE BIG AND SUBSTANTIA
L, BUT THEY HAVE NOT MUCH REGULAR OR BEAUTIFUL ARCHITECTURE: THE GOVERNOUR'S PAL
ACE HATH SOME NOBLE APARTMENTS IN IT: THE CHIEF PALACE OF THE TOWN IS THAT OF TH
E $HOMODEI, WHICH WAS BUILT BY A BANKER.
0102-EU/1686:006(171) THERE IS ONE INCONVENIENCE IN $MILAN, WHICH THROWS DOWN AL
L THE PLEASURE THAT ONE CAN FIND IN IT: THEY HAVE NO GLASS=WINDOWS, SO THAT ONE
IS EITHER EXPOSED TO THE AIR, OR SHUT UP IN A DUNGEON: AND THIS IS SO UNIVERSAL,
 THAT THERE IS NOT ONE HOUSE OF TEN THAT HATH GLASS IN THEIR WINDOWS: THE SAME D
EFECT IS IN $FLORENCE, BESIDES ALL THE SMALL TOWNS OF $ITALY, WHICH IS AN EFFECT
 OF THEIR POVERTY: FOR WHAT BY THE OPPRESSION OF THEIR GOVERNMENT, WHAT BY THE N
O LESS SQUEEZING OPPRESSION OF THEIR PRIESTS, WHO DRAIN ALL THE REST OF THEIR WE
ALTH THAT IS NOT EAT UP BY THE PRINCE, TO ENRICH THEIR CHURCHES AND CONVENTS, TH
E PEOPLE ARE HERE REDUCED TO A POVERTY THAT CANNOT BE EASILY BELIEVED BY ONE THA
T SEES THE WEALTH THAT IS IN THEIR CHURCHES; AND THIS IS GOING ON SO CONSTANTLY
IN $MILAN, THAT IT IS SCARCE ACCOUNTABLE FROM WHENCE SO VAST A TREASURE CAN BE F
OUND; BUT PURGATORY IS A FOND NOT EASILY EXHAUSTED.
0103-EU/1686:007(085) THE WEALTH OF THE $MILANESES CONSISTS CHIEFLY IN THEIR SIL
KS, AND THAT TRADE FALLS SO MIGHTILY BY THE VAST IMPORTATIONS THAT THE $EAST=IND
IA COMPANIES BRING INTO $EUROPE, THAT ALL $ITALY FEELS THIS VERY SENSIBLY, AND L
ANGUISHES EXTREAMLY BY THE GREAT FALL THAT IS IN THE SILK=TRADE: THERE IS A GREA
T MAGNIFICENCE IN $MILAN; THE NOBILITY AFFECT TO MAKE A NOBLE APPEARANCE BOTH IN
 THEIR CLOATHS, THEIR COACHES, AND THEIR ATTENDANTS; AND THE WOMEN GO ABROAD WIT
H MORE FREEDOM HERE THAN IN ANY TOWN OF $ITALY.
0104-EU/1686:008(019) AND THUS I HAVE TOLD YOU ALL THAT HATH HITHERTO OCCURRED T
O ME, THAT I THOUGHT WORTH YOUR KNOWLEDGE.
0105-EU/1686:009(204) IN THE ACCOUNT THAT I GAVE YOU OF $GENEVA, I FORGOT TO MEN
TION A VERY EXTRAORDINARY PERSON THAT IS THERE, MISTRESS $WALKIER; HER FATHER IS
 OF $SHAFF=HOUSE, SHE LOST HER SIGHT WHEN SHE WAS BUT A YEAR OLD, BY BEING TOO N
EAR A STOVE THAT WAS VERY HOT: THERE RESTS IN THE UPPER PART OF HER EYE SO MUCH
SIGHT, THAT SHE DISTINGUISHES DAY FROM NIGHT: AND WHEN ANY PERSON STANDS BETWEEN
 HER AND THE LIGHT, SHE WILL DISTINGUISH BY THE HEAD AND ITS DRESS A MAN FROM A
WOMAN, BUT WHEN SHE TURNS DOWN HER EYES SHE SEES NOTHING: SHE HATH A VAST MEMORY
; BESIDES THE $FRENCH THAT IS HER NATURAL LANGUAGE, SHE SPEAKS BOTH $HIGH=DUTCH,
 $ITALIAN AND $LATIN, SHE HATH ALL THE "PSALMS" BY HEART IN $FRENCH, AND MANY OF
 THEM IN $DUTCH AND $ITALIAN: SHE UNDERSTANDS THE OLD PHILOSOPHY WELL, AND IS NO
W STUDYING THE NEW: SHE HATH STUDIED THE BODY OF DIVINITY WELL, AND HATH THE TEX
TS OF THE SCRIPTURES VERY READY: ON ALL WHICH MATTERS I HAD LONG CONVERSATIONS W
ITH HER; SHE NOT ONLY SINGS WELL, BUT SHE PLAYS RARELY ON THE ORGAN; AND I WAS T
OLD SHE PLAYED ON THE VIOLIN, BUT HER VIOLIN WAS OUT OF ORDER.
0106-EU/1686:010(080) BUT THAT WHICH IS MOST OF ALL, IS, SHE WRITES LEGIBLY: IN
ORDER TO HER LEARNING TO WRITE, HER FATHER WHO IS A WORTHY MAN, AND HATH SUCH TE
NDERNESS FOR HER, THAT HE FURNISHETH HER WITH MASTERS OF ALL SORTS, ORDERED LETT
ERS TO BE CARVED IN WOOD, AND SHE BY FEELING THE CHARACTERS FORMED SUCH AN IDEA
OF THEM, THAT SHE WRITES WITH A CRAYON SO DISTINCTLY, THAT HER WRITING CAN BE WE
LL READ, OF WHICH I HAVE SEVERAL ESSaYS.
0107-EU/1686:011(027) I SAW HER WRITE, SHE DOTH IT MORE NIMBLY THAT CAN BE IMAGI
NED; SHE HATH A MACHINE THAT HOLDS THE PAPER, AND KEEPS HER ALWAYS IN LINE.
0108-EU/1686:012(045) BUT THAT WHICH IS ABOVE ALL THE REST, SHE IS A PERSON OF E
XTRAORDINARY DEVOTION, GREAT RESIGNATION TO THE WILL OF $GOD, AND A PROFOUND HUM
ILITY: THE PRECEPTOR THAT THE FATHER KEPT IN THE HOUSE WITH HER, HATH LIKEWISE A
 WONDERFUL FACULTY OF ACQUIRING TONGUES.
0109-EU/1686:013(090) WHEN HE CAME FIRST TO $GENEVA (FOR HE IS OF $ZURICH) HE SP
OKE NOT A WORD OF $FRENCH, AND WITHIN THIRTEEN MONTHS HE PREACHT IN $FRENCH CORR
ECTLY, AND WITH A GOOD ACCENT: HE ALSO BEGAN TO STUDY $ITALIAN IN THE MONTH OF $
NOVEMBER, AND BEFORE THE END OF THE FOLLOWING $FEBRUARY HE PREACHT IN $ITALIAN;
HIS ACCENT WAS GOOD, AND HIS STILE FLORID, WHICH WAS VERY EXTRAORDINARY, FOR THE
 $ITALIAN LANGUAGE IS NOT SPOKEN IN $GENEVA, THO' THE RACE OF THE $ITALIANS DO K
EEP UP STILL AN $ITALIAN CHURCH THERE.
0110-EU/1686:014(037) I HAVE NOW ANOTHER MONTH OVER MY HEAD SINCE I WRIT LAST TO
 YOU, AND SO I KNOW YOU EXPECT AN ACCOUNT OF THE MOST CONSIDERABLE THINGS THAT H
AVE OCCURRED TO ME SINCE MY LAST FROM $MILAN.
0111-EU/1686:015(091) TWENTY MILES FROM $MILAN WE PASSED THROUGH $LODI A MISERAB
LE GARRISON, THO' A FRONTIER TOWN; BUT INDEED THE FRONTIERS, BOTH OF THE $SPANIA
RDS AND THE $VENETIANS, AS WELL AS THOSE OF THE OTHER PRINCES OF $ITALY, SHEW TH
AT THEY ARE NOT VERY APPREHENSIVE OF ONE ANOTHER; AND WHEN ONE PASSES THROUGH TH
OSE PLACES, WHICH ARE REPRESENTED IN HISTORY AS PLACES OF GREAT STRENGTH, CAPABL
E OF RESISTING A LONG SIEGE, HE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SIGHT OF THEM, BRINGS
THE IDEA THAT HE HAD CONCEIVED OF THEM, A GREAT MANY DEGREES LOWER.
0112-EU/1686:016(029) FOR $LOMBARDY, WHICH WAS SO LONG THE SEAT OF WAR COULD NOT
 STAND OUT AGAINST A GOOD ARMY NOW FOR SO MANY DAYS, AS IT DID THEN FOR YEARS.
0113-EU/1686:017(032) THE GARRISON OF $CREMA WHICH IS THE FIRST OF THE $VENETIAN
 TERRITORY, IS NO BETTER THAN THAT OF $LODI, ONLY THE PEOPLE IN THE $VENETIAN DO
MINION LIVE HAPPIER THAN UNDER THE $SPANIARD.
0114-EU/1686:018(056) THE SENATE SENDS PODESTA'S MUCH LIKE THE BAILIFS OF THE $S
WITZERS, WHO ORDER THE JUSTICE AND THE CIVIL GOVERNMENT OF THE JURISDICTION ASSI
GNED THEM: THERE IS ALSO A CAPTAIN GENERAL WHO HATH THE MILITARY AUTHORITY IN HI
S HANDS; AND THESE TWO ARE CHECKS UPON ONE ANOTHER, AS THE BASSA'S AND THE CADI'
S ARE AMONG THE $TURKS.
0115-EU/1686:019(016) BUT HERE IN $CREMA THE TOWN IS SO SMALL THAT BOTH THESE AR
E IN ONE PERSON.
0116-EU/1686:020(034) WE WERE THERE IN THE TIME OF THE FAIR, LINEN CLOATH AND CH
EESE, (WHICH THO' IT GOES BY THE NAME OF $PARMESAN, IS MADE CHIEFLY IN $LODI) AR
E THE MAIN INGREDIENTS OF THE FAIR.
0117-EU/1686:021(063) THE MAGNIFICENCE OF THE PODESTA APPEARED VERY EXTRAORDINAR
Y, FOR HE WENT THROUGH THE FAIR WITH A GREAT TRAIN OF COACHES, ALL IN HIS OWN LI
VERY; AND THE TWO COACHES IN WHICH HE AND HIS LADY RIDE WERE BOTH EXTRAORDINARY
RICH: HIS WAS A HUGE BED=COACH, ALL THE OUTSIDE BLACK VELVET, AND A MIGHTY RICH
GOLD FRINGE, LINED WITH BLACK DAMASK, FLOWERED WITH GOLD.
0118-EU/1686:022(188) FROM $CREMA IT IS THIRTY MILES TO $BRESCIA, WHICH IS A GRE
AT TOWN, AND FULL OF TRADE AND WEALTH, HERE THEY MAKE THE BEST BARRELS FOR PISTO
LS AND MUSKETS OF ALL $ITALY: THERE ARE GREAT IRON WORKS NEAR IT: BUT THE WAR WI
TH THE $TURK HAD OCCASIONED AN ORDER THAT NONE MIGHT BE SOLD WITHOUT A PERMISSIO
N FROM $VENICE: THEY ARE BUILDING A NOBLE DOME AT $BRESCIA: I WAS SHEWED A NUNNE
RY THERE, WHICH IS NOW UNDER A GREAT DISGRACE, SOME YEARS AGO A NEW BISHOP COMIN
G THITHER, BEGAN WITH THE VISITATION OF THAT NUNNERY: HE DISCOVERED TWO VAULTS,
BY ONE, MEN CAME ORDINARILY INTO IT: AND BY ANOTHER THE NUNS THAT WERE BIG WENT
AND LAY IN OF CHILDBED: WHEN HE WAS EXAMINING THE NUNS SEVERELY CONCERNING THOSE
 VAULTS, SOME OF THEM TOLD HIM, THAT HIS OWN PRIESTS DID MUCH WORSE: HE SHUT UP
THE NUNS, SO THAT THOSE WHO ARE PROFESSED LIVE STILL THERE, BUT NONE COME TO TAK
E THE VEIL: AND BY THIS MEANS THE HOUSE WILL SOON COME TO AN END: THE CITADEL LI
ES OVER THE TOWN ON A ROCK, AND COMMANDS IT ABSOLUTELY.
0119-EU/1686:023(084) BOTH HERE AND IN $CREMA THE TOWNS HAVE BEGUN A COMPLEMENT
WITHIN THESE LAST TEN OR TWELVE YEARS TO THEIR PODESTA'S, WHICH IS A MATTER OF G
REAT ORNAMENT TO THEIR PALACES, BUT WILL GROW TO A VAST CHARGE, FOR THEY ERECT S
TATUES TO THEIR PODESTA'S: AND THIS BEING ONCE BEGUN, MUST BE CARRIED ON: OTHERW
ISE THOSE TO WHOM THE LIKE HONOUR IS NOT DONE WILL RESENT IT AS A HIGH AFFRONT,
AND THE REVENGES OF THE NOBLE $VENETIANS, ARE DREADFUL THINGS TO THEIR SUBJECTS.

0120-EU/1686:024(033) THIS NAME OF PODESTA IS VERY ANCIENT, FOR IN THE $ROMAN TI
MES, THE CHIEF MAGISTRATES OF THE LESSER TOWNS WAS CALLED THE <POTESTAS>, AS APP
EARS BY THAT OF $JUVENAL <FIDENARUM GABIORUMVE ESSE POTESTAS>.
0121-EU/1686:025(100) FROM $BRESCIA THE BEAUTY OF $LOMBARDY IS A LITTLE INTERRUP
TED, FOR AS ALL THE WAY FROM $MILAN TO $BRESCIA IS AS ONE GARDEN, SO HERE ON THE
 ONE SIDE WE COME UNDER THE MOUNTAINS, AND WE PASS BY THE LAKE OF $GUARDA, WHICH
 IS FORTY MILES LONG, AND WHERE IT IS BROADEST, IS TWENTY MILES BROAD: THE MILES
 INDEED, ALL $LOMBARDY OVER, ARE EXTREAM SHORT, FOR I WALKT OFTEN FOUR OR FIVE M
ILES IN A WALK, AND I FOUND A THOUSAND PACES MADE THEIR COMMON MILE; BUT IN $TUS
CANY AND THE KINGDOM OF $NAPLES, THE MILE IS FIFTEEN HUNDRED PACES.
0122-EU/1686:026(021) WE PASS THROUGH A GREAT HEATH FOR SEVEN OR EIGHT MILES ON
THIS SIDE OF $VERONA, WHICH BEGINS TO BE CULTIVATED.
0123-EU/1686:027(083) $VERONA IS A VAST TOWN, AND MUCH OF IT WELL BUILT; THERE A
RE MANY RICH CHURCHES IN IT: BUT THERE IS SO LITTLE TRADE STIRRING, AND SO LITTL
E MONEY GOING, THAT IT IS NOT EASY HERE TO CHANGE A PISTOLE, WITHOUT TAKING THEI
R COIN OF BASE ALLOY, WHICH DOTH NOT PASS OUT OF THE $VERONESE: FOR THIS SEEMS A
 STRANGE MAXIM OF THE $VENETIANS, TO SUFFER THOSE SMALL STATES TO RETAIN STILL A
 COIN PECULIAR TO THEM, WHICH IS EXTREAM INCONVENIENT FOR COMMERCE.
0124-EU/1686:028(111) THE KNOWN ANTIQUITY OF $VERONA IS THE AMPHITHEATER, ONE OF
 THE LEAST OF ALL THAT THE $ROMANS BUILT, BUT THE BEST PRESERVED, FOR THO' MOST
OF THE GREAT STONES OF THE OUTSIDE ARE PICKT OUT: YET THE GREAT SLOPING VAULT ON
 WHICH THE ROWS OF THE SEATS ARE LAID, IS ENTIRE, THE ROWS OF THE SEATS ARE ALSO
 INTIRE, THEY ARE FORTY ROWS, EVERY ROW IS A FOOT AND HALF HIGH, AND AS MUCH IN
BREADTH, SO THAT A MAN SITS CONVENIENTLY IN THEM, UNDER THE FEET OF THOSE OF THE
 HIGHER ROW; AND ALLOWING EVERY MAN A FOOT AND A HALF, THE WHOLE AMPHITHEATER CA
N HOLD TWENTY THREE THOUSAND PERSONS.
0125-EU/1686:029(060) IN THE VAULTS: UNDER THE ROWS OF SEATS WERE THE STALLS OF
THE BEASTS THAT WERE PRESENTED TO ENTERTAIN THE COMPANY: THE THICKNESS OF THE BU
ILDING, FROM THE OUTWARD WALL TO THE LOWEST ROW OF SEATS, IS NINETY FOOT: BUT TH
IS NOBLE REMNANT OF ANTIQUITY, IS SO OFTEN AND SO COPIOUSLY DESCRIBED THAT I WIL
L SAY NO MORE OF IT.
0126-FH/1686:001(056) THERE IS A GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ENJOYING QUIETLY THE A
DVANTAGES OF AN ACT IRREGULARLY DONE BY OTHERS, AND THE GOING ABOUT TO SUPPORT I
T AGAINST THE LAWS IN BEING: THE LAW IS SO SACRED, THAT NO TRESPASS AGAINST IT I
S TO BE DEFENDED; YET FRAILTIES MAY IN SOME MEASURE BE EXCUSED, WHEN THEY CANNOT
 BE JUSTIFIED.
0127-FH/1686:002(029) THE DESIRE OF ENJOYING A LIBERTY FROM WHICH MEN HAVE BEEN
SO LONG RESTRAINED, MAY BE A TEMPTATION THAT THEIR REASON IS NOT AT ALL TIMES AB
LE TO RESIST.
0128-FH/1686:003(116) IF IN SUCH A CASE, SOME OBJECTIONS ARE LEAPT OVER, INDIFFE
RENT MEN WILL BE MORE INCLINED TO LAMENT THE OCCASION, THAN TO FALL TOO HARD UPO
N THE FAULT, WHILST IT IS COVERED WITH THE APOLOGY OF A GOOD INTENTION; BUT WHER
E TO RESCUE YOUR SELVES FROM THE SEVERITY OF ONE LAW, YOU GIVE A BLOW TO ALL THE
 LAWS, BY WHICH YOUR RELIGION AND LIBERTY ARE TO BE PROTECTED; AND INSTEAD OF SI
LENTLY RECEIVING THE BENEFIT OF THIS INDULGENCE, YOU SET UP FOR ADVOCATES TO SUP
PORT IT, YOU BECOME VOLUNTARY AGGRESSORS, AND LOOK LIKE COUNSEL RETAINED BY THE
PREROGATIVE AGAINST YOUR OLD FRIEND $MAGNA_CHARTA, WHO HATH DONE NOTHING TO DESE
RVE HER FALLING THUS UNDER YOUR DISPLEASURE.
0129-FH/1686:004(038) IF THE CASE THEN SHOULD BE, THAT THE PRICE EXPECTED FROM Y
OU FOR THIS LIBERTY, IN GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT IN THE LAWS, SURE YOU WILL THINK TW
ICE, BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER IS SUCH A LOSING BARGAIN.
0130-FH/1686:005(060) AFTER GIVING THANKS FOR THE BREACH OF ONE LAW, YOU LOSE TH
E RIGHT OF COMPLAINING OF THE BREACH OF ALL THE REST; YOU WILL NOT VERY WELL KNO
W HOW TO DEFEND YOUR SELVES, WHEN YOU ARE PRESSED; AND HAVING GIVEN UP THE QUEST
ION, WHEN IT WAS FOR YOUR ADVANTAGE, YOU CANNOT RECAL IT, WHEN IT SHALL BE TO YO
UR PREJUDICE.
0131-FH/1686:006(049) IF YOU WILL SET UP AT ONE TIME A POWER TO HELP YOU, WHICH
AT ANOTHER TIME BY PARITY OF REASON SHALL BE MADE USE OF TO DESTROY YOU, YOU WIL
L NEITHER BE PITIED, NOR RELIEVED AGAINST A MISCHIEF YOU DRAW UPON YOUR SELVES,
BY BEING SO UNREASONABLY THANKFUL.
0132-FH/1686:007(037) IT IS LIKE CALLING IN AUXILIARIES TO HELP, WHO ARE STRONG
ENOUGH TO SUBDUE YOU: IN SUCH A CASE YOUR COMPLAINTS WILL COME TOO LATE TO BE HE
ARD, AND YOUR SUFFERINGS WILL RAISE MIRTH INSTEAD OF COMPASSION.
0133-FH/1686:008(078) IF YOU THINK, FOR YOUR EXCUSE, TO EXPOUND YOUR THANKS SO A
S TO RESTRAIN THEM TO THIS PARTICULAR CASE, OTHERS, FOR THEIR ENDS, WILL EXTEND
THEM FURTHER; AND IN THESE DIFFERING INTERPRETATIONS, THAT WHICH IS BACK'D BY AU
THORITY WILL BE THE MOST LIKELY TO PREVAIL; ESPECIALLY WHEN BY THE ADVANTAGE YOU
 HAVE GIVEN THEM, THEY HAVE IN TRUTH THE BETTER OF THE ARGUMENT, AND THAT THE IN
FERENCES FROM YOUR OWN CONCESSIONS ARE VERY STRONG, AND EXPRESS AGAINST YOU.
0134-FH/1686:009(103) THIS IS SO FAR FROM BEING A GROUNDLESS SUPPOSITION, THAT T
HERE WAS A LATE INSTANCE OF IT, THE LAST SESSION OF $PARLIAMENT, IN THE $HOUSE O
F $LORDS, WHERE THE FIRST THANKS, THO THINGS OF COURSE, WERE INTERPRETED TO BE T
HE APPROBATION OF THE KING'S WHOLE SPEECH, AND A RESTRAINT FROM THE FURTHER EXAM
INATION OF ANY PART OF IT, THO NEVER SO MUCH DISLIKED; AS IT WAS WITH DIFFICULTY
 OBTAINED, NOT TO BE EXCLUDED FROM THE LIBERTY OF OBJECTING TO THIS MIGHTY PRERO
GATIVE OF DISPENSING, MERELY BY THIS INNOCENT AND USUAL PIECE OF GOOD MANNERS, B
Y WHICH NO SUCH THING COULD POSSIBLY BE INTENDED.
0135-FH/1686:010(030) THIS SHEWETH, THAT SOME BOUNDS ARE TO BE PUT TO YOUR GOOD
BREEDING, AND THAT THE CONSTITUTION OF $ENGLAND IS TOO VALUABLE A THING TO BE VE
NTURED UPON A COMPLEMENT.
0136-FH/1686:011(077) NOW THAT YOU HAVE FOR SOME TIME ENJOYED THE BENEFIT OF THE
 END, IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO LOOK INTO THE DANGER OF THE MEANS: THE SAME REASON T
HAT MADE YOU DESIROUS TO GET LIBERTY, MUST MAKE YOU SOLICITOUS TO PRESERVE IT; S
O THAT THE NEXT THOUGHT WILL NATURALLY BE, NOT TO ENGAGE YOUR SELF BEYOND RETREA
T, AND TO AGREE SO FAR WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF ALL RELIGIONS, AS NOT TO RELY UPON
 A DEATH=BED REPENTANCE.
0137-FH/1686:012(018) THERE ARE CERTAIN PERIODS OF TIME, WHICH BEING ONCE PAST,
MAKE ALL CAUTIONS INEFFECTUAL, AND ALL REMEDIES DESPERATE.
0138-FH/1686:013(031) OUR UNDERSTANDINGS ARE APT TO BE HURRIED ON BY THE FIRST H
EATS; WHICH IF NOT RESTRAINED IN TIME, DO NOT GIVE US LEAVE TO LOOK BACK, TILL I
T IS TOO LATE.
0139-FH/1686:014(058) CONSIDER THIS IN THE CASE OF YOUR ANGER AGAINST THE $CHURC
H OF $ENGLAND, AND TAKE WARNING BY THEIR MISTAKE IN THE SAME KIND, WHEN AFTER TH
E LATE KING'S RESTORATION, THEY PRESERVED SO LONG THE BITTER TASTE OF YOUR ROUGH
 USAGE TO THEM IN OTHER TIMES, THAT IT MADE THEM FORGET THEIR INTEREST, AND SACR
IFICE IT TO THEIR REVENGE.
0140-FH/1686:015(058) EITHER YOU WILL BLAME THIS PROCEEDING IN THEM, AND FOR THA
T REASON NOT FOLLOW IT, OR IF YOU ALLOW IT, YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE OFFENDED WI
TH THEM; SO THAT YOU MUST EITHER DISMISS YOUR ANGER, OR LOSE YOUR EXCUSE; EXCEPT
 YOU SHOULD ARGUE MORE PARTIALLY THAN WILL BE SUPPOSED OF MEN OF YOUR MORALITY A
ND UNDERSTANDING.
0141-FH/1686:016(114) IF YOU HAD NOW TO DO WITH THOSE RIGID PRELATES, WHO MADE I
T A MATTER OF CONSCIENCE TO GIVE YOU THE LEAST INDULGENCE, BUT KEPT YOU AT AN UN
CHARITABLE DISTANCE, AND EVEN TO YOUR MORE REASONABLE SCRUPLES CONTINUED STIFF A
ND INEXORABLE, THE ARGUMENT MIGHT BE FAIRER ON YOUR SIDE; BUT SINCE THE COMMON D
ANGER HATH SO LAID OPEN THAT MISTAKE, THAT ALL THE FORMER HAUGHTINESS TOWARDS YO
U IS FOR EVER EXTINGUISHED, AND THAT IT HATH TURNED THE SPIRIT OF PERSECUTION, I
NTO A SPIRIT OF PEACE, CHARITY, AND CONDESCENSION; SHALL THIS HAPPY CHANGE ONLY
AFFECT THE $CHURCH OF $ENGLAND, AND ARE YOU SO IN LOVE WITH SEPARATION, AS NOT T
O BE MOVED BY THIS EXAMPLE?
0142-FH/1686:017(038) IT OUGHT TO BE FOLLOWED, WERE THERE NO OTHER REASON THAN T
HAT IT IS A VIRTUE; BUT WHEN BESIDES THAT, IT IS BECOME NECESSARY TO YOUR PRESER
VATION, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL THE HAVING ITS EFFECT UPON YOU.
0143-FH/1686:018(074) IF IT SHOULD BE SAID, THAT THE $CHURCH OF $ENGLAND IS NEVE
R HUMBLE, BUT WHEN SHE IS OUT OF POWER, AND THEREFORE LOSETH THE RIGHT OF BEING
BELIEVED WHEN SHE PRETENDETH TO IT: THE ANSWER IS, FIRST, IT WOULD BE AN UNCHARI
TABLE OBJECTION, AND VERY MUCH MISTIMED; AN UNSEASONABLE TRIUMPH, NOT ONLY UNGEN
EROUS, BUT UNSAFE: SO THAT IN THESE RESPECTS IT CANNOT BE URGED, WITHOUT SCANDAL
, EVEN THOUGH IT COULD BE SAID WITH TRUTH.
0144-FH/1686:019(150) SECONDLY, THIS IS NOT SO IN FACT, AND THE ARGUMENT MUST FA
LL, BEING BUILT UPON A FALSE FOUNDATION; FOR WHATEVER MAY BE TOLD YOU, AT THIS V
ERY HOUR, AND IN THE HEAT AND GLARE OF YOUR PRESENT SUN=SHINE, THE $CHURCH OF $E
NGLAND CAN IN A MOMENT BRING CLOUDS AGAIN; AND TURN THE ROYAL THUNDER UPON YOUR
HEADS, BLOW YOU OFF THE STAGE WITH A BREATH, IF SHE WOULD GIVE BUT A SMILE OR A
KIND WORD; THE LEAST GLIMPSE OF HER COMPLIANCE, WOULD THROW YOU BACK INTO THE ST
ATE OF SUFFERING, AND DRAW UPON YOU ALL THE ARREARS OF SEVERITY, WHICH HAVE ACCR
UED DURING THE TIME OF THIS KINDNESS TO YOU, AND YET THE $CHURCH OF $ENGLAND, WI
TH ALL HER FAULTS, WILL NOT ALLOW HER SELF TO BE RESCUED BY SUCH UNJUSTIFIABLE M
EANS, BUT CHUSETH TO BEAR THE WEIGHT OF POWER, RATHER THAN LIE UNDER THE BURTHEN
 OF BEING CRIMINAL.
0145-FH/1686:020(025) IT CANNOT BE SAID, THAT SHE IS UNPROVOKED; BOOKS AND LETTE
RS COME OUT EVERY DAY, TO CALL FOR ANSWERS, YET SHE WILL NOT BE STIRRED.
0146-FH/1686:021(026) FROM THE SUPPOSED AUTHORS, AND THE STILE, ONE WOULD SWEAR
THEY WERE UNDERTAKERS, AND HAD MADE A CONTRACT TO FALL OUT WITH THE $CHURCH OF $
ENGLAND.
0147-FH/1686:022(078) THERE ARE LASHES IN EVERY ADDRESS, CHALLENGES TO DRAW THE
PEN IN EVERY PAMPHLET; IN SHORT, THE FAIREST OCCASIONS IN THE WORLD GIVEN TO QUA
RREL; BUT SHE WISELY DISTINGUISHETH BETWEEN THE BODY OF DISSENTERS, WHOM SHE WIL
L SUPPOSE TO ACT AS THEY DO, WITH NO ILL INTENT; AND THESE SMALL SKIRMISHERS PIC
KT AND SENT OUT TO PICQUEER, AND TO BEGIN A FRAY AMONGST THE $PROTESTANTS, FOR T
HE ENTERTAINMENT, AS WELL AS THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CHURCH OF $ROME.
0148-FH/1686:023(014) THIS CONDUCT IS SO GOOD, THAT IT WILL BE SCANDALOUS NOT TO
 APPLAUD IT.
0149-FH/1686:024(020) IT IS NOT EQUAL DEALING, TO BLAME OUR ADVERSARIES FOR DOIN
G ILL, AND NOT COMMEND THEM WHEN THEY DO WELL.
0150-FH/1686:025(054) TO HATE THEM BECAUSE THEY PERSECUTED, AND NOT TO BE RECONC
ILED TO THEM WHEN THEY ARE READY TO SUFFER, RATHER THAN RECEIVE ALL THE ADVANTAG
ES, THAT CAN BE GAINED BY A CRIMINAL COMPLIANCE, IS A PRINCIPLE NO SORT OF $CHRI
STIANS CAN OWN, SINCE IT WOULD GIVE AN OBJECTION TO THEM NEVER TO BE ANSWERED.
0151-FH/1686:026(039) THINK A LITTLE, WHO THEY WERE THAT PROMOTED YOUR FORMER PE
RSECUTIONS, AND THEN CONSIDER HOW IT WILL LOOK TO BE ANGRY WITH THE INSTRUMENTS,
 AND AT THE SAME TIME TO MAKE A LEAGUE WITH THE AUTHORS OF YOUR SUFFERINGS.
0152-FP/1686:001(020) IN THE NEXT PLACE I SHALL GIVE YOU A FAITHFUL ACCOUNT (WIT
HOUT FLATTERY) OF HIS PERSONAL QUALIFICATIONS, OPINIONS, AND LEARNING.
0153-FP/1686:002(465) AS FOR HIS OUTWARD FORM, HE WAS INDIFFERENT TALL, AND WELL
 SHAPED, AND WENT ALWAYS UPRIGHT TO THE LAST; HIS HAIR NATURALLY BROWN, WHEN YOU
NG; HIS COMPLEXION SANGUINE; HIS COUNTENANCE EXPRESSED GRAVITY, AND GOOD NATURE;
 HIS CARRIAGE FREE; A PRESENCE THAT COMMANDED BOTH RESPECT, AND REVERENCE; AND T
HOUGH MANY PICTURES HAVE BEEN MADE OF HIM, THE AIR OF HIS FACE WAS SO HARD TO HI
T, THAT I NEVER SAW BUT ONE THAT WAS LIKE HIM: HE WAS OF A STRONG AND HEALTHY CO
NSTITUTION, SO THAT HE SAID, THAT FOR THE MOST PART OF HIS LIFE, HE VERY RARELY
FELT ANY PAIN IN HIS HEAD, OR STOMACH; IN HIS YOUTH HE HAD BEEN TROUBLED WITH TH
E SCIATICA, AND SOME YEARS AFTER THAT, WITH A LONG QUARTAN AGUE, BESIDES THE FIT
 OF THE STRANGURY AND BLEEDING ABOVE MENTIONED, BUT HE NEVER HAD THE GOUT, OR ST
ONE: A LITTLE SLEEP SERVED HIS TURN; AND EVEN IN HIS LAST YEARS, THOUGH HE WENT
TO BED PRETTY LATE, YET IN THE SUMMER HE WOULD RISE BY FIVE, AND IN THE WINTER B
Y SIX OF THE CLOCK IN THE MORNING; HIS APPETITE WAS ALWAYS SUITED TO HIS DIET, H
E WOULD FEED HEARTILY ON PLAIN, WHOLESOME MEAT, WITHOUT SAUCE, AND BETTER PLEASE
D WITH A FEW DISHES, THAN WITH GREAT VARIETIES; NOR DID HE LOVE TO TASTE OF WHAT
 HE WAS NOT USED TO EAT: HE LIKED NOT TEDIOUS MEALS, IT WAS A WEARINESS TO HIM,
TO SIT LONG AT TABLE; BUT WHATEVER HE EAT, OR DRANK, WAS NEVER OFFENSIVE TO HIS
STOMACH, OR BRAIN; FOR HE NEVER EXCEEDED AT THE GREATEST FEAST; AND I HAVE HEARD
 SOME PHYSICIANS IMPUTE THE EASINESS OF HIS DIGESTION TO SOMETHING VERY PARTICUL
AR, IN THE FRAME OF HIS BODY, FOR WHEN THE CHYRURGEON HAD OPENED HIM, HE FOUND A
 THICK MEMBRANE LINED WITH FAT, WHICH (AS I SUPPOSE) WAS BUT A CONTINUATION OF T
HE OMENTUM, WHICH EXTENDED IT SELF QUITE OVER HIS STOMACH, AND WAS FASTENED ABOV
E TO THE PERITONAEUM, SOMEWHAT BELOW THE DIAPHRAGMA; SO THAT I HAVE HEARD HIM SA
Y, HE NEVER FELT HIS HEART BEAT IN THE MOST EXERCISE; AND THE CHYRURGEON SAID, T
HAT HAD IT NOT BELONGED TO THE BODY OF A PERSON OF HIS EMINENCY, WE WOULD HAVE T
AKEN IT OUT, AND PRESERVED IT, AS A RARITY WHICH HE HAD NEVER FOUND, OR HEARD OF
 IN ANY OTHER BODY BESIDES, AND THEREFORE THE QUICKNESS OF HIS DIGESTION CONSIDE
RED, IT WAS NO WONDER IF HE BRED BLOOD SO FAST AS HE DID, SO THAT HE USED TO HAV
E FREQUENT EVACUATIONS THEREOF, FROM THE VEINS ON ONE SIDE OF HIS TONGUE, BUT MO
RE USUALLY IN SOME LOWER PARTS OF HIS BODY, TO THE STOPPAGE OF WHICH (FOR SOME T
IME BEFORE HIS DEATH) MAY VERY WELL BE ASCRIBED THAT DISTEMPER WHICH WAS THE CAU
SE OF IT.
0154-FP/1686:003(030) AND HE DID SO MUCH APPROVE OF SET FORMS OF PRAYER IN PUBLI
CK, THAT HE ALWAYS KEPT HIMSELF TO ONE CONSTANT SHORT PATHETICAL PRAYER BEFORE H
IS SERMONS, WITH LITTLE ALTERATION.
0155-FP/1686:004(102) AND THOUGH THIS APOSTOLICAL PREACHER, AND PRELATE, WAS AS
MUCH ABLE AS ANY TO INSTRUCT, AND DIRECT OTHERS IN ALL MATTERS OF RELIGION, YET
WOULD HE STILL GIVE A GOOD EXAMPLE, AND OFFER HIMSELF TO BE A LEARNER, AND THOUG
H HE HAD PREACHED IN THE MORNING, YET WOULD HE RARELY MISS HIS ATTENDANCE AT THE
 PUBLICK SERVICE IN THE AFTERNOON, AND WAS OBSERVED TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DEVOUT
 AT PRAYERS, AND THE MOST ATTENTIVE HEARER OF ANY IN THE CONGREGATION; NOR WOULD
 HE ADMIT ANY DROWSINESS TO SEIZE HIM, NOR SUFFER ANY THING TO DIVERT HIM FROM T
HE PRESENT BUSINESS.
0156-FP/1686:005(031) AND AS HE USED PLAIN PREACHING HIMSELF, SO WAS HE MUCH PLE
ASED WITH A PIOUS, PRACTICAL DISCOURSE FROM OTHERS, AS IF HE HAD BEEN TO LEARN W
HAT HE NEVER KNEW BEFORE.
0157-FP/1686:006(047) HE DELIGHTED TO HEAR SIN REBUKED, AND LAID OPEN IN ALL ITS
 COLOURS, AND $CHRIST, AND HIS KINGDOM EXALTED; THIS WAS ALWAYS A PLEASANT THEME
 TO HIM, AND HE WOULD AFTERWARDS THANK, AND ENCOURAGE THE PREACHER, WHEN HE HAD
THUS PERFORMED HIS DUTY, TO DO SO STILL.
0158-FP/1686:007(019) HAVING GIVEN YOU SOME ACCOUNT OF HIS PRIVATE CONVERSATION,
 WE WILL NOW PROCEED TO THAT OF HIS MORE PUBLICK.
0159-FP/1686:008(061) I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN YOU AN IDEA OF HIS WAY OF PREACHING,
TO WHICH I SHALL ONLY ADD, THAT IN HIS DELIVERY HIS VERY VOICE, AND GESTURE WERE
 MOVING AND PERSUASIVE, YET WITHOUT ANY TONE, OR AFFECTATION; SO THAT HIS PREACH
ING WAS WITH AUTHORITY, AND NOT WITH INTICEING WORDS OF HUMANE WISDOM, BUT IN DE
MONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT, AND WITH POWER.
0160-FP/1686:009(403) HE HAD THAT FLUENCY, AND READY COMMAND OF WORDS, THAT FOR
MANY YEARS HE NEVER COMMITTED MORE TO WRITING THAN THE HEADS OF HIS SERMONS, TRU
STING THE REST (AFTER HE HAD WELL CONSIDERED WHAT TO SAY,) WHOLLY TO HIS MEMORY,
 WHICH THOUGH IT MIGHT RENDER HIS SERMONS NOT SO FIT TO BE PUBLISHED, AS WANTING
 THAT POLISHING, AND EXACTNESS OF STYLE, WHICH THOSE THAT WRITE, AND SUPERVISE T
HEIR OWN SERMONS ARE ABLE TO GIVE THEM: YET ON THE OTHER SIDE, HIS DISCOURSES HA
D THAT PATHOS, AND NATURAL VIGOR, (THE VERY SINEWS OF PERSUASION) WHICH MUST NEE
DS BE WANTING IN THOSE THAT ARE READ; NOR YET DOES ABOUND (BEING ALWAYS ATTENDED
 WITH SOME CONCERN) IN THOSE, WHO SPEAK THEIR WRITTEN SERMONS WITHOUT BOOK: AND
INDEED, CONSIDERING HOW CONSTANTLY HE PREACHED, HAD HE TIED HIMSELF UP TO THAT D
RUDGERY, HE WOULD SCARCE HAVE HAD TIME FOR ANY OTHER BUSINESS: BUT THIS MADE HIM
 NOT DESIROUS OF HAVING ANY OF HIS SERMONS PRINTED, SINCE HE WAS SUFFICIENTLY SE
NSIBLE OF THE GREAT DISADVANTAGE THEY MUST APPEAR ABROAD WITHAL, AS WELL IN RESP
ECT OF THOSE ERRORS, AND OMISSIONS, WHICH THOSE THAT TAKE SERMONS IN CHARACTERS
MUST NEEDS BE LIABLE TO; AS ALSO BECAUSE THEY WANTED HIS OWN EYE, AND CORRECTION
 TO BE ADDED TO THEM, BOTH WHICH ARE REQUISITE TO MAKE ANY DISCOURSE SO EXACT, A
ND COHERENT AS IT OUGHT TO BE: BUT TO ADD SOMETHING FARTHER OF HIS WAY, AND METH
OD IN HIS POPULAR SERMONS; AS HE WAS AN EXCELLENT TEXTUARY, SO IT WAS HIS CUSTOM
 TO RUN THROUGH ALL THE PARALLEL PLACES, THAT CONCERNED THE SUBJECT ON WHICH HE
TREATED; AND PARAPHRASE, AND ILLUSTRATE THEM AS THEY REFERRED TO EACH OTHER, AND
 THEIR PARTICULAR CONTEXTS; HE HIMSELF, AS HE PASSED ON, TURNING HIS "BIBLE" FRO
M PLACE TO PLACE, AND GIVING HIS AUDITORY TIME TO DO THE LIKE: WHEREBY AS HE REN
DER'D HIS PREACHING EXTREME EASY TO HIMSELF, SO IT BECAME NO LESS BENEFICIAL TO
HIS AUDITORS, ACQUAINTING THEM WITH THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, AND ENABLING THEM TO RE
CUR TO THE PROOFS HE CITED, BY WHICH THE MEMORY WAS VERY MUCH HELP'D, TO RECOVER
 THE SERIES OF WHAT WAS DISCOURSED UPON FROM THEM: HE NEVER CARED TO TIRE HIS AU
DITORY WITH THE LENGTH OF HIS SERMON, KNOWING WELL, THAT AS THE SATISFACTION IN
HEARING DECREASES, SO DOES THE ATTENTION ALSO, AND PEOPLE, INSTEAD OF MINDING WH
AT IS SAID, ONLY LISTEN WHEN THERE IS LIKE TO BE AN END.
0161-FP/1686:010(319) AND TO LET YOU SEE HOW STRICTLY HE ENDEAVOURED TO KEEP HIM
SELF TO THIS RULE, (THOUGH SOMETIMES TO THE GREAT REGRET OF HIS HEARERS), I SHAL
L GIVE YOU THIS ONE INSTANCE; ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE HE DIED, WHEN HE HAD LEFT OFF
PREACHING CONSTANTLY, HE WAS IMPORTUNED (BEING THEN IN $LONDON), BY THE COUNTESS
 OF $PETERBOROUGH, AND SOME OTHER PERSONS OF QUALITY, TO GIVE THEM A SERMON AT S
T $MARTIN'S CHURCH, AS WELL BECAUSE IT WAS THE PARISH WHERE HE THEN LIVED, AS TH
AT IT WAS A CHURCH WHERE HIS VOICE WOULD BE BEST HEARD OF ANY THEREABOUTS: THE L
ORD PRIMATE COMPLYED WITH THEIR DESIRES, AND PREACHED A SERMON HIGHLY SATISFACTO
RY TO HIS AUDITORY; BUT AFTER A PRETTY WHILE THE BISHOP HAPPENING TO LOOK UPON T
HE HOUR=GLASS WHICH STOOD FROM THE LIGHT, AND THROUGH THE WEAKNESS, AND DEFICIEN
CY OF HIS SIGHT MISTAKING IT TO BE OUT, WHEN INDEED IT WAS NOT, HE CONCLUDED, TE
LLING THEM, SINCE THE TIME WAS PAST, HE WOULD LEAVE THE REST HE HAD TO SAY ON TH
AT SUBJECT TO ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY (IF $GOD SHOULD PLEASE TO GRANT IT HIM) OF SPE
AKING AGAIN TO THEM IN THAT PLACE: BUT THE CONGREGATION FINDING OUT MY LORD'S MI
STAKE, AND THAT THERE WAS SOME OF THE HOUR YET TO COME; AND NOT KNOWING WHETHER
THEY MIGHT EVER HAVE THE LIKE HAPPINESS OF HEARING HIM AGAIN, MADE SIGNS TO THE
READER, TO LET HIM KNOW THAT THE GLASS BEING NOT RUN OUT, THEY EARNESTLY DESIRED
 HE WOULD MAKE AN END OF ALL HE INTENDED TO HAVE SPOKEN; WHICH THE READER PERFOR
MING, THE BISHOP RECEIVED IT VERY KINDLY; AND REASSUMING HIS DISCOURSE WHERE HE
BROKE OFF, HE CONCLUDED WITH AN EXHORTATION FULL OF HEAVENLY MATTER FOR ALMOST H
ALF AN HOUR; THE WHOLE AUDITORY BEING SO MUCH MOVED THEREWITH, THAT NONE (UNLESS
 PERHAPS SOME OF THE MEANER SORT IN THE ILES) WENT OUT OF THE CHURCH, UNTIL HE H
AD DONE HIS SERMON.
0162-FP/1686:011(063) I RELATE THIS TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT GREAT POWER THIS GOOD M
AN HAD IN THE PULPIT; AND I HAVE HEARD MANY SAY, THEY WERE NEVER WEARY OF HEARIN
G HIM, FOR BESIDES THE EXCELLENCY OF THE MATTER HE WAS UPON; HE HAD THE FACULTY
STILL TO KEEP UP THE WARMTH, AND ATTENTION OF HIS HEARERS, AND TO DISMISS THEM W
ITHAL WITH AN APPETITE.
0163-FP/1686:012(157) BUT WHILST WE NOW SPEAK OF HIS LEARNING, I HAD ALMOST OMIT
TED TO GIVE YOU SOME ACCOUNT OF THAT, OUT OF WHICH HE GAINED GREAT PART OF IT, H
IS EXCELLENT LIBRARY, CONSISTING OF NEAR 10000 VOLUMES, PRINTS, AND MANUSCRIPTS,
 ALL WHICH, HE IN THE TIME OF HIS PROSPERITY, INTENDED TO BESTOW AT HIS DEATH ON
 THE COLLEGE OF $DUBLIN, IN GRATITUDE TO THE PLACE WHERE HE RECEIVED HIS EDUCATI
ON: BUT WHEN IT PLEASED $GOD TO LAY THAT GREAT AFFLICTION UPON HIM, IN THE LOSS
OF ALL HE HAD, EXCEPT HIS BOOKS, IT IS NOT TO BE WONDERED IF HE LEFT THOSE AS A
PORTION TO HIS ONLY DAUGHTER, WHO HAD BEEN THE MOTHER OF A NUMEROUS OFF=SPRING,
AND HITHERTO HAD NOTHING FROM HIM, AND WHICH (BESIDES SOME PARCELS OF GOLD HE HA
D BY HIM, THAT HAD BEEN BEFORE PRESENTED TO HIM BY MR $SELDEN'S EXECUTORS, AND O
THER PERSONS OF QUALITY) WAS ALL HE HAD TO LEAVE HER.
0164-FP/1686:013(355) THIS LIBRARY WHICH COST THE LORD PRIMATE MANY THOUSAND POU
NDS, WAS AFTER HIS DECEASE MUCH SOUGHT FOR BY THE KING OF $DENMARK, AND CARDINAL
 $MAZARINE, AND A GOOD PRICE OFFERED FOR IT BY THEIR AGENTS HERE: BUT THE LORD P
RIMATE'S ADMINISTRATORS BEING PROHIBITED BY AN ORDER FROM THE USURPER, AND HIS C
OUNCIL, TO SELL IT TO ANY WITHOUT HIS CONSENT, IT WAS AT LAST BOUGHT BY THE SOLD
IERS, AND OFFICERS OF THE THEN ARMY IN $IRELAND, WHO OUT OF EMULATION TO THE FOR
MER NOBLE ACTION OF QUEEN $ELIZABETH'S ARMY, WERE INCITED, BY SOME MEN OF PUBLIC
K SPIRITS, TO THE LIKE PERFORMANCE, AND THEY HAD IT FOR MUCH LESS THAN WHAT IT W
AS REALLY WORTH, OR WHAT HAD BEEN OFFERED FOR IT BEFORE, BY THE AGENTS ABOVE MEN
TIONED: THEY HAD ALSO WITH IT ALL HIS MANUSCRIPTS, (WHICH WERE NOT OF HIS OWN HA
ND=WRITING), AS ALSO A CHOICE (THOUGH NOT NUMEROUS) COLLECTION OF ANCIENT COINS:
 BUT WHEN THIS LIBRARY WAS BROUGHT OVER INTO $IRELAND, THE USURPER, AND HIS SON,
 WHO THEN COMMANDED IN CHIEF THERE, WOULD NOT BESTOW IT UPON THE COLLEGE OF $DUB
LIN, LEST, PERHAPS, THE GIFT SHOULD NOT APPEAR SO CONSIDERABLE THERE, AS IT WOUL
D DO BY IT SELF; AND THEREFORE THEY GAVE OUT, THAT THEY WOULD RESERVE IT FOR A N
EW COLLEGE OR HALL, WHICH THEY SAID THEY INTENDED TO BUILD, AND ENDOW: BUT IT PR
OVED, THAT AS THOSE WERE NOT TIMES, SO WERE THEY NOT PERSONS CAPABLE OF ANY SUCH
 NOBLE, OR PIOUS WORK, SO THAT THIS LIBRARY LAY IN THE CASTLE OF $DUBLIN UNBESTO
WED, AND UNIMPLOYED ALL THE REMAINING TIME OF $CROMWELL'S USURPATION; BUT AFTER
HIS DEATH, AND DURING THAT ANARCHY, AND CONFUSION THAT FOLLOWED IT, THE ROOMS WH
ERE THIS TREASURE WAS KEPT, BEING LEFT OPEN, MANY OF THE BOOKS, AND MOST OF THE
BEST MANUSCRIPTS WERE STOLEN AWAY, OR ELSE IMBEZELED BY THOSE WHO WERE INTRUSTED
 WITH THEM; BUT AFTER HIS LATE MAJESTY'S RESTAURATION, WHEN THEY FELL TO HIS DIS
POSAL, HE GENEROUSLY BESTOWED THEM ON THE COLLEDGE, FOR WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED
 BY THEIR OWNER, WHERE THEY NOW REMAIN; AND (AS THEY ARE) MAKE UP THE GREATER PA
RT OF THAT LIBRARY.
0165-FW/1687:001(041) THUS YOU SEE THOUGH WE HAVE HAD SOME COMPARABLE TO $HOMER
FOR HEROICK POESY, AND TO $EURIPIDES FOR TRAGEDY, YET HAVE THEY DIED DISREGARDED
, AND NOTHING LEFT OF THEM, BUT THAT ONLY ONCE THERE WERE SUCH MEN AND WRITINGS
IN BEING.
0166-FW/1687:002(019) I SHALL, IN THE NEXT PLACE, SPEAK SOMETHING OF MY UNDERTAK
INGS, IN WRITING THE LIVES OF THESE RENOWNED POETS.
0167-FW/1687:003(041) TWO THINGS, I SUPPOSE, MAY BE LAID TO MY CHARGE; THE ONE I
S THE OMISSION OF SOME THAT OUGHT WITH GOOD REASON TO HAVE BEEN MENTIONED; AND T
HE OTHER, THE MENTIONING OF THOSE WHICH WITHOUT ANY INJURY MIGHT HAVE BEEN OMITT
ED.
0168-FW/1687:004(043) FOR THE FIRST, AS I HAVE BEGG'D PARDON AT THE LATTER END O
F MY BOOK FOR THEIR OMISSION, SO HAVE I PROMISED, (IF $GOD SPARE ME LIFE SO LONG
) UPON THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, OR SECOND EDITION OF THIS BOOK, TO DO THEM RIGHT.

0169-FW/1687:005(038) IN THE MEAN TIME I SHOULD THINK MY SELF MUCH BEHOLDING TO
THOSE PERSONS WHO WOULD GIVE ME ANY INTELLIGENCE HEREIN, IT BEING BEYOND THE REA
DING AND ACQUAINTANCE OF ANY ONE SINGLE PERSON TO DO IT OF HIMSELF.
0170-FW/1687:006(087) AND YET, LET ME TELL YE, THAT BY THE NAME OF POET, MANY MO
RE OF FORMER TIMES MIGHT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN THAN WHAT I HAVE NAMED, AS WELL AS
 THOSE WHICH I HAVE OMITTED THAT ARE NOW LIVING, NAMELY, SIR $WALTER_RAWLEIGH, M
R $JOHN_WEEVER, DR $HEYLIN, DR $FULLER, ETC BUT THE VOLUME GROWING AS BIG AS THE
 BOOKSELLER AT PRESENT WAS WILLING TO HAVE IT, WE SHALL RESERVE THEM TO ANOTHER
TIME, THEY HAVING ALREADY ETERNIZED THEIR NAMES BY THE NEVER DYING HISTORIES WHI
CH THEY HAVE WROTE.
0171-FW/1687:007(139) THEN FOR THE SECOND THING WHICH MAY BE OBJECTED AGAINST ME
, THAT I HAVE INSERTED SOME OF THE MEANEST RANK; I ANSWER, THAT COMPARATIVELY, I
T IS A LESS FAULT TO INSERT TWO, THAN TO OMIT ONE, MOST OF WHICH IN THEIR TIMES
WERE OF GOOD ESTEEM, THOUGH NOW GROWN OUT OF DATE, EVEN AS SOME LEARNED WORKS HA
VE BEEN AT FIRST NOT AT ALL RESPECTED, WHICH AFTERWARDS HAVE BEEN HAD IN HIGH ES
TIMATION; AS IT IS REPORTED OF SIR $WALTER_RAWLEIGH, WHO BEING PRISONER IN THE $
TOWER, EXPECTING EVERY HOUR TO BE SACRIFICED TO THE $SPANISH CRUELTY, SOME FEW D
AYS BEFORE HE SUFFERED, HE SENT FOR MR $WALTER_BURRE, WHO HAD FORMERLY PRINTED H
IS FIRST VOLUME OF "THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD", WHOM, TAKING BY THE HAND, AFTER S
OME OTHER DISCOURSE, HE ASK'D HIM, HOW THAT WORK OF HIS HAD SOLD?
0172-FW/1687:008(015) MR $BURRE RETURNED THIS ANSWER, THAT IT SOLD SO SLOWLY, TH
AT IT HAD UNDONE HIM.
0173-FW/1687:009(063) AT WHICH WORDS OF HIS, SIR $WALTER_RAWLEIGH STEPPING TO HI
S DESK, REACHES THE OTHER PART OF HIS HISTORY, TO MR $BURRE, WHICH HE HAD BROUGH
T DOWN TO THE TIMES HE LIVED IN; CLAPPING HIS HAND ON HIS BREAST, HE TOOK THE OT
HER UNPRINTED PART OF HIS WORKS INTO HIS HAND WITH A SIGH, SAYING, "AH MY FRIEND
, HATH THE FIRST PART UNDONE THEE"?
0174-FW/1687:010(034) "THE SECOND VOLUME SHALL UNDO NO MORE; THIS UNGRATEFUL WOR
LD IS UNWORTHY OF IT"; WHEN IMMEDIATELY GOING TO THE FIRE=SIDE HE THREW IT IN, A
ND SET HIS FOOT ON IT TILL IT WAS CONSUMED.
0175-FW/1687:011(021) AS GREAT A LOSS TO LEARNING AS $CHRISTENDOM COULD HAVE, OR
 OWNED; FOR HIS FIRST VOLUME AFTER HIS DEATH SOLD THOUSANDS.
0176-FW/1687:012(058) IT MAY LIKEWISE BE OBJECTED, THAT SOME OF THESE POETS HERE
 MENTIONED, HAVE BEEN MORE FAMOUS IN OTHER KIND OF STUDIES THAN IN POETRY, AND T
HEREFORE DO NOT SHINE HERE AS IN THEIR PROPER SPHERE OF FAME; BUT WHAT THEN, SHA
LL THEIR GENERAL KNOWLEDGE DEBAR THEM FROM A PARTICULAR NOTICE OF THEIR ABILITIE
S IN THIS MOST EXCELLENT ART?
0177-FW/1687:013(055) NOR HAVE WE SCARCE ANY POET EXCELLENT IN ALL ITS SPECIES T
HEREOF; SOME ADDICTING THEMSELVES MOST TO THE EPICK, SOME TO THE DRAMATICK, SOME
 TO THE LYRICK, OTHER TO THE ELEGIACK, THE EPAENITICK, THE BUCOLICK, OR THE EPIG
RAM; UNDER ONE OF WHICH ALL THE WHOLE CIRCUIT OF POETICK DESIGN IS ONE WAY OR OT
HER INCLUDED.
0178-FW/1687:014(042) SIR $THOMAS_MORE, A GREAT CREDIT AND ORNAMENT IN HIS TIME,
 OF THE $ENGLISH NATION, AND WITH WHOM THE LEARNED'ST FOREIGNERS OF THAT AGE, WE
RE PROUD TO HAVE CORRESPONDENCE, FOR HIS WIT AND EXCELLENT PARTS, WAS BORN IN $M
ILK=STREET, $LONDON, ANNO DOMINI 1480.
0179-FW/1687:015(013) SON TO SIR $JOHN_MORE, KNIGHT, AND ONE OF THE JUSTICES OF
THE $KINGS_BENCH.
0180-FW/1687:016(037) HE WAS BRED FIRST IN THE FAMILY OF ARCHBISHOP $MORTON, THE
N IN $CANTERBURY=COLLEGE IN $OXFORD; AFTERWARDS REMOVED TO AN INN OF CHANCERY IN
 $LONDON, CALLED $NEW=INN, AND FROM THENCE TO $LINCOLNS=INN; WHERE HE BECAME A D
OUBLE READER.
0181-FW/1687:017(052) NEXT, HIS WORTH PREFERRED HIM TO BE JUDGE IN THE SHERIFF O
F $LONDON'S COURT, THOUGH AT THE SAME TIME A PLEADER IN OTHERS; AND SO UPRIGHT W
AS HE THEREIN, THAT HE NEVER UNDERTOOK ANY CAUSE BUT WHAT APPEARED JUST TO HIS C
ONSCIENCE, NOR NEVER TOOK FEE OF WIDOW, ORPHAN, OR POOR PERSON.
0182-FW/1687:018(089) KING $HENRY THE EIGHTH COMING TO THE CROWN, FIRST KNIGHTED
 HIM, THEN MADE HIM CHANCELLOR OF THE DUCHY OF $LANCASTER, AND NOT LONG AFTER, L
ORD CHANCELLOR OF $ENGLAND; IN WHICH PLACE HE DEMEANED HIMSELF WITH GREAT INTEGR
ITY, AND WITH NO LESS EXPEDITION; SO THAT IT IS SAID, AT ONE TIME HE HAD CLEARED
 ALL SUITS DEPENDING ON THAT COURT: WHEREUPON, ONE THUS VERSIFIED ON HIM, <WHEN
$MORE SOME YEARS HAD CHANCELLOR BEEN, NO MORE SUITS DID REMAIN; THE SAME SHALL N
EVER MORE BE SEEN, TILL $MORE BE THERE AGAIN>.
0183-FW/1687:019(146) HE WAS OF SUCH EXCELLENCY OF WIT AND WISDOM, THAT HE WAS A
BLE TO MAKE HIS FORTUNE GOOD IN WHATSOEVER HE UNDERTOOK: AND TO THIS PURPOSE IT
IS REPORTED OF HIM, THAT WHEN HE WAS SENT AMBASSADOR BY HIS MASTER $HENRY THE EI
GHTH INTO $GERMANY, BEFORE HE DELIVER'D HIS EMBASSAGE TO THE EMPEROR, HE BID ONE
 OF HIS SERVANTS TO FILL HIM A BEER=GLASS OF WINE, WHICH HE DRUNK OFF TWICE; COM
MANDING HIS SERVANT TO BRING HIM A THIRD; HE KNOWING SIR $THOMAS_MORE'S TEMPERAN
CE, THAT HE WAS NOT USED TO DRINK, AT FIRST REFUSED TO FILL HIM ANOTHER; TELLING
 SIR $THOMAS OF THE WEIGHT OF HIS EMPLOYMENT: BUT HE COMMANDING IT, AND HIS SERV
ANT NOT DARING TO DENY HIM, HE DRANK OFF THE THIRD, AND THEN MADE HIS IMMEDIATE
ADDRESS TO THE EMPEROR, AND SPAKE HIS ORATION IN $LATINE, TO THE ADMIRATION OF A
LL THE AUDITORS.
0184-FW/1687:020(049) AFTERWARDS SIR $THOMAS MERRILY ASKING HIS MAN WHAT HE THOU
GHT OF HIS SPEECH, HE SAID, THAT HE DESERVED TO GOVERN THREE PARTS OF THE WORLD,
 AND HE BELIEVED IF HE HAD DRUNK THE OTHER GLASS, THE ELEGANCY OF HIS LANGUAGE M
IGHT HAVE PURCHASED THE OTHER PART OF THE WORLD.
0185-FW/1687:021(029) BEING ONCE AT $BRUGES IN $FLANDERS, AN ARROGANT FELLOW HAD
 SET UP A THESIS, THAT HE WOULD ANSWER ANY QUESTION COULD BE PROPOUNDED UNTO HIM
 IN WHAT ART SOEVER.
0186-FW/1687:022(027) OF WHOM, WHEN SIR $THOMAS_MORE HEARD, HE LAUGHED, AND MADE
 THIS QUESTION TO BE PUT UP FOR HIM TO ANSWER; WHETHER <AVERIA CAPTA IN $WITHERN
AMIA SUNT IRREPLEGIBILIA>?
0187-FW/1687:023(012) ADDING, THAT THERE WAS AN $ENGLISHMAN THAT WOULD DISPUTE T
HEREOF WITH HIM.
0188-FW/1687:024(033) THIS BRAGGING $THRASO, NOT SO MUCH AS UNDERSTANDING THE TE
RMS OF OUR COMMON LAW, KNEW NOT WHAT TO ANSWER TO IT, AND SO BECAME RIDICULOUS T
O THE WHOLE CITY FOR HIS PRESUMPTUOUS BRAGGING.
0189-FW/1687:025(136) MANY WERE THE BOOKS WHICH HE WROTE; AMONGST WHOM HIS "$UTO
PIA" BEARETH THE BELL; WHICH THOUGH NOT WRITTEN IN VERSE, YET IN REGARD OF THE G
REAT FANCY AND INVENTION THEREOF, MAY WELL PASS FOR A POEM, IT BEING THE IDEA OF
 A COMPLEAT COMMONWEALTH IN AN IMAGINARY ISLAND (BUT PRETENDED TO BE LATELY DISC
OVERED IN $AMERICA) AND THAT SO LIVELY COUNTERFEITED, THAT MANY AT THE READING T
HEREOF, MISTOOK IT FOR A REAL TRUTH: INSOMUCH THAT MANY GREAT LEARNED MEN, AS $B
UDEUS, AND $JOHANNES_PALUDANUS, UPON A FERVENT ZEAL, WISHED THAT SOME EXCELLENT
DIVINES MIGHT BE SENT THITHER TO PREACH $CHRIST'S GOSPEL: YEA, THERE WERE HERE A
MONGST US AT HOME, SUNDRY GOOD MEN, AND LEARNED DIVINES, VERY DESIROUS TO UNDERT
AKE THE VOYAGE, TO BRING THE PEOPLE TO THE FAITH OF $CHRIST, WHOSE MANNERS THEY
DID SO WELL LIKE.
0190-FW/1687:026(048) BUT AT LAST HE FELL INTO THE KING'S DISPLEASURE, TOUCHING
THE DIVORCE OF QUEEN $KATHERINE, AND FOR REFUSING TO TAKE THE OATH OF SUPREMACY;
 FOR WHICH HE WAS COMMITTED TO THE $TOWER, AND AFTERWARDS BEHEADED ON $TOWER=HIL
L, $JULY 6, 1635, AND BURIED AT $CHELSEY UNDER A PLAIN MONUMENT.
0191-FW/1687:027(028) THOSE WHO DESIRE TO BE FURTHER INFORMED OF THIS LEARNED KN
IGHT, LET THEM READ MY BOOK OF "$ENGLAND'S WORTHIES", WHERE HIS LIFE IS SET FORT
H MORE AT LARGE.
0192-FW/1687:028(042) THIS RENOWNED POET, WHOSE FAME SURMOUNTS ALL THE ELOGIES W
HICH THE MOST LEARNED PEN CAN BESTOW UPON HIM, WAS BORN IN THE CITY OF $WESTMINS
TER, HIS MOTHER LIVING THERE IN $HARTS=HORN=LANE, NEAR $CHARING=CROSS, WHERE SHE
 MARRIED A BRICKLAYER FOR HER SECOND HUSBAND.
0193-FW/1687:029(028) HE WAS FIRST BRED IN A PRIVATE SCHOOL IN ST $MARTIN'S=CHUR
CH, THEN IN $WESTMINSTER=SCHOOL, UNDER THE LEARNED MR $CAMBDEN, AS HE HIMSELF IN
TIMATES IN ONE OF HIS EPIGRAMS.
0194-FW/1687:030(107) UNDER THIS LEARNED SCHOOL MASTER HE ATTAINED TO A GOOD DEG
REE OF LEARNING, AND WAS STATUTABLY ADMITTED IN ST $JOHN'S=COLLEDGE IN $CAMBRIDG
E, (AS MANY YEARS AFTER INCORPORATED A HONORARY MEMBER OF $CHRIST=CHURCH IN $OXF
ORD) HERE HE STAID BUT SOME SMALL TIME, FOR WANT OF MAINTAINANCE; FOR IF THERE B
E NO OIL IN THE LAMP, IT WILL SOON BE EXTINGUISH'D: AND NOW, AS IF HE HAD QUITE
LAID ASIDE ALL THOUGHTS OF THE UNIVERSITY, HE BETOOK HIMSELF TO THE TRADE OF HIS
 FATHER=IN=LAW; AND LET NOT ANY BE OFFENDED HEREWITH, SINCE IT IS MORE COMMENDAB
LE TO WORK IN A LAWFUL CALLING, THAN HAVING ONE NOT TO USE IT.
0195-FW/1687:031(040) HE WAS ONE WHO HELPED IN THE BUILDING OF THE NEW STRUCTURE
 OF $LINCOLNS=INN, WHERE, HAVING A TROWEL IN HIS HAND, HE HAD A BOOK IN HIS POCK
ET, THAT AS HIS WORK WENT FORWARD, SO HIS STUDY WENT NOT BACKWARD.
0196-FW/1687:032(049) BUT SUCH RARE PARTS AS HE HAD COULD BE NO MORE HID, THAN T
HE SUN IN A SERENE DAY, SOME GENTLEMEN PITYING SUCH RARE ENDOWMENTS SHOULD BE BU
RIED UNDER THE RUBBISH OF SO MEAN A CALLING, DID BY THEIR BOUNTY MANUMISE HIM FR
EELY TO FOLLOW HIS OWN INGENIOUS INCLINATIONS.
0197-FW/1687:033(064) INDEED HIS PARTS WERE NOT SO READY TO RUN OF THEMSELVES, A
S ABLE TO ANSWER THE SPUR; SO THAT IT MAY BE TRULY SAID OF HIM, THAT HE HAD AN E
LABORATE WIT WROUGHT OUT BY HIS OWN INDUSTRY; YET WERE HIS REPARTEES FOR THE MOS
T PART VERY QUICK AND SMART, AND WHICH FAVOUR'D MUCH OF INGENUITY, OF WHICH I SH
ALL GIVE YOU TWO INSTANCES.
0198-FW/1687:034(066) HE HAVING BEEN DRINKING IN AN UPPER ROOM, AT THE $FEATHERS
=TAVERN IN $CHEAP=SIDE, AS HE WAS COMING DOWN STAIRS, HIS FOOT SLIPPING, HE CAUG
HT A FALL, AND TUMBLING AGAINST A DOOR, BEAT IT OPEN INTO A ROOM WHERE SOME GENT
LEMEN WERE DRINKING $CANARY; RECOVERING HIS FEET, HE SAID, "GENTLEMEN, SINCE I A
M SO LUCKILY FALLEN INTO YOUR COMPANY, I WILL DRINK WITH YOU BEFORE I GO".
0199-FW/1687:035(061) HE USED VERY MUCH TO FREQUENT THE $HALF=MOON=TAVERN IN $AL
DERSGATE=STREET, THROUGH WHICH WAS A COMMON THOROUGH FARE; HE COMING LATE THAT W
AY, ONE NIGHT, WAS DENIED PASSAGE, WHEREUPON GOING THROUGH THE $SUN=TAVERN A LIT
TLE AFTER, HE SAID, <SINCE THAT THE $MOON WAS SO UNKIND TO MAKE ME GO ABOUT, THE
 $SUN HENCEFORTH SHALL TAKE MY COIN, THE $MOON SHALL GO WITHOUT>.
0200-FW/1687:036(033) HIS CONSTANT HUMOUR WAS TO SIT SILENT IN LEARNED COMPANY,
AND SUCK IN (BESIDES WINE) THEIR SEVERAL HUMOURS INTO HIS OBSERVATION; WHAT WAS
ORE IN OTHERS, HE WAS ABLE TO REFINE UNTO HIMSELF.
0201-FW/1687:037(056) HE WAS ONE, AND THE CHIEF ON THEM, IN USHERING FORTH THE B
OOK OF "$CORIATS CRUDITIES", WRITING NOT ONLY A CHARACTER OF THE AUTHOR, AN EXPL
ANATION OF HIS FRONTISPIECE, BUT ALSO AN ACROSTICK UPON HIS NAME, WHICH FOR THE
SUITABLENESS OF IT, (THO' WE HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING OF OTHERS MOCK VERSES) WE SH
ALL HERE INSERT IT.
0202-FW/1687:038(074) HE WAS PARAMOUNT IN THE DRAMATICK PART OF POETRY, AND TAUG
HT THE STAGE AN EXACT CONFORMITY TO THE LAWS OF COMEDIANS, BEING ACCOUNTED THE M
OST LEARNED, JUDICIOUS, AND CORRECT OF THEM ALL; AND THE MORE TO BE ADMIRED FOR
BEING SO, FOR THAT NEITHER THE HEIGHT OF NATURAL PARTS, FOR HE WAS NO $SHAKESPEA
R, NOR THE COST OF EXTRAORDINARY EDUCATION, BUT HIS OWN PROPER INDUSTRY, AND ADD
ICTION TO BOOKS, ADVANCED HIM TO THIS PERFECTION.
0203-FW/1687:039(016) HE WROTE FIFTY PLAYS IN ALL, WHEREOF FIFTEEN COMEDIES, THR
EE TRAGEDIES, THE REST MASQUES AND ENTERTAINMENTS.
0204-FW/1687:040(055) THESE HIS PLAYS WERE ABOVE THE VULGAR CAPACITY, (WHICH ARE
 ONLY TICKLED WITH DOWN=RIGHT OBSCENITY) AND TOOK NOT SO WELL AT THE FIRST STROK
E, AS AT THE REBOUND, WHEN BEHELD THE SECOND TIME, YEA, THEY WILL ENDURE READING
, AND THAT WITH DUE COMMENDATION, SO LONG AS EITHER INGENUITY OR LEARNING ARE FA
SHIONABLE IN OUR NATION.
0205-FW/1687:041(079) AND ALTHOUGH ALL HIS PLAYS MAY ENDURE THE TEST, YET IN THR
EE OF HIS COMEDIES, NAMELY, "THE FOX", "ALCHYMIST", AND "SILENT WOMAN", HE MAY B
E COMPARED IN THE JUDGMENT OF THE LEARNED MEN, FOR DECORUM, LANGUAGE AND WELL=HU
MOURING PARTS, AS WELL WITH THE CHIEF OF THE ANCIENT $GREEK AND $LATIN COMEDIANS
, AS THE PRIME OF MODERN $ITALIANS, WHO HAVE BEEN JUDGED THE BEST OF $EUROPE FOR
 A HAPPY VEIN IN COMEDIES; NOR IS HIS "$BARTHOLOMEW=FAIR" MUCH SHORT OF THEM.
0206-FW/1687:042(063) AS FOR HIS OTHER COMEDIES, "STAPLE OF NEWS", "DEVIL'S AN A
SS", AND THE REST, IF THEY BE NOT SO SPRIGHTFUL AND VIGOROUS AS HIS FIRST PIECES
, ALL THAT ARE OLD WILL, AND ALL THAT DESIRE TO BE OLD, SHOULD EXCUSE HIM THEREI
N; AND THEREFORE LET THE NAME OF $BEN_JOHNSON SHIELD THEM AGAINST WHOEVER SHALL
THINK FIT TO BE SEVERE IN CENSURE AGAINST THEM.
0207-FW/1687:043(082) TRUTH IS, HIS TRAGEDIES, "$SEIANUS" AND "$CATELINE" SEEM T
O HAVE IN THEM MORE OF AN ARTIFICIAL AND INFLATE, THAN OF A PATHETICAL AND NATUR
ALLY TRAGICK HEIGHT; YET DO THEY EVERY ONE OF THEM FAR EXCEL ANY OF THE $ENGLISH
 ONES THAT WERE WRIT BEFORE HIM; SO THAT HE MAY BE TRULY SAID TO BE THE FIRST RE
FORMER OF THE $ENGLISH STAGE, AS HE HIMSELF MORE TRULY THAN MODESTLY WRITES IN H
IM COMMENDATORY VERSES OF HIS SERVANTS $RICHARD_BROOM'S COMEDY OF THE "NORTHERN
LASS".
0208-FW/1687:044(040) IN THE REST OF HIS POETRY, (FOR HE IS NOT WHOLLY DRAMATICK
) AS HIS "UNDERWOODS", "EPIGRAMS", ETC HE IS SOMETIMES BOLD AND STRENUOUS, SOMET
IMES MAGISTERIAL, SOMETIMES LEPID AND FULL ENOUGH OF CONCEIT, AND SOMETIMES A MA
N AS OTHER MEN ARE.
0209-FW/1687:045(042) IT SEEMS THE ISSUE OF HIS BRAIN WAS MORE LIVELY AND LASTIN
G THAN THE ISSUE OF HIS BODY, HAVING SEVERAL CHILDREN, YET NONE LIVING TO SURVIV
E HIM; THIS HE BESTOWED AS PART AS AN EPITAPH ON HIS ELDEST SON, DYING AN INFANT
.
0210-FW/1687:046(048) BUT THO' THE IMMORTAL MEMORY STILL LIVES OF HIM IN HIS LEA
RNED WORKS, YET HIS BODY, SUBJECT TO MORTALITY, LEFT THIS LIFE, ANNO 1638, AND W
AS BURIED ABOUT THE BELFREY IN THE ABBEY=CHURCH AT $WESTMINSTER, HAVING ONLY UPO
N A PAVEMENT OVER HIS GRAVE, THIS WRITTEN: <O RARE $BEN_JOHNSON>.
0211-FW/1687:047(033) YET WERE NOT THE POETS THEN SO DULL AND DRY, BUT THAT MANY
 EXPRESSED THEIR AFFECTION TO HIS MEMORY IN ELEGIES AND EPITAPHS; AMONGST WHICH
THIS FOLLOWING MAY NOT BE ESTEEMED THE WORST.
0212-EN/1690:001(036) TO INSTANCE ONE MORE, ANOTHER VERY PROPER CAUSE WHY A $CHR
ISTIAN SHOULD MOURN, IS THE CONSIDERATION OF THE UNCERTAINTY OF OUR SALVATION, A
ND THE INFINITE MISERY OF THOSE WHO SHALL MISCARRY IN SO MOMENTOUS A CONCERN.
0213-EN/1690:002(017) AS TO THE CERTAINTY OF OUR SALVATION, 'TIS NOT SO GREAT AS
 SOME ARE APT TO IMAGINE.
0214-EN/1690:003(056) FOR THO I CAN BE ASSURED OF THIS PROPOSITION WITH A CERTAI
NTY OF DIVINE FAITH, IT BEING MATTER OF EXPRESS REVELATION, THAT THE FAITHFUL AN
D THE PENITENT SHALL BE SAVED; YET THAT I BELIEVE AND REPENT, CAN BE KNOWN TO ME
 ONLY ON THE GROUNDS OF EXPERIMENTAL KNOWLEDGE, WHICH IS AN HUMAN, AND THEREFORE
 FALLIBLE TESTIMONY.
0215-EN/1690:004(049) AND CONSEQUENTLY THE CONCLUSION ALWAYS FOLLOWING THE WEAKE
R PART, I CANNOT BE ASSURED OF MY SALVATION WITH A CERTAINTY OF DIVINE FAITH, BU
T ONLY WITH AN HUMAN AND MORAL ASSURANCE, WHICH INDEED, TO CALL IT BY A RIGHT NA
ME, IS NO MORE THAN AN HIGH PROBABILITY, A STRONG PRESUMPTION.
0216-EN/1690:005(030) BUT YET IF EVEN THIS MORAL ASSURANCE WERE ABSOLUTE AND IRR
EVERSIBLE, AND WERE TO TAKE IN THE FUTURE AS WELL AS THE PRESENT, 'TWERE YET A C
ONSIDERABLE STAY AND SECURITY.
0217-EN/1690:006(007) BUT IT IS NOT SO WITH US.
0218-EN/1690:007(058) THAT ASSURANCE WHICH WE HAVE IS ABSOLUTE ONLY FOR THE PRES
ENT, AND REACHES NOT THE FUTURE BUT ONLY UPON CONDITION, SUPPOSING THAT WE PERSE
VERE IN THE PRESENT DISPOSITION, WHICH CONSIDERING THE MUTABILITY OF OUR WILLS,
AND THE MULTITUDE OF OUR TEMPTATIONS, AND THE FREQUENT EXAMPLES OF APOSTACY, IS
A THING NOT ONLY OF UNCERTAIN, BUT OF HAZARDOUS CONSEQUENCE.
0219-EN/1690:008(031) AND AS WE ARE NOT, CANNOT BE ABSOLUTELY SURE THAT WE SHALL
 NOT MISCARRY, SO ON THE OTHER HAND 'TIS MOST CERTAIN THAT WE SHALL BE UNSPEAKAB
LY MISERABLE IF WE DO.
0220-EN/1690:009(034) FOR A MAN TO FALL OFF FROM HIS LAST END AND ONLY TRUE GOOD
, WITHOUT ANY HOPES OR POSSIBILITY OF RECOVERY, IS A THING THAT CAN HARDLY BE TH
OUGHT OF WITHOUT CONFUSION AND AMAZEMENT.
0221-EN/1690:010(074) NOW LET A MAN PUT THESE TWO THINGS TOGETHER, THAT WHETHER
HE SHALL BE SAVED OR NO, IS A MATTER OF A DEPENDING AND UNCERTAIN ISSUE; AND THA
T IF HE MISCARRY, HIS CASE IS INTOLERABLE; AND THEN TELL ME WHETHER THIS BE NOT
A JUST CAUSE FOR TROUBLE AND SADNESS, AND WHETHER THIS SALVATION, THIS UNCERTAIN
 SALVATION BE NOT TO BE WROUGHT OUT WITH SORROW AND MOURNING AS WELL AS WITH FEA
R AND TREMBLING?
0222-EN/1690:011(034) CERTAINLY IT IS, AND WERE IT NOT FOR THIS, 'TWOULD BE NO E
ASY THING TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT, WHY GRAVITY, SERIOUSNESS AND SOBRIETY OF SPIRIT SH
OULD BE SUCH DECENT AND COMMENDABLE QUALITIES IN MEN.
0223-EN/1690:012(035) FOR OTHERWISE, WHY SHOULD NOT A MAN GIVE HIMSELF UP TO THE
 UTMOST GAIETY AND JOLLITY, AND EXPRESS IT IN ALL MANNER OF ODD POSTURES AND GES
TURES UP TO THE HEIGHT OF AN ANTICK DISSOLUTENESS?
0224-EN/1690:013(075) I SAY, WHY SHOULD NOT A MAN DO THIS, BUT ONLY BECAUSE THIS
 IS NOT AGREEABLE TO THE PART HE IS TO ACT, WHO BEING IN A STATE OF PROBATION AN
D DOUBTFULNESS, AND HAVING SO GREAT AN INTEREST DEPENDING, OUGHT RATHER TO TEMPE
R AND CORRECT THE LUXURIANCY OF HIS SPIRIT, WITH SOME GRAINS OF SADNESS AND PENS
IVENESS, AND BEWARE OF LAUGHING TOO MUCH HERE, LEST IT SHOULD BE HIS TURN TO WEE
P AND MOURN HEREAFTER.
0225-EN/1690:014(062) THESE ARE THE PRINCIPAL CAUSES OF MOURNING, AND FROM HENCE
 WE MAY GATHER, WHO THE $CHRISTIAN MOURNERS ARE, WHO ARE CONCERNED IN THIS BEATI
TUDE; THOSE NAMELY, WHOSE MOURNING PROCEEDS UPON THESE OR SUCH LIKE GROUNDS, WHI
CH ARE AT LAST REDUCIBLE TO EITHER OF THESE TWO PRINCIPLES, ZEAL FOR THE HONOUR
AND GLORY OF $GOD, OR A CONCERN FOR THE GOOD OF MANKIND.
0226-EN/1690:015(014) THEY WHO MOURN UPON THE SCORE OF PIETY OR CHARITY ARE TRUE
 $CHRISTIAN MOURNERS.
0227-FK/1691:001(040) IN 1666, 67, 68, AND PART OF 69, DR $FELL WAS INVESTED WIT
H THE OFFICE OF VICECHANCELLOR, IN WHICH BEING SETTLED, HIS FIRST CARE WAS TO MA
KE ALL DEGREES GO IN CAPS, AND IN PUBLIC ASSEMBLIES TO APPEAR IN HOODS.
0228-FK/1691:002(047) HE ALSO REDUCED THE CAPS AND GOWNS WORN BY ALL DEGREES, TO
 THEIR FORMER SIZE OR MAKE, AND ORDERED ALL CAP=MAKERS AND TAILORS TO MAKE THEM
SO; WHICH FOR SEVERAL YEARS AFTER WERE DULY OBSERVED, BUT NOW, ESPECIALLY AS TO
GOWNS, AN EQUAL STRICTNESS IS NOT OBSERVED.
0229-FK/1691:003(068) HIS NEXT CARE WAS TO LOOK NARROWLY TOWARDS THE PERFORMANCE
 OF PUBLIC EXERCISE IN THE SCHOOLS, AND TO REFORM SEVERAL ABUSES IN THEM; AND BE
CAUSE COURSING IN THE TIME OF $LENT, THAT IS THE ENDEAVOURS ON ONE PARTY TO RUN
DOWN AND CONFUTE ANOTHER IN DISPUTATION, DID COMMONLY END IN BLOWS, AND DOMESTIC
 QUARRELS (THE REFUGE OF THE VANQUISH'D SIDE) HE DID BY HIS AUTHORITY ANNUL THAT
 CUSTOM.
0230-FK/1691:004(049) SINCE THAT TIME AS THOSE PUBLIC DISTURBANCES, WHICH WERE T
HE SCANDAL OF THE UNIVERSITY, DID CEASE; SO LIKEWISE THAT VEHEMENCE AND EAGERNES
S IN DISPUTATIONS WHICH WAS INCREAS'D BY THOSE INTESTINE BROILS HAVING LOST THE
INCENTIVES OF MALICE, FEUDS AND CONTENTIONS DID IN GREAT MEASURE ABATE, AND AT L
ENGTH FALL.
0231-FK/1691:005(048) HOWEVER DR $FELL, THAT HE MIGHT AS MUCH AS POSSIBLY SUPPOR
T THE EXERCISES OF THE UNIVERSITY, DID FREQUENT EXAMINATIONS FOR DEGREES, HOLD T
HE EXAMINERS UP TO IT, AND IF THEY WOULD, OR COULD, NOT DO THEIR DUTY, HE WOULD
DO IT HIMSELF, TO THE PULLING DOWN OF MANY.
0232-FK/1691:006(067) HE DID ALSO SOMETIMES REPAIR TO THE ORDINARIES (COMMONLY C
ALLED WALL LECTURES FROM THE PAUCITY OF AUDITORS) AND WAS FREQUENTLY PRESENT AT
THOSE EXERCISES CALLED DISPUTATIONS IN $AUSTINS, WHERE HE WOULD MAKE THE DISPUTA
NTS BEGIN PRECISELY AT ONE, AND CONTINUE DISPUTING TILL 3 OF THE CLOCK IN THE AF
TERNOON; SO THAT UPON HIS APPEARANCE MORE AUDITORS WERE THEN PRESENT, THAN SINCE
 HAVE USUALLY APPEARED AT THOSE EXERCISES.
0233-FK/1691:007(125) IT WAS HIS ENDEAVOUR BEFORE, AND WHILE, HE WAS VICECHANCEL
LOR, AS ALSO THE ENDEAVOURS OF SOME OF HIS FRIENDS AND FELLOW=SUFFERERS, TO REDU
CE THE UNIVERSITY TO THAT MANNER AND FORM, AS TO PREACHING, DISPUTING, DISCIPLIN
E, OPINION, ETC AS 'TWAS WHILE DR $LAUD WAS CHANCELLOR THEREOF; BUT BECAUSE OF T
HE TWENTY YEARS INTERVAL, WHEREIN A MOST STRANGE LIBERTY, LOOSNESS IN MANNERS AN
D RELIGION HAD TAKEN PLACE, THEY COULD NOT DO IT; AND I REMEMBER THAT MANY MADE
IT A RIDICULOUS THING, THAT HE AND THEY SHOULD IN THE LEAST THINK OF SUCH A MATT
ER, WHICH A WHOLE AGE COULD NOT DO, NOR THAT ALSO, UNLESS A SUCCESSION OF GOOD K
INGS CAME, THAT SHOULD BE OF THE SAME MIND AND OPINION WITH $CHARLES_1 OF EVER B
LESSED MEMORY.
0234-FK/1691:008(037) HE WAS A MOST EXCELLENT DISCIPLINARIAN, KEPT UP THE EXERCI
SE OF HIS HOUSE SEVERELY, WAS ADMIRABLE IN TRAINING UP YOUTH OF NOBLE EXTRACTION
, HAD A FACULTY IN IT PECULIAR TO HIM, AND WAS MUCH DELIGHTED IN IT.
0235-FK/1691:009(035) HE WOULD CONSTANTLY ON SEVERAL MORNINGS IN THE WEEK TAKE H
IS ROUNDS IN HIS COLLEGE, GO TO THE CHAMBERS OF NOBLEMEN AND GENTLEMEN COMMONERS
, AND EXAMINE AND SEE WHAT PROGRESS THEY MADE IN THEIR STUDIES.
0236-FK/1691:010(023) HE CONSTANTLY FREQUENTED DIVINE SERVICE IN PUBLIC FOUR TIM
ES IN A DAY, AND HAD, BESIDES, PRAYERS TWICE EVERY DAY IN HIS OWN FAMILY.
0237-FK/1691:011(033) HE WAS THE MOST ZEALOUS MAN OF HIS TIME FOR THE $CHURCH OF
 $ENGLAND, AND NONE, THAT I YET KNOW OF, DID GO BEYOND HIM, IN THE PERFORMANCE O
F THE RULES BELONGING THEREUNTO.
0238-FK/1691:012(113) HE WAS A GREAT ENCOURAGER AND PROMOTER OF LEARNING IN THE
UNIVERSITY, AND OF ALL PUBLIC WORKS BELONGING THEREUNTO, WITNESS NOT ONLY THE ED
IFICES BEFORE=MENTIONED, BUT HIS SOLICITATION FOR THE BUILDING OF THE PUBLIC THE
ATRE, TO THE END THAT THE HOUSE OF $GOD MIGHT BE KEPT FREE FOR ITS OWN USE: HE L
IKEWISE ADVANCED THE LEARNED PRESS, AND IMPROV'D THE MANUFACTURE OF PRINTING IN
$OXFORD IN SUCH MANNER AS IT HAD BEEN DESIGNED BEFORE BY THAT PUBLIC=SPIRITED PE
RSON DR $LAUD ARCHBISHOP OF $CANTERBURY; AND CERTAINLY IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BY HIM
 EFFECTED, AS OTHER MATTERS OF GREATER CONCERN RELATING TO RELIGION AND LEARNING
, HAD NOT THE INIQUITY OF THE RESTLESS $PRESBYTERIANS PREVENTED HIM.
0239-FK/1691:013(036) HE WAS ALSO A PERSON OF A MOST GENEROUS SPIRIT, UNDERVALUE
D MONEY, AND DISBURS'D IT SO FREELY UPON LEARNED, PIOUS AND CHARITABLE USES, THA
T HE LEFT SOMETIMES FOR HIMSELF AND HIS PRIVATE USE LITTLE OR NOTHING.
0240-FK/1691:014(044) HE WAS AN EAGER DEFENDER AND MAINTAINER OF THE UNIVERSITY
AND ITS PRIVILEGES (ESPECIALLY WHILE HE EXECUTED THE OFFICE OF VICECHANCELLOR) A
GAINST THE OPPUGNERS OF THEM, AND ALWAYS ENDEAVOUR'D TO ADVANCE ITS LIBERTIES; F
OR WHICH HE OFTEN GAINED THE ILL OPINIONS OF THE CITIZENS.
0241-FK/1691:015(043) HE WAS A BOLD AND RESOLUTE MAN, AND DID NOT VALUE WHAT THE
 GENERALITY SAID OR THOUGHT OF HIM SO THAT HE COULD ACCOMPLISH HIS JUST AND GENE
ROUS DESIGNS: WHICH BEING TOO MANY TO EFFECT, WAS THE CHIEF REASON OF SHORTNING
HIS DAYS.
0242-FK/1691:016(026) HIS CHARITY WAS SO GREAT THAT HE WAS A HUSBAND TO THE AFFL
ICTED WIDOW, A FATHER TO THE ORPHAN, AND A TENDER PARENT TO POOR CHILDREN.
0243-FK/1691:017(045) HE CONSTANTLY ALLOWED AN YEARLY PENSION TO A POOR MAN OF S
T $THOMAS'S PARISH IN THE SUBURBS OF $OXON, PURPOSELY THAT HE SHOULD TEACH GRATI
S 20 OR 24 POOR CHILDREN OF THAT PARISH TO READ; SOME OF WHICH HE AFTERWARDS BOU
ND APPRENTICES OR MADE SCHOLARS.
0244-FK/1691:018(030) HE WAS A PERSON OF GREAT MORALS AND VIRTUES, SPENT HIS TIM
E IN CELIBACY, AND WAS NEVER KNOWN TO BE AN ADMIRER OF WOMEN, UNLESS IT WERE FOR
 THEIR VIRTUES.
0245-FX/1691:001(025) A PERSON WHOSE WRITINGS HAVE MADE HIM REMARKABLE TO ALL SO
RTS OF MEN, AS BEING FOR A LONG TIME MUCH READ, AND IN GREAT VOGUE.
0246-FX/1691:002(038) IT IS NO WONDER THAT THE CHARACTERS GIVEN OF HIM, BY SUCH
AS ARE, OR WOULD BE THOUGHT WITS, ARE VARIOUS; SINCE EVEN THOSE, WHO ARE GENERAL
LY ALLOW'D TO BE SUCH, ARE NOT YET AGREED IN THEIR VERDICTS.
0247-FX/1691:003(059) AND AS THEIR JUDGMENTS ARE DIFFERENT, AS TO HIS WRITINGS;
SO ARE THEIR CENSURES NO LESS REPUGNANT TO THE MANAGERY OF HIS LIFE, SOME EXCUSI
NG WHAT THESE CONDEMN, AND SOME EXPLODING WHAT THOSE COMMEND: SO THAT WE CAN SCA
RCE FIND THEM AGREED IN ANY ONE THING, SAVE THIS, THAT HE WAS POET LAUREAT AND H
ISTORIOGRAPHER TO HIS LATE MAJESTY.
0248-FX/1691:004(060) FOR THIS, AND OTHER REASONS, I SHALL WAIVE ALL PARTICULARI
TIES OF HIS LIFE; AND LET PASS THE HISTORIOGRAPHER, THAT I MAY KEEP THE CLOSER T
O THE POET, TOWARD WHOM I SHALL USE MY ACCUSTOM'D FREEDOM; AND HAVING SPOKEN MY
SENTIMENTS OF HIS PREDECESSOR'S WRITINGS, SHALL VENTURE WITHOUT PARTIALITY, TO E
XERCISE MY SLENDER JUDGMENT IN GIVING A CENSURE OF HIS WORKS.
0249-FX/1691:005(055) MR $DRYDEN IS THE MOST VOLUMINOUS DRAMATICK WRITER OF OUR
AGE, HE HAVING ALREADY EXTANT ABOVE TWENTY PLAYS OF HIS OWN WRITING, AS THE TITL
E=PAGE OF EACH WOULD PERSWADE THE WORLD; THO' SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SO BOLD AS T
O CALL THE TRUTH OF THIS IN QUESTION, AND TO PROPAGATE IN THE WORLD ANOTHER OPIN
ION.
0250-FX/1691:006(026) HIS GENIUS SEEMS TO ME TO INCLINE TO TRAGEDY AND SATIRE, R
ATHER THAN COMEDY: AND METHINKS HE WRITES MUCH BETTER IN HEROICKS, THAN IN BLANK
 VERSE.
0251-FX/1691:007(040) HIS VERY ENEMIES MUST GRANT THAT THERE HIS NUMBERS ARE SWE
ET, AND FLOWING; THAT HE HAS WITH SUCCESS PRACTIC'D THE NEW WAY OF VERSIFYING IN
TRODUC'D BY HIS PREDECESSOR MR $WALLER, AND FOLLOW'D SINCE WITH SUCCESS, BY SIR
$JOHN_DENHAM, AND OTHERS.
0252-FX/1691:008(104) BUT FOR COMEDY, HE IS FOR THE MOST PART BEHOLDING TO $FREN
CH ROMANCES AND PLAYS, NOT ONLY FOR HIS PLOTS, BUT EVEN A GREAT PART OF HIS LANG
UAGE: THO' AT THE SAME TIME, HE HAS THE CONFIDENCE TO PREVARICATE, IF NOT FLATLY
 DENY THE ACCUSATION, AND EQUIVOCALLY TO VINDICATE HIMSELF; AS IN THE PREFACE TO
 THE "MOCK ASTROLOGER": WHERE HE MENTIONS $THOMAS_CORNEILLE'S "LE FEINT ASTROLOG
UE" BECAUS'D 'TWAS TRANSLATED, AND THE THEFT PROV'D UPON HIM; BUT NEVER SAYS ONE
 WORD OF $MOLIERE'S "DEPIT AMOREUX", FROM WHENCE THE GREATEST PART OF $WILD=BLOO
D AND $JACINTA, (WHICH HE OWNS ARE THE CHIEFEST PARTS OF THE PLAY) ARE STOLEN.
0253-FX/1691:009(085) I CANNOT PASS BY HIS VANITY IN SAYING, THAT THOSE WHO HAVE
 CALLED $VIRGIL, $TERENCE AND $TASSO, PLAGIARIES (THO' THEY MUCH INJUR'D THEM) H
AD YET A BETTER COLOUR FOR THEIR ACCUSATION: NOR HIS CONFIDENCE IN SHELTRING HIM
SELF UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THEIR GREAT NAMES, BY AFFIRMING, THAT HE IS ABLE TO
 SAY THE SAME FOR HIS PLAY, THAT HE URGES FOR THEIR POEMS; VIZ THAT THE BODY OF
HIS PLAY IS HIS OWN, AND SO ARE ALL THE ORNAMENTS OF LANGUAGE, AND ELOCUTION IN
THEM.
0254-FX/1691:010(052) I APPEAL ONLY TO THOSE WHO ARE VERS'D IN THE $FRENCH TONGU
E, AND WILL TAKE THE PAINS TO COMPARE THIS COMEDY WITH THE $FRENCH PLAYS ABOVEME
NTION'D; IF THIS BE NOT SOMEWHAT MORE THAN MENTAL RESERVATION, OR TO USE ONE OF
HIS OWN EXPRESSIONS, A SOPHISTICATED TRUTH, WITH AN ALLAY OF LIE IN'T.
0255-FX/1691:011(023) NOR ARE HIS CHARACTERS LESS BORROW'D IN HIS TRAGEDIES, AND
 THE SERIOUS PARTS OF HIS TRAGI=COMEDIES; AS I SHALL OBSERVE IN THE SEQUEL.
0256-FX/1691:012(026) IT SHALL SUFFICE ME AT PRESENT, TO SHEW HOW MAGISTERIALLY
HE HUFFS AT, AND DOMINEERS OVER, THE $FRENCH IN HIS PREFACE TO THE "CONQUEST OF
$GRANADA".
0257-FX/1691:013(056) I SHALL NEVER (SAYS HE) SUBJECT MY CHARACTERS TO THE $FREN
CH STANDARD; WHERE LOVE AND HONOUR ARE TO BE WEIGH'D BY DRAMS AND SCRUPLES: YET,
 WHERE I HAVE DESIGN'D THE PATTERNS OF EXACT VIRTUE, SUCH AS IN THIS PLAY ARE TH
E PARTS OF $ALMAHIDE, OF $OZMYN, AND $BENZAIDA, I MAY SAFELY CHALLENGE THE BEST
OF THEIRS.
0258-FX/1691:014(133) NOW THE READER IS DESIR'D TO OBSERVE THAT ALL THE CHARACTE
RS OF THAT PLAY ARE STOLEN FROM THE $FRENCH: SO THAT MR $DRYDEN TOOK A SECURE WA
Y TO CONQUEST, FOR HAVING ROBB'D THEM OF THEIR WEAPONS, HE MIGHT SAFELY CHALLENG
E THEM AND BEAT THEM TOO, ESPECIALLY HAVING GOTTEN $PONCE_DE_LEON ON HIS SIDE, I
N DISGUISE, AND UNDER THE TITLE OF $ALMANZOR: AND SHOULD MONSIEUR $DE_VOITURE PR
ESUME TO LAY CLAIM TO HIS OWN SONG "L'AMOUR SOUS SA LOY" ETC WHICH MR $DRYDEN HA
S ROBB'D HIM OF, AND PLAC'D IN THE PLAY OF SIR $MARTIN_MARR=ALL, (BEING THAT SON
G WHICH BEGINS "BLIND LOVE TO THIS HOUR" ETC) OUR POET WOULD GO NIGH TO BEAT HIM
 WITH A STAFF OF HIS OWN RIMES, WITH AS MUCH EASE AS SIR $MARTIN DEFEATED THE BA
ILIFFS IN RESCUE OF HIS RIVAL.
0259-FX/1691:015(153) BUT HAD HE ONLY EXTENDED HIS CONQUESTS OVER THE $FRENCH PO
ETS, I HAD NOT MEDDLED IN THIS AFFAIR, AND HE MIGHT HAVE TAKEN PART WITH $ACHILL
ES, AND $RINALDO, AGAINST $CYRUS, AND $OROONDATES, WITHOUT MY ENGAGING IN THIS F
OREIGN WAR: BUT WHEN I FOUND HIM FLUSHT WITH HIS VICTORY OVER THE GREAT $SCUDERY
, AND WITH $ALMANZOR'S ASSISTANCE TRIUMPHING OVER THE NOBLE KINGDOME OF $GRANADA
; AND NOT CONTENT WITH CONQUESTS ABROAD, LIKE ANOTHER $JULIUS_CAESAR, TURNING HI
S ARMS UPON HIS OWN COUNTRY; AND AS IF THE PROSCRIPTION OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES' R
EPUTATION, WERE NOT SUFFICIENT TO SATIATE HIS IMPLACABLE THIRST AFTER FAME, ENDE
AVOURING TO DEMOLISH THE STATUES AND MONUMENTS OF HIS ANCESTORS, THE WORKS OF TH
OSE HIS ILLUSTRIOUS PREDECESSORS, $SHAKESPEAR, $FLETCHER, AND $JOHNSON: I WAS RE
SOLV'D TO ENDEAVOUR THE RESCUE AND PRESERVATION OF THOSE EXCELLENT TROPHIES OF W
IT, BY RAISING THE POSSE=COMITATUS UPON THIS POETICK $ALMANZOR, TO PUT A STOP TO
 HIS SPOILS UPON HIS OWN COUNTRY=MEN.
0260-FX/1691:016(096) THEREFORE I PRESENT MY SELF A CHAMPION IN THE DEAD POETS'
CAUSE, TO VINDICATE THEIR FAME, WITH THE SAME COURAGE, THO' I HOPE DIFFERENT INT
EGRITY THAN $ALMANZOR ENGAG'D IN DEFENCE OF QUEEN $ALMAHIDE, WHEN HE BRAVELY SWO
RE LIKE A HERO, THAT HIS CAUSE WAS RIGHT, AND SHE WAS INNOCENT; THO' JUST BEFORE
 THE COMBAT, WHEN ALONE, HE OWN'D HE KNEW HER FALSE: <I HAVE OUT=FAC'D MY SELF,
AND JUSTIFY'D WHAT I KNEW FALSE TO ALL THE WORLD BESIDE; SHE WAS AS FAITHLESS AS
 HER SEX COULD BE; AND NOW I AM ALONE, SHE'S SO TO ME>.
0261-FX/1691:017(082) BUT TO WAIVE THIS DIGRESSION, AND PROCEED TO THE VINDICATI
ON OF THE ANCIENTS; WHICH THAT I MAY THE BETTER PERFORM, FOR THE READER'S DIVERS
ION, AND THAT MR $DRYDEN MAY NOT TELL ME, THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID, IS BUT <GRATIS
DICTUM>, I SHALL SET DOWN THE HEADS OF HIS DEPOSITIONS AGAINST OUR ANCIENT $ENGL
ISH POETS, AND THEN ENDEAVOUR THE DEFENCE OF THOSE GREAT MEN, WHO CERTAINLY DESE
RV'D MUCH BETTER OF POSTERITY, THAN TO BE SO DISRESPECTIVELY TREATED AS HE HAS U
SED THEM.
0262-FX/1691:018(074) MR $SHAKESPEAR AS FIRST IN SENIORITY I THINK OUGHT TO LEAD
 THE VAN, AND THEREFORE I SHALL GIVE YOU HIS ACCOUNT OF HIM AS FOLLOWS: $SHAKESP
EAR WHO MANY TIMES HAS WRITTEN BETTER THAN ANY POET IN ANY LANGUAGE, IS YET SO F
AR FROM WRITING WIT ALWAYS, OR EXPRESSING THAT WIT ACCORDING TO THE DIGNITY OF T
HE SUBJECT, THAT HE WRITES IN MANY PLACES BELOW - THE DULLEST WRITERS OF OURS, O
R ANY PRECEDENT AGE.
0263-FX/1691:019(028) HE IS THE VERY $JANUS OF POETS; HE WEARS ALMOST EVERY WHER
E TWO FACES: AND YOU HAVE SCARCE BEGUN TO ADMIRE THE ONE, E'RE YOU DESPISE THE O
THER.
0264-FX/1691:020(036) SPEAKING OF MR $SHAKESPEAR'S PLOTS, HE SAYS THEY WERE LAME
, AND THAT MANY OF THEM WERE MADE UP OF SOME RIDICULOUS, INCOHERENT STORY, WHICH
 IN ONE PLAY, MANY TIMES TOOK UP THE BUSINESS OF AN AGE.
0265-FX/1691:021(058) I SUPPOSE (SAYS HE) I NEED NOT NAME "$PERICLES PRINCE OF $
TYRE", NOR THE HISTORICAL PLAYS OF $SHAKESPEAR; BESIDES MANY OF THE REST, AS THE
 "WINTERS TALE", "LOVE'S LABOUR LOST", "MEASURE FOR MEASURE", WHICH WERE EITHER
GROUNDED ON IMPOSSIBILITIES, OR AT LEAST SO MEANLY WRITTEN, THAT THE COMEDY NEIT
HER CAUSED YOUR MIRTH, NOR THE SERIOUS PART YOUR CONCERNMENT.
0266-FX/1691:022(025) HE SAYS FURTHER, MOST OF $SHAKESPEAR'S PLAYS, I MEAN THE S
TORIES OF THEM, ARE TO BE FOUND IN THE "HECCATOMOUTHI", OR "HUNDRED NOVELS OF $C
INTHIO".
0267-FX/1691:023(022) I HAVE MY SELF READ IN HIS $ITALIAN, THAT OF "$ROMEO AND $
JULIET"; "THE $MOOR OF $VENICE", AND MANY OTHERS OF THEM.
0268-FX/1691:024(049) HE CHARACTERISES MR $FLETCHER, WHO WRIT AFTER MR $SHAKESPE
AR, AS A PERSON THAT NEITHER UNDERSTOOD CORRECT PLOTTING, NOR THAT WHICH THEY CA
LL THE DECORUM OF THE STAGE: OF WHICH HE GIVES SEVERAL INSTANCES OUT OF "$PHILAS
TER", "HUMOUROUS LIEUTENANT", AND "FAITHFUL SHEPHERDESS"; WHICH ARE TOO LONG TO
BE HERE INSERTED.
0269-FX/1691:025(022) IN ANOTHER PLACE HE SPEAKS OF $FLETCHER THUS; NEITHER IS T
HE LUXURIANCE OF $FLETCHER A LESS FAULT THAN THE CARELESSNESS OF $SHAKESPEAR.
0270-FX/1691:026(021) HE DOES NOT WELL ALWAYS, AND WHEN HE DOES, HE IS A TRUE $E
NGLISH=MAN; HE KNOWS NOT WHEN TO GIVE OVER.
0271-FX/1691:027(044) IF HE WAKES IN ONE SCENE, HE COMMONLY SLUMBERS IN ANOTHER:
 AND IF HE PLEASES YOU IN THE FIRST THREE ACTS, HE IS FREQUENTLY SO TIRED WITH H
IS LABOUR, THAT HE GOES HEAVILY IN THE FOURTH, AND SINKS UNDER HIS BURTHEN IN TH
E FIFTH.
0272-FX/1691:028(049) SPEAKING OF HIS PLOTS, HE SAYS, $BEAUMONT AND $FLETCHER HA
D MOST OF THEIRS FROM $SPANISH NOVELS: WITNESS "THE CHANCES", "THE $SPANISH CURA
TE", "RULE A WIFE AND HAVE A WIFE", "THE LITTLE $FRENCH LAWYER", AND SO MANY OTH
ERS OF THEM AS COMPOSE THE GREATEST PART OF THEIR VOLUME IN FOLIO.
0273-FX/1691:029(061) AS TO THE GREAT $BEN_JOHNSON HE DEALS NOT MUCH BETTER WITH
 HIM, THOUGH HE WOULD BE THOUGHT TO ADMIRE HIM; AND IF HE PRAISE HIM IN ONE PAGE
, HE WIPES IT OUT IN ANOTHER: THUS THO' HE CALLS HIM THE MOST JUDICIOUS OF POETS
, AND INIMITABLE WRITER, YET, HE SAYS, HIS EXCELLENCY LAY IN THE LOW CHARACTERS
OF VICE, AND FOLLY.
0274-FX/1691:030(049) WHEN AT ANY TIME (SAYS HE) $BEN AIM'D AT WIT IN THE STRICT
ER SENSE, THAT IS SHARPNESS OF CONCEIT, HE WAS FORC'D TO BORROW FROM THE ANCIENT
S, (AS TO MY KNOWLEDGE HE DID VERY MUCH FROM $PLAUTUS): OR WHEN HE TRUSTED HIMSE
LF ALONE, OFTEN FELL INTO MEANNESS OF EXPRESSION.
0275-FX/1691:031(040) NAY HE WAS NOT FREE FROM THE LOWEST AND MOST GROVELING KIN
D OF WIT, WHICH WE CALL CLENCHES; OF WHICH "EVERY MAN IN HIS HUMOUR" IS INFINITE
LY FULL, AND WHICH IS WORSE, THE WITTIEST PERSONS IN THE DRAMA SPEAK THEM.
0276-FX/1691:032(070) THESE ARE HIS OWN WORDS, AND HIS JUDGMENT OF THESE THREE G
REAT MEN IN PARTICULAR, NOW TAKE HIS OPINION OF THEM ALL IN GENERAL, WHICH IS AS
 FOLLOWS; BUT MALICE AND PARTIALITY SET APART, LET ANY MAN, WHO UNDERSTANDS $ENG
LISH, READ DILIGENTLY THE WORKS OF $SHAKESPEAR AND $FLETCHER; AND I DARE UNDERTA
KE THAT HE WILL FIND IN EVERY PAGE, EITHER SOME SOLECISM IN SPEECH, OR SOME NOTO
RIOUS FLAW IN SENCE.
0277-FX/1691:033(029) IN THE NEXT PAGE, SPEAKING OF THEIR SENSE AND LANGUAGE, HE
 SAYS, I DARE ALMOST CHALLENGE ANY MAN TO SHEW ME A PAGE TOGETHER WHICH IS CORRE
CT IN BOTH.
0278-FX/1691:034(023) AS FOR $BEN_JOHNSON I AM LOATH TO NAME HIM, BECAUSE HE IS
A MOST JUDICIOUS AUTHOR, YET HE OFTEN FALLS INTO THESE ERRORS.
0279-FX/1691:035(055) SPEAKING OF THEIR WIT, HE GIVES IT THIS CHARACTER, I HAVE
ALWAYS ACKNOWLEDG'D THE WIT OF OUR PREDECESSORS, WITH ALL THE VENERATION THAT BE
COMES ME; BUT I AM SURE, THEIR WIT WAS NOT THAT OF GENTLEMEN; THERE WAS EVER SOM
EWHAT THAT WAS ILL=BRED AND CLOWNISH IN IT: AND WHICH CONFEST THE CONVERSATION O
F THE AUTHORS.
0280-FX/1691:036(037) SPEAKING OF THE ADVANTAGE WHICH ACRUES TO OUR WRITING, FRO
M CONVERSATION, HE SAYS, IN THE AGE WHEREIN THOSE POETS LIV'D, THERE WAS LESS OF
 GALLANTRY, THAN IN OURS; NEITHER DID THEY KEEP THE BEST COMPANY OF THEIRS.
0281-FX/1691:037(026) THEIR FORTUNE HAS BEEN MUCH LIKE THAT OF $EPICURUS, IN THE
 RETIREMENT OF HIS GARDENS: TO LIVE ALMOST UNKNOWN, AND TO BE CELEBRATED AFTER T
HEIR DECEASE.
0282-FX/1691:038(029) I CANNOT FIND THAT ANY OF THEM WERE CONVERSANT IN COURTS,
EXCEPT $BEN_JOHNSON: AND HIS GENIUS LAY NOT SO MUCH THAT WAY, AS TO MAKE AN IMPR
OVEMENT BY IT.
0283-FX/1691:039(019) HE GIVES THIS CHARACTER OF THEIR AUDIENCES; THEY KNEW NO B
ETTER, AND THEREFORE WERE SATISFIED WITH WHAT THEY BROUGHT.
0284-FX/1691:040(037) THOSE WHO CALL THEIRS THE GOLDEN AGE OF POETRY, HAVE ONLY
THIS REASON FOR IT, THAT THEY WERE THEN CONTENT WITH ACORNS, BEFORE THEY KNEW TH
E USE OF BREAD; OR THAT <ALIS DRUOS> WAS BECOME A PROVERB.
0285-FX/1691:041(057) THESE ARE ERRORS WHICH MR $DRYDEN HAS FOUND OUT IN THE MOS
T CORRECT DRAMATICK POETS OF THE LAST AGE, AND SAYS IN DEFENCE OF OUR PRESENT WR
ITERS, THAT IF THEY REACH NOT SOME EXCELLENCIES OF $BEN_JOHNSON, YET AT LEAST TH
EY ARE ABOVE THAT MEANNESS OF THOUGHT WHICH HE HAS TAX'D, AND WHICH IS SO FREQUE
NT IN HIM.
0286-FX/1691:042(069) AFTER THIS HE FALLS UPON THE GENTLEMEN OF THE LAST AGE IN
A CHARACTER, WHICH (AS $BAYES SAYS) IS SHEER POINT AND SATIRE THROUGHOUT; FOR AF
TER HAVING DROLL'D UPON THEM, CALLING THEM OLD FELLOWS, GRAVE GENTLEMEN, ETC HE
SUMS UP HIS EVIDENCE, AND SINGS AN $IO_TRIUMPHE; ASCRIBING HIS VICTORY TO THE GA
LLANTRY AND CIVILITY OF THIS AGE, AND TO HIS OWN KNOWLEDGE OF THE CUSTOMS AND MA
NNERS OF IT.
0287-FX/1691:043(071) I MUST DO MR $DRYDEN THIS JUSTICE, TO ACQUAINT THE WORLD,
THAT HERE, AND THERE IN THIS POSTSCRIPT, HE INTERSPERSES SOME FAINT PRAISES OF T
HESE AUTHORS; AND BEGS THE READER'S PARDON FOR ACCUSING THEM, DESIRING HIM TO CO
NSIDER THAT HE LIVES IN AGE WHERE HIS LEAST FAULTS ARE SEVERELY CENSUR'D, AND TH
AT HE HAS NO WAY LEFT TO EXTENUATE HIS FAILINGS, BUT BY SHEWING AS GREAT IN THOS
E WHOM HE ADMIRES.
0288-FX/1691:044(094) WHETHER THIS BE A SUFFICIENT EXCUSE OR NO, I LEAVE TO THE
CRITICKS: BUT SURE I AM THAT THIS PROCEDURE SEEMS EXACTLY AGREEABLE TO THE CHARA
CTER WHICH AN INGENIOUS PERSON DRAWS OF A MALIGNANT WIT, WHO CONSCIOUS OF HIS OW
N VICES, AND STUDIOUS TO CONCEAL THEM, ENDEAVOURS BY DETRACTION TO MAKE IT APPEA
R THAT OTHERS ALSO OF GREATER ESTIMATION IN THE WORLD, ARE TAINTED WITH THE SAME
 OR GREATER: AS INFAMOUS WOMEN GENERALLY EXCUSE THEIR PERSONAL DEBAUCHERIES, BY
INCRIMINATING UPON THEIR WHOLE SEX, CALUMNIATING THE MOST CHASTE AND VIRTUOUS, T
O PALLIATE THEIR OWN DISHONOUR.
0289-FU/1692:001(087) AS WE SHOULD NOT BE SO FONDLY CONCEITED OF OUR SELVES, AND
 THE EXTRAORDINARY ABILITIES OF THE PRESENT AGE, AS TO THINK EVERY THING THAT IS
 ANCIENT TO BE OBSOLETE; OR, AS IF IT MUST NEEDS BE WITH OPINIONS, AS IT IS WITH
 CLOATHS, WHERE THE NEWEST IS FOR THE MOST PART BEST; SO NEITHER SHOULD WE BE SO
 SUPERSTITIOUSLY DEVOTED TO ANTIQUITY, AS TO TAKE EVERY THING FOR CANONICAL, WHI
CH DROPS FROM THE PEN OF A FATHER, OR WAS APPROVED BY THE CONSENT OF THE ANCIENT
S.
0290-FU/1692:002(053) ANTIQUITY IS EVER VENERABLE, AND JUSTLY CHALLENGES HONOUR,
 AND REVERENCE; BUT YET THERE IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REVERENCE, AND SUPERSTITION;
 WE MAY ASSENT UNTO THEM AS ANCIENTS, BUT NOT AS ORACLES; THEY MAY HAVE OUR MIND
S EASY AND INCLINABLE, BUT THERE IS NO REASON THEY SHOULD HAVE THEM CAPTIVATED A
ND FETTER'D TO THEIR OPINIONS.
0291-FU/1692:003(045) AS I WILL NOT DISTRUST ALL, WHICH WITHOUT MANIFEST PROOF T
HEY DELIVER, WHERE I CANNOT CONVINCE THEM OF ERROR; SO LIKEWISE WILL I SUSPEND M
Y BELIEF UPON PROBABILITY OF THEIR MISTAKES; AND WHERE I FIND REASON TO DISSENT,
 I WILL RATHER RESPECT TRUTH THAN AUTHORITY.
0292-FU/1692:004(026) AS THERE MAY BE FRIENDSHIP, SO THERE MAY BE HONOUR, WITH D
IVERSITY OF OPINIONS; NOR ARE WE BOUND THEREFORE TO DEFY MEN, BECAUSE WE REVEREN
CE THEM.
0293-FU/1692:005(035) WE WRONG OUR ANCESTORS MORE BY ADMIRING THAN OPPOSING THEM
 IN THEIR ERROURS; AND OUR OPINION OF THEM IS VERY DISHONOURABLE, IF WE THINK TH
EY HAD RATHER HAVE US FOLLOWERS, OF THEM, THAN OF TRUTH.
0294-FU/1692:006(110) THE GREATEST RESPECT WE CAN SHEW THE ANCIENTS, IS BY FOLLO
WING THEIR EXAMPLE: WHICH WAS NOT SUPINELY AND SUPERSTITIOUSLY TO SIT DOWN IN FO
ND ADMIRATION OF THE LEARNING OF THOSE THAT WERE BEFORE THEM; BUT TO EXAMINE THE
IR WRITINGS, TO AVOID THEIR MISTAKES, AND TO USE THEIR DISCOVERIES, IN ORDER TO
THE FURTHER IMPROVEMENT OF KNOWLEDGE: THIS THEY DID; AND NEVER ANY MAN TOOK A GR
EATER LIBERTY IN CENSURING AND REPROVING THE SUPPOSED ERRORS AND MISTAKES OF THE
 ELDER PHILOSOPHERS, THAN $ARISTOTLE HIMSELF; AND THEREFORE I DO NOT SEE ANY REA
SON, WHY HE SHOULD BE ALLOW'D GREATER PRIVILEGE, THAN WHAT HE HIMSELF THOUGHT GO
OD TO ALLOW TO THOSE BEFORE HIM.
0295-FU/1692:007(029) <VERITAS NEC MEA EST, NEC ILLIUS, AUT ULLIUS>, SAYS SAINT
$AUSTINE, NO MAN CAN SAY I AM INFALLIBLE; FOR AS WE ARE MEN, SO WE ARE SUBJECT T
O ERROR.
0296-FU/1692:008(026) AS FOR THE TRUTH OF THINGS, TIME MAKES NO ALTERATION; THIN
GS ARE STILL THE SAME THEY ARE, LET THE TIME BE PAST, PRESENT, OR TO COME.
0297-FU/1692:009(014) THOSE THINGS WHICH WE REVERENCE FOR ANTIQUITY, WHAT WERE T
HEY AT THEIR FIRST BIRTH?
0298-FU/1692:010(003) WERE THEY FALSE?
0299-FU/1692:011(008) TIME CANNOT MAKE THEM TRUE: WERE THEY TRUE?
0300-FU/1692:012(006) TIME CANNOT MAKE THEM MORE TRUE.
0301-FU/1692:013(014) THE CIRCUMSTANCE THEREFORE OF TIME, IN RESPECT OF TRUTH AN
D ERROUR, IS MERELY IMPERTINENT.
0302-FU/1692:014(012) FOR AS ANTIQUITY CANNOT PRIVILEGE AN ERROR, SO NOVELTY CAN
NOT PREJUDICE TRUTH.
0303-FU/1692:015(032) I KNOW IN ALL AGES THERE HAVE BEEN THOSE, WHO WITH A GREAT
 DEAL OF ZEAL AND ELEGANCE HAVE DECLAIM'D AGAINST NEW THINGS, SETTING FORTH THE
GREAT DANGER OF ALTERATION AND NOVELTY.
0304-FU/1692:016(035) BUT LET US NOT BE FRIGHTENED WITH SHADOWS: IF TO BE THE AU
THOR OF NEW THINGS, BE A CRIME; HOW WILL THE FIRST CIVILIZERS OF MEN, AND MAKERS
 OF LAWS, AND FOUNDERS OF GOVERNMENTS ESCAPE?
0305-FU/1692:017(019) WHATEVER NOW DELIGHTS US IN THE WORKS OF NATURE, THAT EXCE
LS THE RUDENESS OF THE FIRST CREATION, IS NEW.
0306-FU/1692:018(038) WHATEVER WE SEE IN CITIES, OR HOUSES, ABOVE THE FIRST WILD
NESS OF FIELDS, AND MEANNESS OF COTTAGES, AND NAKEDNESS OF MEN, HAD ITS TIME, WH
EN THIS IMPUTATION OF NOVELTY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE BEEN LAID TO ITS CHARGE.
0307-FU/1692:019(033) IT IS NOT THEREFORE AN OFFENCE, TO INTRODUCE NEW THINGS, U
NLESS THAT WHICH IS INTRODUCED PROVE PERNICIOUS IN IT SELF; OR CANNOT BE BROUGHT
 IN, WITHOUT THE EXTIRPATION OF OTHERS, THAT ARE BETTER.
0308-FU/1692:020(091) IF NOVELTY SHOULD ALWAYS BE REJECTED, NEITHER WOULD ARTS H
AVE ARRIVED TO THAT PERFECTION, WHEREIN NOW WE ENJOY THEM, NOR COULD WE EVER HOP
E FOR ANY FUTURE REFORMATION: THOUGH ALL TRUTH BE IN IT SELF ETERNAL; YET IN RES
PECT OF MEN'S OPINIONS, THERE IS SCARCE ANY SO ANCIENT, BUT HAD A BEGINNING, AND
 WAS ONCE COUNTED A NOVELTY; AND IF FOR THIS REASON IT HAD BEEN CONDEMNED AS AN
ERROR, WHAT A GENERAL DARKNESS AND IGNORANCE WOULD THEN HAVE BEEN IN THE WORLD,
IN COMPARISON OF THAT LIGHT WHICH NOW ABOUNDS.
0309-FU/1692:021(096) THE GREAT ARCHITECT OF THE WORLD HATH BEEN OBSERV'D NOT TO
 THROW DOWN ALL GIFTS AND KNOWLEDGE TO MANKIND CONFUSEDLY AT ONCE, BUT IN A REGU
LAR PARSIMONIOUS METHOD, TO DISPERSE THEM BY CERTAIN DEGREES, PERIODS, AND PROGR
ESS OF TIME, LEAVING MAN TO MAKE INDUSTRIOUS RESEARCHES AND INVESTIGATIONS AFTER
 TRUTH; HE LEFT THE WORLD TO THE DISPUTATIONS OF MEN, AS THE WISEST OF MEN SAYS,
 WHO IN ACQUISITION OF NATURAL TRUTHS WENT FROM THE HYSOPE TO THE CEDAR; ONE DAY
 CERTIFIETH ANOTHER, AND ONE AGE RECTIFIETH ANOTHER, AND THE MORROW HATH MORE EX
PERIENCE THAN THE PRECEDING DAY.
0310-FU/1692:022(145) THOSE TIMES, WHICH WE TERM VULGARLY THE OLD WORLD, WAS IND
EED THE YOUTH OF IT, AND THOUGH IF RESPECT BE HAD TO THE PARTICULAR AND PERSONAL
 ACTS OF GENERATION, AND TO THE RELATION OF FATHER AND SON, THEY WHO FORE=LIV'D
AND PRECEDED US MAY BE CALLED OUR ANCESTORS, YET IF YOU GO TO THE AGE OF THE WOR
LD IN GENERAL, AND TO THE TRUE LENGTH AND LONGAEVITY OF THINGS, WE ARE MORE PROP
ERLY THE ANCIENTS, AND THE PRESENT AGE IS THE GREATEST ANTIQUITY: HENCE, AS THE
LORD $BACON OBSERVES, WE GENERALLY HAVE A WRONG NOTION OF ANTIQUITY; FOR (SAYS H
E) TO SPEAK TRULY, <ANTIQUITAS SECULI, JUVENTUS MUNDI>; THAT WHICH WE COMMONLY C
ALL ANTIQUITY, IS BUT THE NONAGE OF THE WORLD: AND IN THIS RESPECT THE YOUNGER B
ROTHER MAY BE TERM'D MORE ANCIENT THAN HIS ELDER, BECAUSE THE WORLD WAS OLDER WH
EN HE ENTRED INTO IT.
0311-FU/1692:023(024) THE ADMIRING OF FORMER AGES, WAS A VANITY THAT POSSESS'D A
LL TIMES AS WELL AS OURS; AND THE GOLDEN AGE WAS NEVER THE PRESENT.
0312-FU/1692:024(035) THEY WHO WENT BEFORE US, HAVE NOT PREVENTED US, BUT HAVE O
PENED A DOOR, THAT WE MAY ENTER INTO THE RECESSES OF TRUTH: HE THAT COMES LAST H
ATH CERTAINLY THE BEST ADVANTAGE IN THE INQUIRY.
0313-FU/1692:025(047) OUR ANCESTORS HAVE DONE WISELY AND WELL IN THEIR GENERATIO
NS, BUT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ALL; MUCH WORK STILL REMAINS BEHIND, AND HE THAT LIVE
S A THOUSAND AGES HENCE, SHALL NOT HAVE REASON TO COMPLAIN, THAT THERE ARE NO HI
DDEN TRUTHS FIT FOR HIM TO ENQUIRE AFTER.
0314-FU/1692:026(032) THERE ARE MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER: EVERY DAY BRINGS A NEW L
IGHT, AND BY A WISE AND CAREFUL LABOUR WE MAY IMPROVE WHAT OUR FORE=FATHERS SPY'
D, WHEN THEY PEEPT THROUGH THE CREVICES.
0315-FU/1692:027(032) IF THE LATTER AGES COULD BE ABSTRACTED FROM THE MIXTURES O
F INTEREST, AND THE ENGAGEMENT OF THEIR PARTY, THEY ARE IN MANY THINGS BETTER AB
LE TO TEACH THE PEOPLE, THAN THE ANCIENTS.
0316-FU/1692:028(095) THERE IS CERTAINLY A TRUER, AND MORE CERTAIN KNOWLEDGE OF
THINGS NOW THAN FORMERLY: BUT THAT WHICH SPOILS ALL IS, MEN ARE GROWN A GREAT DE
AL MORE CUNNING, AND FEW THERE ARE, WHO TAKE ANY OTHER AIM, THAN THAT OF INTERES
T; SO THAT HENCE IT IS, THAT MANY TIMES IT PROVES SAFER TO RELY ON THE AUTHORITY
 OF FORMER AGES, THOUGH MORE IGNORANT, THAN OF LATTER AGES, WHICH THOUGH MORE KN
OWING, YET MORE DANGEROUS TO FOLLOW, IN RESPECT OF THAT DESIGN AND ARTIFICE, WHI
CH NOW=A=DAYS MEN USE, ON PURPOSE TO PROMOTE THEIR OWN PRIVATE INTEREST.
0317-FU/1692:029(037) IN SHORT, IT BEHOVES EVERY ONE IN THE SEARCH OF TRUTH, ALW
AYS TO PRESERVE A PHILOSOPHICAL LIBERTY: NOT TO BE SO ENSLAVED TO THE OPINION OF
 ANY MAN, AS TO THINK WHATEVER HE SAYS TO BE INFALLIBLE.
0318-FU/1692:030(028) WE MUST LABOUR TO FIND OUT WHAT THINGS ARE IN THEMSELVES B
Y OUR OWN EXPERIENCE, AND A THROUGH EXAMINATION OF THEIR NATURES, NOT WHAT ANOTH
ER SAYS OF THEM.
0319-FU/1692:031(030) <NON TAM AUTHORITAS IN DISPUTANDO, QUAM RATIONIS MOMENTA Q
UAERENDA SUNT>, SAID $CICERO; A MAN OUGHT NOT SO MUCH TO REGARD THE PERSON WHO S
PEAKS, AS THE THING THAT IS SPOKEN.
0320-FU/1692:032(068) BUT IT IS THE UNHAPPY HUMOUR OF TOO MANY MEN, <JURARE IN V
ERBA MAGISTRI>, SERVILELY TO TIE THEMSELVES TO THE AUTHORITY OF PARTICULAR MEN,
AND TO SEE WITH OTHER MEN'S SPECTACLES: THE GREATEST PART OF THE WORLD BEING RAT
HER LED WITH THE NAMES OF THEIR MASTERS, AND WITH THE REVEREND RESPECT THEY BEAR
 THEIR PERSONS OR MEMORIES, THAN WITH THE SOUNDNESS AND TRUTH OF THE THINGS THEY
 TEACH.
0321-FU/1692:033(075) MEN FIRST TAKE UP A CONFIDENCE OF THE LEARNING OR SANCTITY
 OF A PERSON, AND THEN ALL HIS NOTIONS ARE RECEIV'D IMPLICITLY, AND ARE STRICTLY
 EMBRACED, WITHOUT THE LEAST EXAMINATION: AND THIS ADMIRATION OF MEN'S PERSONS,
HAS IN ALL AGES BEEN OF HUGE MISCHIEF, AND VERY PERNICIOUS; IT HAS NURS'D UP PRI
VATE FANCIES INTO SOLEMN PUBLICK ERRORS, AND GIVEN AN UNHAPPY PERPETUITY TO MANY
 HETERODOX OPINIONS, WHICH WOULD ELSE HAVE EXPIR'D WITH THEIR FIRST DEFENDERS.
0322-FU/1692:034(021) MEN DO NOT ANY WHERE MORE EASILY ERR, THAN WHERE THEY FOLL
OW A GUIDE, WHOM THEY PRESUME THEY MAY SAFELY TRUST.
0323-FU/1692:035(029) BELIEF, WITHOUT EVIDENCE OF REASON, MUST BE ONLY THERE ABS
OLUTE, WHERE THE AUTHORITY IS UNQUESTIONABLE; AND WHERE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ERR,
 THERE ONLY IT IS IMPIOUS TO DISTRUST.
0324-FU/1692:036(055) AS FOR MEN'S ASSERTIONS, <QUIBUS POSSIBILE EST SUBESSE FAL
SUM>, WHAT ONE SAID OF FRIENDSHIP, <SIC AMA TANQUAM OSURUS>, LOVE WITH THAT WISD
OM, AS TO REMEMBER YOU MAY BE PROVOKED TO THE CONTRARY, IS MORE WARRANTABLE AND
ADVANTAGEOUS IN KNOWLEDGE, <SIC CREDE TANQUAM DISSENSURUS>, SO TO BELIEVE, AS TO
 BE READY, WHEN CAUSE REQUIRES, TO DISSENT.
0325-FU/1692:037(054) IT IS A TOO MUCH STRAITNING OF A MAN'S OWN UNDERSTANDING,
TO ENTHRAL IT UNTO ANY; AND BESIDES, THERE IS NOT ANY THING, WHICH HATH BRED MOR
E DISTEMPERS IN THE BODY OF LEARNING, THAN FACTIONS AND SIDINGS; WHEN AS $SENECA
 SAID OF $CATO, THAT HE WOULD RATHER ESTEEM DRUNKENNESS A VIRTUE, THAN $CATO VIC
IOUS.
0326-FU/1692:038(068) TO CONCLUDE, THERE IS NO ONE THING HATH MORE STUNTED THE G
ROWTH OF LEARNING, THAN A STIFF ADHERING TO THE DICTATES OF THE ANCIENTS; FOR HE
 WHO MAKES $PLATO OR $ARISTOTLE THE STANDARD OF HUMANE KNOWLEDGE, CANNOT POSSIBL
Y TRANSCEND THE LEARNING OF $PLATO OR $ARISTOTLE; THE UTMOST HE CAN DO, HE MAY C
OME UP TO THAT HEIGHT, BUT (LIKE WATER) HE CAN NEVER RISE HIGHER THAN THE SOURCE
.
0327-FU/1692:039(112) NOW IF WE ENQUIRE THE REASON WHY THE MATHEMATICKS, AND MEC
HANICK ARTS, HAVE SO MUCH GOT THE START IN GROWTH OF OTHER SCIENCES; THIS MAY VE
RY WELL BE THOUGHT TO BE ONE CONSIDERABLE CAUSE OF IT, THAT THEIR PROGRESS HATH
NOT BEEN RETARDED BY THIS REVERENTIAL AWE OF FORMER DISCOVERIES: HEREIN MEN HAVE
 ACTED FREELY, WITHOUT LAYING ANY RESTRAINT UPON THEMSELVES, OR EMBARGO UPON THE
IR INTELLECTUALS: NO MAN EVER THOUGHT IT AN HERESY TO OUT=LIMN $APELLES, OR TO O
UT=WORK THE OBELISKS: IT WAS NEVER IMPUTED TO $GALILAEUS AS A CRIME, THAT HE SAW
 FURTHER THAN THE ANCIENTS, AND THAT HE CHOSE RATHER TO BELIEVE HIS OWN EYES, TH
AN EITHER $ARISTOTLE OR $PTOLOMY.
0328-FU/1692:040(042) THOSE FAMOUS OPTICK GLASSES, WHICH ARE NOW SO SERVICEABLE
TO US, ARE NOT A JOT THE LESS VALUED, BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT US'D BY THE ANCIENTS
; NOR DO WE GIVE THE LESS CREDIT TO THEIR INFORMATIONS, BECAUSE THEY WERE HID FR
OM AGES.
0329-FU/1692:041(044) THE POLAR VERTUE OF THE LOADSTONE, WAS UNKNOWN TO THE ANCI
ENTS; THIS WAS RESERV'D FOR LATTER DAYS; AND YET NO MAN IS SO SILLY, TO THINK TH
E VAST ADVANTAGES, WHICH ACCRUE TO MANKIND BY THAT NOBLE INVENTION, ARE (THEREFO
RE) THE LESS TO BE ESTEEM'D.
0330-FU/1692:042(103) AND HAD THE AUTHOR OF THAT INVENTION (ONE $FLAVIUS_GOIA, A
 $NEAPOLITANE, WHO LIV'D ABOUT THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO) BEEN OF THIS NARROW PRIN
CIPLE, THAT WE ARE NOT TO TRANSCEND THE BOUNDS OF THE ANCIENTS; WE MUST THEN (FO
R WANT OF THIS DISCOVERY) HAVE COMMITTED OUR SELVES TO THE SOLE CONDUCT OF THE S
TARS; AND (AS THE ANCIENTS DID) MUST WE ALWAYS HAVE BEEN CREEPING NEAR THE SHORE
: THEN THE FOURTH PART OF THE EARTH HAD BEEN YET UNKNOWN, AND $HERCULES'S_PILLAR
S HAD STILL BEEN THE WORLD'S NE ULTRA: $SENECA'S PROPHECY HAD BEEN AN UNFULFILLE
D PREDICTION, AND ONE MOIETY OF OUR GLOBES AN EMPTY HEMISPHERE.
0331-EL/1693:001(052) BUT, AS I SAID BEFORE, BEATING IS THE WORST, AND THEREFORE
 THE LAST MEANS TO BE USED IN THE CORRECTION OF CHILDREN; AND THAT ONLY IN CASES
 OF EXTREMITY, AFTER ALL GENTLER WAYS HAVE BEEN TRIED, AND PROVED UNSUCCESSFUL;
WHICH, IF WELL OBSERVED, THERE WILL BE VERY SELDOM ANY NEED OF BLOWS.
0332-EL/1693:002(112) FOR IT NOT BEING TO BE IMAGINED THAT A CHILD WILL OFTEN, I
F EVER, DISPUTE HIS FATHER'S PRESENT COMMAND IN ANY PARTICULAR INSTANCE; AND THE
 FATHER NOT RIGOROUSLY INTERPOSING HIS AUTHORITY IN POSITIVE RULES CONCERNING CH
ILDISH OR INDIFFERENT ACTIONS, WHEREIN HIS SON IS TO HAVE HIS LIBERTY; NOR CONCE
RNING HIS LEARNING OR IMPROVEMENT, WHEREIN THERE IS NO COMPULSION TO BE USED; TH
ERE REMAINS ONLY THE PROHIBITION OF SOME VICIOUS ACTIONS, WHEREIN A CHILD IS CAP
ABLE OF OBSTINACY, AND CONSEQUENTLY CAN DESERVE BEATING: AND SO THERE WILL BE BU
T VERY FEW OCCASIONS OF THAT DISCIPLINE TO BE USED BY ANY ONE, WHO CONSIDERS WEL
L, AND ORDERS HIS CHILD'S EDUCATION AS IT SHOULD BE.
0333-EL/1693:003(044) FOR THE FIRST SEVEN YEARS, WHAT VICES CAN A CHILD BE GUILT
Y OF, BUT LYING, OR SOME ILL=NATUR'D TRICKS; THE REPEATED COMMISSION WHEREOF, AF
TER HIS FATHER'S DIRECT COMMAND AGAINST IT, SHALL BRING HIM INTO THE CONDEMNATIO
N OF OBSTINACY, AND THE CHASTISEMENT OF THE ROD?
0334-EL/1693:004(087) IF ANY VICIOUS INCLINATION IN HIM BE, IN THE FIRST APPEARA
NCE AND INSTANCES OF IT, TREATED AS IT SHOULD, FIRST WITH YOUR WONDER, AND THEN
IF RETURNING AGAIN A SECOND TIME, DISCOUNTENANCED WITH THE SEVERE BROW OF THE FA
THER, TUTOR, AND ALL ABOUT HIM, AND A TREATMENT SUITABLE TO THE STATE OF DISCRED
IT BEFORE=MENTIONED; AND THIS CONTINUED TILL HE BE MADE SENSIBLE, AND ASHAMED OF
 HIS FAULT, I IMAGINE THERE WILL BE NO  NEED OF ANY OTHER CORRECTION, NOR EVER A
NY OCCASION TO COME TO BLOWS.
0335-EL/1693:005(015) THE NECESSITY OF SUCH CHASTISEMENT IS USUALLY THE CONSEQUE
NCE ONLY OF FORMER INDULGENCIES, OR NEGLECTS.
0336-EL/1693:006(052) IF VICIOUS INCLINATIONS WERE WATCHED FROM THE BEGINNING, A
ND THE FIRST IRREGULARITIES THEY CAUSED CORRECTED BY THOSE GENTLER WAYS, WE SHOU
LD SELDOM HAVE TO DO WITH MORE THAN ONE DISORDER AT ONCE, WHICH WOULD BE EASILY
SET RIGHT WITHOUT ANY STIR OR NOISE, AND NOT REQUIRE SO HARSH A DISCIPLINE AS BE
ATING.
0337-EL/1693:007(024) THUS ONE BY ONE AS THEY APPEAR'D, THEY MIGHT ALL BE WEEDED
 OUT WITHOUT ANY SIGNS OR MEMORY THAT EVER THEY HAD BEEN THERE.
0338-EL/1693:008(089) BUT WE LETTING THEIR FAULTS (BY INDULGING AND HUMOURING OU
R LITTLE ONES) GROW UP TILL THEY ARE STURDY AND NUMEROUS, AND THE DEFORMITY OF T
HEM MAKES US ASHAM'D AND UNEASY, WE ARE FAIN TO COME TO THE PLOUGH AND THE HARRO
W, THE SPADE AND THE PICK=AX MUST GO DEEP TO COME AT THE ROOTS; AND ALL THE FORC
E, SKILL, AND DILIGENCE WE CAN USE, IS SCARCE ENOUGH TO CLEANSE THE VITIATED SEE
D=PLAT OVER=GROWN WITH WEEDS, AND RESTORE US THE HOPES OF FRUITS TO REWARDS OUR
PAINS IN ITS SEASON.
0339-EL/1693:009(022) THIS COURSE, IF OBSERVED, WILL SPARE BOTH FATHER AND CHILD
 THE TROUBLE OF REPEATED INJUNCTIONS AND MULTIPLIED RULES OF DOING AND FORBEARIN
G.
0340-EL/1693:010(040) FOR, I AM OF OPINION, THAT OF THOSE ACTIONS WHICH TEND TO
VITIOUS HABITS (WHICH ARE THOSE ALONE THAT A FATHER SHOULD INTERPOSE HIS AUTHORI
TY AND COMMANDS IN) NONE SHOULD BE FORBIDDEN CHILDREN TILL THEY ARE FOUND GUILTY
 OF THEM.
0341-EL/1693:011(041) FOR SUCH UNTIMELY PROHIBITIONS, IF THEY DO NOTHING WORSE,
DO AT LEAST SO MUCH TOWARDS TEACHING AND ALLOWING THEM, THAT THEY SUPPOSE THAT C
HILDREN MAY BE GUILTY OF THEM; WHO WOULD POSSIBLY BE SAFER IN THE IGNORANCE OF A
NY SUCH FAULTS.
0342-EL/1693:012(036) AND THE BEST REMEDY TO STOP THEM, IS, AS I HAVE SAID, TO S
HEW WONDER AND AMAZEMENT AT ANY SUCH ACTION, AS HATH A VITIOUS TENDENCY, WHEN IT
 IS FIRST TAKEN NOTICE OF IN A CHILD.
0343-EL/1693:013(048) FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN HE IS FIRST FOUND IN A LIE OR ANY ILL NA
TUR'D TRICK, THE FIRST REMEDY SHOULD BE TO TALK TO HIM OF IT AS A STRANGE, MONST
ROUS MATTER, THAT IT COULD NOT BE IMAGIN'D HE WOULD HAVE DONE, AND SO SHAME HIM
OUT OF IT.
0344-FV/1694:001(071) I SHALL HAVE ANOTHER OCCASION HEREAFTER TO CONSIDER THE FI
RST OF THOSE OPINIONS WHEN I COME TO ANSWER A CERTAIN OBJECTION, TOUCHING THE ID
EA OF $GOD; BUT WILL SAY OF IT NOW, THAT THOSE WHO PROFESS IT, CANNOT MAKE OUT (
AS THEY OUGHT TO DO) A CLEAR AND SATISFACTORY IDEA OF EXTENSION IN GENERAL, THAT
 SHALL AGREE IN COMMON, BOTH TO THAT WHICH IS IMPENETRABLE, AND TO THAT WHICH IS
 PENETRABLE.
0345-FV/1694:002(054) BESIDES, IT IS NOT CONCEIVEABLE, THAT A SPIRIT SHOULD BE O
NLY A PENETRABLE EXTENSION, SINCE (AS WILL APPEAR MORE FULLY HEREAFTER) EXTENSIO
N HAS BUT LITTLE TO DO WITH MIND OR THOUGHT, WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO A SPIRIT, AND
 WITHOUT WHICH A SPIRIT CANNOT BE A SPIRIT: AND PENETRABILITY, AND IMPENETRABILI
TY HAS ALL AS LITTLE.
0346-FV/1694:003(007) NOR IS THE SECOND OPINION MORE CONCEIVEABLE.
0347-FV/1694:004(122) FOR NOT TO INSIST, THAT EXISTENCE PROPERLY TAKEN IS ONLY O
F CAUSATES, (<EXISTERE> PROPERLY BEING <ESSE EXTRA CAUSAS>, AND NOTHING PROPERLY
 IS <EXTRA CAUSAS> THAT WAS NOT FIRST <IN CAUSIS>; I WILL TAKE IT AT LARGE, FOR
ANY BEING IN ACT; YET EVEN SO, IT IS NOT OF THE IDEA, OR FIRST CONCEPTION, OF SU
BSTANCE: FOR (BEING) TAKEN NOT AS A NOUN, BUT AS A PARTICIPLE, (AS HERE IT IS TA
KEN), IS IN THE VERY SENSE OF THE TERM, A WORD OF RELATION; BEING IS NOT A THING
, BUT OF A THING; NOT A THING, BUT A MODE OF IT, AND CONSEQUENTLY PRESUPPOSING I
T; AND THAT WHICH PRESUPPOSES THING OR SUBSTANCE, CANNOT POSSIBLY BE IN THE IDEA
, OR FIRST CONCEPTION OF IT.
0348-FV/1694:005(015) IN SHORT, ACCIDENTS HAVE BEING, THO' NOT THE SAME BEING AS
 SUBSTANCES; BUT TO PROCEED.
0349-FV/1694:006(053) NOW, IF THIS IS THE PROPER NOTION OF SUBSTANCE IN GENERAL,
 THAT IT IS A THING THAT IS A SUBJECT OF ACCIDENTS, IT WILL FOLLOW, THAT WE CANN
OT FRAME ANY NOTIONS OF SUBSTANCES IN PARTICULAR, OR MAKE ANY AGREEABLE DISTRIBU
TIONS OF THEM, BUT ACCORDING TO THE SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, OF WHICH THEY ARE SUBJECT
S.
0350-FV/1694:007(028) AND THIS I DESIRE MAY BE NOTED, BECAUSE IT WILL BE OF VERY
 GREAT USE IN CLEARING WHAT I SHALL SAY HEREAFTER, IN THE PROSECUTION OF THIS DI
SCOURSE.
0351-FV/1694:008(007) OF SUBSTANCES SOME ARE PRINCIPLES, SOME PRINCIPIATES.
0352-FV/1694:009(015) BY PRINCIPLES, I MEAN SUBSTANCES THAT ARE CAUSES OF OTHER
THINGS, BUT ARE THEMSELVES UNCAUSED.
0353-FV/1694:010(026) BY PRINCIPIATES, (GIVE ME LEAVE TO MAKE AN $ENGLISH WORD O
F ONE NOT VERY GOOD $LATIN) I MEAN SUBSTANCES THAT ARE CAUSED, OR COMPOSED OF PR
INCIPLES.
0354-FV/1694:011(007) PRINCIPLES MAKE, PRINCIPIATES ARE MADE TO BE.
0355-FV/1694:012(029) THAT THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL CAUSES, AND SUBSTANTIAL EFFECTS
, IN THE WORLD, IS EVIDENT TO SENSE; FOR EVEN TO SENSE, SOME SUBSTANCES BEGIN TO
 BE, AND SOME DO CEASE BEING.
0356-FV/1694:013(040) NOW THAT WHICH BEGINS TO BE, IS MADE TO BE AFTER HAVING NO
T BEEN, MUST OF NECESSITY HAVE SOMETHING, (AND THIS SOMETHING MUST OF NECESSITY
BE ANOTHER THING), THAT MAKES IT TO BE; THAT IS, IT MUST HAVE A CAUSE.
0357-FV/1694:014(016) SO THAT CAUSES AND EFFECTS THERE ARE; ELSE NOTHING COULD B
EGIN TO BE, OR CEASE BEING.
0358-FV/1694:015(053) AND IF THERE ARE CAUSES, EITHER THOSE CAUSES, ALL OF THEM
HAVE CAUSES ALSO, AND CONSEQUENTLY, AS THEY (AS CAUSES) MAKE OTHER THINGS TO BE;
 SO, (AS THINGS THAT HAVE CAUSES) THEMSELVES ARE MADE TO BE BY OTHERS; OR ELSE,
AT LEAST SOME OF THEM HAVE NO CAUSES, BUT ARE SELF=SUBSISTENT AND UNCAUSED.
0359-FV/1694:016(040) IF ALL CAUSES HAVE CAUSES, THEN AN INFINITE PROGRESSION MU
ST BE OWNED IN THE ACCOUNT OF CAUSES, THAN WHICH NOTHING CAN BE MORE REPUGNANT T
O THE MIND OF MAN; TO SCIENCE; AND TO THE ORDER AND UNITY OF THE UNIVERSE.
0360-FV/1694:017(015) AND INDEED THEN, THERE MUST BE A NUMBER ACTUALLY INFINITE,
 SINCE ALL CAUSES ARE ACTUAL.
0361-FV/1694:018(023) BUT IF ANY CAUSES ARE UNCAUSED, (AS CERTAINLY SOME MUST BE
, FOR THE REASONS ALLEGED) THOSE UNCAUSED CAUSES ARE PRINCIPLES, OR FIRST CAUSES
.
0362-FV/1694:019(048) MORE SHORTLY, EITHER SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE OF BEING IS
 UNCAUSED, AND SO IS A PRINCIPLE, FOR WHAT IS UNCAUSED IS A PRINCIPLE; OR ELSE,
EVERY THING IS CAUSED; BUT EVERY THING CANNOT BE CAUSED; FOR IF EVERY THING IS C
AUSED, NOTHING MUST BE THE CAUSE OF SOMETHING.
0363-FV/1694:020(058) FOR IF EVERY THING IS CAUSED, EVERY THING WAS ONCE NOTHING
, FOR WHAT IS CAUSED WAS NOTHING BEFORE IT WAS CAUSED; AND IF EVERY THING WAS ON
CE NOTHING, EITHER NOTHING MUST BE THE CAUSE OF SOME, OR, (WHICH IN EFFECT IS TH
E SAME) NOTHING MAY BECOME SOMETHING WITHOUT ANY CAUSE, THAN WHICH NO THOUGHT CA
N BE MORE UNREASONABLE.
0364-FV/1694:021(035) AGAIN, AS NOTHING IS MORE CERTAIN THAN THAT THERE IS SOME
PRINCIPLE, SO THE $STOICKS (THE WISEST OF ALL THE PHILOSOPHERS, AS WELL AS THE M
OST DEVOUT) AFFIRMED, THAT THERE ARE TWO, MIND, AND MATTER.
0365-FV/1694:022(012) THUS $SENECA IN HIS "EPISTLES" <UNIVERSA EX MATERIA ET EX
DEO CONSTANT>.
0366-FV/1694:023(013) ALL THINGS (SAYS HE) ARE COMPOSED, OR, DO CONSIST OF $GOD
AND MATTER.
0367-FV/1694:024(092) AND INDEED, WE CANNOT BE MORE ASSURED BY ALL OUR FACULTIES
, THAT THERE IS ACTION, AND PASSION IN THE WORLD, AND THAT THE WORLD COULD NEITH
ER BE, OR PERSEVERE IN BEING, WITHOUT THEM, THAN WE ARE TO SPEAK PHILOSOPHICALLY
, THAT THERE ARE TWO PRINCIPLES, ONE, THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL THE ACTION; THE OTHER
, THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL THE PASSION IS IN IT; THE FORMER THE ACTIVE PRINCIPLE, OR
 FIRST SUBJECT OF ACTIVITY, THE LATTER THE PASSIVE PRINCIPLE, OR FIRST SUBJECT O
F PASSIVITY; OF WHICH, I CALL THE FIRST, MIND, THE SECOND, MATTER.
0368-FV/1694:025(100) THIS ASSERTION $ZENO IN $LAERTIUS FULLY AGREES UNTO, WHEN
HE TELLS US, THAT THE PRINCIPLES OF THINGS ARE TWO, <TO POIOUN KAI TO PASCHON>,
THE ACTIVE, AND THE PASSIVE; NOR DOTH THE GREAT ORIGINIST $MOSES SAY MUCH LESS,
WHEN IN HIS "GENESIS", HE WRITETH OF THE SPIRIT OF $GOD THAT MOVED, AND OF THE A
BYSS AND WATERS UPON WHICH HE MOVED; AND METHINKS, IN ALL ANIMAL GENERATIONS, IN
 WHICH THERE MUST BE A MALE AND A FEMALE, AS WHO SHOULD SAY, AN ACTIVE AND A PAS
SIVE PRINCIPLE, THERE IS SOME (AND THIS NO VERY DARK OR OBSCURE) ADUMBRATION OF
IT.
0369-FV/1694:026(041) BEFORE I DO PROCEED TO A MORE PARTICULAR CONSIDERATION OF
THESE PRINCIPLES, I WOULD HAVE IT BE OBSERVED, THAT WE OUGHT TO DISTINGUISH WHAT
 IS MANIFEST, CERTAIN, AND OF UNDOUBTED TRUTH CONCERNING THEM, FROM THAT WHICH I
S BUT DOUBTFUL AND UNCERTAIN.
0370-FV/1694:027(043) NOW IT IS CERTAIN, THAT THERE IS SUCH A THING AS WE DO CAL
L MATTER; SUCH A THING AS MIND, SUCH A THING AS MOTION; AND THAT MATTER IS ALTER
'D, FIGURED, TEXTUR'D, AND INFINITE WAYS WROUGHT UPON AND MOULDED BY MEANS OF MO
TION.
0371-FV/1694:028(088) AGAIN, IT IS CERTAIN THAT ALL THINGS HAVE NOT MIND IN EQUA
L PROPORTIONS, BUT THAT SOME EXERT THE ACTS OF IT IN A HIGHER WAY AND DEGREE, AN
D SOME IN MORE WAYS FOR KIND THAN OTHERS DO; AND ALSO CERTAIN, THAT THE EXERCISE
S OF ACTS OF MIND IN ALL THE WAYS AND ALL THE DEGREES OF THEM IN CORPOREAL ANIMA
LS, (FOR WE ARE NOT SO WELL ACQUAINTED WITH OTHERS), DO MUCH DEPEND UPON THE NAT
URE AND QUALIFICATIONS OF THEIR ORGANS; THAT IS, UPON TEXTURE AND DISPOSITION OF
 MATTER.
0372-FV/1694:029(020) THESE THINGS WE ARE AS CERTAIN OF, AS THAT OUR SELVES BE,
AND HAVE A TRUE USE OF OUR FACULTIES.
0373-FV/1694:030(076) BUT IF WE ADVANCE FARTHER, AND TO ENDEAVOUR TO ENTER AND P
ENETRATE INTO THE VERY NATURE OF MATTER, INTO THAT OF MIND, AND INTO THE NATURE
OF MOTION; HERE BEING FORSAKEN AND DESTITUTE OF SENSE TO HUNT FOR US, WE ARE MUC
H AT A LOSS, AND AS UNABLE TO PROCEED IN OUR SEARCH AND INQUIRY AFTER THEM, AS T
O THEIR JUST REALITIES, AS WE ARE IN THAT OF THINGS, WHICH ARE WHOLLY OUT OF OUR
 VIEW.
0374-FV/1694:031(029) IT IS HARD TO CONCEIVE JUST WHAT MATTER IS IN ITS OWN POSI
TIVE REALITY; ALSO WHAT MIND IS, AND EVEN WHAT MOTION IS, (AS TAKEN FOR A SUBORD
INATE PRINCIPLE).
0375-FV/1694:032(125) NOR CAN IT BE DEMONSTRATED, THAT (AS SOME WILL HAVE IT) TH
ERE IS ONLY ONE SUBSTANCE IN THE UNIVERSE, AND THAT MATTER AND MIND ARE ONLY SEV
ERAL MODIFICATIONS OF THAT ONE SUBSTANCE; NOR BE DEMONSTRATED, THAT MATTER (FOR
THIS I THINK THEY MEAN BY SUBSTANCE), IS IN ITS OWN NATURE, A VITAL ENERGETICAL
THING; AND THAT THE DIVERSE GRADATIONS OF LIFE, THAT ARE OBSERVED IN THE SEVERAL
 SPECIES OF ANIMALS, ARISE ONLY FROM THE SEVERAL MODIFICATIONS OF MATTER, AND OF
 THAT LIFE OF NATURE (AS THOSE PHILOSOPHERS CALL IT) WHICH IS ESSENTIAL THERETO,
 AND IS THE ROOT OF THOSE PERCEPTIVE, APPETITIVE, AND MOTIVE POWERS THAT DO DRES
S UP BEING IN ALL THE SHAPES AND FORMS IN WHICH IT APPEARS UPON THE STAGE OF THE
 WORLD.
0376-FV/1694:033(019) I WILL NOT BUILD UPON SUCH HYPOTHESIS; WHICH BEING UNEVIDE
NT, MUST NEEDS BE DOUBTFUL AND UNCERTAIN, IF NOT FALSE.
0377-FV/1694:034(039) A PHILOSOPHY THAT SHALL BE SOLID, AND SOUND, MUST HAVE ITS
 GROUND=WORK AND FOUNDATIONS FIRMLY LAID; WHICH NONE CAN HAVE, BUT THAT WHICH IS
 BOTTOMED, RAIS'D AND BUILT UPON EVIDENCE; I MEAN, UPON THE CERTAIN TESTIMONY OF
 OUR FACULTIES.
0378-FV/1694:035(052) AND THEREFORE SINCE OUR FACULTIES DO RATHER GO UPON NOTION
S, THAN ON REALITIES, AND DO PLAINLY DISTINGUISH BETWEEN MIND AND MATTER, AND (A
S I WILL SHOW IN THE PROGRESS OF THIS DISCOURSE) DO CONTRADISTINGUISH THEM, I HO
LD MY SELF OBLIGED TO TREAT OF THESE DISTINCTLY, BUT STILL IN THE REAL NOTIONAL
WAY.
0379-FV/1694:036(016) MIND THEN IS COGITATIVE, THINKING, OR PERCEIVING SUBSTANCE
; OR, MIND IS THE FIRST SUBJECT OF COGITATION.
0380-FV/1694:037(013) MATTER IS EXTENSIVE, SPACIOUS, SUBSTANCE; OR, THE FIRST SU
BJECT OF DIMENSIVE SPACIOUS QUANTITY.
0381-FV/1694:038(012) IN OTHER, BUT EQUIVALENT TERMS; MIND IS ACTIVE SUBSTANCE,
MATTER PASSIVE SUBSTANCE.
0382-FV/1694:039(047) I AFFIRM, THAT THESE LATTER DEFINITIONS ARE EQUIVALENT TO
THE FORMER, BECAUSE, IN EFFECT, IT IS THE SAME TO SAY, THAT MIND IS ACTIVE, AS T
O SAY, IT IS COGITATIVE; AND THE SAME TO SAY, THAT MATTER IS PASSIVE, AS TO SAY,
 IT IS SPATIOUS EXTENSIVE SUBSTANCE.
0383-FV/1694:040(020) NOR IS MIND COGITATION, OR MATTER EXTENSION, AS $DES_CARTE
S MAKES THEM; BUT THE FORMER IS COGITATIVE, THE LATTER EXTENSIVE SUBSTANCE.
0384-FV/1694:041(032) WE FIND A RELUCTANCE IN OUR MINDS TO CONCEIVE THAT COGITAT
ION IS A SUBSTANCE, AS ALSO TO CONCEIVE EXTENSION AS ONE; AND YET WE CANNOT CONC
EIVE MIND AND MATTER BUT AS SUBSTANCES.
0385-FV/1694:042(059) THE MAIN REASON WHY I DO DISTINGUISH SUBSTANCE INTO MIND A
ND MATTER, AS INTO FIRST ORIGINAL KINDS, IS, BECAUSE (AS I HINTED BEFORE) COGITA
TION AND EXTENSION, THAT DO CONSTITUTE THEIR SEVERAL IDEAS, ARE OF NO RELATION O
NE TO ANOTHER, FOR WHAT HATH A THOUGHT TO DO WITH A CUBE, OR A TRIANGLE, OR WITH
 LENGTH, OR BREADTH, OR DEPTH?
0386-FV/1694:043(093) CERTAINLY COGITATION AND EXTENSION ARE QUITE DIFFERENT ACC
IDENTS, WITHOUT ANY THING IN THEIR IDEAS, THAT IS COMMON TO BOTH; AND THEREFORE
THE FIRST SUBJECT OF THE ONE, CANNOT BE CONCEIVED THE FIRST SUBJECT OF THE OTHER
; THEIR SUBJECTS MUST BE SUBSTANCES OF QUITE AS DIFFERENT KINDS AS THEMSELVES AR
E, AT LEAST TO US; SINCE ALL THE DIVERSITY WE CAN CONCEIVE IN SUBSTANCES, IS AND
 MUST BE, TAKEN FROM THE ACCIDENTS THEY HAVE, THESE BEING THE CHARACTERS BY, AND
 UNDER WHICH ALONE, WE DO PERCEIVE AND KNOW, AND BY CONSEQUENCE, CAN ONLY DISTIN
GUISH THEM.
0387-FV/1694:044(052) I INSIST HEREIN THE MORE, FOR THAT MANY THINK THAT MIND IS
 ONLY AN ACCIDENT, AND THAT TAKEN FOR A SUBSTANCE, IT IS UNINTELLIGIBLE, AND A M
ERE CHIMERA: SO THAT, THO' MATTER IS ACKNOWLEDGED (BY THEM) TO BE A SUBSTANCE, I
T WILL NOT BE YIELDED, THAT ABSTRACT, SEPARATE MIND CAN BE ONE.
0388-FV/1694:045(036) BUT THOSE THAT THINK IT SO, IF THEY CONSIDER'D, THAT MEN H
AVE NO CONCEPTION OF SUBSTANCE, NOR CAN HAVE ANY OF IT, BUT AS IT IS A SUBJECT O
F ACCIDENTS, THEY WOULD SOON CHANGE THEIR OPINION.
0389-FV/1694:046(033) FOR THE ACCIDENT OF COGITATION, OR OF ACTIVITY, THAT MIND
IS THE SUBJECT OF, IS AS DISTINCTLY AND CLEARLY CONCEIVEABLE, AS THAT OF EXTENSI
ON, OR OF PASSIVITY, WHICH MATTER IS THE SUBJECT OF.
0390-FV/1694:047(037) NOR IS THE THING IT SELF THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF EXTENSION,
 OR OF PASSIVITY; AND MORE CONCEIVEABLE BUT BY, AND UNDER THIS; THAT IS, THE SUB
STANCE OF MIND AND MATTER ARE EQUALLY CONCEIVEABLE, AND EQUALLY UNCONCEIVEABLE.

0391-FV/1694:048(047) THEY KNOW NO MORE WHAT THAT IS IN IT SELF, THAT IS EXTENDE
D, THAN WHAT THAT IS, THAT IS COGITATIVE; AND MAY BE AS SURE, THAT THEY DO THINK
, AS THEY ARE, THAT THEY ARE SPACIOUS, AY, THEY CANNOT KNOW THAT THEY ARE SPACIO
US, BUT BY THINKING.
0392-FV/1694:049(031) BUT OF SPATIOSITY OR EXTENSION, (THE ACCIDENT THAT CONSTIT
UTES MATTER), I SHALL HAVE OCCASION TO DISCOURSE HEREAFTER, WHEN I COME TO SPEAK
 OF QUANTITY, I PROCEED NOW TO DISCOURSE OF MIND.
0393-FV/1694:050(097) THE IDEA I HAVE GIVEN OF MIND, THAT IT IS THE IMMEDIATE SU
BJECT, OR (AS OTHERS PERHAPS WOULD CHUSE TO SAY) THE IMMEDIATE PRINCIPLE, OF COG
ITATION, ENERGY, OR ACTIVITY, IS MUCH MORE EASY TO BE CONCEIVED THAN THAT OF $SP
INOSA, WHEN HE DEFINES THE HUMAN MIND TO BE THE IDEA OF A BODY, OR THING, ACTUAL
LY EXISTING: FOR MIND, EVEN THE HUMAN, IS NOT SO PROPERLY SAID TO BE AN IDEA, AS
 TO BE THE PRINCIPLE, OUR CAUSE EFFICIENT, OF IDEAS; SINCE ALL IDEAS (EVEN IN CO
MMON SENSE) ARE CONCEIVED; AND MIND IS THAT, WHICH CONCEIVES THEM.
0394-FV/1694:051(051) THUS IT IS IN OUR REFRACTED, INADEQUATE, REAL=NOTIONAL WAY
 OF CONCEIVING; AND FOR AN ADEQUATE AND JUST ONE, AS IT IS ABOVE OUR FACULTIES,
SO I DO NOT FIND THAT $SPINOSA, OR $MAL_BRANCHE AFTER ALL THEIR AMBITIOUS RESEAR
CHES IN THAT HIGHER WAY, HAVE EDIFIED THE WORLD THEREBY TO ANY GREAT DEGREE.
0395-FV/1694:052(022) THIS WAY OF SEEING ALL THINGS IN $GOD, AND IN THEIR OWN PR
OPER REALITIES, IS A WAY MUCH OUT OF THE WAY.
0396-FV/1694:053(017) OTHERWISE, WHEN THEY KEEP THE LOWER WAY OF SENSE, MANY OF
THEIR THOUGHTS ARE SURPRIZING, AND EXCELLENT.
0397-FY/1694:001(016) THEY ARE SELDOM WELL CULL'D, THOSE FROM THE MEN IMPUDENT A
ND ASSUMING, FROM THE WOMEN IMPERTINENT.
0398-FY/1694:002(203) AND YOU MUST SIT BY THE HOUR TO HEAR THIS LADY WITH AN AFF
ECTED NOISE RALLY ALL THE ABSENT SHE OR YOU KNOW; FANCYING HER SELF TO HAVE ABUN
DANCE OF WIT, BECAUSE SHE TALKS MUCH, AND ILL OF E'RY BODY; OR TO HEAR ANOTHER P
RAISE ALL THE SPARKS SHE SAW LAST NIGHT IN THE $MALL, DRAWING=ROOM, AND DESCRIBE
 ALL THE MANTO'S AND PETTICOATS THAT WERE THERE (THO' THERE ARE FEW GUILTY OF TH
AT GOOD NATUR'D FOLLY OF SPEAKING WELL OF E'RY ONE) TO HEAR THIS OLD LADY THAT W
ILL LET NOTHING BE MENTION'D BUT THE INTRIGUES OF HER YOUNGER DAYS, OR AT LEAST
THE MANY ADORERS SHE HAS HAD, AND THE SEVERAL EFFECTS OF THEIR DESPERATE PASSION
S; OR WHAT STRATAGEMS THE FOUR HUSBANDS SHE HAS ALREADY BURY'D, US'D TO OBTAIN H
ER LADYSHIP'S RESERV'D AFFECTIONS; NOT OMITTING MANY TIMES THOSE OF FIFTY TIMES
THE NUMBER OF GALLANTS; AND THO' SHE BE IN HER KINGDOM, WHEN YOU TALK OF LOVE, Y
ET SHE'LL NEVER PERMIT ANY MENTION OF ANY OF YOUR MODERN AMOURS INTO COMPETITION
 WITH THOSE OF HER DAYS; AND THO' SHE CAN'T ACT THEM OVER AGAIN, SHE'LL HAVE THE
 VANITY TO MAKE YOU SEE SHE WANTS NOT THE DESIRE, THO' SHE DOES THE POWER.
0399-FY/1694:003(112) TO HEAR THAT COQUET TELL YOU ALL THE NEWS OF THE TOWN, WHO
 LOVES WHO, WHAT ADVENTURE HAPPEN'D TO SUCH A LADY LAST NIGHT, WHAT LOVES ARE FA
LSE, AND WHO THE FITTEST TO BE TRUSTED WITH A LADY'S FAVOURS; FAIRLY INTIMATING,
 THAT ALL THE COMPANY SHE KEEPS, IS ONLY TO FIND OUT ONE SHE MAY ENTRUST WITH HE
R HEART, AND LOOSER WISHES; AND THERE SHE IS GENERALLY DECEIV'D, AND QUITS THE S
TAGE AS SHE HAS ACTED ON IT, WITH NOISE AND AFFECTATI0N, WITH A LOUD REPORT, AND
 ROTTEN CREDIT, IF NOT PERSON, AND A CRAZY FORTUNE, WITH A PAINTED FACE TO KEEP
UP THE OPINION THAT SHE HAS BEEN HANDSOME, THOUGH UNFORTUNATE.
0400-FY/1694:004(067) THIS LADY FOR THE REPUTATION OF A GOOD HUMOUR'D WOMAN, WIL
L BE PERPETUALLY LAUGHING AND TALKING; THAT, TO PASS FOR VIRTUOUS, WILL BE ETERN
ALLY RAILING AT VICE IN COMPANY, CONDEMNING THIS OR THAT LADY BY NAME, NEVER REC
K'NING DETRACTION IN THE NUMBER OF VICES, THO' IT COMMIT AS GREAT A MURDER AS A
STAB IN THE HEART, KILLING THE GOOD NAME AND REPUTATION, WHICH HAS NO RESURRECTI
ON.
0401-FY/1694:005(017) AND INDEED THESE PUBLICK DECOYS ARE COMPOUNDED OF AFFECTED
 CARRIAGE, CONFIDENT DISCOURSE, MIGHTY PRETENSIONS, AND EXCESSIVE CENSORIOUSNESS
.
0402-FY/1694:006(016) BUT, MY DEAR, WE HAVE FRIENDS, INTIMATE DEAR CREATURES, TH
AT UNBOSOM ALL THEIR SECRETS TO ONE.
0403-FY/1694:007(119) AY, AND TO E'RY ONE THEY KNOW, YOU ARE NOT OBLIG'D TO THEI
R CONFIDENCE IN YOU FOR THAT, BUT THEIR NATURAL WEAKNESS, WHO CAN LET NOTHING BE
 SECRET THEY KNOW, THO' IT CONCERN THEMSELVES: BESIDES, BY THIS INTIMACY, THEY G
AIN YOUR GOOD OPINION, AS FRIENDS IN WHOM YOU MAY CONFIDE, AND SO FURNISH THEM W
ITH TALK FOR THE NEXT INTIMATE FRIEND THEY COME TO, THAT IS ALL THEIR ACQUAINTAN
CE; IF YOU TELL 'EM ANY SECRET OF YOUR OWN, 'TIS SO NO LONGER THAN THEY ARE IN Y
OUR COMPANY; SOON AFTER THEY ARE GONE, THEY WHISPER IT TO ONE, AND TO ANOTHER, '
TILL IT REBOUND TO YOUR SELF AGAIN BY A THIRD DEAR FRIEND, TO CONFIRM HER INTERE
ST WITH YOU.
0404-FY/1694:008(063) AS I LIVE, MY DEAR, THAT'S TRUE, FOR I TOLD MRS $FONDALL,
I THOUGHT MY YOUNG LORD $EASY WAS IN LOVE WITH ME, AS A GREAT SECRET, AND I HAD
IT IN THREE DAYS' TIME FROM HIS OWN MOUTH, WHICH PUT ME TO THE BLUSH, I PROFESS,
 AND MADE ME SO ASHAM'D, THAT I COU'D NOT GO TO THE $MALL IN A WEEK.
0405-FY/1694:009(123) TIS TOO NATURAL, OR AT LEAST TOO CUSTOMARY; WHICH SOME ARE
 OF OPINION IS ALL ONE: BUT BESIDES THEIR FOLLIES AND IMPERTINENCIES, THEY BRING
 DANGER IN THEIR VISITS; AND ONE CAN SCARCE ADMIT OF ONE MAN OF A THOUSAND, WITH
OUT EXPOSING ONE'S NAME TO BE THE DISCOURSE OF ALL THE COMPANIES HE KEEPS; THEY
GENERALLY WATCH YOUR EYES, AND WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF E'RY GLANCE, FROM INNOCEN
T LOOKS DRAWING WHAT CONCLUSIONS THEY PLEASE; THEY ARE LIVING LIBELS, THAT MAKE
IT THEIR BUSINESS TO OBSERVE AND ENQUIRE INTO E'RY LITTLE MINUTE CIRCUMSTANCE OF
 ONE'S BEHAVIOUR, MAKING A JUDGMENT FROM THENCE; AND FOR THEIR DIVERSION IN THE
NEXT COMPANY THEY COME INTO, TELL THAT FOR CERTAIN, WHICH IS ONLY THE CHILD OF T
HEIR IMAGINATION.
0406-FY/1694:010(047) IF ON ANY OCCASION ONE WHISPER, 'TIS CERTAINLY INTRIGUE; I
F ONE LOOK ON 'EM 'TIS LOVE, AND ADMIRATION, AND THE IMPATIENT EFFECT OF DESIRE:
 IF ONE DO NOT, 'TIS STILL LOVE, ONLY SHAME WILL NOT LET ONE BEHOLD THE OBJECT O
F ONE'S CONCEAL'D PASSION, WITHOUT DISCOVERING IT.
0407-FY/1694:011(017) IF ONE IS UNEASY AT THE INTOLERABLE NONSENSE OF THEIR DISC
OURSE, 'TIS STILL THE EFFECT OF LOVE.
0408-FY/1694:012(130) OTHERS, THAT HAVE ONCE GOT AN ACQUAINTANCE WITH ONE, WILL
PURSUE ONE TO E'RY PLACE ONE GOES TO; THE $PARK, THE $MALL, THE VISITS ONE MAKES
, THE PLAYS, THE DRAWING=ROOM, OR WHERE=EVER IT IS, SHALL BE SURE TO FIND THE DI
LIGENT FOPS, AND THEN THEY'LL TALK TO ONE WHETHER ONE WILL OR NO; AND NEVER LOOK
 ON ONE BUT WITH THE MOST LANGUISHING DYING EYES; 'TILL HAVING PUBLISH'D THEIR P
ASSION, AND SHEW'D A HUNDRED IMPUDENT FAMILIARITIES WITH ONE IN E'RY PLACE; THE
WORLD SUSPECT ONE'S REPUTATION, WHICH ALWAYS IMPROVES A SUSPICION INTO A CONCLUS
IVE JUDGMENT; AND 'TIS WELL IF THEIR IMPORTUNITY GAIN NOT ONE'S SELF INTO THE DE
SIGN AGAINST ONE'S SELF; FOR SHE THAT WILL (AND FEW BUT DO) GIVE OPPORTUNITIES O
F ADDRESS, WILL NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO RESIST.
0409-FY/1694:013(011) YOU WILL NOT SURE CONDEMN ALL CONVERSATION, IS VISITING SO
 CRIMINAL?
0410-FY/1694:014(061) YES, AS IN USE NOW IN TOWN, WHERE 'TIS GENERALLY ONLY ON D
ESIGN BOTH IN MEN AND WOMEN, THOUGH I KNOW SOME LADIES MAKE THEIR HOUSES LIKE TH
E CHANGE AT NOON, OR THE DRAWING=ROOM AT THE KING'S LEVEE, OR COUCHEE, FULL OF H
URRY AND COMPANY; LIKE MY LADY $TOWNLY IN "SIR $FOPLING_FLUTTER", THEY ARE SUCH
LOVERS OF NOISY CONVERSATION, AND NEWS.
0411-FY/1694:015(027) I AM OF OPINION 'TIS BETTER CONVERSING WITH THE DEAD THAN
THE LIVING OF THAT SEX; BOTH BECAUSE 'TIS SAFER, AND AFFORDS MORE PLEASURE, BECA
USE MORE WIT.
0412-FY/1694:016(089) AND AS FOR YOUR PLEASURE OF DRESSING, I CAN NEVER IMAGINE
IT RECOMPENCES THE PAIN; FOR WHAT FRETTING AND FUMING IS THERE, IF A POINT BE IL
L WASH'D, KNOTS AND COMMODE SPOIL'D IN THE MAKING UP, BESIDES THE DAILY PENANCE
OF SITTING THREE OR FOUR HOURS UNDER YOUR MAIDS HANDS, WITH THE SUPERNUMERARY PL
AGUE OF HER NONSENSICAL CHAT; AND ALL THIS MERELY FOR THE ENJOYMENT OF THESE BEN
EFITS I HAVE RUN THROUGH, AND THE REMAINING ONE OF LOVE AND INTRIGUE, WHICH IS T
HE SILLIEST, AND MOST PERNICIOUS OF ALL.
0413-FY/1694:017(086) OH, MY DEAR, NEVER SPEAK AGAINST INTRIGUE, 'TIS THE PLEASA
NTEST THING IN THE WORLD TO BANTER THE MEN WITH THE THOUGHTS OF WHAT A PASSION W
E HAVE FOR THEM; PUT THEM TO THE EXPENCE OF TREATS, AND BRIBES TO ONE'S SERVANTS
, AND THEN MAKE 'EM WAIT A HUNDRED ASSIGNATIONS, AND DISAPPOINT THEM IN ALL; YET
 STILL KEEP 'EM IN CHASE OF YOU AS LONG AS YOU PLEASE, AND PUT THEM OFF AT LAST,
 WHEN THEY HAVE SPENT SO MANY SOLICITOUS DAYS, AND WATCHFUL NIGHTS AFTER YOU.
0414-FY/1694:018(108) AH, THOU ART AS MUCH OUT IN THY POLITICKS, AS A NIGGARDLY
FATHER IS, IN THINKING TO RESTRAIN THE PROFUSENESS OF HIS SPENDTHRIFT=SON, BY LE
SSNING HIS ALLOWANCE, AS LONG AS THERE ARE ANY OF THOSE KIND GENTLEMEN IN TOWN,
THAT HAVE THE GOOD NATURE OF $STIFTEAD TO SUPPLY HIS WANTS; FOR MEN ARE NOT SO E
ASILY DELUDED IN THEIR PURSUITS OF AN AMOUR, WHICH WHEN YOU ONCE INGAGE IN WITH
THEM, THEY SOON BECOME MASTERS, AND AS SOON AS OBTAIN'D, SLIGHT AND SCORN YOU; A
ND LIKE $DORIMANT IN "SIR $FOPLING_FLUTTER", <ESTEEM A QUARREL WITH AN OLD MISTR
ISS, NEXT TO THE COMING TO A GOOD UNDERSTANDING WITH A NEW>.
0415-FY/1694:019(024) PERHAPS THEY GIVE SOME PUBLICK AFFRONT, OR RUIN A LADY'S R
EPUTATION FOR A JEST, OR THE VAIN=GLORY OF BEING THOUGHT SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR AMO
URS.
0416-FY/1694:020(032) RATHER THAN WANT A QUARREL, THEY'LL PRETEND FALSENESS ON Y
OUR SIDE, AND LAY AN IMAGINARY INTRIGUE TO YOUR CHARGE, THAT THEY MAY SEEM THE M
ORE INNOCENT, AND THE MORE PLAUSIBLY BREAK OFF.
0417-FY/1694:021(063) BUT THEN THE CONSEQUENCE OF THIS IS PERHAPS A CHILD, AND T
O BE CAST OFF BY YOUR RELATIONS, FORC'D TO PROSTITUTE YOUR SELF FOR A LIVING, OR
 MARRY SOME FOOT=MAN, OR SOLDIER, FOLLOW THE CAMP, AND DIE IN AN HOSPITAL; AT BE
ST IN AN OLD TATTER'D MANTO, CARRYING NEWS ABOUT, FROM ONE ACQUAINTANCE TO ANOTH
ER, FOR A MEALS=MEAT, AND A GLASS OF WINE.
0418-FY/1694:022(022) IF THERE BE ANY THING DELIGHTFUL, 'TIS BUT SHORT, AND FULL
 OF FATIGUE, AND ATTENDED WITH CERTAIN RUIN OF FORTUNE AND FAME.
0419-FY/1694:023(020) THE WOMEN NEED NOT SEEK THEIR UNDOING THEMSELVES, AS THEY
DO, FOR THE MEN LAY STRATAGEMS ENOUGH TO RUIN 'EM.
0420-FY/1694:024(033) THE $INDIAN=WOMEN, THE SEMPSTRESS, AND OTHERS THAT YOU BUY
 ANY THING OF, ARE OFTEN EMPLOY'D TO BETRAY YOU TO THE CONVERSATION OF THOSE WHO
 WANT BUT OPPORTUNITY TO PERSWADE YOU TO YOUR RUIN.
0421-FY/1694:025(049) BAWDS ARE NOW COMPANY FOR LADIES OF QUALITY, AND BY THEIR
GARBS AND DEPENDANTS CAN'T BE DISTINGUISH'D; SO THAT THERE IS NO PLACE NOR COMPA
NY SECURE FOR A HANDSOME WOMAN, SINGLE, OR MARRY'D IN THIS TOWN; THE MORE INNOCE
NT, THE MORE EASILY BETRAY'D BY THESE CUNNING TRADERS IN INTRIGUE.
0422-EQ/1695:001(030) OTHERS THERE ARE THAT USE TO REPRESENT, THAT THEY SWEAR NO
T BUT WHEN THEY ARE ANGRY; AND THEN (FOR ALL OUR CLAMOURS AND EXAGGERATIONS) THE
Y MEAN NO HARM AT ALL.
0423-EQ/1695:002(038) BUT WOULD YOU TAKE IT FOR A JUSTIFICATION OF YOUR WIFE'S A
DULTERIES, IF SHE SHOULD TELL YOU, THAT SHE NEVER PROSTITUTES HER SELF, BUT WHEN
 HER FITS OF LUST TEMPT HER TO GIVE THAT SATISFACTION TO HER APPETITE?
0424-EQ/1695:003(095) BESIDES, THIS IS BUT TO EXCUSE ONE FAULT WITH ANOTHER; AND
 WITH NO GREATER JUSTICE, THAN HIS THAT SHOULD DEFEND A BASTARD'S CRIMES, BY ALL
EDGING THAT HIS MOTHER WAS A WHORE; SINCE THE NATURE AS WELL AS THE DUTY OF VIRT
UE BEING THE MODERATION OF OUR PASSIONS, IT IS EVIDENT THAT THEIR EXCESSES DEGEN
ERATE INTO SINS; AND THEREFORE HOW THAT CAN BE A GOOD EXCUSE THAT NEEDS ONE, AND
 HOW THAT ANGER WHICH IN IT SELF IS SINFUL, CAN IMPART AN INNOCENCE TO PRODUCTIO
NS IN THEIR OWN NATURE CULPABLE, LET THOSE THAT ARE CONCERNED DETERMINE.
0425-EQ/1695:004(046) FOR MY PART, WHEN I CONSIDER THE APOSTLE'S COMMAND, <BE YE
 ANGRY, AND SIN NOT>; I CANNOT BUT APPREHEND, THAT WHEN OUR PASSIONS SWELL INTO
EXCESS, THEY ARE INDEED CONTAMINATED BY THE GUILTINESS OF THEIR PRODUCTIONS, BUT
 CONFER NOT UPON THEM A MERITORIOUSNESS WHICH THEMSELVES WANT.
0426-EQ/1695:005(052) BUT WHY, I PRAY, IN EVERY PASSIONATE MOOD, MUST YOU BE TRA
NSPORTED TO COMMIT SINS THAT ARE AS UNPROFITABLE AS IMPIOUS; AND TO DESERVE YOUR
 CROSSES, BY A SAWCY PROVOCATION OF YOUR GOD, WHOM YOU THEN ENDEAVOUR TO MAKE YO
UR ENEMY, WHEN YOU MOST NEED HIS FAVOUR TO PROTECT YOU FROM DISQUIETS?
0427-EQ/1695:006(023) WHY MUST YOUR TONGUE FLY IN YOUR MAKER'S FACE, AND VILIFY
HIS SACRED NAME, BECAUSE YOUR DICE TURN UP SIZE=ACE RATHER THAN QUATRE=TREY?
0428-EQ/1695:007(070) FOR EITHER HE IS THE GUIDER OF THOSE SEEMING CHANCES, OR M
EDDLES NOT WITH THEIR DISPOSAL: IN THIS LAST CASE YOU ARE PALPABLY INJURIOUS, TO
 MAKE $GOD THE OBJECT OF YOUR CHOLER, WHEN HE IS NOT THE CAUSE OF IT; AND IN THE
 FORMER CASE YOUR FOLLY IS NOT INFERIOR, INSTEAD OF PROPITIATING, TO INCENSE THA
T DEITY, WHO IS THE SOLE DISPOSER OF THOSE FORTUNES WE EITHER WISH OR FEAR.
0429-EQ/1695:008(039) BUT TAKE HEED HE GIVE YOU NOT TOO MUCH PRETENCE TO BE SO,
BY DISPLEASING YOU, (AS DISCREET MOTHERS WHIP THEIR FROWARD CHILDREN THAT CRY WI
THOUT CAUSE) AND PUNISH IN HIS ANGER THESE RASH AND CULPABLE EXPRESSIONS OF YOUR
S.
0430-EQ/1695:009(044) AS FOR THE OTHER BRANCH OF THE EXCUSE, I MEAN THE HARMLESS
NESS OF YOUR INTENT; TO THAT I MUST REPLY, THAT OUR ACTIONS MAY AS WELL OFFEND A
S OUR INTENTS, IF THEY BE SUBSEQUENT TO OUR KNOWLEDGE OF $GOD'S AVERSION TO WHAT
 WE DO.
0431-EQ/1695:010(023) AND USUALLY MEN TAKE IT FOR A SUFFICIENT OFFENCE, TO DO WH
AT WE ARE SURE WILL DISOBLIGE THEM, THO WITH A DIFFERING DESIGN.
0432-EQ/1695:011(035) NOR DO WE THINK OUR SELVES LESS INJURED BY ROBBERS WHEN TH
EY STRIP US, BECAUSE THEY OFFER US THAT VIOLENCE, NOT WITH INTENT TO ANGER US, B
UT ONLY TO MAKE A BOOTY OF OUR PURSES.
0433-EQ/1695:012(029) 'TIS A RECEIVED MAXIM IN DIVINITY WHICH MORALISTS PROP WIT
H THEIR FULL CONCURRENCE, THAT NO GOODNESS (MUCH LESS BARE INNOCENCE) OF THE INT
ENT CAN JUSTIFY A FORMAL SINFUL EVIL.
0434-EQ/1695:013(029) IF THEN THE COMMITTING OF THIS SIN AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE O
F THE ILL YOU ACT, BE NOT CRIME ENOUGH TO CONDEMN YOU, YOU MUST NOT BE DENY'D MY
 ABSOLUTION.
0435-EQ/1695:014(059) BUT WITHAL, I MUST ACQUIT MOST SINNERS IN THE WORLD UPON T
HE SELF=SAME SCORE; AND BELIEVE THE THREATENED FLAMES OF HELL AS UNINHABITED AS
INSUPPORTABLE; SINCE CERTAINLY SUCH SINNERS (IF ANY SUCH THERE BE) MUST BE PRODI
GIOUS NO LESS FOR THEIR UNEQUAL'D RARITY, THAN DEVILISH PERVERSENESS, THAT ARE S
UCH MONSTERS AS TO OFFEND THEIR MAKER, MERELY TO OFFEND HIM.
0436-EQ/1695:015(055) FOR IN PHILOSOPOHY OUR MASTERS TEACH US, THAT ILL UNDER TH
AT NOTION CANNOT BE THE OBJECT OF OUR CHOICE; (THAT BEING EVER A REAL, OR AT LEA
ST A SEEMING GOOD); AND THO IN OUR MISGUIDED ELECTIONS WE OFTENTIMES EMBRACE IT,
 YET THAT IS EVER UNDER A CONTRARY NOTION, AND RATHER BY MISTAKE THAN BY DESIGN.

0437-EQ/1695:016(070) BUT OH, HOW INDUSTRIOUS ARE SINNERS TO DECEIVE THEMSELVES;
 AND HOW STRANGELY DOES THE DEVIL FASCINATE AND BLIND DELUDED MORTALS, WHEN (BY
SUCH SILLY AND IMPERTINENT EXCUSES) HE PERSUADES THEM RATHER TO EXPOSE THEIR JUD
GMENTS TO A CERTAIN DISCREDIT, THAN LET THEIR SOULS BE RANSOM'D FROM AN IGNOBLE
SLAVERY, INTO A GLORIOUS FREEDOM; AND RATHER SUFFER THEIR ABILITIES TO BE BELIEV
ED WEAK, THAN PERMIT THEIR LIVES TO BE MADE VIRTUOUS.
0438-EQ/1695:017(075) CERTAINLY, SUCH PEOPLE WOULD MAKE ME AS MUCH ASTONISH'D AS
 THEMSELVES ARE FAULTY, IF I DID NOT CONSIDER THIS GALLANT PROPERTY, OF RATHER M
AKING BAD APOLOGIES TO DEFEND THEIR SINS, THAN GOOD RESOLUTIONS TO FORSAKE THEM,
 AS INTAIL'D UPON THEM BY A KIND OF TRADUCTION FROM OUR FIRST PARENTS, WHO HOPED
 WITH FIG=LEAVE APRONS, AND THE FAINT SHADE OF TREES, TO HIDE BOTH THEIR NAKEDNE
SS AND THEIR DISOBEDIENCE FROM THE OMNISCIENT EYE OF $GOD HIMSELF.
0439-EQ/1695:018(067) I WILL NOT WASTE INK UPON THEIR SUCCESSLESS AND IMPUDENT D
EFENCE, THAT MAKE THEIR DRUNKENNESS AN APOLOGY FOR THEIR SWEARING, AND MAKE THAT
 AN EXCUSE FOR THEIR SIN, WHICH IS IT SELF A SIN ABOVE EXCUSE; BUT WITH AS LITTL
E JUSTICE, AS THE KEEPER OF THE LIONS IN THE $TOWER COULD EXCUSE ANY PARTICULAR
TRAGEDY THEY HAD ACTED, BY ALLEDGING THAT HE HAD VOLUNTARILY LET THEM LOOSE.
0440-EQ/1695:019(072) BUT SINCE THE TEMPERS THAT MOST DISPOSE MEN TO A FLUX OF O
ATHS, ARE DRUNKENNESS AND CHOLER, GIVE ME LEAVE BY THE BY, TO TAKE NOTICE OF THE
 CHIEF MIDWIVES THAT ARE USUALLY ASSISTANT TO THE BIRTH OF OATHS; AND TO OBSERVE
, THAT AS THE THUNDER FALLS NOT, BUT WHEN HEAVEN IS OVER=CAST, SO WE ARE PRONEST
 TO SWEAR, WHEN THE BEASTLINESS OF OUR PASSIONS HATH EITHER BLINDED OR DEPOSED O
UR REASON.
0441-EQ/1695:020(040) 'TIS CONFEST, YOU MAY ALLEDGE, THAT SWEARING IS A MOST HEI
NOUS SIN, BUT I DO NEVER SWEAR MY SELF, BUT ONLY TO REPEAT THOSE OATHS OF ANOTHE
R (WHICH ARE THEREFORE HIS SINS NOT MINE) WHOSE OMISSION WOULD SPOIL THE JEST.
0442-FT/1695:001(101) 'TIS MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND OUT THE ORIGINAL OF THE $SCOTS
, OR THE TIME OF THEIR ENTRANCE UPON THOSE NORTHWEST REGIONS; BUT AS FAR AS CAN
BE GATHERED OUT OF THE DUST OR RUBBISH OF SUCH BARBAROUS TIMES AND WRITINGS, AND
 WHAT REMAINS STILL OF KNOWN APPELLATIONS AND EVENTS, IT SEEMS PROBABLE, THAT VA
ST NUMBERS OF A SAVAGE PEOPLE, CALLED $SCYTHS, AT SOME CERTAIN TIME, BEGAN AND A
CHIEVED THE CONQUEST OF THE NORTHERN PARTS BOTH OF $BRITAIN AND $IRELAND, AND BY
 AN EASY CHANGE OF THE WORD, WERE CALLED $SCOTS; AND FROM THEM, THOSE TWO COUNTR
IES WERE CALLED $SCOTIA_MAJOR, AND $SCOTIA_MINOR.
0443-FT/1695:002(048) WHETHER THE $SCOTS LANDED FIRST IN $IRELAND OR $SCOTLAND,
I LEAVE DISPUTED AND UNDETERMINED AMONG THEIR AUTHORS: BUT IT SEEMS AGREED, THAT
 BOTH THOSE COUNTRIES WERE FOR SOME COURSE OF TIME, STILED $SCOTIAE, AND THAT BO
TH THE NORTHWEST PARTS OF $SCOTLAND AS WELL AS $IRELAND, WERE CALLED $IERNE.
0444-FT/1695:003(100) I AM APT TO CONJECTURE, THAT WHEN THESE $SCOTS SEATED THEM
SELVES IN THOSE PARTS OF $SCOTLAND, THEY DIVIDED THEMSELVES INTO TWO RACES OR NA
TIONS, WHEREOF THOSE WHO INHABITED THE NORTHEAST PARTS, CALLED THEMSELVES $ALBIN
=SCOTS, THE NAME OF THE NATIVES THERE, BEING THEN $ALBINS; AND THE REST WHO POSS
ESSED THE NORTHWEST PARTS WERE CALLED $IREN=SCOTS, FROM A RIVER OF THAT COUNTRY,
 WHICH GAVE IT THE NAME OF $IERNE; AND THIS NAME WAS COMMUNICATED TO ALL THE RES
T OF THAT RACE, WHO CONQUERED AND POSSESSED THE NORTH OF $IRELAND, WHICH FROM TH
EM WAS STILED BY THE $SAXONS $IREN=LAND, AND BY ABBREVIATION, $IRELAND.
0445-FT/1695:004(042) AND THE ORIGINAL NAME SEEMS TO HAVE BELONGED RATHER TO THO
SE PARTS OF $SCOTLAND THAN $IRELAND, SINCE IT IS GIVEN US BY THE ANCIENTEST $LAT
IN VERSE THAT MENTIONS IT, WITH THE EPITHET OF $GLACIALIS_IERNE, WHICH AGREES LI
TTLE WITH THE CLYMATE OF $IRELAND.
0446-FT/1695:005(090) THAT THESE FIERCE INVADERS WERE $SCYTHIANS OR $SCYTHS (WHI
CH WAS THEIR VULGAR TERMINATION) IS PROBABLY CONJECTURED, IF NOT ASCERTAINED, NO
T ONLY FROM THEIR NAME, BUT FROM THE SEAT OF THAT CONTINENT, WHICH IS NEAREST TO
 THE NORTH OF $SCOTLAND: THIS IS $NORWAY, AND IS THE UTMOST WESTERN PROVINCE OF
THAT VAST NORTHERN REGION WHICH EXTENDS FROM THENCE TO THE FARTHEST BOUNDS OF $T
ARTARY UPON THE EASTERN OCEAN, AND WAS BY THE ANCIENTS COMPREHENDED IN THAT GENE
RAL APPELLATION OF $SCYTHIA, AS WELL AS DIVIDED INTO SEVERAL OTHER BARBAROUS NAM
ES AND COUNTRIES.
0447-FT/1695:006(087) BESIDES, 'TIS BOTH USUAL AND RATIONAL, THAT SUCH GREAT TRA
NSMIGRATIONS OF PEOPLE SHOULD BE MADE FROM A WORSE TO A BETTER CLIMATE OR SOIL,
RATHER THAN TO A WORSE, WHICH MAKES THIS PROBABLE, TO HAVE PROCEEDED FROM $NORWA
Y, THAN FROM LOWER AND MORE FERTILE PARTS OF $GERMANY, AND THE ISLAND WHICH IS T
HE NEAREST PART OF LAND TO THAT CONTINENT OF $NORWAY, RETAINS STILL THE NAME OF
$SCHETLAND, AS THE FIRST POINT WHICH IS REPORTED TO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED BY THE $SC
OTS, OR $SCYTHS, IN THIS NAVIGATION.
0448-FT/1695:007(077) ANOTHER ARGUMENT MAY BE DRAWN FROM SEVERAL CUSTOMS STILL R
EMAINING AMONG THE OLD NORTHERN $IRISH, WHICH ARE RECORDED TO HAVE BEEN ANCIENTL
Y AMONG SOME OF THE $SCYTHIAN NATIONS, REMOVING THEIR HOUSES OR CREATS, FROM ONE
 PLACE TO ANOTHER ACCORDING TO THE SEASONS: BURNING OF THEIR CORN INSTEAD OF BEA
TING OR TREADING IN OTHER COUNTRIES: EATING BLOOD THEY DREW FROM LIVING CATTLE;
FEEDING GENERALLY UPON MILK, AND USING LITTLE OTHER HUSBANDRY, BESIDES THE PASTU
RE AND BREED OF CATTLE.
0449-FT/1695:008(033) TO THIS IS ADDED, THAT THE MANTLE OR PLAID, SEEMS TO HAVE
BEEN THE GARMENT IN USE AMONG THE WESTERN $SCYTHIANS, AS THEY CONTINUE STILL AMO
NG THE NORTHERN $IRISH, AND THE HIGHLAND $SCOTS.
0450-FT/1695:009(094) FOR THEIR LANGUAGE, IT MUST BE CONFESS'D, THERE IS NOT LEF
T THE LEAST TRACE BY WHICH WE MAY SEEK OUT THE ORIGINAL OF THIS NATION; FOR IT I
S NEITHER KNOWN, NOR RECORDED TO HAVE BEEN USED ANY WHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, BES
IDES $IRELAND, THE HIGH=LANDS OF $SCOTLAND, AND THE ISLE OF $MAN, AND MUST BE AL
LOWED TO BE AN ORIGINAL LANGUAGE, WITHOUT ANY AFFINITY TO THE OLD $BRITISH, OR A
NY OTHER UPON THE CONTINENT, AND PERHAPS WITH LESS MIXTURE, THAN ANY OTHER OF TH
OSE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES YET REMAINING IN ANY PARTS OF $EUROPE.
0451-FT/1695:010(104) THE CONJECTURE RAISED OF ITS HAVING COME FROM $SPAIN, BECA
USE SOME $SPANISH WORDS ARE OBSERVED IN IT, APPEARS TOO LIGHT TO BE REGARDED, WH
EN THOSE VERY WORDS ARE OF THE MODERN $SPANISH, WHICH IS A LANGUAGE NOT ABOVE SE
VEN OR EIGHT HUNDRED YEARS OLD, AND COMPOUNDED CHIEFLY OUT OF OLD $ROMAN AND $GO
THICK, WITH A LATER INTRUSION OF THE $SARACEN AMONG THEM: AND YET I KNOW NO BETT
ER GROUND THAN THIS, FOR THE OTHER TRADITION OF $IRELAND HAVING BEEN ANCIENTLY P
LANTED FROM $SPAIN, AND ESTEEM THE FEW $SPANISH WORDS TO HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED ON
LY BY TRAFFICK OF THE SOUTH=WEST PARTS OF $IRELAND TO $SPAIN.
0452-FT/1695:011(088) IT SEEMS PROBABLE, THAT FROM WHAT PART SOEVER OF THE CONTI
NENT THIS NATION SAILED UPON THIS ADVENTURE, THEY WERE DRIVEN AWAY BY THE FORCE
OR FEAR OF SOME OTHER INVADERS, AND IN SO GREAT NUMBERS, THAT THE NATIVES REMAIN
ING, NEITHER PRESERVED ANY WHERE THEIR NAME OR LANGUAGE, BUT WERE EITHER DESTROY
'D BY THE CONQUERORS, OR BLENDED INTO THE MASS OF THE NEW NATIONS, WHO SEATED TH
EMSELVES IN THEIR COUNTRY, AS WE FIND THE OLD $BRITISH TO HAVE BEEN IN $ENGLAND,
 BY THE CONQUESTS AND INUNDATIONS OF THE $SAXONS.
0453-FT/1695:012(049) THE TIME OF THIS EXPEDITION IS YET LESS IN VIEW; NOR DOES
$BUCHANAN, OR ANY OTHER AUTHOR THAT I KNOW OF, PRETEND TO TELL, OR SO MUCH AS CO
NJECTURE FURTHER, THAN UPON A SUPPOSITION OF THE $SCOTS COMING FIRST OUT OF $IRE
LAND, WITHOUT ALLEGING ANY AUTHORITY FOR THAT NEITHER.
0454-FT/1695:013(098) I KNOW NO WAY OF MAKING ANY GUESSES AT A MATTER SO OBSCURE
, WITHOUT RECOURSE TO THE RUNICK LEARNING AND STORIES, BY WHICH WE FIND THAT THE
 $ASIATICK $SCYTHIANS, UNDER THE NAMES OF $GETES OR $GOTHS, AND THE CONDUCT OF $
ODIN THEIR CAPTAIN, (THEIR LAWGIVER AT FIRST, AND AFTERWARDS ONE OF THEIR GODS)
ARE ESTEEMED TO HAVE BEGUN THEIR EXPEDITION INTO THE NORTHWEST PARTS OF $EUROPE,
 ABOUT THE TIME THAT THE $ROMAN ARMS BEGAN FIRST TO MAKE A GREAT NOISE, AND GIVE
 GREAT FEARS IN $ASIA, WHICH WAS IN THE REIGNS OF $ANTIOCHUS FIRST, AND THEN OF
$MITHRIDATES.
0455-FT/1695:014(088) HOW LONG THE ARMS OF $ODIN AND HIS SUCCESSORS WERE IMPLOYE
D IN THE CONQUEST AND SETTLEMENT OF THAT VAST KINGDOM, WHICH CONTAINED ALL THE T
RACTS OF COUNTRY SURROUNDING THE $BALTICK SEA, IS NOT AGREED UPON IN THESE RUNIC
K STORIES; BUT 'TIS NECESSARY, $NORWAY MUST HAVE BEEN THE LAST THEY POSSESSED IN
 THEIR WESTERN PROGRESS, AND I AM APT TO THINK, THE $SCYTHS MAY HAVE BEEN DRIVEN
 BY THEM, TO SEEK NEARER SEATS IN OUR ISLANDS; AND THAT 'TIS PROBABLE, TO HAVE B
EEN SOME TIME OF THE FIRST CENTURY.
0456-FT/1695:015(090) WHENEVER IT WAS, IT SEEMS MORE AGREED, THAT AFTER THE FIRS
T ENTRANCE OF THE $SCOTS INTO $CALEDONIA, THEY SUBDUED MUCH OF THE COUNTRY, MING
LED WITH THE REST OF THE NATIVE $PICTS, CONTINUED LONG TO INFEST THE FRONTIER PA
RTS OF THE $ROMAN COLONIES IN $BRITAIN, WITH GREAT FIERCENESS, AND MANY VARIOUS
EVENTS; AND WOULD POSSIBLY HAVE MADE MUCH GREATER NOISE AND IMPRESSIONS UPON THE
 $ROMANS, IF THEIR GREATER NUMBERS HAD NOT BEEN DRAWN ANOTHER WAY, BY SO GREAT A
 DRAIN AS THAT OF $IRELAND; WHICH THEY TOTALLY CONQUERED, AND LONG POSSESSED.
0457-FT/1695:016(121) THIS IS THE BEST ACCOUNT I HAVE BEEN EVER ABLE TO GIVE MY
SELF OF THESE ANCIENT TIMES AND EVENTS IN THE NORTHERN PARTS OF OUR ISLANDS, BEI
NG A MATTER THAT HAS IMPLOYED SO MANY UNSKILFUL PENS, IN SO MUCH IDLE TRASH, AND
 WORTHLESS STUFF, AS THEY HAVE LEFT UPON IT; BUT ALL INVOLVED IN SUCH GROUNDLESS
 TRADITIONS AND VANITY OF FABLES, SO OBSCURED BY THE LENGTH OF TIME, AND DARKNES
S OF UNLEARNED AGES, OR COVERED OVER WITH SUCH GROSS FORGERIES, MADE AT PLEASURE
 BY THEIR FIRST INVENTERS, THAT I KNOW FEW ANCIENT AUTHORS UPON THIS SUBJECT, WO
RTH THE PAINS OF PERUSAL, AND OF DIVIDING OR REFINING SO LITTLE GOLD, OUT OF SO
MUCH COURSE ORE, OR FROM SO MUCH DROSS.
0458-FT/1695:017(092) AND I HAVE THE RATHER MADE THIS EXCURSION, BECAUSE I HAVE
MET WITH NOTHING IN STORY MORE OBSCURE, AND OFTEN OBSERVED WITH WONDER, THAT WE
SHOULD KNOW LESS OF $IRELAND, THAN OF ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN $EUROPE: FOR, BESIDES
 ITS HAVING BEEN ANCIENTLY PLANTED BY THE $SCOTS, AND TAKEN THEIR NAME, AND THEN
 AFTER SEVERAL CENTURIES BEEN SUBDUED, AND MUCH OF IT PLANTED BY THE $DANES; WE
KNOW NOTHING CERTAIN OF THE AFFAIRS OR REVOLUTIONS OF THAT ISLAND, TILL THE $ENG
LISH BEGAN THEIR CONQUESTS THERE, UNDER THE ENSIGNS OF $HENRY THE SECOND.
0459-FT/1695:018(050) FOR THE $DANISH ESTABLISHMENTS THERE, WE NEITHER KNOW THE
TIME NOR THE MANNER THEY EITHER BEGAN OR ENDED, THOUGH MANY MONUMENTS STILL REMA
IN OF THE TOWNS AND CASTLES THEY BUILT, AND MANY RECORDS AMONG SOME FAMILIES IN
$DENMARK, OF THE LANDS AND POSSESSIONS THEY LONG HELD AND ENJOYED IN $IRELAND.
0460-FT/1695:019(117) I SHALL NOW RETURN TO THAT PART OF OUR ISLAND WHICH WAS MO
RE PROPERLY BY THE $ROMANS TERMED $BRITANNIA, WAS CONQUERED BY THE VICTORIOUS AR
MS, AND REDUCED INTO A PROVINCE BY THE WISE INSTITUTIONS OF THAT RENOWNED NATION
; AND HAVING ONCE FOUND THE END OF THE THREAD, IT WILL BE EASY TO WIND OFF THE B
OTTOM; AND BEING A SUBJECT TREATED BY SO MANY AUTHORS, AND PRETTY WELL AGREED, I
 SHALL TROUBLE MY SELF NO FURTHER, THAN TO CONTINUE THE THREAD AS IT LEADS THROU
GH THE SEVERAL REVOLUTIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN THIS NOBLE ISLAND, TILL THE LAS
T $NORMAN PERIOD, BY WHICH THE PRESENT SUCCESSION AND GOVERNMENT SEEM TO HAVE BE
EN ESTABLISH'D, AND HAVE EVER SINCE CONTINUED.
0461-EW/1696:001(054) IT MUST HERE BE CONFESS'D, THAT SUCH NOTIONS OF THE $MOSAI
CK CREATION, AS I NOW OPPOSE, HAVING BEGUN, OR AT LEAST BEEN CHIEFLY ESTABLISH'D
 AND PROPAGATED WHEN THE $ARISTOTELEAN PHILOSOPHY, AND $PTOLOMAICK ASTRONOMY WER
E BELIEV'D; THOSE WHO HAVE EMBRAC'D THEM TILL THIS AGE WERE LESS ABSURD, AND NEA
RER TO SOME TOLERABLE DEGREE OF PROBABILITY.
0462-EW/1696:002(397) FOR SO LONG AS THE $EARTH WITH ITS ADJOYNING ELEMENTS WAS
SUPPOS'D THE CENTER AND BASIS OF ALL THE WORLD; WHILE THE DISTANCE OF THE HEAVEN
LY BODIES WAS BELIEV'D TO BE, COMPARATIVELY TO WHAT WE NOW FIND, VERY SMALL AND
INCONSIDERABLE; AND ALL THEIR MOTIONS PERFORM'D ABOUT US THEIR PROPER AND IMMOVA
BLE CENTER; WHILE THE WHOLE SERIES OF SPHERES ABOVE (THO' THE SEVERAL DISTINCT O
NES MOV'D THE CONTRARY WAY BY THEIR OWN PECULIAR MOTIONS) WAS IN TWENTY FOUR HOU
RS CONSTANTLY HURRIED FROM EAST TO WEST BY THE PRIMUM MOBILE, ON PURPOSE TO CAUS
E DAY AND NIGHT TO US BELOW; WHILE COMETS WERE ESTEEM'D EXHALATIONS FROM THE STA
RS, AND SENT ONLY AT CERTAIN SEASONS TO AFFRIGHT MANKIND WITH THEIR FIERY TAILS,
 AND THEN TO BE DISSIPATED AND VANISH INTO VAPOURS AGAIN; WHILE THE SUN AND STAR
S, IN THE OPINION OF THE PHILOSOPHERS THEMSELVES, WERE NOURISH'D BY THE STEAMS F
ROM OUR $EARTH; AND WHILE THE LAST NAMED WERE EITHER STUCK IN ONE SPHERICAL SUPE
RFICIES AS THE FIX'D STARS, OR FASTNED IN THEIR SOLID ORBS, LIKE A NAIL IN A CAR
TWHEEL, AS THE PLANETS, AND NO OTHER USE IMAGIN'D BUT TO TWINKLE TO US IN WINTER
 EVENINGS, AND BY THEIR ASPECTS TO FOREBODE WHAT LITTLE CHANGES OF WEATHER, OR O
THER ACCIDENTS WERE TO BE EXPECTED BELOW; WHILE NO OTHER HABITABLE WORLD WAS DRE
AM'D OF THAN THIS GLOBE OF $EARTH; NO OTHER ANIMALS ONCE CONJECTUR'D AT, BESIDES
 THOSE ON THE FACE THEREOF; WHILE MANKIND WAS LOOK'D ON AS THE SOLE LORD OF THE
CREATION, AND HIM FOR WHOSE SAKE ALL OTHER CREATURES IN THE WORLD WERE MADE; AND
 WHILE 'TWAS COMMONLY GRANTED THAT, AS ALL THINGS, THE VISIBLE HEAVENS AND $EART
H, WITH THEIR INTIRE FURNITURE BEGAN WITH HIM; SO AT THE CONCLUSION OF HIS SUCCE
SSION, OR THE PERIOD OF HUMANE GENERATIONS HERE, MUST THEY FOR EVER CEASE AND BE
 ANNIHILATED; WHILE ALL THIS, I SAY, WAS THE CURRENT PHILOSOPHY, 'TIS NOT VERY S
URPRIZING THAT THE $MOSAICK HISTORY WE ARE NOW UPON WAS UNDERSTOOD IN THE VULGAR
 SENSE, AND SEEM'D NOT WHOLLY DISAGREEABLE TO THE PRESUMED FRAME OF NATURE; AND
'TWAS NOT HARD TO BELIEVE, THAT THIS $EARTH AND ITS INHABITANTS, IN THE OPINION
OF THE WORLD, THE MAIN AND PRINCIPAL CONCERN OF ALL, AND THAT TO WHOSE USES EVER
Y THING ELSE INTIRELY SERV'D, HAD THE PRINCIPAL CARE BESTOW'D UPON IT, BOTH IN I
TS ORIGINAL CREATION, AND ITS SUBSEQUENT CHANGES AND REVOLUTIONS.
0463-EW/1696:003(024) BUT THO' SUCH A SCHEME, AND SUCH AN APPREHENSION WERE PASS
ABLE ENOUGH IN THE DAYS OF OUR FOREFATHERS; 'TIS BY NO MEANS SO NOW.
0464-EW/1696:004(031) THOSE GREATER DEGREES OF KNOWLEDGE WHICH THE PROVIDENCE OF
 $GOD HAS IN THIS AGE AFFORDED US, MAKE SUCH OPINIONS INTOLERABLE IN THE PRESENT
, WHICH WERE NOT SO IN THE PAST CENTURIES.
0465-EW/1696:005(082) 'TIS NOW EVIDENT, THAT EVERY ONE OF THE PLANETS, AS WELL A
S THAT ON WHICH WE LIVE, MUST HAVE A RIGHT IN ITS PROPORTION TO SHARE IN THE CAR
E OF HEAVEN, AND HAD THEREFORE IN ALL PROBABILITY A SUITABLE SPACE OR NUMBER OF
DAYS ALLOW'D TO ITS PROPER FORMATION; MUCH WHAT THE SAME SEPARATIONS OF PARTS, D
IGESTIONS, AND COLLECTIONS, BEING NO DOUBT TO BE SUPPOS'D IN THE ORIGINAL FORMAT
ION OF ANY OTHER, AS IN THAT PARTICULAR PLANET, WITH WHICH $MOSES WAS CONCERN'D.

0466-EW/1696:006(044) AND IF ONE OR TWO ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR SMALLNESS, MIGHT BE
FINISH'D IN LESS; THE REST ON ACCOUNT OF THEIR BIGNESS, FROM A PARITY OF REASON,
 WOULD TAKE UP MUCH MORE THAN THAT SIX DAYS TIME WHICH WAS SPENT IN OUR $EARTH'S
 FORMATION.
0467-EW/1696:007(161) AND LET THE READER JUDGE, IF IT BE SO IMPOSSIBLE TO REDUCE
 THE PLANETS ALONE WITHIN THE FOURTH DAY'S WORK, HOW MUCH MORE SO IT WILL BE (IN
 CASE WE ALLOW DEGREES OF IMPOSSIBILITIES) TO REDUCE THITHER THAT VAST NOBLE AND
 USEFUL BODY THE FOUNTAIN OF OUR LIGHT AND HEAT, THE SUN; AND STILL IN A PRODIGI
OUS DEGREE MORE SO, TO INCLUDE THE IMMENSE AND NUMBERLESS SYSTEMS OF THE FIXED S
TARS; AMONG WHOM WHEN THE SUN IS BUT ONE, AND PERHAPS NO BIGGER THAN THE REST; (
AND CONSEQUENTLY TO HAVE IN REASON BUT AN EQUAL PORTION OF TIME WITH THEM ALLOTT
ED FOR ITS ORIGINATION;) IT MUST, THO' ABOVE SIXTY THOUSAND TIMES AS BIG AS THE
EARTH, WHILE THE EARTH TAKES UP FOUR INTIRE ONES, BE THRUST INTO THE CORNER OF A
 SINGLE DAY; CORNER, DID I SAY, RATHER MINUTE, NAY, MOMENT OF A DAY; AND 'TIS UN
CERTAIN WHETHER EVEN THAT PITTANCE OF TIME CAN FAIRLY AND SEPARATELY BE ALLOW'D
TO IT.
0468-EW/1696:008(082) SO THAT ONE NEED NOT FEAR TO ASSERT, THAT HE WHO SHOULD AF
FIRM THE DIVINE POWER TO HAVE SPENT FOUR ENTIRE DAYS IN THE FORMATION OF A FLY O
R WORM, NAY, OF A SINGLE PLANT OR HERB; AND BUT ONE IN THE FORMATION OF THE TERR
AQUEOUS GLOBE WITH ALL ITS PARTS, REGIONS, AND FURNITURE, WOULD BE LESS UNREASON
ABLE THAN SOME EXPOSITORS NOW ARE, AND MORE OBSERVE DECORUM, FITNESS, AGREEMENT,
 AND PROPORTION, THAN THEY DO IN THE VULGAR INTERPRETATIONS OF THE $MOSAICK CREA
TION.
0469-EW/1696:009(024) AND I NEED NOT BE AFRAID TO CALL ALL THAT ASTRONOMY AND PH
ILOSOPHY ARE MASTERS OF, TO ATTEST THE FAIRNESS OF SUCH A COMPARISON.
0470-EW/1696:010(030) AND CAN ANY ONE WHO IS SENSIBLE OF THIS, AND ENTERTAINS NO
 OTHER THAN GREAT AND WORTHY THOUGHTS OF HIS ALWISE CREATOR, EMBRACE SO FOND AND
 SO STRANGE AN OPINION?
0471-EW/1696:011(069) AND IF THE READER WILL PARDON A SHORT DIGRESSION, AND GIVE
 ME LEAVE TO SPEAK A GREAT TRUTH ON THIS OCCASION, I CANNOT BUT OBSERVE, THAT 'T
IS NOT THE GENUINE CONTENTS OF THE HOLY BOOKS THEMSELVES, BUT SUCH UNWARY INTERP
RETATIONS OF THEM AS THESE, WHICH HAVE MAINLY CONTRIBUTED TO THEIR CONTEMPT, AND
 BEEN BUT TOO INSTRUMENTAL TO MAKE 'EM APPEAR ABSURD AND IRRATIONAL TO THE FREE
REASON OF MANKIND.
0472-EW/1696:012(068) FOR WHEN MEN FOUND THAT THE SCRIPTURES, ACCORDING TO THE U
NIVERSAL SENSE OF EXPOSITORS, ASCRIBED SUCH THINGS TO $GOD, AS THEIR PLAINEST RE
ASON COULD NOT THINK COMPATIBLE TO A WISE MAN, MUCH LESS TO THE ALL=WISE $GOD; T
HEY WERE UNDER A SHREWD TEMPTATION OF THINKING VERY MEANLY OF THE "BIBLE" IT SEL
F, AND BY DEGREES OF REJECTING IT, AND THEREWITH ALL DIVINE REVELATION TO THE SO
NS OF MEN.
0473-EW/1696:013(077) HOW FATALLY THIS MALADY HATH SPREAD, OF LATE ESPECIALLY, I
 NEED NOT SAY; AND THO' I FULLY BELIEVE THE MAIN STROKE OR STEP, AS TO THE GENER
ALITY, BE VICIOUS DISPOSITIONS AND A DEBAUCHED TEMPER, YET HOW FAR SUCH ILL=CONT
RIV'D, UNSKILFUL, AND UNPHILOSOPHICAL INTERPRETATIONS, OR RATHER MISREPRESENTATI
ONS OF SCRIPTURE, PARTICULARLY RELATING TO THE MATERIAL WORLD OF WHICH WE ARE NO
W SPEAKING, MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO SO FATAL AND PERNICIOUS AN EFFECT, DESERVES
THE MOST SERIOUS AND SOBER CONSIDERATION.
0474-EW/1696:014(085) THIS MISCHIEF IS NOT TO BE REMEDIED, NOR THE VENERATION DU
E TO THE SACRED VOLUMES RETRIEV'D BY AN OBSTINATE MAINTAINING SUCH STRANGE OPINI
ONS AS THOSE HERE REFER'D TO, BY PATRONIZING THE SAME WITH DIVINE AUTHORITY, AND
 THEN MAKING VEHEMENT INVECTIVES AGAINST SUCH (AS MANY UNSKILFUL, YET GOOD MEN,
ARE READY TO DO) WHOSE ONLY FAULT IS THIS THAT THEY CAN NO MORE BE INDUC'D TO BE
LIEVE WHAT IS PLAINLY UNWORTHY OF, AND UNSUITABLE TO THE DIVINE PERFECTIONS, THA
N WHAT IS EVIDENTLY CONTRADICTORY TO DIVINE REVELATION.
0475-EW/1696:015(100) WISE MEN WOULD RATHER SET THEMSELVES CAREFULLY TO COMPARE
NATURE WITH SCRIPTURE, AND MAKE A FREE ENQUIRY INTO THE CERTAIN PHAENOMENA OF TH
E ONE, AND THE GENUINE SENSE OF THE OTHER; WHICH IF EXPOSITORS WOULD DO, 'TWERE
NOT HARD TO DEMONSTRATE IN SEVERAL SUCH CASES, THAT THE LATTER IS SO FAR FROM OP
POSING THE TRUTHS DEDUCIBLE FROM THE FORMER, OR THE COMMON NOTIONS OF MANKIND, T
HAT 'TIS IN THE GREATEST HARMONY THEREWITH; AND IN THOSE CASES (WHERE THE THING
MENTION'D IS WITHIN THE SPHERE OF HUMAN KNOWLEDGE) NO LESS ACCOUNTABLE TO THE RE
ASON, THAN ENFORC'D ON THE BELIEF OF MANKIND.
0476-EW/1696:016(109) AND I PERSUADE MY SELF IF THERE WERE A CAREFUL COLLECTION
MADE OF THE ANCIENT KNOTS AND DIFFICULTIES IN THE SEVERAL PARTS OF THE "BIBLE",
WITH RELATION TO SUCH POINTS AS WE ARE UPON, OR ANY OTHERS OF A DIFFERENT NATURE
; AND HOW VERY MANY OF THEM, AS PRELUDES AND PLEDGES OF THE REST, ARE NOW INTIRE
LY CLEAR'D, OR MIGHT EASILY BE SO; IT WOULD MORE CONTRIBUTE TO THE RECOVERY OF T
HE ANCIENT HONOUR, AND DUE ESTEEM OF THE SACRED SCRIPTURES, THAN ALL THE MOST ZE
ALOUS AND GENERAL HARANGUES FROM SOME POPULAR TOPICKS, EITHER FOR THEM, OR AGAIN
ST THEIR CONTEMNERS, THE LOOSE DEISTS AND PRETENDED $SOCINIANS OF THIS AGE.
0477-EW/1696:017(090) FOR MY OWN PART I CANNOT BUT PROFESS, THAT THO' I BE VERY
NICE AND TENDER IN THE REASONABLENESS OF MY FAITH, AND DESIROUS TO ADMIT NOTHING
 BUT WHAT AGREES TO THE DIVINE ATTRIBUTES, THE COMMON NOTIONS OF OUR SOULS, AND
THE PHAENOMENA OF NATURE; YET UPON AN IMPARTIAL ENQUIRY INTO SOME OF THE MOST PE
RPLEXING DIFFICULTIES OCCURRING THERE, I HAVE OBTAIN'D SO GREAT A MEASURE OF SAT
ISFACTION ABOUT THEM, THAT MY SCRUPLES NOW INTIRELY CEASE, AND I CANNOT DOUBT EI
THER OF THE TRUTH OR DIVINE AUTHORITY OF THE SCRIPTURES.
0478-EW/1696:018(138) I DO NOT MEAN, THAT ALL THE DIFFICULTIES ARE IN PARTICULAR
 VANISH'D AND PERFECTLY CLEAR'D TO ME: THAT IS WHAT IS SCARCE TO BE HOP'D FOR IN
 THIS WORLD: BUT I HAVE SO FREQUENTLY MET WITH FEWER DIFFICULTIES IN THE CONSIDE
RATION OF THE BOOKS THEMSELVES, THAN IN THE COMMON INTERPRETATIONS, AND THOSE VE
RY COMMENTS WHICH OUGHT TO ASSOIL 'EM: AND IN SO MANY, AND THOSE MOST REMARKABLE
 POINTS OF ALL, HAVE MET WITH SUCH CLEAR AND PLENARY, THO' UNEXPECTED SATISFACTI
ON, THAT I HAVE ALL IMAGINABLE REASON TO BELIEVE THE REST EQUALLY CAPABLE OF THE
 SAME, AND TO REMAIN CONSTANT IN THIS ASSURANCE, THAT 'TIS THE IGNORANT OR FOOLI
SH EXPOSITIONS OF MEN, NOT THE NATURAL AND GENUINE SENSE OF THE WORDS THEMSELVES
, THAT MAKES US IMAGINE SCRIPTURE, REASON, AND THE NATURE OF THINGS IRRECONCILEA
BLE OR CONTRADICTORY TO ONE ANOTHER.
0479-EW/1696:019(056) AND I HOPE THE INSTANCES HE WILL MEET WITH IN THE FOLLOWIN
G THEORY, WILL GO A GREAT WAY TO PERSUADE THE UNBIASS'D READER OF THE SAME TRUTH
; AND TO CONVINCE HIM, THAT GREATER SATISFACTION IS TO BE LOOK'D FOR FROM THE VI
EW OF $GOD'S OWN BOOKS OF NATURE AND SCRIPTURE, THAN THOSE OF ANY MEN WHATSOEVER
.
0480-EW/1696:020(068) WHATEVER INCOMPETENT JUDGES MAY SAY, NOTHING WILL SO MUCH
TEND TO THE VINDICATION AND HONOUR OF REVEAL'D RELIGION, AS FREE ENQUIRIES INTO,
 AND A SOLID ACQUAINTANCE WITH, (NOT INGENIOUS AND PRECARIOUS HYPOTHESES, BUT) T
RUE AND DEMONSTRABLE PRINCIPLES OF PHILOSOPHY, WITH THE HISTORY OF NATURE, AND W
ITH SUCH ANCIENT TRADITIONS AS IN ALL PROBABILITY WERE DERIV'D FROM $NOAH, AND B
Y HIM FROM THE MORE ANCIENT FATHERS OF THE WORLD.
0481-EW/1696:021(076) FROM WHICH MEDIUMS, WHAT SURPRIZING AND UNHOP'D FOR LIGHT
MAY BE GIVEN TO SOME FAMOUS PORTIONS OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE FOLLOWING PAGES
 WILL, 'TIS HOP'D, AFFORD SOME CONVINCING INSTANCES, AND PROVE SUFFICIENT TO TAK
E AWAY MEN'S UNGROUNDED FEARS AND APPREHENSIONS IN SUCH MATTERS: AND, BY THE DIV
INE BLESSING, APPEAR A SEASONABLE ATTESTATION TO THE CERTAINTY AND AUTHORITY OF
THOSE LIVELY ORACLES ON WHICH OUR HAPPINESS IN THIS, AND THE NEXT WORLD DOES SO
VASTLY DEPEND.
0482-ED/1697:001(019) THE $GALLAPAGOS ISLANDS ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF UNINHABITED
ISLANDS, LYING UNDER, AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE EQUATOR.
0483-ED/1697:002(011) THE EASTERMOST OF THEM ARE ABOUT 110 LEAGUES FROM THE MAIN
.
0484-ED/1697:003(027) THEY ARE LAID DOWN IN THE LONGITUDE OF 181, REACHING TO TH
E WESTWARD AS FAR AS 176, THEREFORE THEIR LONGITUDE FROM $ENGLAND WESTWARD IS AB
OUT 68 DEGREES.
0485-ED/1697:004(014) BUT I BELIEVE OUR HYDROGRAPHERS DO NOT PLACE THEM FAR ENOU
GH TO THE WESTWARD.
0486-ED/1697:005(041) THE $SPANIARDS WHO FIRST DISCOVERED THEM, AND IN WHOSE DRA
UGHTS ALONE THEY ARE LAID DOWN, REPORT THEM TO BE A GREAT NUMBER STRETCHING NORT
H=WEST FROM THE LINE, AS FAR AS 5 DEGREES NORTH BUT WE SAW NOT ABOVE 14 OR 15.
0487-ED/1697:006(015) THEY ARE SOME OF THEM 7 OR 8 LEAGUES LONG, AND 3 OR 4 BROA
D.
0488-ED/1697:007(040) THEY ARE OF A GOOD HEIGHT, MOST OF THEM FLAT AND EVEN ON T
HE TOP; 4 OR 5 OF THE EASTERMOST ARE ROCKY, BARREN AND HILLY, PRODUCING NEITHER
TREE, HERB, NOR GRASS, BUT A FEW DILDO=TREES, EXCEPT BY THE SEA=SIDE.
0489-ED/1697:008(020) THE DILDO=TREE IS A GREEN PRICKLY SHRUB, THAT GROWS ABOUT
10 OR 12 FOOT HIGH, WITHOUT EITHER LEAF OR FRUIT.
0490-ED/1697:009(042) IT IS AS BIG AS A MAN'S LEG, FROM THE ROOT TO THE TOP, AND
 IT IS FULL OF SHARP PRICKLES, GROWING IN THICK ROWS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM; THIS SH
RUB IS FIT FOR NO USE, NOT SO MUCH AS TO BURN.
0491-ED/1697:010(017) CLOSE BY THE SEA THERE GROWS IN SOME PLACES BUSHES OF BURT
ON=WOOD, WHICH IS VERY GOOD FIRING.
0492-ED/1697:011(020) THIS SORT OF WOOD GROWS IN MANY PLACES IN THE $WEST=INDIES
, ESPECIALLY IN THE BAY OF $CAMPEACHY, AND THE $SAMBALLOES.
0493-ED/1697:012(010) I DID NEVER SEE ANY IN THESE SEAS BUT HERE.
0494-ED/1697:013(014) THERE IS WATER ON THESE BARREN ISLANDS, IN PONDS AND HOLES
 AMONG THE ROCKS.
0495-ED/1697:014(023) SOME OTHER OF THESE ISLANDS ARE MOSTLY PLAIN AND LOW, AND
THE LAND MORE FERTILE, PRODUCING TREES OF DIVERS SORTS, UNKNOWN TO US.
0496-ED/1697:015(023) SOME OF THE WESTERMOST OF THESE ISLANDS, ARE NINE OR TEN L
EAGUES LONG, AND SIX OR SEVEN BROAD; THE MOULD DEEP AND BLACK.
0497-ED/1697:016(016) THESE PRODUCE TREES OF GREAT AND TALL BODIES, ESPECIALLY M
AMMEE=TREES, WHICH GROW HERE IN GREAT GROVES.
0498-ED/1697:017(024) IN THESE LARGE ISLANDS THERE ARE SOME PRETTY BIG RIVERS; A
ND IN MANY OF THE OTHER LESSER ISLANDS, THERE ARE BROOKS OF GOOD WATER.
0499-ED/1697:018(022) THE $SPANIARDS WHEN THEY FIRST DISCOVER'D THESE ISLANDS, F
OUND MULTITUDES OF GUANOES, AND LAND=TURTLE OR TORTOISE, AND NAMED THEM THE $GAL
LAPAGOS ISLANDS.
0500-ED/1697:019(018) I DO BELIEVE THERE IS NO PLACE IN THE WORLD THAT IS SO PLE
NTIFULLY STORED WITH THOSE ANIMALS.
0501-ED/1697:020(031) THE GUANOES HERE ARE FAT AND LARGE AS ANY THAT I EVER SAW;
 THEY ARE SO TAME, THAT A MAN MAY KNOCK DOWN TWENTY IN AN HOUR'S TIME WITH A CLU
B.
0502-ED/1697:021(039) THE LAND=TURTLE ARE HERE SO NUMEROUS, THAT 5 OR 600 MEN MI
GHT SUBSIST ON THEM ALONE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, WITHOUT ANY OTHER SORT OF PROVISIO
N: THEY ARE EXTRAORDINARY LARGE AND FAT; AND SO SWEET, NO PULLET EATS MORE PLEAS
ANTLY.
0503-ED/1697:022(030) ONE OF THE LARGEST OF THESE CREATURES WILL WEIGH 150 OR 20
0 WEIGHT, AND SOME OF THEM ARE 2 FOOT, OR 2 FOOT 6 INCHES OVER THE CHALLAPEE OR
BELLY.
0504-ED/1697:023(016) I DID NEVER SEE ANY BUT AT THIS PLACE, THAT WILL WEIGH ABO
VE 30 POUND WEIGHT.
0505-ED/1697:024(045) I HAVE HEARD THAT AT THE ISLE OF $ST_LAWRENCE OR $MADAGASC
AR, AND AT THE $ENGLISH_FOREST, AN ISLAND NEAR IT, CALLED ALSO $DON_MASCARIN, AN
D NOW POSSESSED BY THE $FRENCH; THERE ARE VERY LARGE ONES, BUT WHETHER SO BIG, F
AT, AND SWEET AS THESE, I KNOW NOT.
0506-ED/1697:025(012) THERE ARE 3 OR 4 SORTS OF THESE CREATURES IN THE $WEST=IND
IES.
0507-ED/1697:026(018) ONE IS CALLED BY THE $SPANIARDS, $HECATEE; THESE LIVE MOST
 IN FRESH WATER=PONDS, AND SELDOM COME ON LAND.
0508-ED/1697:027(018) THEY WEIGH ABOUT 10 OR 15 POUND; THEY HAVE SMALL LEGS AND
FLAT FEET, AND SMALL LONG NECKS.
0509-ED/1697:028(060) ANOTHER SORT IS CALLED $TENAPEN; THESE ARE A GREAT DEAL LE
SS THAN THE $HECATEE; THE SHELL ON THEIR BACKS IS ALL CARVED NATURALLY, FINELY W
ROUGHT, AND WELL CLOUDED: THE BACKS OF THESE ARE ROUNDER THAN THOSE BEFORE=MENTI
ONED; THEY ARE OTHERWISE MUCH OF THE SAME FORM: THESE DELIGHT TO LIVE IN WET SWA
MPY PLACES, OR ON THE LAND NEAR SUCH PLACES.
0510-ED/1697:029(007) BOTH THESE SORTS ARE VERY GOOD MEAT.
0511-ED/1697:030(055) THEY ARE IN GREAT PLENTY ON THE $ISLES OF $PINES NEAR $CUB
A: THERE THE $SPANISH HUNTERS WHEN THEY MEET THEM IN THE WOODS BRING THEM HOME T
O THEIR HUTS, AND MARK THEM BY NOTCHING THEIR SHELLS, THEN LET THEM GO; THIS THE
Y DO TO HAVE THEM AT HAND, FOR THEY NEVER RAMBLE FAR FROM THENCE.
0512-ED/1697:031(043) WHEN THESE HUNTERS RETURN TO $CUBA, AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OR
 SIX WEEKS STAY, THEY CARRY WITH THEM 3 OR 400 OR MORE, OF THESE CREATURES TO SE
LL; FOR THEY ARE VERY GOOD MEAT, AND EVERY MAN KNOWS HIS OWN BY THEIR MARKS.
0513-ED/1697:032(030) THESE TORTOISE IN THE $GALLAPAGOES ARE MORE LIKE THE $HECA
TEE, EXCEPT THAT, AS I SAID BEFORE, THEY ARE MUCH BIGGER; AND THEY HAVE VERY LON
G SMALL NECKS AND LITTLE HEADS.
0514-ED/1697:033(018) THERE ARE SOME GREEN SNAKES ON THESE ISLANDS, BUT NO OTHER
 LAND ANIMAL THAT I DID EVER SEE.
0515-ED/1697:034(023) THERE ARE GREAT PLENTY OF TURTLE=DOVES SO TAME, THAT A MAN
 MAY KILL 5 OR 6 DOZEN IN A FORENOON WITH A STICK.
0516-ED/1697:035(015) THEY ARE SOMEWHAT LESS THAN A PIGEON, AND ARE VERY GOOD ME
AT, AND COMMONLY FAT.
0517-ED/1697:036(042) THERE ARE GOOD WIDE CHANNELS BETWEEN THESE ISLANDS FIT FOR
 SHIPS TO PASS, AND IN SOME PLACES SHOLE WATER, WHERE THERE GROWS PLENTY OF TURT
LE=GRASS; THEREFORE THESE ISLANDS ARE PLENTIFULLY STORED WITH SEA=TURTLE, OF THA
T SORT WHICH IS CALLED THE GREEN TURTLE.
0518-ED/1697:037(015) I HAVE HITHERTO DEFERRED THE DESCRIPTION OF THESE CREATURE
S, THEREFORE I SHALL GIVE IT HERE.
0519-ED/1697:038(016) THERE ARE 4 SORTS OF SEA=TURTLE, VIZ THE TRUNK=TURTLE, THE
 LOGGERHEAD, THE HAWKS=BILL, AND THE GREEN=TURTLE.
0520-ED/1697:039(021) THE TRUNK=TURTLE IS COMMONLY BIGGER THAN THE OTHER, THEIR
BACKS ARE HIGHER AND ROUNDER, AND THEIR FLESH RANK AND NOT WHOLSOME.
0521-ED/1697:040(039) THE LOGGERHEAD IS SO CALL'D, BECAUSE IT HATH A GREAT HEAD,
 MUCH BIGGER THAN THE OTHER SORTS; THEIR FLESH IS LIKEWISE VERY RANK, AND SELDOM
 EATEN BUT IN CASE OF NECESSITY: THEY FEED ON MOSS THAT GROWS ABOUT ROCKS.
0522-ED/1697:041(047) THE HAWKS=BILL TURTLE IS THE LEAST KIND, THEY ARE SO CALL'
D BECAUSE THEIR MOUTHS ARE LONG AND SMALL, SOMEWHAT RESEMBLING THE BILL OF A HAW
K: ON THE BACKS OF THESE HAWKS=BILL TURTLE GROWS THAT SHELL WHICH IS SO MUCH EST
EEM'D FOR MAKING CABINETS, COMBS, AND OTHER THINGS.
0523-ED/1697:042(039) THE LARGEST OF THEM MAY HAVE 3 POUND AND AN HALF OF SHELL;
 I HAVE TAKEN SOME THAT HAVE HAD 3 POUND 10 OUNCES: BUT THEY COMMONLY HAVE A POU
ND AND HALF, OR TWO POUND; SOME NOT SO MUCH.
0524-ED/1697:043(036) THESE ARE BUT ORDINARY FOOD, BUT GENERALLY SWEETER THAN TH
E LOGGERHEAD: YET THESE HAWKS=BILLS, IN SOME PLACES ARE UNWHOLSOME, CAUSING THEM
 THAT EAT THEM TO PURGE AND VOMIT EXCESSIVELY, ESPECIALLY THOSE BETWEEN THE $SAM
BALLOES AND $PORTOBEL.
0525-ED/1697:044(021) WE MEET WITH OTHER FISH IN THE $WEST=INDIES, OF THE SAME M
ALIGNANT NATURE: BUT I SHALL DESCRIBE THEM IN THE APPENDIX.
0526-ED/1697:045(011) THESE HAWKS=BILL TURTLES ARE BETTER OR WORSE, ACCORDING TO
 THEIR FEEDING.
0527-ED/1697:046(062) IN SOME PLACES THEY FEED ON GRASS, AS THE GREEN=TORTOISE A
LSO DOTH; IN OTHER PLACES THEY KEEP AMONG ROCKS, AND FEED ON MOSS, OR SEA=WEEDS;
 BUT THESE ARE NOT SO SWEET AS THOSE THAT EAT GRASS, NEITHER IS THEIR SHELL SO C
LEAR; FOR THEY ARE COMMONLY OVER=GROWN WITH BARNACLES WHICH SPOIL THE SHELL; AND
 THEIR FLESH IS COMMONLY YELLOW, ESPECIALLY THE FAT.
0528-ED/1697:047(029) HAWKS=BILL TURTLE ARE IN MANY PLACES OF THE $WEST=INDIES:
THEY HAVE ISLANDS AND PLACES PECULIAR TO THEMSELVES, WHERE THEY LAY THEIR EGGS,
AND SELDOM COME AMONG ANY OTHER TURTLE.
0529-ED/1697:048(019) THESE AND ALL OTHER TURTLE LAY EGGS IN THE SAND; THEIR TIM
E OF LAYING IS IN $MAY, $JUNE, $JULY.
0530-ED/1697:049(005) SOME BEGIN SOONER, SOME LATER.
0531-ED/1697:050(015) THEY LAY 3 TIMES IN A SEASON, AND AT EACH TIME 80 OR 90 EG
GS.
0532-ED/1697:051(019) THEIR EGGS ARE AS BIG AS A HEN'S EGG, AND VERY ROUND, COVE
RED ONLY WITH A WHITE TOUGH SKIN.
0533-ED/1697:052(015) THERE ARE SOME BAYS ON THE NORTH=SIDE OF $JAMAICA, WHERE T
HESE HAWKS=BILLS RESORT TO LAY.
0534-ED/1697:053(035) IN THE BAY OF $HONDURAS ARE ISLANDS WHICH THEY LIKEWISE MA
KE THEIR BREEDING=PLACES, AND MANY PLACES ALONG ALL THE COAST ON THE MAIN OF THE
 $WEST=INDIES, FROM $TRINIDADO TO $LA_VERA_CRUZ, IN THE BAY OF $NOVA_HISPANIA.
0535-ED/1697:054(054) WHEN A SEA=TURTLE TURNS OUT OF THE SEA TO LAY, SHE IS AT L
EAST AN HOUR BEFORE SHE RETURNS AGAIN, FOR SHE IS TO GO ABOVE HIGH=WATER MARK, A
ND IF IT BE LOW=WATER WHEN SHE COMES ASHORE, SHE MUST REST ONCE OR TWICE, BEING
HEAVY, BEFORE SHE COMES TO THE PLACE WHERE SHE LAYS.
0536-ED/1697:055(045) WHEN SHE HATH FOUND A PLACE FOR HER PURPOSE, SHE MAKES A G
REAT HOLE WITH HER FINS IN THE SAND, WHEREIN SHE LAYS HER EGGS, THEN COVERS THEM
 2 FOOT DEEP WITH THE SAME SAND WHICH SHE THREW OUT OF THE HOLE, AND SO RETURNS.

0537-ED/1697:056(048) SOMETIMES THEY COME UP THE NIGHT BEFORE THEY INTEND TO LAY
, AND TAKE A VIEW OF THE PLACE, AND SO HAVING MADE A TOUR, OR SEMI=CIRCULAR MARC
H, THEY RETURN TO THE SEA AGAIN, AND THEY NEVER FAIL TO COME ASHORE THE NEXT NIG
HT TO LAY NEAR THAT PLACE.
0538-ED/1697:057(010) ALL SORTS OF TURTLE USE THE SAME METHODS IN LAYING.
0539-ED/1697:058(034) I KNEW A MAN IN $JAMAICA, THAT MADE 8 POUND STERLING OF TH
E SHELL OF THESE HAWKS=BILL TURTLE, WHICH HE GOT IN ONE SEASON, AND IN ONE SMALL
 BAY, NOT HALF A MILE LONG.
0540-ED/1697:059(029) THE MANNER OF TAKING THEM IS TO WATCH THE BAY, BY WALKING
FROM ONE PART TO THE OTHER ALL NIGHT, MAKING NO NOISE, NOR KEEPING ANY SORT OF L
IGHT.
0541-ED/1697:060(028) WHEN THE TURTLE COMES ASHORE, THE MAN THAT WATCHES FOR THE
M TURNS THEM ON THEIR BACKS, THEN HALES THEM ABOVE HIGH=WATER MARK, AND LEAVES T
HEM TILL THE MORNING.
0542-ED/1697:061(016) A LARGE GREEN TURTLE, WITH HER WEIGHT AND STRUGGLING, WILL
 PUZZLE 2 MEN TO TURN HER.
0543-ED/1697:062(020) THE HAWKS=BILL TURTLE ARE NOT ONLY FOUND IN THE $WEST=INDI
ES, BUT ON THE COAST OF $GUINEA, AND IN THE $EAST=INDIES.
0544-ED/1697:063(007) I NEVER SAW ANY IN THE $SOUTH=SEAS.
0545-ED/1697:064(014) THE GREEN TURTLE ARE SO CALLED, BECAUSE THEIR SHELL IS GRE
ENER THAN ANY OTHER.
0546-ED/1697:065(021) IT IS VERY THIN AND CLEAR, AND BETTER CLOUDED THAN THE HAW
KS=BILL; BUT 'TIS USED ONLY FOR INLAYS, BEING EXTRAORDINARY THIN.
0547-ED/1697:066(016) THESE TURTLES ARE GENERALLY LARGER THAN THE HAWKS=BILL; ON
E WILL WEIGH 2 OR 3 HUNDRED POUND.
0548-ED/1697:067(012) THEIR BACKS ARE FLATTER THAN THE HAWKS=BILL, THEIR HEADS R
OUND AND SMALL.
0549-ED/1697:068(024) GREEN TURTLE ARE THE SWEETEST OF ALL THE KINDS: BUT THERE
ARE DEGREES OF THEM, BOTH IN RESPECT TO THEIR FLESH AND THEIR BIGNESS.
0550-ED/1697:069(026) I HAVE OBSERVED THAT AT $BLANCO IN THE $WEST=INDIES, THE G
REEN TURTLE (WHICH IS THE ONLY KIND THERE) ARE LARGER THAN ANY OTHER IN THE $NOR
TH=SEAS.
0551-ED/1697:070(022) THERE THEY WILL COMMONLY WEIGH 280 OR 300 POUND: THEIR FAT
 IS YELLOW, AND THE LEAN WHITE, AND THEIR FLESH EXTRAORDINARY SWEET.
0552-ED/1697:071(020) AT $BOCA_TORO, WEST OF $PORTOBEL, THEY ARE NOT SO LARGE, T
HEIR FLESH NOT SO WHITE, NOR THE FAT SO YELLOW.
0553-ED/1697:072(027) THOSE IN THE BAY OF $HONDURAS AND $CAMPEACHY ARE SOMEWHAT
SMALLER STILL; THEIR FAT IS GREEN, AND THE LEAN OF A DARKER COLOUR THAN THOSE AT
 $BOCA_TORO.
0554-ED/1697:073(065) I HEARD OF A MONSTROUS GREEN TURTLE ONCE TAKEN AT $PORT=RO
YAL, IN THE BAY OF $CAMPEACHY THAT WAS FOUR FOOT DEEP FROM THE BACK TO THE BELLY
, AND THE BELLY SIX FOOT BROAD; CAPTAIN $ROCH'S SON, OF ABOUT NINE OR TEN YEARS
OF AGE, WENT IN IT AS IN A BOAT, ON BOARD HIS FATHER'S SHIP, ABOUT A QUARTER OF
A MILE FROM THE SHORE.
0555-ED/1697:074(009) THE LEAVES OF FAT AFFORDED EIGHT GALLONS OF OIL.
0556-ED/1697:075(038) THE TURTLE THAT LIVE AMONG THE KEYS, OR SMALL ISLANDS ON T
HE SOUTH=SIDE OF $CUBA, ARE A MIX'D SORT, SOME BIGGER, SOME LESS; AND SO THEIR F
LESH IS OF A MIX'D COLOUR, SOME GREEN, SOME DARK, SOME YELLOWISH.
0557-ED/1697:076(018) WITH THESE $PORT=ROYAL IN $JAMAICA IS CONSTANTLY SUPPLIED,
 BY SLOOPS THAT COME HITHER WITH NETS TO TAKE THEM.
0558-ED/1697:077(044) THEY CARRY THEM ALIVE TO $JAMAICA, WHERE THE TURTLES HAVE
WIRES MADE WITH STAKES IN THE SEA, TO PRESERVE THEM ALIVE; AND THE MARKET IS EVE
RY DAY PLENTIFULLY STORED WITH TURTLE, IT BEING THE COMMON FOOD THERE, CHIEFLY F
OR THE ORDINARY SORT OF PEOPLE.
0559-EP/1697:001(038) IN THE TWELFTH YEAR OF HIS PRETENDED MISSION, IS PLACED TH
E $MESRA, THAT IS, HIS FAMOUS NIGHT=JOURNEY FROM $MECCA TO $JERUSALEM, AND FROM
THENCE TO HEAVEN, OF WHICH HE TELLS US IN THE SEVENTEENTH CHAPTER OF HIS "ALCORA
N".
0560-EP/1697:002(051) FOR THE PEOPLE CALLING ON HIM FOR MIRACLES TO PROVE HIS MI
SSION, AND HE BEING ABLE TO WORK NONE, TO SALVE THE MATTER, HE INVENTS THIS STOR
Y OF HIS JOURNEY TO HEAVEN; WHICH MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED TO HAVE MIRACLE ENOUGH IN
 IT, BY ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE IT.
0561-EP/1697:003(060) AND YET IT BEING BELIEVED BY ALL THAT PROFESS THE $MAHOMET
AN RELIGION, AS A MAIN ARTICLE OF THEIR FAITH, AND AS SUCH SET DOWN IN ALL THE B
OOKS OF THEIR AUTHENTICK TRADITIONS, HOW ABSURD SOEVER IT BE, SINCE MY DESIGN IS
 TO GIVE AS FULL AN ACCOUNT AS I CAN OF THIS MAN'S IMPOSTURE, IT OBLIGETH ME TO
RELATE IT.
0562-EP/1697:004(088) HIS RELATION OF IT IS AS FOLLOWETH: AT NIGHT, AS HE LAY IN
 HIS BED WITH HIS BEST BELOVED WIFE $AYESHA, HE HEARD A KNOCKING AT HIS DOOR, WH
EREON ARISING, HE FOUND THERE THE ANGEL $GABRIEL, WITH SEVENTY PAIR OF WINGS EXP
ANDED FROM HIS SIDES, WHITER THAN SNOW, AND CLEARER THAN CRYSTAL, AND THE BEAST
$ALBORAK STANDING BY HIM, WHICH THEY SAY IS THE BEAST ON WHICH THE PROPHETS USED
 TO RIDE, WHEN THEY WERE CARRIED FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, UPON THE EXECUTION O
F ANY DIVINE COMMAND.
0563-EP/1697:005(069) $MAHOMET DESCRIBES IT TO BE A BEAST AS WHITE AS MILK, AND
OF A MIXT NATURE BETWEEN AN ASS AND A MULE, AND ALSO OF A SIZE BETWEEN BOTH, AND
 OF THAT EXTRAORDINARY SWIFTNESS, THAT HIS PASSING FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER, WA
S AS QUICK AS THAT OF LIGHTENING; AND FROM HENCE IT IS THAT HE HATH THE NAME OF
$ALBORAK, THAT WORD SIGNIFYING LIGHTENING IN THE $ARABIC TONGUE.
0564-EP/1697:006(069) AS SOON AS $MAHOMET APPEARED AT THE DOOR, THE ANGEL $GABRI
EL MOST KINDLY EMBRACING HIM, DID WITH A VERY SWEET AND PLEASING COUNTENANCE SAL
UTE HIM IN THE NAME OF $GOD, AND TOLD HIM THAT HE WAS SENT TO BRING HIM UNTO $GO
D INTO HEAVEN, WHERE HE SHOULD SEE STRANGE MYSTERIES, WHICH WERE NOT LAWFUL TO B
E SEEN BY ANY OTHER MAN, AND THEN BID HIM GET UPON THE $ALBORAK.
0565-EP/1697:007(101) BUT THE BEAST, IT SEEMS, HAVING LONG LAIN IDLE FROM THE TI
ME OF $CHRIST TILL $MAHOMET (THERE HAVING BEEN NO PROPHET IN ALL THAT INTERVAL T
O EMPLOY HIM) WAS GROWN SO RESTY AND SKITTISH, THAT HE WOULD NOT STAND STILL FOR
 $MAHOMET TO GET UP UPON HIM, TILL AT LENGTH HE WAS FORCED TO BRIBE HIM TO IT, B
Y PROMISING HIM A PLACE IN PARADISE; WHEREON HAVING QUIETLY TAKEN HIM ON HIS BAC
K, THE ANGEL $GABRIEL LEADING THE WAY WITH THE BRIDLE OF THE BEAST IN HIS HAND,
HE CARRIED HIM FROM $MECCA TO $JERUSALEM IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE.
0566-EP/1697:008(038) ON HIS COMING THITHER, ALL THE PROPHETS AND SAINTS DEPARTE
D, APPEARED AT THE GATE OF THE TEMPLE TO SALUTE HIM, AND FROM THENCE ATTENDING H
IM INTO THE CHIEF ORATORY, DESIRED HIM TO PRAY FOR THEM, AND THEN DEPARTED.
0567-EP/1697:009(036) WHEREON $MAHOMET WITH THE ANGEL $GABRIEL GOING OUT OF THE
TEMPLE, FOUND THERE A LADDER OF LIGHT READY FIXED FOR THEM, WHICH THEY IMMEDIATE
LY ASCENDED, LEAVING THE $ALBORAK THERE TIED AT A ROCK TILL THEIR RETURN.
0568-EP/1697:010(051) ON THEIR ARRIVAL AT THE FIRST HEAVEN, THE ANGEL $GABRIEL K
NOCKED AT THE GATE, AND HAVING INFORMED THE PORTER WHO HE WAS, AND THAT HE BROUG
HT $MAHOMET THE FRIEND OF $GOD WITH HIM BY THE DIVINE COMMAND, THE GATES WERE IM
MEDIATELY OPENED, WHICH HE DESCRIBES TO BE OF A PRODIGIOUS LARGENESS.
0569-EP/1697:011(071) THIS FIRST HEAVEN HE TELLS US WAS ALL OF PURE SILVER, AND
THAT HE THERE SAW THE STARS HANGING FROM IT BY CHAINS OF GOLD, EACH BEING OF THE
 BIGNESS OF MOUNT $NOHO, NEAR $MECCA IN $ARABIA; AND THAT IN THESE STARS ANGELS
KEPT WATCH AND WARD FOR THE GUARD OF HEAVEN, TO KEEP OFF THE DEVILS FROM APPROAC
HING NEAR IT, LEST THEY SHOULD OVERHEAR AND KNOW WHAT WAS THERE DONE.
0570-EP/1697:012(041) ON HIS FIRST ENTRING INTO THIS HEAVEN, HE SAITH HE MET AN
OLD DECREPIT MAN, AND THIS WAS OUR FIRST FATHER $ADAM, WHO IMMEDIATELY EMBRACED
HIM, GIVING $GOD THANKS FOR SO GREAT A SON, AND THEN RECOMMENDED HIMSELF TO HIS
PRAYERS.
0571-EP/1697:013(036) AS HE ENTRED FURTHER, HE SAW A MULTITUDE OF ANGELS OF ALL
MANNER OF SHAPES; SOME IN THAT OF MEN, OTHERS IN THAT OF BIRDS, AND OTHERS IN TH
AT OF BEASTS OF ALL MANNER OF SORTS.
0572-EP/1697:014(066) AND AMONG THOSE WHO APPEARED IN THE SEVERAL SHAPES OF BIRD
S, HE THERE SAW A COCK OF COLOUR AS WHITE AS SNOW, AND OF SO PRODIGIOUS A BIGNES
S, THAT HIS FEET STANDING UPON THE FIRST HEAVEN, HIS HEAD REACHED UP TO THE SECO
ND, WHICH WAS AT THE DISTANCE OF FIVE HUNDRED YEARS JOURNEY FROM IT, ACCORDING T
O THE RATE AS WE USUALLY TRAVEL HERE ON EARTH.
0573-EP/1697:015(087) BUT OTHERS AMONG THEM, AS THEY RELATE THIS MATTER FROM THE
IR PROPHET, HYPERBOLIZE MUCH HIGHER CONCERNING IT, TELLING US, THAT THE HEAD OF
THIS COCK REACHETH UP THROUGH ALL THE SEVEN HEAVENS, AS FAR AS THE THRONE OF $GO
D, WHICH IS ABOVE SEVEN TIMES HIGHER; AND IN THE DESCRIPTION OF HIM, SAY, THAT H
IS WINGS ARE ALL OVER DECKED WITH CARBUNCLES AND PEARLS, AND THAT HE EXTENDS THE
 ONE OF THEM TO THE EAST, AND THE OTHER TO THE WEST, AT A DISTANCE PROPORTIONABL
E TO HIS HEIGHT.
0574-EP/1697:016(030) CONCERNING ALL THESE, THE IMPOSTOR TELLS US THE ANGEL $GAB
RIEL INFORMED HIM, THAT THEY WERE ANGELS WHICH DID FROM THENCE INTERCEDE WITH $G
OD FOR ALL LIVING CREATURES ON THE EARTH.
0575-EP/1697:017(037) THAT THOSE WHO INTERCEDED FOR MEN, HAD THERE THE SHAPE OF
MEN; THAT THOSE WHO INTERCEDED FOR BEASTS, THE SHAPE OF BEASTS; AND THOSE WHO IN
TERCEDED FOR BIRDS, THE SHAPE OF BIRDS, ACCORDING TO THEIR SEVERAL KINDS.
0576-EP/1697:018(067) AND THAT AS TO THE GREAT COCK, THAT HE WAS THE CHIEF ANGEL
 OF THE COCKS; THAT EVERY MORNING $GOD SINGING AN HOLY HYMN, THIS COCK CONSTANTL
Y JOINED WITH HIM IN IT BY HIS CROWING, WHICH IS SO LOUD, THAT ALL HEAR IT THAT
ARE IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, EXCEPT MEN AND FAIRIES, AND THEN ALL THE OTHER COCKS TH
AT ARE IN HEAVEN AND EARTH CROW ALSO.
0577-EP/1697:019(063) BUT WHEN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT DRAWS NEAR, THEN $GOD SHALL C
OMMAND HIM TO DRAW IN HIS WINGS, AND CROW NO MORE, WHICH SHALL BE A SIGN, THAT T
HAT DAY IS AT HAND, TO ALL THAT ARE IN HEAVEN AND EARTH, EXCEPTING STILL MEN AND
 FAIRIES, WHO BEING AFORE DEAF TO HIS CROWING, SHALL NOT THEN BE SENSIBLE OF HIS
 SILENCE FROM IT.
0578-EP/1697:020(085) AND THIS COCK THE $MAHOMETANS LOOK ON TO BE IN THAT GREAT
FAVOUR WITH $GOD, THAT WHEREAS IT IS A COMMON SAYING AMONG THEM, THAT THERE ARE
THREE VOICES WHICH $GOD ALWAYS HEARS; THEY RECKON THE FIRST THE VOICE OF HIM THA
T IS CONSTANT IN READING THE "ALCORAN"; THE SECOND, THE VOICE OF HIM THAT EARLY
EVERY MORNING PRAYETH FOR THE PARDON OF HIS SINS; AND THE THIRD, THE VOICE OF TH
IS COCK WHEN HE CROWETH, WHICH THEY SAY IS EVER MOST ACCEPTABLE UNTO HIM.
0579-EP/1697:021(014) ALL THIS STUFF OF THE COCK, $ABDOLLA HELPED $MAHOMET TO OU
T OF THE "TALMUDISTS".
0580-EP/1697:022(020) FOR IT IS ALL BORROWED FROM THEM, WITH SOME LITTLE VARIATI
ON ONLY, TO MAKE IT LOOK NOT TOTALLY THE SAME.
0581-EC/1698:001(011) THE SATIR OF THE STAGE UPON THE CLERGY IS EXTREMELY PARTIC
ULAR.
0582-EC/1698:002(014) IN OTHER CASES, THEY LEVEL AT A SINGLE MARK, AND CONFINE T
HEMSELVES TO PERSONS.
0583-EC/1698:003(015) BUT HERE THEIR BUFFOONRY TAKES AN UNUSUAL COMPASS: THAY SH
OOT CHAIN'D=SHOT, AND STRIKE AT UNIVERSALS.
0584-EC/1698:004(016) THEY PLAY UPON THE CHARACTER, AND ENDEAVOUR TO EXPOSE NOT
ONLY THE MEN, BUT THE BUSINESS.
0585-EC/1698:005(012) 'TIS TRUE, THE CLERGY ARE NO SMALL RUB IN THE POET'S WAY.

0586-EC/1698:006(019) 'TIS BY THEIR MINISTRATIONS THAT RELIGION IS PERPETUATED,
THE OTHER WORLD REFRESH'D, AND THE INTEREST OF VIRTUE KEPT UP.
0587-EC/1698:007(023) VICE WILL NEVER HAVE AN UNLIMITED RANGE, NOR CONSCIENCE BE
 TOTALLY SUBDUED, AS LONG AS PEOPLE ARE SO EASY AS TO BE PRIEST=RIDDEN.
0588-EC/1698:008(050) AS LONG AS THESE MEN ARE LOOK'D ON AS THE MESSENGERS OF HE
AVEN, AND THE SUPPORTS OF GOVERNMENT, AND ENJOY THEIR OLD PRETENTIONS IN CREDIT
AND AUTHORITY; AS LONG AS THIS GRIEVANCE CONTINUES; THE STAGE MUST DECLINE OF CO
URSE, AND ATHEISM GIVE GROUND, AND LEWDNESS LIE UNDER CENSURE, AND DISCOURAGEMEN
T.
0589-EC/1698:009(021) THEREFORE THAT LIBERTY MAY NOT BE EMBARRASS'D, NOR PRINCIP
LES MAKE HEAD AGAINST PLEASURE, THE CLERGY MUST BE ATTACK'D, AND RENDRED RIDICUL
OUS.
0590-EC/1698:010(017) TO REPRESENT A PERSON FAIRLY AND WITHOUT DISSERVICE TO HIS
 REPUTATION, TWO THINGS ARE TO BE OBSERV'D.
0591-EC/1698:011(018) FIRST, HE MUST NOT BE ILL USED BY OTHERS: NOR, SECONDLY, B
E MADE TO PLAY THE FOOL HIMSELF.
0592-EC/1698:012(027) THIS LATTER WAY OF ABUSE IS RATHER THE WORST, BECAUSE HERE
 A MAN IS A SORT OF <FELO DE SE>; AND APPEARS RIDICULOUS BY HIS OWN FAULT.
0593-EC/1698:013(011) THE CONTRADICTION OF BOTH THESE METHODS IS PRACTISED BY TH
E STAGE.
0594-EC/1698:014(018) TO MAKE SURE WORK ON'T, THEY LEAVE NO STONE UNTURN'D, THE
WHOLE COMMON=PLACE OF RUDENESS IS RUN THROUGH.
0595-EC/1698:015(020) THEY STRAIN THEIR INVENTION AND THEIR MALICE: AND OVERLOOK
 NOTHING IN ILL NATURE, OR ILL MANNERS TO GAIN THEIR POINT.
0596-EC/1698:016(033) THE LINES OF VIRTUE AND VICE ARE STRUCK OUT BY NATURE IN V
ERY LEGIBLE DISTINCTIONS; THEY TEND TO A DIFFERENT POINT, AND IN THE GREATER INS
TANCES THE SPACE BETWEEN THEM IS EASILY PERCEIV'D.
0597-EC/1698:017(042) NOTHING CAN BE MORE UNLIKE THAN THE ORIGINAL FORMS OF THES
E QUALITIES: THE FIRST HAS ALL THE SWEETNESS, CHARMS, AND GRACES IMAGINABLE; THE
 OTHER HAS THE AIR OF A POST ILL CARVED INTO A MONSTER, AND LOOKS BOTH FOOLISH A
ND FRIGHTFUL TOGETHER.
0598-EC/1698:018(030) THESE ARE THE NATIVE APPEARANCES OF GOOD AND EVIL: AND THE
Y THAT ENDEAVOUR TO BLOT THE DISTINCTIONS, TO RUB OUT THE COLOURS, OR CHANGE THE
 MARKS, ARE EXTREAMLY TO BLAME.
0599-EC/1698:019(020) 'TIS CONFESSED AS LONG AS THE MIND IS AWAKE, AND CONSCIENC
E GOES TRUE, THERE'S NO FEAR OF BEING IMPOSED ON.
0600-EC/1698:020(037) BUT WHEN VICE IS VARNISH'D OVER WITH PLEASURE, AND COMES I
N THE SHAPE OF CONVENIENCE, THE CASE GROWS SOMEWHAT DANGEROUS; FOR THEN THE FANC
Y MAY BE GAIN'D, AND THE GUARDS CORRUPTED, AND REASON SUBORN'D AGAINST IT SELF.

0601-EC/1698:021(013) AND THUS A DISGUISE OFTEN PASSES WHEN THE PERSON WOULD OTH
ERWISE BE STOPT.
0602-EC/1698:022(039) TO PUT LEWDNESS INTO A THRIVING CONDITION, TO GIVE IT AN E
QUIPAGE OF QUALITY, AND TO TREAT IT WITH CEREMONY AND RESPECT, IS THE WAY TO CON
FOUND THE UNDERSTANDING, TO FORTIFY THE CHARM, AND TO MAKE THE MISCHIEF INVINCIB
LE.
0603-EC/1698:023(058) INNOCENCE IS OFTEN OWING TO FEAR, AND APPETITE IS KEPT UND
ER BY SHAME; BUT WHEN THESE RESTRAINTS ARE ONCE TAKEN OFF, WHEN PROFIT AND LIBER
TY LIE ON THE SAME SIDE, AND A MAN CAN DEBAUCH HIMSELF INTO CREDIT, WHAT CAN BE
EXPECTED IN SUCH A CASE, BUT THAT PLEASURE SHOULD GROW ABSOLUTE, AND MADNESS CAR
RY ALL BEFORE IT?
0604-EC/1698:024(027) THE STAGE SEEMS EAGER TO BRING MATTERS TO THIS ISSUE; THEY
 HAVE MADE A CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS, AND ARE STILL PUSHING THEIR POINT WITH ALL T
HE VIGOUR IMAGINABLE.
0605-EC/1698:025(016) IF THIS BE NOT THEIR AIM WHY IS LEWDNESS SO MUCH CONSIDER'
D IN CHARACTER AND SUCCESS?
0606-EC/1698:026(010) WHY ARE THEIR FAVOURITES ATHEISTICAL, AND THEIR FINE GENTL
EMEN DEBAUCHED?
0607-EC/1698:027(014) TO WHAT PURPOSE IS VICE THUS PREFER'D, THUS ORNAMENTED, AN
D CARESS'D, UNLESS FOR IMITATION?
0608-EC/1698:028(013) THAT MATTER OF FACT STANDS THUS, I SHALL MAKE GOOD BY SEVE
RAL INSTANCES.
0609-EC/1698:029(010) TO BEGIN THEN WITH THEIR MEN OF BREEDING AND FIGURE.
0610-EI/1698:001(021) I SAY, IF THESE THINGS ARE NOT POSSIBLE TO ANY THINKING MA
N, THEN EPISCOPACY MUST BE THE PRIMITIVE AND APOSTOLICAL INSTITUTION.
0611-EI/1698:002(073) AND IT IS AS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE OTHERWISE, AS TO SUPPOSE THA
T ALL THE GREAT MONARCHIES IN THE WORLD SHOU'D BE TURN'D INTO COMMON=WEALTHS, OR
 THE COMMON=WEALTHS INTO MONARCHIES, ALL AT ONE INSTANT, AND YET (TOO) THAT NO B
ODY SHOU'D KNOW IT, OR THAT THOSE WHO WROTE THE HISTORIES OF THOSE TIMES, SHOU'D
 TAKE NO NOTICE OF IT; OR ANY MAN BE FOUND TO ASSERT HIS LIBERTY AND FREEDOM AGA
INST SUCH FLAGRANT USURPATIONS.
0612-EI/1698:003(025) OR THAT NONE OF THOSE WHO HAD THE GOVERNMENT BEFORE SHOU'D
 COMPLAIN OF ANY WRONG DONE TO THEM, OR SET UP THEIR CLAIM - .
0613-EI/1698:004(015) SUCH REVOLUTIONS COU'D NOT HAPPEN, BUT THEY WOU'D HAVE SET
 THE WORLD IN A FLAME.
0614-EI/1698:005(039) AND IF PRESBYTERY, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF GOVERNMENT EXCEPT
EPISCOPACY, HAD BEEN THE PRIMITIVE INSTITUTION, THE BISHOPS COU'D NEVER HAVE STO
LEN THEMSELVES INTO POSSESSION, AND USURP'D UPON ALL CHURCHES WITHOUT ANY NOTICE
, AND WITHOUT VAST STRUGGLING AND CONTEST.
0615-EI/1698:006(018) IS NOT THE CHANGE OF CHURCH=GOVERNMENT IN $SCOTLAND FROM E
PISCOPACY TO PRESBYTERY SINCE THE REVOLUTION, VERY WELL KNOWN?
0616-EI/1698:007(017) AND WAS IT NOT KNOWN, THAT THE $CHURCH OF $ENGLAND WAS OVE
RTHROWN IN THE TIMES OF USURPATION?
0617-EI/1698:008(013) IS THERE ANY HISTORY OF THOSE TIMES DOES NOT MAKE MENTION
OF IT?
0618-EI/1698:009(029) HOW THEN CAN WE SUPPOSE THAT EPISCOPACY (IF AN USURPATION)
 SHOU'D HAVE PREVAIL'D IN ALL THE CHURCHES OF THE WORLD, WITHOUT THE LEAST NOTIC
E OR OPPOSITION BY ANY WHATSOEVER?
0619-EI/1698:010(062) THIS BEING SETTLED TO A DEMONSTRATION, I WOU'D NEXT LAY BE
FORE OUR UNHAPPY DISSENTING BRETHREN WHAT THE CONSEQUENCE WILL BE, IF WE WILLFUL
LY AND WITHOUT ANY NECESSITY BREAK OFF FROM EPISCOPACY, WHICH HAS DESCENDED TO U
S FROM THE APOSTLES, BY AS CLEAR AND EVIDENT FACT AS THAT THERE WERE EMPEROURS I
N $ROME AFTER $CAESAR, OR KINGS IN $ENGLAND SINCE $WILLIAM THE $CONQUEROUR.
0620-EI/1698:011(020) FOR IT IS AS EVIDENT IN ALL ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORIES, THAT
 THERE WERE BISHOPS IN ALL CHURCHES FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.
0621-EI/1698:012(046) IF BISHOPS THEN WERE CONSTITUTED AS GOVERNORS OF CHURCHES,
 HE THAT DISOWNS THE GOVERNOR OF ANY SOCIETY OR CORPORATION DISOWNS THE GOVERNME
NT OF IT, AND CANNOT BE CALL'D A MEMBER OF SUCH A SOCIETY, AND CONSEQUENTLY HAS
NO TITLE OR RIGHT TO THE PRIVILEGES OF IT.
0622-EI/1698:013(013) THIS IS EVIDENT BOTH IN FACT AND REASON EVERY DAY BEFORE O
UR EYES.
0623-EI/1698:014(012) AND THE $DISSENTERS WILL ALLOW IT IN EVERY CASE BUT THEIR
OWN.
0624-EI/1698:015(010) AND IN THEIR OWN, WHEN ANY BREAK OFF FROM THEM.
0625-EI/1698:016(030) THEREFORE I WOU'D EARNESTLY EXHORT THEM TO CONSIDER OF THE
IR CASE, AND IT MUST BE THE SAME IN THEIR CASE AS IN OTHERS, FOR THAT THE REASON
 IS THE SAME.
0626-EI/1698:017(046) AND IF SO, THEN THEIR ORDINATIONS IN OPPOSITION TO EPISCOP
ACY ARE NOT ONLY INVALID BUT SACRILEGE, AND REBELLION AGAINST $CHRIST WHO DID IN
STITUTE THIS SOCIETY, AND GAVE THEM THEIR CHARTER, AND IF THEIR ORDINATIONS ARE
NULL, THEN THEIR BAPTISMS ARE SO TOO, AND ALL THEIR ORDINANCES.
0627-EI/1698:018(030) THEY ARE OUT OF THE VISIBLE CHURCH, AND HAVE NO RIGHT TO A
NY OF THE PROMISES IN THE GOSPEL, WHICH ARE ALL MADE TO THE CHURCH, AND TO NONE
OTHER.
0628-EI/1698:019(067) NAY, BAPTISM BY ANY OTHER LAY=MEN OR BY A MID=WIFE IN CASE
 OF NECESSITY, IS MORE EXCUSABLE, AND I SHOU'D HAVE A LESS SIN TO ANSWER FOR, IF
 I SHOU'D SUFFER MY CHILD TO BE BAPTIZ'D BY SUCH AN ONE; THAN BY THOSE WHO PRETE
ND TO HAVE ORDINATION, BUT HAVE NONE, EXCEPT WHAT IS WORSE THAN NONE, THAT IS, W
HAT IS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE CHURCH.
0629-EI/1698:020(053) FOR THE FIRST OF THESE PRETEND TO NO COMMISSION OR AUTHORI
TY, BUT EXCUSE THEMSELVES PURELY UPON THE POINT OF NECESSITY, AND WOU'D NOT HAVE
 THOUGHT IT LAWFUL FOR THEM TO DO IF ANY CLERGY=MAN HAD BEEN PRESENT: WHEREAS TH
E OTHER CLAIM IT AS THEIR RIGHT, AND IN PREFERENCE TO THE BISHOPS OR CLERGY.
0630-EI/1698:021(030) THE DIFFERENCE SEEMS TO ME; AS IF IN MY ABSENCE ONE SHOU'D
 BREAK OPEN MY DOORS ON SUPPOSITION OF A FIRE, AND AN HOUSE=BREAKER SHOU'D DO IT
 TO ROB ME.
0631-EI/1698:022(060) IF WE CANNOT HAVE THE ORDINANCES AS $CHRIST HAS COMMANDED
THEM, IT IS MORE DUTIFUL TO $GOD, AND EXPRESSES GREATER HUMILITY IN OUR SELVES,
TO PRAY HIM NOT TO IMPUTE THE WANT OF THEM TO US, THAN TO TAKE UPON US TO INSTIT
UTE NEW ORDINANCES, OR SET UP A NEW PRIESTHOOD OF OUR OWN HEADS, AS $JEREBOAM AN
D $MICAH DID.
0632-EI/1698:023(061) BUT IT IS CERTAINLY LESS CULPABLE FOR A LAY=MAN TO DO SOME
 ONE PRIESTLY ACT, AS TO BAPTIZE, ETC UPON A NECESSITY, AND WHERE NO CLERGY=MAN
IS TO BE HAD, THAN IF HE SHOU'D SET UP FALSE ORDERS, AND PRETEND TO THE SACRED O
FFICE, AND GATHER CONGREGATIONS AFTER HIM, IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THE CHURCH, A
ND TO TEAR HER IN PIECES.
0633-EI/1698:024(008) THERE IS NO COMPARISON BETWIXT THESE TWO CASES.
0634-EI/1698:025(017) I ASK ANY SOBER MAN, NAY, ANY MAN OF BUT COMMON SENSE OR R
EASON, THIS ONE QUESTION.
0635-EI/1698:026(040) SUPPOSE YOU HAD A GRANT OF AN ESTATE OR OFFICE FROM THE KI
NG, BUT IT WAS TO PASS THE GREAT SEAL; AND MY LORD CHANCELLOR NOT BEING IN THE W
AY, WOU'D YOU COUNTERFEIT THE GREAT SEAL TO SECURE YOUR GRANT?
0636-EI/1698:027(024) NO, SURELY; FOR IF YOU DID, (I HAVE A STRONG FANCY) YOU WO
U'D LOSE YOUR GRANT, AND BE HANG'D FOR TREASON INTO THE BARGAIN.
0637-EI/1698:028(031) I VERILY BELIEVE YOU'D THINK IT MUCH SAFER TO TRUST THE KI
NG'S PROMISE, AND TELL HIM HOW IT WAS NOT IN YOUR POWER TO HAVE THE GREAT=SEAL P
UT TO THE GRANT.
0638-EI/1698:029(019) WITHOUT DOUBT YOU ARE OF OPINION, THAT THIS WOU'D BE THE M
OST SAFE AND WISE COURSE YOU COU'D TAKE.
0639-EI/1698:030(019) AND THE KING WOU'D (SURELY) LAY NO BLAME UPON YOU FOR WHAT
 WAS NOT IN YOUR POWER TO HELP.
0640-EI/1698:031(004) NOW I APPLY IT.
0641-EI/1698:032(011) WE HAVE A PROMISE OF SALVATION BY THE REDEMPTION OF $CHRIS
T.
0642-EI/1698:033(013) BUT IT IS REQUIR'D THAT THIS GRANT BE SIGN'D AND SEAL'D BY
 BAPTISM.
0643-EI/1698:034(060) THE APOSTLES, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS THE BISHOPS OF THE CHUR
CH, ARE THOSE EMPOWER'D BY $CHRIST TO AFFIX THIS SEAL OF BAPTISM TO THE GRANT, E
ITHER BY THEMSELVES, OR THEIR LAWFUL DEPUTIES WHOM THEY SHALL EMPOWER TO DO IT:
SUCH AS THE PRIESTS AND DEACONS, TO WHOM THEY GIVE THIS COMMISSION BY SOLEMN WOR
DS, AND THE LAYING ON OF THEIR HANDS.
0644-EI/1698:035(015) NOW, SUPPOSE I WERE IN A PLACE WHERE NONE OF THESE WERE TO
 BE HAD.
0645-EI/1698:036(010) SHALL I TAKE UPON ME TO AFFIX THE SEAL MYSELF?
0646-EI/1698:037(034) OR SHALL I CONSTITUTE PRIESTS OR DEACONS TO AFFIX IT FOR M
E, OR SHALL I RATHER CHUSE TO WANT IT, SINCE I CANNOT HAVE THE PROPER OFFICERS,
AND TRUST TO THE MERCY OF $CHRIST?
0647-EI/1698:038(008) I AM SURE I SHOU'D CHUSE THE LAST.
0648-EI/1698:039(100) IT WOU'D BE MUCH GREATER HUMILITY IN ME, AND TRUST IN $GOD
 TOO, WHO, I WOU'D NOT DOUBT, WOU'D SUPPLY THE DEFECT WHICH WAS NOT IN MY POWER
TO HELP, THAN TO COUNTERFEIT THE GREAT SEAL OF HEAVEN, AND TO TAKE UPON ME TO AP
POINT OFFICERS TO REPRESENT $CHRIST, AND TO SIGN AND SEAL HIS COVENANT, AS HIS A
TTORNEYS, IN HIS NAME, TO WHOM HE GAVE NO SUCH COMMISSION; THIS WOU'D BE TO USUR
P THE PREROGATIVE OF THE GREAT AND TREMENDOUS $GOD, AND THE HIGHEST TREASON AGAI
NST THE MAJESTY OF HEAVEN, AGAINST THE KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
0649-EI/1698:040(019) I SHOU'D THINK MY GRANT MUCH MORE SECURE WITHOUT ANY SEAL,
 THAN WITH SUCH A SEAL, AND SO AFFIX'D.
0650-EI/1698:041(105) AND NOW I APPLY MYSELF WITH A $CHRISTIAN CONCERN TO OUR MI
SLED $DISSENTERS, AND LET THEM SEE AND CONSIDER, THAT WHEN THEY RECEIVE (WHAT TH
EY CALL) THE SACRAMENTS OF BAPTISM AND THE $LORD'S_SUPPER, IN THEIR CONGREGATION
S, THEY RECEIVE NO SACRAMENTS, NOR ARE THEIR CHILDREN BAPTIS'D ANY MORE THAN IF
A MID=WIFE HAD DONE IT: NAY, THAT IT HAD BEEN LESS GUILTILY DONE BY HER, IN CASE
 OF NECESSITY, THAN BY THE OTHERS IN THE ORDINARY WAY; WHOSE MINISTRATIONS ARE N
OT ONLY VOID, AND NULL, (IF THEY HAVE NOT A LAWFUL AUTHORITY) BUT ARE SACRILEGIO
US, AND LIKE THE OFFERINGS OF $KORAH, ARE REBELLION AGAINST THE LORD.
0651-EI/1698:042(032) AND WILL TENDER PARENTS CARRY THEIR CHILDREN TO, AT LEAST,
 DISPUTED BAPTISMS, WHILE THE $PRESBYTERIANS THEMSELVES DENY NOT THE VALIDITY OF
 EPISCOPAL ORDINATION, AND CONSEQUENTLY OF THE SACRAMENTS ADMINISTRED BY THEIR H
ANDS.
0652-EI/1698:043(036) WILL YOU RUN AN HAZARD THEN, WHERE YOUR SOULS ARE CONCERN'
D, AND OF YOUR CHILDREN, WHEN YOU MAY BE SURE, BY THE CONFESSION OF ALL PARTIES,
 EVEN OF THOSE MEN, WHO (THRO' IGNORANCE) UNHAPPILY MISLEAD YOU?
0653-EI/1698:044(027) O LAY YOUR HANDS UPON YOUR HEARTS, AND STAND NOT OUT WILFU
LLY AGAINST YOUR OWN SALVATION, AND IN SO PLAIN A CASE, WHERE YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE
.
0654-EI/1698:045(126) AND NOW, I AM WELL ASSUR'D, THAT TO THOSE WHO WITH UNPREJU
DIC'D MINDS SEEK FOR TRUTH: I SAY, I AM SURE, THAT WHAT HAS BEEN OFFER'D IN DEFE
NCE OF EPISCOPACY WILL APPEAR SUFFICIENT: YET, LEST ANY FOOLISH PERSON WHO STUDI
ES TO OBSCURE TRUTH FOR INTEREST, AND TO SUPPORT A BAD CAUSE, SHALL NOTWITHSTAND
ING ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID, MAKE USE OF THAT OLD THREAD BARE ARGUMENT, AND HARP
STILL UPON THE OLD WORN=OUT STRING, I MEAN THE ETYMOLOGY, THE SENSELESS JINGLE O
F THE WORDS BISHOP AND PRESBYTER; AND BECAUSE THE WORD PRESBYTER SOMETIMES SIGNI
FIES A BISHOP, AND THE WORD BISHOP SOMETIMES SIGNIFIES A PRESBYTER, AND THEREFOR
E THEY WILL (WITH JUST AS MUCH LEARNING AS MODESTY) STAND TO IT, THAT BISHOP AND
 PRESBYTER ARE THE SAME THING.
0655-EI/1698:046(038) OR IF ANY LEARNED GENTLEMAN, TO SHEW HIS PARTS, SHOU'D STI
LL PATRONIZE THIS FORSAKEN ARGUMENT, (THO' I AM CERTAIN THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL BE
 FULLY SATISFY'D, THAT THOSE WHO SHALL INSIST UPON IT, HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY)
.
0656-EI/1698:047(020) I SHALL NOW, THAT THE POOR PEOPLE MAY NOT BE DECEIVED WITH
 SUCH SENSELESS LOGOMACHY, SAY SOMETHING FURTHER TO IT.
0657-EI/1698:048(023) THE WORD <IMPERATOR>, WHICH WE TRANSLATE EMPEROR, SOMETIME
S SIGNIFIES THE GENERAL OF AN ARMY, OR ANY OTHER COMMANDER; FOR THE WORD SIGNIFI
ES COMMANDER.
0658-EI/1698:049(010) AND WE KNOW THAT MANY COMMAND BESIDES THE EMPEROR HIMSELF.

0659-EI/1698:050(088) NOW SUPPOSE ANY TO SHEW HIS WIT AND LEARNING, SHOU'D SET U
P A NEW HYPOTHESIS AND SAY, THAT THERE NEVER WAS AN EMPEROR IN $ROME; AND SUPPOR
T THIS LEARNED NONSENSE WITH ABUNDANCE OF QUOTATIONS OUT OF THE $ROMAN AUTHORS,
WHERE THE GENERAL OF AN ARMY WAS CALL'D <IMPERATOR>, AND THENCE SHOU'D MOST WISE
LY ARGUE THAT $CAESAR OR $AUGUSTUS, OR ANY OTHER OF THE $ROMAN EMPERORS, WERE NO
 MORE THAN BARE GENERALS OF ARMIES, BUT HAD NOTHING TO DO IN CIVIL AFFAIRS, OR W
ERE ANY CIVIL MAGISTRATES AT ALL.
0660-EI/1698:051(018) I SUPPOSE EVERY BODY WOU'D LAUGH AT HIM, OR IF HE WERE IN
EARNEST, THINK HIM A MADMAN.
0661-EI/1698:052(008) BECAUSE HE PLAY'D WITH WORDS AGAINST PLAIN FACT.
0662-EI/1698:053(014) AND ALL THE HISTORIES OF THOSE TIMES WOU'D CONTRADICT HIM
AND SHEW HIS FOLLY.
0663-EI/1698:054(035) WHEN I SEE THE PICTURES OF THE 12 $CAESARS OR EMPERORS OF
$ROME: I MEAN SO MANY KINGS WITH REGAL POWER, AND I HAVE BEEN ALWAYS TOLD SO, AN
D NEVER HEARD ANY BODY SAY OTHERWISE.
0664-EI/1698:055(015) AND THE SUCCESSION OF THE $ROMAN EMPIRE WAS DEDUC'D IN THE
 SUCCESSION OF THEIR EMPERORS.
0665-EI/1698:056(010) AND IT IS TOLD WHEN ONE EMPEROR DID SUCCEED ANOTHER.
0666-EI/1698:057(046) THERE WERE MANY <IMPERATORES>, THAT IS, GENERALS IN EVERY
ONE OF THESE REIGNS, AS IT IS WITH US; BUT THE GOVERNMENT WAS NOT DEDUC'D IN THE
 SUCCESSION OF THESE GENERALS, BUT ONLY OF THEIR KINGS OR EMPERORS, IN THE PROPE
R ACCEPTATION OF THE WORD, AS KINGS.
0667-EI/1698:058(039) AND I WILL APPEAL TO ANY LEARNED $DISSENTER IN THE WORLD,
WHETHER IN THE ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORIES, THE SUCCESSION OF ALL THE CHURCHES IS N
OT RECKON'D BY THE SUCCESSION OF THE BISHOPS ALONE, AND NOT OF THE PRESBYTERS OR
 DEACONS.
0668-EI/1698:059(005) THIS MAKES THE CASE CLEAR.
0669-EI/1698:060(010) AND THAT THE BISHOPS WERE THE GOVERNORS OF THE CHURCHES.
0670-EI/1698:061(047) AND AS I SAID BEFORE, HOW COU'D THESE BISHOPS HAVE THRUST
THEMSELVES THUS INTO THE CHIEF GOVERNMENT ALL THE WORLD OVER, WITHOUT ANY OPPOSI
TION, AND TO BE OWN'D AS SUCH, AND ACKNOWLEDG'D BY ALL, IF THE ORIGINAL INSTITUT
ION HAD BEEN PRESBYTERY OR ANY OTHER FRAME OF GOVERNMENT?
0671-EI/1698:062(054) OR IF THERE WERE $PRESBYTERIANS IN THOSE DAYS, (AS OUR $PR
ESBYTERIANS WOU'D HAVE US BELIEVE) THEY WERE MUCH MORE MODERATE AND COMPLAISANT
THAN OUR $PRESBYTERIANS, TO LET THE BISHOPS USURP UPON THEIR AUTHORITY, AND ENGR
OSS ALL INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, WITHOUT SO MUCH AS ONE REMONSTRANCE, OR THE LEAST
SNARL FROM ANY OF THEM.
0672-EI/1698:063(004) STRANGE - WONDROUS STRANGE.
0673-FF/1698:001(023) TO CONCLUDE, HE INSINUATES THE GREAT DANGER OF BEING PRESE
NT AT THOSE ENTERTAINMENTS; AND TELLS US ONE SAD EXAMPLE OF A DEMONIACK POSSESSI
ON.
0674-FF/1698:002(014) A CERTAIN WOMAN WENT TO THE PLAY=HOUSE, AND BROUGHT THE DE
VIL HOME WITH HER.
0675-FF/1698:003(018) AND WHEN THE UNCLEAN SPIRIT WAS PREST IN THE EXORCISM, AND
 ASK'D HOW HE DURST ATTACK A $CHRISTIAN?
0676-FF/1698:004(019) I HAVE DONE NOTHING (SAYS HE) BUT WHAT I CAN JUSTIFY; FOR
I SEIZ'D HER UPON MY OWN GROUND.
0677-FF/1698:005(016) BEFORE I ENTER UPON ANY OTHER ARGUMENT, I SHALL MAKE SOME
FEW REMARKS UPON THIS POSSESSION.
0678-FF/1698:006(058) I SHALL NOT DISPUTE $TERTULLIAN'S VERACITY IN THIS RELATIO
N; YET METHINKS, UPON A THOROUGH EXAMINATION, NEITHER $TERTULLIAN NOR MR $COLLIE
R HAVE OVER=WELL PROVED THE PLAY=HOUSE TO BE THE DEVIL'S OWN GROUND, WHEN THE TI
TLE'S SUPPORTED BY NO MORE AUTHORITY THAN A BARE SINGLE AFFIRMATIVE, AND THAT FR
OM NO OTHER MOUTH THAN THE FATHER OF LIES, THE DEVIL HIMSELF.
0679-FF/1698:007(068) IF THE PLAY=HOUSE WERE REALLY A CHATTELLANY OF $LUCIFER, A
 FIEF OF THE INFERNAL EMPIRE, SOME DOCTORS ARE OF OPINION, THE DEVIL WOULD BE TH
E LAST WOULD TELL US SO: FOR AS THE SUBTLETY OF THAT CUNNING SEDUCER STROWS ALL
HIS PIT=FALLS WITH FLOWERS, HE HAS NEITHER THAT CHARITY FOR MANKIND, NOR OWES TH
AT SERVICE TO $GOD, TO PLAY THUS BOOTY AGAINST HIMSELF IN SO FRANK A DECLARATION
.
0680-FF/1698:008(054) HOWEVER, IF THAT RESTLESS SWORN ENEMY OF MAN, HAD ANY SUCH
 GENEROUS PRINCIPLE IN HIM, THE $DIVES IN FLAMES HAD HAD NO OCCASION OF SUPPLICA
TING A MONITORY MESSENGER, TO SEND TO HIS WORLDLY FRIENDS, FROM $ABRAHAM: BUT MI
GHT E'EN HAVE BEGG'D THE CIVIL FAVOUR OF THAT KIND ERRAND FROM ONE OF HIS OWN TO
RMENTORS.
0681-FF/1698:009(041) THIS I MUST SAY, THAT THIS FOOLISH DEVIL'S IMPRUDENT DISCO
VERY WAS SO CAPITAL A PIECE OF TREASON AGAINST THE INTEREST OF HIS OWN INFERNAL
KINGDOM, THAT REALLY I AM OF OPINION, TO SET HIM <RECTUS IN CURIA DIABOLICA>, HE
 WANTS ABSOLUTION.
0682-FF/1698:010(022) WELL, BUT PERHAPS YOU'LL SAY, THIS DISCOVERY WAS NO BLUNDE
R IN HIS POLITICKS, BUT EXTORTED BY THE DIVINE FORCE OF THE EXORCISM.
0683-FF/1698:011(005) REALLY SIR, THAT MAY BE.
0684-FF/1698:012(022) HOWEVER TO GIVE THIS DEVIL AND HIS VOUCHERS THEIR DUE, ALL
 THIS CONFESSION CARRIES A VERY RANK FACE OF A SHAM STILL.
0685-FF/1698:013(104) FOR IF IT WERE SUBSTANTIAL VERITY, THAT THE PLAY=HOUSE WAS
 TRULY AND FIRMLY THE DEVIL'S OWN GROUND, AND EVERY $CHRISTIAN RAMBLER CATCH'D U
PON IT HIS OWN LAWFUL, AND, TO USE HIS OWN WORDS, JUSTIFIABLE SEIZURE; AT THIS R
ATE, THE DEVIL MUST BE SOFTEN'D INTO A SPIRIT OF THAT UNACCOUNTABLE MERCY, SO VE
RY UNLIKE THE "BIBLE" PICTURE WE HAVE OF HIM, WHEN AMONG SO MANY THOUSANDS AND T
EN THOUSANDS, NAY MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF $CHRISTIANS, THAT SINCE THAT DAY HAVE
 BEEN CAUGHT IN A PLAY=HOUSE WALLS, SO PAT FOR HIS CLUTCHES; NEVERTHELESS THIS O
NLY SINGLE SEIZURE OF THAT KIND IS ALL THAT'S RECORDED AGAINST HIM.
0686-FF/1698:014(066) I HAVE SEVERAL TIMES HEARD THIS DEMONIACK STORY WARMLY PLA
Y'D, AS NOT A LITTLE FORMIDABLE BATTERY AGAINST THE THEATRES, BY SOME PASSIONATE
 ZEALOTS, NO VERY GOOD FRIENDS EITHER TO OUR CHURCH OR OUR STAGE; AND TO CONFIRM
 THIS DIABOLICAL AUTHORITY, THOSE ENTHUSIASTS WITHOUT QUESTION HAD READ, THAT 'T
WAS NO NEW THING FOR THE CLOVEN=FOOT TO DELIVER ORACLES, AND THEREFORE DOUBT NOT
 BUT THIS MAY BE ONE.
0687-FF/1698:015(120) BUT IN ALL THESE DECLAMATIONS OF THE FATHERS AGAINST STAGE
=PLAYS, ST $CYPRIAN, $TERTULLIAN, AND ST $AUGUSTINE, AND ALL OF 'EM CONFESS 'TWA
S THE GENERAL OPINION OF THE $CHRISTIANS' THAT PLAYS WERE A LAWFUL DIVERSION; AN
D THEREFORE THE WHOLE BUSINESS OF THOSE DECLAMATIONS, IS THE OPENING THE $CHRIST
IANS EYES, AND REFUTING THAT TOO EPIDEMICAL ERRONEOUS OPINION; AND WHAT OCCASION
'D THAT SPREADING ERROR AMONGST THEM WAS, THAT THE APPEARANCE OF THAT GENERAL IN
NOCENCE IN THOSE ENTERTAINMENTS GAVE THEM THAT RECEPTION AMONGST THE $CHRISTIANS
, THAT THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE THEM CRIMINAL WITHOUT SOME EXPRESS DIVINE PRECEPT
AGAINST THEM; AND ACCORDINGLY ST $CYPRIAN, THE AUTHOR <DE SPECTACULIS>, ARGUES A
GAINST THOSE, WHO THOUGHT THE PLAY=HOUSE NO UNLAWFUL DIVERSION BECAUSE 'TWAS NOT
 CONDEMNED BY EXPRESS SCRIPTURE.
0688-FF/1698:016(019) SO $TERTULLIAN REPROVES THE $CHRISTIANS, THAT THEIR FAITH
IS EITHER TOO FULL OF SCRUPLES, OR TOO BARREN OF SENSE.
0689-FF/1698:017(014) NOTHING (HE SAYS) WILL SERVE TO SETTLE THEM BUT A PLAIN TE
XT OF SCRIPTURE.
0690-FF/1698:018(024) THEY HOVER IN UNCERTAINTY, BECAUSE 'TIS NOT SAID AS EXPRES
LY, (THOU SHALT NOT GO TO THE PLAY=HOUSE), AS 'TIS (THOU SHALT NOT KILL, ETC).
0691-FF/1698:019(047) AND HERE, WITH ALL DUE REVERENCE TO THESE $CHRISTIAN FATHE
RS, THE SCRIPTURAL SILENCE IN THAT CASE WELL FURNISH SOME MORE CURIOUS SPECULATI
ONS THAN THEY HAVE BEEN PLEAS'D TO MAKE; AND WHICH I HOPE WILL BE NO UNPARDONABL
E INQUIRY TO PROSECUTE A LITTLE FARTHER THAN THEY HAVE DONE.
0692-FF/1698:020(021) HERE THE WORLD MUST PARDON ME, IF I PRESUME TO SAY, THAT S
T $CYPRIAN PLAYS MORE THE ORATOR THAN THE CHURCH=MAN.
0693-FF/1698:021(051) I HARDLY BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS BEEN THAT CRIME TOO BLACK
TO LIE UPON SCRIPTURE PAPER, WHEN THE VERY SIN THAT DREW DOWN FIRE UPON $SODOM A
ND $GOMORRAH HAS BEEN RECORDED THERE: NOR CAN I GRANT HIM HIS CONSEQUENCE, VIZ T
HAT SUCH BLACK SINS ARE THE MORE STRONGLY FORBIDDEN BECAUSE UNMENTION'D.
0694-FF/1698:022(045) THIS I AM CERTAIN, THAT THE MANY, THE LOUD, AND THE REPEAT
ED FULMINATIONS OF VENGEANCE FROM THE MOUTHS OF THE PATRIARCHS, THE PROPHETS, AN
D THE APOSTLES, DENOUNCED AGAINST THE MOST TREMENDOUS INIQUITIES AND ABOMINATION
S, DOES NOT VERY WELL PROVE THE SCRIPTURAL SILENCE IN SUCH CASES.
0695-FF/1698:023(023) BESIDES, ST $CYPRIAN HERE, UNDER THE NOTION OF A REASON FO
R SUCH SILENCE, EITHER FLIES WIDE FROM THE MATTER, OR ELSE CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

0696-FF/1698:024(030) THE CHARGE HE ALL ALONG LAYS AGAINST PLAYS, IS THE LEVITIE
S AND IMPERTINENCES OF THE COMEDIES, THE RANTING DISTRACTIONS OF TRAGEDIES, THAT
 PLAYS WERE ORIGINALLY THE INSTITUTION OF HEATHEN IDOLATRY.
0697-FF/1698:025(027) THAT AS THEY ARE LEWD REPRESENTATIONS, THEY ARE OF THIS DA
NGEROUS CONSEQUENCE, VIZ THAT BY USING TO SEE SUCH THINGS WE SHALL LEARN TO DO T
HEM, ETC.
0698-FF/1698:026(013) AND THAT THEREFORE WE MUST DRAW OFF OUR INCLINATIONS FROM
THESE VANITIES, ETC.
0699-FF/1698:027(032) ALL THIS IS SO FAR FROM A BLACKNESS TOO DEEP FOR PAPER, OR
 A MONSTER TOO HIDEOUS FOR THE MODESTY OF DIVINE REVELATION TO EXPOSE TO LIGHT,
THAT NOTHING CAN BE LESS.
0700-FF/1698:028(221) BUT GRANTING THIS $CHRISTIAN FATHER THE LIBERTY OF BEING S
OMETIMES COOLER, AND SOMETIMES WARMER UPON THAT SUBJECT, AND ALLOWING THESE LEVI
TIES AND VANITIES TO BE SO MANY $GORGONS AND $MEDUSA'S; GRANTING THE PLAY=HOUSE
TO BE THAT ROCK, THAT QUICKSAND, OR ANY OTHER MORE DEVOURING GULPH; HOWEVER, THE
 DIVINE WISDOM IN THAT CASE, INSTEAD OF HAVING A LOW OPINION OF $CHRISTIANS, HAD
 IT DESCENDED TO A PARTICULAR CAUTION AGAINST IT; ESPECIALLY WHEN THE HIDDEN ROC
K OR QUICKSAND LAY SO UNSEEN BY THE GENERAL EYE OF $CHRISTIANS, THAT BOTH BY $TE
RTULLIAN AND ST $CYPRIAN'S CONFESSION, THE DANGER APPEAR'D SO LITTLE, THAT 'TWAS
 THE PUBLICK $CHRISTIAN OPINION, THE PLAY=HOUSE WAS A LAWFUL DIVERSION; ON THE C
ONTRARY, THE DIVINE WISDOM, I SAY, HAD AS MUCH OCCASION OF SOME SEASONABLE ADMON
ITION, TO HANG OUT AS A WATCH=LIGHT OR SEA=MARK, AGAINST THOSE HIDDEN ROCKS, AS
EVER $AARON HAD TO WARN THE CHILDREN OF $ISRAEL FROM THE TENTS OF $CORAN, $DATHA
N AND $ABIRAM, BEFORE THE EARTH OPENED TO SWALLOW THEM: AND UNDOUBTEDLY HAD THER
E BEEN ANY SUCH TRUE DANGER IN A PLAY=HOUSE, THE DIVINE WISDOM, WITHOUT EITHER A
 LOW OPINION OF IT SELF IN DESCENDING TO GIVE SUCH A PARTICULAR CAUTION, OR THE
WEAK=SIGHTED $CHRISTIAN TO WANT IT; AMONGST ITS OTHER MANY THOUSAND PARTICULAR M
ONITORY FAVOURS AND MERCIES, WOU'D HAVE ADDED THIS ONE MORE TO THAT INFINITE NUM
BER.
0701-FF/1698:029(085) I WISH THIS DIVINE AUTHOR HAS NOT HIMSELF A MUCH LOWER OPI
NION OF $CHRISTIANS, WHEN TO CRUTCH HIS ARGUMENT AGAINST THE PLAY=HOUSE, HE WOUL
D INSINUATE, THAT EVEN A GOSPEL=PRECEPT MAY BE SOMETIMES ENSNARING, AND THE VERY
 COMMANDS OF $GOD HIMSELF AGAINST A SIN, A TEMPTATION TO DRAW US INTO IT; AND CO
NSEQUENTLY THAT IN SOME CASES IT IS MUCH SAFER, AND MORE DIVINE PRUDENCE, TO LEA
VE THE SINNER TO GROPE OUT HIS WAY TO SALVATION, THAN TO GIVE HIM A LIGHT TO GUI
DE HIM THITHER.
0702-FF/1698:030(084) BESIDES, THESE FATHERS, INSTEAD OF DEFENDING THE SPIRITUAL
 SILENCE AGAINST PLAYS (THE MAIN ARGUMENT THEY DRIVE AT), THE GOSPEL=LIGHT BEING
 NO WAYS WANTED TO GUARD AGAINST THEM, BUT THAT EVEN THE VERY LIGHT OF NATURE WA
S SUFFICIENT IN THAT CASE; ON THE CONTRARY, AS THEY HAVE MANAGED THEIR INDICTMEN
T AGAINST THE STAGE, HAVE PUT IT SO FAR OUT OF THE POWER OF NATURE, THAT THEY SE
EM TO ENFORCE THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF A PARTICULAR REVELATION PILOT EVEN TO DI
SCOVER THE DANGER THAT LAY THERE.
0703-FF/1698:031(057) NOW, AS SUCH WERE THE CHARACTERS OF THE ANCIENT POETS, AND
 THOSE THE VERY FOUNDERS OF THE FEAST IN THE THEATRICAL ENTERTAINMENTS IN ST $CY
PRIAN AND $TERTULLIAN'S DAYS, AND SOME AGES AFTER THEM, I CANNOT BUT ONCE MORE R
EPEAT MY AMAZEMENT AT THEIR OVER=PASSIONATE EXCLAMATIONS AGAINST THE STAGE, ESPE
CIALLY UPON THE MISTAKEN TOPICK OF LEWDNESS AND DEBAUCHERY.
0704-FF/1698:032(040) AFTER ALL THIS HONEST AND FAITHFUL REVIEW OF THE ANCIENT S
TAGE, TAKEN EVEN BY OUR KIND AUTHOR HIMSELF, I FANCY HE HAS GIVEN US SOME MORE S
UBSTANTIAL REASONS FOR THE SCRIPTURAL SILENCE AGAINST PLAYS, THAN ALL THESE FATH
ERS HAVE DONE.
0705-FF/1698:033(053) FOR IF SUCH, BY HIS OWN GENEROUS ACKNOWLEDGMENT, WAS THE S
TAGE'S PRIMITIVE STATE OF INNOCENCE; (A CONFESSION WHICH WE HIGHLY STAND OBLIGED
 TO HIM FOR, THOUGH LIKE ONE OF SIR $MARTIN_MARRAL'S DISCOVERIES, CONSIDERING HO
W LITTLE IT MAKES FOR HIS CAUSE), I FEAR WE SHALL THANK HIM FOR A FAVOUR HE NEVE
R INTENDED US.
0706-FF/1698:034(110) IF THEREFORE, AS I WAS SAYING, OR RATHER OUR AUTHOR HAS SA
ID FOR ME, SUCH WAS NOT ONLY THE INNOCENCE OF THE HEATHEN STAGE, UNDER ALL THE R
ESTRICTIONS OF CHASTITY, MODESTY AND DECENCY, NOT ONLY FROM THE NATIVE PRINCIPLE
S OF THE AUTHORS, BUT ALSO FROM THE REGULATION OF PUBLICK AUTHORITY; BUT EVEN SU
CH WAS THE MERIT (SO I MAY CALL IT) OF THOSE THEATRICK REPRESENTATIONS SO LITTLE
 TENDING TO THE CORRUPTION OF MANNERS, THAT SEVERAL OF THEM WERE WRITTEN WITH A
GENIUS, TO SPEAK IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE, ENOUGH TO TRANSFUSE AND INSPIRE A SPIRIT O
F BRAVERY, SO FAR FROM A CHECK, AS TO BE RATHER AN EXCITATION TO VIRTUE.
0707-FF/1698:035(090) HERE, UPON ALL THESE CONCESSIONS EVEN FROM OUR AUTHOR HIMS
ELF, (PROVIDED STILL THAT AS STAGE=PLAYS ARE ONLY HUMANE INSTITUTIONS, AND WORLD
LY DIVERSIONS, AND THAT THAT OBJECTION SHALL BE FOUND NO BAR TO THIS PLEA OF INN
OCENCE, AS THAT I HOPE WE SHALL MAKE OUT); THIS THEN BEING THE STAGE, AND THESE
THE PLAYS THAT FACED THE WHOLE TRAVELS OF THE APOSTLES; HERE'S A VERY SUBSTANTIA
L ARGUMENT FOR THE EVANGELICAL SILENCE, IN NOT ONE WORD AGAINST THEM; FOR THE MO
UTHS OF THOSE DIVINE ORACLES OPEN'D ONLY TO THE CORRECTION OF VICE.
0708-FF/1698:036(115) NOR WILL IT RAISE ANY PART OF AN OBJECTION AGAINST THIS AR
GUMENT FOR THEIR SILENCE, ETC THAT THE ORIGINAL INNOCENT CONSTITUTION OF PLAYS W
AS SOMETIMES CORRUPTED, THEIR MODESTY DEBAUCH'D, AND ABUSES CREPT IN AMONGST THE
M, AS THIS AUTHOR OFTEN OBSERVES AGAINST THEM; FOR AS THE VERY HEATHENS THEMSELV
ES HAD THEIR CENSORS AND INSPECTORS APPOINTED TO CORRECT AND PUNISH THOSE ABUSES
, AND TO KEEP THE STAGE IN THE BOUNDS OF MODESTY, I HOPE THE $CHRISTIANS NEEDED
NO PARTICULAR SCRIPTURAL PRECEPT IN THAT CASE: THE DIVINE WISDOM MUST THEN HAVE
MOST TRULY HAD A LOW OPINION OF $CHRISTIANS, TO THINK THEY WANTED ANY PARTICULAR
 EVANGELICAL LIGHT TO FOLLOW, EVEN WHERE THE IGNORANT HEATHEN HAD LED BEFORE THE
M.
0709-FF/1698:037(079) AND AS TO THE MORE HORRID REPRESENTATIONS OF THE AMPHITHEA
TER, SO FREQUENT IN THE $NERONIAN REIGN, IN WHICH ST $PAUL DIED; HERE INDEED THE
RE WANTED NO EVANGELICK COMMAND, TO WARN THE $CHRISTIAN FROM THOSE EXECRABLE BLO
ODY WALLS, WHERE MURDER UPON MURDER EVEN IN COLD=BLOODED SPORT WAS MADE A PUBLIC
K ENTERTAINMENT; THE DIVINE WISDOM, AS ST $CYPRIAN SAYS, HAD HAD A LOW OPINION I
NDEED TO THINK THE $CHRISTIAN COULD WANT A HEAVENLY CAUTION OF ENTRING THOSE SHA
MBLES OF HUMAN BUTCHERY.
0710-FF/1698:038(053) BESIDES, TO SHEW HOW LITTLE THE DRAMATICK POETRY LAY UNDER
 THE GOSPEL CENSURE, OUR AUTHOR, (THO' UPON ANOTHER OCCASION), IS PLEAS'D TO QUO
TE THAT TEXT OF ST $PAUL, <EVIL COMMUNICATIONS CORRUPT GOOD MANNERS>, AS THE EXP
RESSION FIRST OF THE COMICK POET $MENANDER, 290 YEARS BEFORE $CHRIST, AND AFTERW
ARDS OF ST $PAUL THE APOSTLE.
0711-FF/1698:039(101) HERE I WOULD ASK WHETHER ST $PAUL THE MOST LEARNED OF THE
APOSTLES, IN DELIVERING THE DIVINE ORACLES OF $GOD, WOULD HAVE INCORPORATED THE
SAYING OF A HEATHEN POET, THAT POSSIBLY HAD BEEN SPOKE A HUNDRED TIMES OVER ON T
HE PUBLICK STAGE, BY A HIRELING PLAYER, INTO THE GOSPEL OF TRUTH, NOTWITHSTANDIN
G THE MORALITY AND INNOCENCE OF THE EXPRESSION IT SELF; HAD STAGE=PLAYS IN THEMS
ELVES, AND THAT IN THEIR WORST CAPACITY OF COMEDIES, JUSTLY LAIN UNDER ST $CYPRI
AN'S CHARACTER OF THEM, VIZ <THAT WERE THEY NOT OTHERWISE HIGHLY CRIMINAL, THE F
OOLERY OF THEM IS EGREGIOUS AND UNBECOMING THE GRAVITY OF BELIEVERS>?
0712-FF/1698:040(011) FOR SOME OTHER INSTANCES OF ST $PAUL'S RESPECT FOR THE POE
TS.
0713-FF/1698:041(026) IN "ACTS" <IN HIM WE LIVE AND MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING; AS
CERTAIN OF YOUR OWN POETS HAVE SAID, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING>.
0714-FF/1698:042(020) IN HIS EPISTLE TO $TITUS, SPEAKING OF THE PEOPLE OF $CRETE
, HE SAYS IN THE WORDS OF $EPIMENIDES THE POET.
0715-FF/1698:043(019) <ONE OF THEMSELVES, EVEN A PROPHET OF THEIR OWN, SAID, THE
 $CRETIAN ARE ALWAYS LIARS, EVIL BEASTS, SLOW BELLIES>.
0716-FF/1698:044(005) <THIS WITNESS IS TRUE, ETC>.
0717-FF/1698:045(020) HERE THE APOSTLE HAS NOT DISDAIN'D TO QUOTE A HEATHEN POET
, NAY, AND HONOUR HIM WITH THE TITLE OF PROPHET.
0718-FF/1698:046(050) NOW THEREFORE AS THE SPIRIT OF $GOD SPOKE BY THE INSPIRED
APOSTLES, WE MAY VENTURE TO BOAST, IT GIVES SOME REPUTATION TO THE POET, AND SUR
E A LITTLE VINDICATION OF THE INNOCENCE OF THE PROFESSION, THAT THE $HOLY_GHOST
HIMSELF HAS SPOKE IN THE WORDS OF A $MENANDER, AND AN $EPIMENIDES.
0719-FF/1698:047(023) BUT TO MAKE A LITTLE FARTHER EXAMINATION INTO THE REASON O
F THIS OVER=VIOLENT ZEAL AND VEHEMENCE OF THE PRIMITIVE FATHERS AGAINST THE STAG
E.
0720-FF/1698:048(042) WE ARE TO CONSIDER THE FOREMENTIONED AUTHORITY, VIZ $THEOP
HILUS, $TERTULLIAN, $CLEMENS_ALEXANDRINUS, $MINUTIUS_FAELIX, AND ST $CYPRIAN, SO
 FAITHFULLY TRANSLATED BY MR $COLLIER, LIVED ALL IN THE SECOND OR THIRD CENTURY,
 IN THE MOURNING MINORITY OF THE CHURCH OF $GOD, UNDER THE HEATHEN PERSECUTIONS.

0721-FF/1698:049(017) FOR $CONSTANTINE, THE FIRST $CHRISTIAN EMPEROR, BEGAN HIS
REIGN BUT IN THE BEGINNING OF THE FOURTH CENTURY.
0722-FF/1698:050(036) HAD NOT THEN THOSE PRIMITIVE FATHERS, WITH STAKES, GIBBETS
, CAULDRONS, GRIDIRONS, RACKS, ETC ALL BEFORE THEIR EYES, A JUST CAUSE OF COMPLA
INT AGAINST THE $CHRISTIAN INCLINATION FOR PLAYS, DELIGHT AND PLEASURE AT THAT T
IME OF DAY?
0723-FF/1698:051(021) DOES THE SON FROM HIS FATHER'S DEATH=BED GO TO THE MUSICK=
HOUSE, OR THE WIDOW FROM HER HUSBAND'S FUNERAL TO THE DANCING=SCHOOL?
0724-FF/1698:052(018) WAS THE PLAY=HOUSE A SEASONABLE $CHRISTIAN DIVERSION, POSS
IBLY TO COME FROM A $LAURENCE'S GRIDIRON TO A $THYESTE'S FEAST?
0725-FF/1698:053(006) I MAY HERE JOIN WITH $TERTULLIAN.
0726-FF/1698:054(024) <IN EARNEST, $CHRISTIAN, OUR TIME FOR ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT
 YET; YE ARE TOO CRAVING AND ILL MANAG'D, IF YOU ARE SO VIOLENT FOR DELIGHT>.
0727-FF/1698:055(033) BESIDES, WAS IT NOT A YET GREATER AGGRAVATION TO THE ILL=T
IMED $CHRISTIAN FONDNESS FOR PLAYS, TO HERD, CONSORT AND MIX WITH THEIR TYRANTS,
 PERSECUTORS AND MURDERERS THE HEATHENS, IN THEIR ENTERTAINMENTS AND DIVERSIONS?

0728-FF/1698:056(066) AND THEREFORE IS IT TO BE DOUBTED, BUT THAT THIS UNSEASONA
BLE INCLINATION OF THE $CHRISTIANS FOR PLAYS WENT A GREAT WAY IN THE FATHERS PAS
SIONATE DECLAMATIONS AGAINST THEM; AND UNDOUBTEDLY TO CHECK THE $CHRISTIAN FONDN
ESS IN THAT CASE, PUSH'D 'EM UPON THE NECESSITY OF ENLARGING UPON THAT STRONGER
ARGUMENT, VIZ THE UNLAWFULNESS OF PLAYS, WHERE THE WEAKER ONE, THE INDECENCY OF
SEEING THEM, WOULD NOT PREVAIL?
0729-FF/1698:057(023) NAY, AS $CLEMENS_ALEXANDRINUS JOYNS THE CIRCUS AND THE THE
ATRE TOGETHER, WHEN HE SAYS, THEY MAY NOT IMPROPERLY BE CALLED THE CHAIR OF PEST
ILENCE.
0730-FF/1698:058(073) DOES NOT THEREFORE THE BLOODY GLADIATOR, THE PROFESSION OF
 THE MURDER AT THE PRIZE, AS $MINUTIUS_FAELIX CALLS IT, THE SECULAR GAMES, AND T
HE PANTOMIMI, AND ALL THE REST OF THE MORE LICENTIOUS AND BARBAROUS HEATHEN ENTE
RTAINMENTS, GO A GREAT WAY IN THE CONDEMNATION OF THE MORE INNOCENT PLAYS, WHILS
T THE STAGE SUFFERS WITH THE ILL COMPANY IT KEEPS; ALL THOSE HORRID DIVERSIONS,
BEING AT THE SAME TIME SUPPORTED BY THE TYRANT PAGAN EMPERORS?
0731-FF/1698:059(033) NAY, DOES NOT THE VERY $CHRISTIAN HORROR OF THOSE HEATHEN
TYRANTS, THE PATRONS OF THOSE PLAYS, GO A GREAT WAY WITH THESE FATHERS TO THE CO
NDEMNATION OF THE FEAST FOR THE FOUNDERS SAKE?
0732-FF/1698:060(025) AND THEREFORE IS ALL THIS VEHEMENCE, THOUGH TO A STRETCH O
F ARGUMENT, AND THE RACKING OF REASONS AGAINST THEM, ANY THING TO BE WONDER'D AT
?
0733-FF/1698:061(048) SUPPOSE WE COULD PARALLEL THE SAME MODERN CASE; WERE THERE
, FOR INSTANCE, ANY SUCH DIVERSION AS PLAYS AMONGST THE $TURKS, WOULD NOT THE $G
RECIAN PATRIARCHS BE AS TENDER OF THE $CHRISTIANS MIXING IN THAT DIVERSION, MORE
 ESPECIALLY IF OUR $MAHOMETANS WERE LIKE THEIR HEATHENS, A SPIRIT OF PERSECUTION
?
0734-FF/1698:062(034) WHY THEN ARE ALL THESE PRIMITIVE CHAMPIONS BROUGHT DOWN TO
 BATTLE OUR THEATRES, WHEN THEIR WHOLE GROUND OF QUARREL AND FOUNDATION OF COMPL
AINT, IS SO FOREIGN TO THE PRESENT STATE OF THE $ENGLISH STAGE?
0735-FN/1698:001(040) THE FIRST THING WHICH I HUMBLY AND EARNESTLY PROPOSE TO TH
AT HONOURABLE COURT IS, THAT THEY WOULD TAKE INTO THEIR CONSIDERATION THE CONDIT
ION OF SO MANY THOUSANDS OF OUR PEOPLE WHO ARE AT THIS DAY DYING FOR WANT OF BRE
AD.
0736-FN/1698:002(031) AND TO PERSUADE THEM SERIOUSLY TO APPLY THEMSELVES TO SO I
NDISPENSABLE A DUTY, THEY HAVE ALL THE INDUCEMENTS WHICH THOSE MOST POWERFUL EMO
TIONS OF THE SOUL, TERROR AND COMPASSION, CAN PRODUCE.
0737-FN/1698:003(049) BECAUSE FROM UNWHOLESOME FOOD DISEASES ARE SO MULTIPLIED A
MONG THE POOR PEOPLE, THAT IF SOME COURSE BE NOT TAKEN, THIS FAMINE MAY VERY PRO
BABLY BE FOLLOWED BY A PLAGUE; AND THEN WHAT MAN IS THERE EVEN OF THOSE WHO SIT
IN $PARLIAMENT THAT CAN BE SURE HE SHALL ESCAPE?
0738-FN/1698:004(074) AND WHAT MAN IS THERE IN THIS NATION, IF HE HAVE ANY COMPA
SSION, WHO MUST NOT GRUDGE HIMSELF EVERY NICE BIT AND EVERY DELICATE MORSEL HE P
UTS IN HIS MOUTH, WHEN HE CONSIDERS THAT SO MANY ARE ALREADY DEAD, AND SO MANY A
T THAT MINUTE STRUGGLING WITH DEATH, NOT FOR WANT OF BREAD BUT OF GRAINS, WHICH
I AM CREDIBLY INFORMED HAVE BEEN EATEN BY SOME FAMILIES, EVEN DURING THE PRECEDI
NG YEARS OF SCARCITY.
0739-FN/1698:005(050) AND MUST NOT EVERY UNNECESSARY BRANCH OF OUR EXPENCE, OR T
HE LEAST FINERY IN OUR HOUSES, CLOTHES OR EQUIPAGE, REPROACH US WITH OUR BARBARI
TY, SO LONG AS PEOPLE BORN WITH NATURAL ENDOWMENTS, PERHAPS NOT INFERIOR TO OUR
OWN, AND FELLOW CITIZENS, PERISH FOR WANT OF THINGS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY TO LIFE
?
0740-FN/1698:006(147) BUT NOT TO INSIST ANY MORE UPON THE REPRESENTATION OF SO G
REAT A CALAMITY, WHICH IF DRAWN IN PROPER COLOURS, AND ONLY ACCORDING TO THE PRE
CISE TRUTH OF THINGS, MUST CAST THE MINDS OF ALL HONEST MEN INTO THOSE CONVULSIO
NS WHICH OUGHT NECESSARILY TO BE COMPOSED BEFORE THEY CAN CALMLY CONSIDER OF A R
EMEDY; AND BECAUSE THE PARTICULARS OF THIS GREAT DISTRESS ARE SUFFICIENTLY KNOWN
 TO ALL, I SHALL PROCEED TO SAY, THAT THO PERHAPS UPON THE GREAT WANT OF BREAD,
OCCASIONED BY THE CONTINUED BAD SEASONS OF THIS AND THE THREE PRECEDING YEARS, T
HE EVIL BE GREATER AND MORE PRESSING THAN AT ANY TIME IN OUR DAYS, YET THERE HAV
E ALWAYS BEEN IN $SCOTLAND SUCH NUMBERS OF POOR, AS BY NO REGULATIONS COULD EVER
 BE ORDERLY PROVIDED FOR; AND THIS COUNTRY HAS ALWAYS SWARM'D WITH SUCH NUMBERS
OF IDLE VAGABONDS, AS NO LAWS COULD EVER RESTRAIN.
0741-FN/1698:007(098) AND INDEED WHEN I CONSIDER'D THE MANY EXCELLENT LAWS ENACT
ED BY FORMER $PARLIAMENTS FOR SETTING THE POOR TO WORK, PARTICULARLY THOSE IN TH
E TIME OF KING $JAMES THE SIXTH, WITH THE CLAUSES FOR PUTTING THEM IN EXECUTION,
 WHICH TO ME SEEMED SUCH AS COULD NOT MISS OF THE END, AND YET THAT NOTHING WAS
OBTAINED BY THEM, I WAS AMAZED, AND BEGAN TO THINK UPON THE CASE OF OTHER NATION
S IN THIS PARTICULAR, PERSUADED THAT THERE WAS SOME STRANGE HIDDEN ROOT OF THIS
EVIL WHICH COULD NOT BE WELL DISCOVERED, UNLESS BY OBSERVING THE CONDUCT OF OTHE
R GOVERNMENTS.
0742-FN/1698:008(046) BUT UPON REFLECTION I FOUND THEM ALL SUBJECT TO THE SAME I
NCONVENIENCES, AND THAT IN ALL THE COUNTRIES OF $EUROPE THERE WERE GREAT NUMBERS
 OF POOR, EXCEPT IN $HOLLAND, WHICH I KNEW TO PROCEED FROM THEIR HAVING THE GREA
TEST SHARE IN THE TRADE OF THE WORLD.
0743-FN/1698:009(092) BUT THIS NOT BEING A REMEDY FOR EVERY COUNTRY, SINCE ALL C
ANNOT PRETEND TO SO GREAT A PART IN TRADE, AND THAT TWO OR THREE NATIONS ARE ABL
E TO MANAGE THE WHOLE COMMERCE OF $EUROPE; YET THERE BEING A NECESSITY THAT THE
POOR SHOULD EVERY WHERE BE PROVIDED FOR, UNLESS WE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFICIEN
CY OF ALL GOVERNMENT IN THAT PARTICULAR, AND FINDING NO REMEDY IN THE LAWS OR CU
STOMS OF ANY OF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENTS, I BEGAN TO CONSIDER WHAT MIGHT BE THE C
ONDUCT OF THE WISE ANTIENTS IN THAT AFFAIR.
0744-FN/1698:010(034) AND MY CURIOSITY WAS INCREASED, WHEN UPON REFLECTION I COU
LD NOT CALL TO MIND THAT ANY ANTIENT AUTHOR HAD SO MUCH AS MENTIONED SUCH A THIN
G, AS GREAT NUMBERS OF POOR IN ANY COUNTRY.
0745-FN/1698:011(140) AT LENGTH I FOUND THE ORIGINAL OF THAT MULTITUDE OF BEGGAR
S WHICH NOW OPPRESS THE WORLD, TO HAVE PROCEEDED FROM CHURCHMEN, WHO (NEVER FAIL
ING TO CONFOUND THINGS SPIRITUAL WITH TEMPORAL, AND CONSEQUENTLY ALL GOOD ORDER
AND GOOD GOVERNMENT, EITHER THROUGH MISTAKE OR DESIGN) UPON THE FIRST PUBLICK ES
TABLISHMENT OF THE $CHRISTIAN RELIGION, RECOMMENDED NOTHING MORE TO MASTERS, IN
ORDER TO THE SALVATION OF THEIR SOULS, THAN THE SETTING SUCH OF THEIR SLAVES AT
LIBERTY AS WOULD EMBRACE THE $CHRISTIAN FAITH, THO OUR SAVIOUR AND HIS APOSTLES
HAD BEEN SO FAR FROM MAKING USE OF ANY TEMPORAL ADVANTAGES TO PERSUADE ETERNAL T
RUTHS, AND SO FAR FROM INVADING ANY MAN'S PROPERTY, BY PROMISING HIM HEAVEN FOR
IT, THAT THE APOSTLE $PAUL SAYS EXPRESLY, <IN WHAT EVER CONDITION OF LIFE EVERY
ONE IS CALLED TO THE $CHRISTIAN FAITH, IN THAT LET HIM REMAIN>.
0746-FN/1698:012(024) <ART THOU CALLED BEING A SLAVE, BE NOT CONCERNED FOR THY C
ONDITION; BUT EVEN THO THOU MIGHTEST BE FREE, CHUSE TO CONTINUE IN IT>.
0747-FN/1698:013(044) <FOR HE WHO IS CALLED WHILST A SLAVE, BECOMES THE FREEMAN
OF THE LORD; AND LIKEWISE HE THAT IS CALLED WHILST A FREE=MAN, BECOMES THE SLAVE
 OF $CHRIST, WHO HAS PAID A PRICE FOR YOU, THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BE THE SLAVES OF M
EN>.
0748-FN/1698:014(019) <LET EVERY ONE THEREFORE, BRETHREN, IN WHATEVER CONDITION
HE IS CALLED, IN THAT REMAIN, IN THE FEAR OF $GOD>.
0749-FN/1698:015(058) THAT THE INTERPRETATION I PUT UPON THIS PASSAGE, DIFFERENT
 FROM OUR TRANSLATION, IS THE TRUE MEANING OF THE APOSTLE, NOT ONLY THE AUTHORIT
Y OF THE $GREEK FATHERS, AND GENUINE SIGNIFICATION OF THE $GREEK PARTICLES, BUT
THE WHOLE CONTEXT, CHIEFLY THE FIRST AND LAST WORDS (WHICH SEEM TO BE REPEATED T
O INFORCE AND DETERMINE SUCH A MEANING) CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE.
0750-FN/1698:016(077) AND THE REASON WHY HE RECOMMENDS TO THEM RATHER TO CONTINU
E SLAVES (IF THEY HAVE EMBRACED THE $CHRISTIAN FAITH IN THAT CONDITION) SEEMS TO
 BE THAT IT MIGHT APPEAR THEY DID NOT EMBRACE IT FOR ANY WORLDLY ADVANTAGE, AS W
ELL AS TO DESTROY A DOCTRINE WHICH EVEN IN HIS DAYS BEGAN TO BE PREACHED, THAT S
LAVERY WAS INCONSISTENT WITH THE $CHRISTIAN RELIGION; SINCE SUCH A DOCTRINE WOUL
D HAVE BEEN A GREAT STOP TO THE PROGRESS OF IT.
0751-FN/1698:017(019) WHAT THE APOSTLE MEANS BY SAYING, WE OUGHT NOT TO BE THE S
LAVES OF MEN, I SHALL SHOW HEREAFTER.
0752-FN/1698:018(068) THIS DISORDER OF GIVING LIBERTY TO GREAT NUMBERS OF SLAVES
 UPON THEIR PROFESSION OF $CHRISTIANITY, GREW TO SUCH A HEIGHT, EVEN IN THE TIME
 OF $CONSTANTINE THE GREAT, THAT THE CITIES OF THE EMPIRE FOUND THEMSELVES BURDE
N'D WITH AN INFINITE NUMBER OF MEN, WHO HAD NO OTHER ESTATE BUT THEIR LIBERTY, O
F WHOM THE GREATEST PART WOULD NOT WORK, AND THE REST HAD BEEN BRED TO NO PROFES
SION.
0753-FN/1698:019(033) THIS OBLIGED $CONSTANTINE TO MAKE EDICTS IN FAVOUR OF BEGG
ARS; AND FROM THAT TIME AT THE REQUEST OF THE BISHOPS, HOSPITALS AND ALMS=HOUSES
, NOT FORMERLY KNOWN IN THE WORLD, BEGAN TO BE ESTABLISHED.
0754-FN/1698:020(084) BUT UPON THE RISE OF THE $MAHOMETAN RELIGION, WHICH WAS CH
IEFLY ADVANCED BY GIVING LIBERTY TO ALL THEIR SLAVES, THE $CHRISTIANS WERE SO MO
LESTED BY THE CONTINUAL REBELLION OF THEIRS, THAT THEY WERE AT LENGTH FORCED TO
GIVE LIBERTY TO THEM ALL; WHICH IT SEEMS THE CHURCHMEN THEN LOOKED UPON AS A THI
NG NECESSARY TO PRESERVE THE $CHRISTIAN RELIGION, SINCE IN MANY OF THE WRITINGS,
 BY WHICH MASTERS GAVE FREEDOM TO THEIR SLAVES, 'TIS EXPRESLY SAID, THEY DID SO,
 TO SAVE THEIR OWN SOULS.
0755-FN/1698:021(025) THIS IS THE RISE OF THAT GREAT MISCHIEF, UNDER WHICH, TO T
HE UNDOING OF THE POOR, ALL THE NATIONS OF $EUROPE HAVE EVER SINCE GROAN'D.
0756-FN/1698:022(072) BECAUSE IN ANTIENT TIMES, SO LONG AS A MAN WAS THE RICHES
AND PART OF THE POSSESSION OF ANOTHER, EVERY MAN WAS PROVIDED FOR IN MEAT, CLOTH
ES AND LODGING; AND NOT ONLY HE, BUT (IN ORDER TO INCREASE THAT RICHES) HIS WIFE
 AND CHILDREN ALSO: WHEREAS PROVISIONS BY HOSPITALS, ALMS=HOUSES, AND THE CONTRI
BUTIONS OF CHURCHES OR PARISHES, HAVE BY EXPERIENCE BEEN FOUND TO INCREASE THE N
UMBERS OF THOSE THAT LIVE BY THEM.
0757-FN/1698:023(050) AND THE LIBERTY EVERY IDLE AND LAZY PERSON HAS OF BURDENIN
G THE SOCIETY IN WHICH HE LIVES, WITH HIS MAINTENANCE, HAS INCREASED THEIR NUMBE
RS TO THE WEAKNING AND IMPOVERISHING OF IT: FOR HE NEEDS ONLY TO SAY, THAT HE CA
NNOT GET WORK, AND THEN HE MUST BE MAINTAINED BY CHARITY.
0758-FN/1698:024(129) AND AS I HAVE SHOWN BEFORE, NO NATION EXCEPT ONE ONLY (WHI
CH IS IN EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES) DOES PROVIDE BY PUBLICK WORK=HOUSES FOR TH
EIR POOR: THE REASON OF WHICH SEEMS TO BE, THAT PUBLICK WORK=HOUSES FOR SUCH VAS
T NUMBERS OF PEOPLE, ARE IMPRACTICABLE EXCEPT IN THOSE PLACES WHERE (BESIDES A V
AST TRADE TO VEND THE MANUFACTUR'D GOODS) THERE IS AN EXTRAORDINARY POLICE: AND
THAT THO THE $HOLLANDERS BY REASON OF THE STEADINESS OF THEIR TEMPER, AS WELL AS
 OF THEIR GOVERNMENT (BEING A COMMONWEALTH) MAY BE CONSTANT TO THEIR METHODS OF
PROVIDING FOR THE POOR; YET IN A NATION, AND UNDER A GOVERNMENT LIKE THAT OF $FR
ANCE, THO VAST PUBLICK WORK=HOUSES MAY BE FOR A WHILE KEPT IN ORDER, 'TWILL NOT
BE LONG BEFORE THEY FALL INTO CONFUSION AND RUIN.
0759-FN/1698:025(036) AND INDEED (NEXT TO $PLATO'S REPUBLICK, WHICH CHIEFLY CONS
ISTS IN MAKING THE WHOLE SOCIETY LIVE IN COMMON) THERE IS NOTHING MORE IMPRACTIC
ABLE THAN TO PROVIDE FOR SO GREAT A PART OF EVERY NATION BY PUBLICK WORK=HOUSES.

0760-FN/1698:026(088) WHEREAS WHEN SUCH AN OECONOMY COMES UNDER THE INSPECTION O
F EVERY MASTER OF A FAMILY, AND THAT HE HIMSELF IS TO REAP THE PROFIT OF THE RIG
HT MANAGEMENT; THE THING NOT ONLY TURNS TO A FAR BETTER ACCOUNT, BUT BY REASON O
F HIS POWER TO SELL THOSE WORKMEN TO OTHERS WHO MAY HAVE USE FOR THEM, WHEN HE H
IMSELF HAS A MIND TO ALTER HIS COURSE OF LIFE, THE PROFIT IS PERMANENT TO THE SO
CIETY; NOR CAN SUCH AN OECONOMY, OR ANY SUCH MANAGEMENT EVER FALL INTO CONFUSION
.
0761-FN/1698:027(038) I DOUBT NOT, THAT WHAT I HAVE SAID WILL MEET, NOT ONLY WIT
H ALL THE MISCONSTRUCTION AND OBLOQUY, BUT ALL THE DISDAIN, FURY AND OUTCRIES, O
F WHICH EITHER IGNORANT MAGISTRATES, OR PROUD, LAZY AND MISERABLE PEOPLE ARE CAP
ABLE.
0762-FN/1698:028(008) WOULD I BRING BACK SLAVERY INTO THE WORLD?
0763-FN/1698:029(015) SHALL MEN OF IMMORTAL SOULS, AND BY NATURE EQUAL TO ANY, B
E SOLD AS BEASTS?
0764-FN/1698:030(037) SHALL THEY AND THEIR POSTERITY BE FOR EVER SUBJECTED TO TH
E MOST MISERABLE OF ALL CONDITIONS; THE INHUMAN BARBARITY OF MASTERS, WHO MAY BE
AT, MUTILATE, TORTURE, STARVE OR KILL SO GREAT A NUMBER OF MANKIND AT PLEASURE?

0765-FN/1698:031(021) SHALL THE FAR GREATER PART OF THE COMMONWEALTH BE SLAVES,
NOT THAT THE REST MAY BE FREE, BUT TYRANTS OVER THEM?
0766-FN/1698:032(030) WITH WHAT FACE CAN WE OPPOSE THE TYRANNY OF PRINCES, AND R
ECOMMEND SUCH OPPOSITION AS THE HIGHEST VIRTUE, IF WE MAKE OUR SELVES TYRANTS OV
ER THE GREATEST PART OF MANKIND?
0767-FN/1698:033(017) CAN ANY MAN, FROM WHOM SUCH A THING HAS ONCE ESCAPED, EVER
 OFFER TO SPEAK FOR LIBERTY?
0768-FN/1698:034(026) BUT THEY MUST PARDON ME IF I TELL THEM, THAT I REGARD NOT
NAMES, BUT THINGS; AND THAT THE MISAPPLICATION OF NAMES HAS CONFOUNDED EVERY THI
NG.
0769-FN/1698:035(065) WE ARE TOLD THERE IS NOT A SLAVE IN $FRANCE; THAT WHEN A S
LAVE SETS HIS FOOT UPON $FRENCH GROUND, HE BECOMES IMMEDIATELY FREE: AND I SAY T
HAT THERE IS NOT A FREE MAN IN $FRANCE, BECAUSE THE KING TAKES AWAY ANY PART OF
ANY MAN'S PROPERTY AT HIS PLEASURE; AND THAT, LET HIM DO WHAT HE WILL TO ANY MAN
, THERE IS NO REMEDY.
0770-FN/1698:036(036) THE $TURKS TELL US THERE ARE NO SLAVES AMONG THEM, EXCEPT
$JEWS, $MOORS, OR $CHRISTIANS; AND WHO IS THERE THAT KNOWS NOT, THEY ARE ALL SLA
VES TO THE $GRAND_SIGNOR, AND HAVE NO REMEDY AGAINST HIS WILL?
0771-FN/1698:037(048) A SLAVE PROPERLY IS ONE, WHO IS ABSOLUTELY SUBJECTED TO TH
E WILL OF ANOTHER MAN WITHOUT ANY REMEDY: AND NOT ONE THAT IS ONLY SUBJECTED UND
ER CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, AND UPON CERTAIN ACCOUNTS NECESSARY FOR THE GOOD OF THE
COMMONWEALTH, THO SUCH AN ONE MAY GO UNDER THAT NAME.
0772-FN/1698:038(033) AND THE CONFOUNDING THESE TWO CONDITIONS OF MEN BY A NAME
COMMON TO BOTH, HAS IN MY OPINION BEEN NONE OF THE LEAST HARDSHIPS PUT UPON THOS
E WHO OUGHT TO BE NAMED SERVANTS.
0773-FN/1698:039(037) WE ARE ALL SUBJECTED TO THE LAWS; AND THE EASIER OR HARDER
 CONDITIONS IMPOSED BY THEM UPON THE SEVERAL RANKS OF MEN IN ANY SOCIETY, MAKE N
OT THE DISTINCTION THAT IS BETWEEN A FREEMAN AND A SLAVE.
0774-FN/1698:040(047) SO THAT THE CONDITION OF SLAVES AMONG THE ANTIENTS, WILL U
PON SERIOUS CONSIDERATION APPEAR TO BE ONLY A BETTER PROVISION IN THEIR GOVERNME
NTS THAN ANY WE HAVE, THAT NO MAN MIGHT WANT THE NECESSITIES OF LIFE, NOR ANY PE
RSON ABLE TO WORK BE BURDENSOME TO THE COMMONWEALTH.
0775-FN/1698:041(024) AND THEY WISELY JUDGED OF THE INCONVENIENCES THAT BEFALL T
HE MOST PART OF POOR PEOPLE, WHEN THEY ARE ALL ABANDONED TO THEIR OWN CONDUCT.
0776-FN/1698:042(095) I KNOW THAT THESE TWO CONDITIONS OF MEN WERE CONFOUNDED UN
DER THE SAME NAME, AS WELL BY THE ANTIENTS AS THEY ARE BY US; BUT THE REASON WAS
, THAT HAVING OFTEN TAKEN IN WAR THE SUBJECTS OF ABSOLUTE MONARCHS, THEY THOUGHT
 THEY DID THEM NO WRONG IF THEY DID NOT BETTER THEIR CONDITION: AND AS IN SOME O
F THEIR GOVERNMENTS THE CONDITION OF SLAVES WAS UNDER A WORSE REGULATION THAN IN
 OTHERS, SO IN SOME OF THEM IT DIFFER'D VERY LITTLE, IF AT ALL, FROM THE CONDITI
ON OF SUCH A SLAVE AS I HAVE DEFINED.
0777-FN/1698:043(022) BUT I DO NOT APPROVE, AND THEREFORE WILL NOT GO ABOUT TO D
EFEND ANY OF THOSE BAD AND CRUEL REGULATIONS ABOUT SLAVES.
0778-FN/1698:044(050) AND BECAUSE IT WOULD BE TEDIOUS AND NEEDLESS TO PURSUE THE
 VARIOUS CONDITIONS OF THEM IN SEVERAL AGES AND GOVERNMENTS, IT SHALL BE ENOUGH
FOR ME TO EXPLAIN UNDER WHAT CONDITIONS THEY MIGHT BE BOTH GOOD AND USEFUL, AS W
ELL AS I THINK THEY ARE NECESSARY IN A WELL=REGULATED GOVERNMENT.
0779-FN/1698:045(025) FIRST THEN, THEIR MASTERS SHOULD NOT HAVE POWER OVER THEIR
 LIVES, BUT THE LIFE OF THE MASTER SHOULD GO FOR THE LIFE OF THE SERVANT.
0780-FN/1698:046(047) THE MASTER SHOULD HAVE NO POWER TO MUTILATE OR TORTURE HIM
; THAT IN SUCH CASES THE SERVANT SHOULD NOT ONLY HAVE HIS FREEDOM (WHICH ALONE W
OULD MAKE HIM BURDENSOME TO THE PUBLICK) BUT A SUFFICIENT YEARLY PENSION SO LONG
 AS HE SHOULD LIVE FROM HIS SAID MASTER.
0781-FN/1698:047(015) THAT HE, HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN, SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR IN
CLOTHES, DIET, AND LODGING.
0782-FN/1698:048(159) THAT THEY SHOULD BE TAUGHT THE PRINCIPLES OF MORALITY AND
RELIGION; TO READ, AND BE ALLOWED THE USE OF CERTAIN BOOKS: THAT THEY SHOULD NOT
 WORK UPON $SUNDAYS, AND BE ALLOWED TO GO TO CHURCH: THAT IN EVERY THING, EXCEPT
 THEIR DUTY AS SERVANTS, THEY SHOULD NOT BE UNDER THE WILL OF THEIR MASTERS, BUT
 THE PROTECTION OF THE LAW: THAT WHEN THESE SERVANTS GROW OLD, AND ARE NO MORE U
SEFUL TO THEIR MASTERS, (LEST UPON THAT ACCOUNT THEY SHOULD BE ILL USED) HOSPITA
LS SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR THEM BY THE PUBLICK: THAT IF FOR THEIR GOOD AND FAITHF
UL SERVICE, ANY MASTER GIVE THEM THEIR FREEDOM, HE SHOULD BE OBLIGED TO GIVE THE
M LIKEWISE WHEREWITHAL TO SUBSIST, OR PUT THEM IN A WAY OF LIVING WITHOUT BEING
TROUBLESOME TO THE COMMONWEALTH: THAT THEY SHOULD WEAR NO HABIT OR MARK TO DISTI
NGUISH THEM FROM HIRED SERVANTS: THAT ANY MAN SHOULD BE PUNISHED WHO GIVES THEM
THE OPPROBRIOUS NAME OF SLAVE.
0783-FN/1698:049(071) SO, EXCEPT IT WERE THAT THEY COULD POSSESS NOTHING, AND MI
GHT BE SOLD, WHICH REALLY WOULD BE BUT AN ALIENATION OF THEIR SERVICE WITHOUT TH
EIR CONSENT, THEY WOULD LIVE IN A MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE CONDITION (WANTING NOTHI
NG NECESSARY FOR LIFE) THAN THOSE WHO HAVING A POWER TO POSSESS ALL THINGS, ARE
VERY OFTEN IN WANT OF EVERYTHING, TO SUCH A DEGREE, THAT MANY THOUSANDS OF THEM
COME TO STARVE FOR HUNGER.
0784-FN/1698:050(038) IT WILL BE SAID, THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ALL THESE REGULATION
S, THEY MAY BE MOST BARBAROUSLY USED BY THEIR MASTERS, EITHER BY BEATING THEM OU
TRAGEOUSLY, MAKING THEM WORK BEYOND MEASURE, SUFFER COLD OR HUNGER, OR NEGLECTIN
G THEM IN THEIR SICKNESS.
0785-FN/1698:051(097) I ANSWER, THAT AS LONG AS THE SERVANT IS OF AN AGE NOT UNF
IT FOR WORK, ALL THESE THINGS ARE AGAINST THE INTEREST OF THE MASTER: THAT THE M
OST BRUTAL MAN WILL NOT USE HIS BEAST ILL ONLY OUT OF A HUMOR; AND THAT IF SUCH
INCONVENIENCES DO SOMETIMES FALL OUT, IT PROCEEDS, FOR THE MOST PART, FROM THE P
ERVERSENESS OF THE SERVANT: THAT ALL INCONVENIENCES CANNOT BE OBVIATED BY ANY GO
VERNMENT; THAT WE MUST CHUSE THE LEAST; AND THAT TO PREVENT THEM IN THE BEST MAN
NER POSSIBLE, A PARTICULAR MAGISTRATE MIGHT BE INSTITUTED FOR THAT END.
0786-FN/1698:052(196) THE CONDITION OF SUCH A SERVANT IS TO BE ESTEEMED FREE; BE
CAUSE IN THE MOST ESSENTIAL THINGS, HE IS ONLY SUBJECT TO THE LAWS, AND NOT TO T
HE WILL OF HIS MASTER, WHO CAN NEITHER TAKE AWAY HIS LIFE, MUTILATE, TORTURE, OR
 RESTRAIN HIM FROM THE COMFORTS OF WIFE AND CHILDREN: BUT ON THE OTHER HAND, FOR
 THE SERVICE HE DOES, IS OBLIGED TO EASE HIM OF THE INCONVENIENCES OF MARRIAGE,
BY PROVIDING FOR HIM, HIS WIFE, AND CHILDREN, CLOTHES, FOOD, AND LODGING: AND TH
E CONDITION OF A BASCHAW, OR GREAT LORD, UNDER ARBITRARY GOVERNMENT (WHO FOR THE
 SAKE, AND FROM A NECESSITY OF WHAT THEY CALL GOVERNMENT, HAS JOINED TO THE QUAL
ITY OF A SLAVE THE OFFICE OF A TYRANT, AND IMAGINES HIMSELF A MAN OF QUALITY, IF
 NOT A LITTLE PRINCE, BY SUCH PREEMINENCE) IS ALTOGETHER SLAVISH; SINCE HE IS UN
DER THE PROTECTION OF NO LAW, NO NOT SO MUCH AS TO HIS LIFE, OR THE HONOUR OF HI
S WIFE AND CHILDREN; AND IS SUBJECTED TO STRONGER TEMPTATIONS THAN ANY MAN, OF B
EING A SLAVE TO MEN IN ST $PAUL'S SENSE, WHICH IS A WORSE SORT OF SLAVERY THAN A
NY I HAVE YET MENTIONED.
0787-FN/1698:053(033) THAT IS, OF BEING SUBSERVIENT TO, AND AN INSTRUMENT OF THE
 LUSTS OF HIS MASTER THE TYRANT: SINCE IF HE REFUSE SLAVISHLY TO OBEY, HE MUST L
OSE HIS OFFICE, AND PERHAPS HIS LIFE.
0788-FN/1698:054(090) AND INDEED MEN OF ALL RANKS LIVING UNDER ARBITRARY GOVERNM
ENT (SO MUCH PREACHED AND RECOMMENDED BY THE FAR GREATER PART OF CHURCHMEN) BEIN
G REALLY UNDER THE PROTECTION OF NO LAW, (WHATEVER MAY BE PRETENDED) ARE NOT ONL
Y SLAVES, AS I HAVE DEFINED BEFORE, BUT BY HAVING NO OTHER CERTAIN REMEDY IN ANY
 THING AGAINST THE LUST AND PASSIONS OF THEIR SUPERIORS, EXCEPT SUFFERING OR COM
PLIANCE, LIE UNDER THE MOST VIOLENT TEMPTATIONS OF BEING SLAVES IN THE WORST SEN
SE, AND OF THE ONLY SORT THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE $CHRISTIAN RELIGION.
0789-FN/1698:055(035) A CONDITION (WHATEVER MEN MAY IMAGINE) SO MUCH MORE MISERA
BLE THAN THAT OF SERVANTS PROTECTED BY THE LAWS IN ALL THINGS NECESSARY FOR THE
SUBSISTENCE OF THEM AND THEIR POSTERITY, THAT THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
0790-FN/1698:056(016) I SHALL NOW PROCEED TO THE GREAT ADVANTAGES THE ANTIENTS R
ECEIVED FROM THIS SORT OF SERVANTS.
0791-FN/1698:057(160) BY THUS PROVIDING FOR THEIR POOR, AND MAKING EVERY MAN USE
FUL TO THE COMMONWEALTH, THEY WERE NOT ONLY ABLE TO PERFORM THOSE GREAT AND STUP
ENDOUS PUBLICK WORKS, HIGH=WAYS, AQUEDUCTS, COMMON=SHORES, WALLS OF CITIES, SEA=
PORTS, BRIDGES, MONUMENTS FOR THE DEAD, TEMPLES, AMPHITHEATRES, THEATERS, PLACES
 FOR ALL MANNER OF EXERCISES AND EDUCATION, BATHS, COURTS OF JUSTICE, MARKET=PLA
CES, PUBLICK WALKS, AND OTHER MAGNIFICENT WORKS FOR THE USE AND CONVENIENCY OF T
HE PUBLICK; WITH WHICH $EGYPT, $ASIA, $GREECE, $ITALY, AND OTHER COUNTRIES WERE
FILLED; AND TO ADORN THEM WITH STATELY PILLARS AND OBELISKS, CURIOUS STATUES, MO
ST EXQUISITE SCULPTURE AND PAINTING: BUT EVERY PARTICULAR MAN MIGHT INDULGE HIMS
ELF IN ANY KIND OF FINERY AND MAGNIFICENCE; NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE HAD SLAVES TO PE
RFORM IT ACCORDING TO HIS FANCY, BUT BECAUSE ALL THE POOR BEING PROVIDED FOR, TH
ERE COULD BE NO CRIME IN MAKING UNNECESSARY EXPENCES, WHICH ARE ALWAYS CONTRARY,
 NOT ONLY TO $CHRISTIAN CHARITY, BUT COMMON HUMANITY, AS LONG AS ANY POOR MAN WA
NTS BREAD.
0792-FN/1698:058(127) FOR THO WE THINK THAT IN MAKING THOSE EXPENCES, WE EMPLOY
THE POOR; AND THAT IN BUILDING COSTLY HOUSES, AND FURNISHING THEM, MAKING FINE G
ARDENS, RICH STUFFS, LACES AND EMBROIDERIES FOR APPAREL, THE POOR ARE SET TO WOR
K; YET SO LONG AS ALL THE POOR ARE NOT PROVIDED FOR, (THO A MAN CANNOT REPROACH
TO HIMSELF IN PARTICULAR WHY IT IS NOT DONE) AND THAT THERE IS ANY POOR FAMILY I
N A STARVING CONDITION, 'TIS AGAINST COMMON HUMANITY (AND NO DOUBT WOULD HAVE BE
EN JUDGED TO BE SO BY THE ANTIENTS) FOR ANY MAN TO INDULGE HIMSELF IN THINGS UNN
ECESSARY, WHEN OTHERS WANT WHAT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY FOR LIFE, ESPECIALLY SIN
CE THE FURNISHING OF THOSE THINGS TO THEM, DOES EMPLOY WORKMEN AS WELL AS OUR UN
NECESSARY EXPENCES.
0793-FN/1698:059(058) SO THAT THE ANTIENTS, WITHOUT GIVING THE LEAST CHECK TO A
TENDER COMPASSION FOR THE NECESSITIES OF OTHERS (A VIRTUE SO NATURAL TO GREAT MI
NDS, SO NICELY TO BE PRESERVED AND CHERISHED) MIGHT NOT ONLY ADORN THEIR PUBLICK
 BUILDINGS WITH ALL THE REFINEMENTS OF ART, BUT LIKEWISE BEAUTIFY THEIR PRIVATE
HOUSES, VILLA'S AND GARDENS WITH THE GREATEST CURIOSITY.
0794-FN/1698:060(055) BUT WE BY PERSISTING IN THE LIKE, AND OTHER UNNECESSARY EX
PENCES, WHILE ALL THE POOR ARE NOT PROVIDED FOR (EXAMPLE, VANITY, AND THE LOVE O
F PLEASURE, BEING PREDOMINANT IN US) HAVE NOT ONLY EFFACED ALL THE VESTIGES OF $
CHRISTIAN CHARITY, BUT BANISHED NATURAL COMPASSION FROM AMONGST US, THAT WITHOUT
 REMORSE WE MIGHT CONTINUE IN THEM.
0795-FN/1698:061(041) THIS EXPLAINS TO US BY WHAT MEANS SO MUCH VIRTUE AND SIMPL
ICITY OF MANNERS COULD SUBSIST IN THE CITIES OF $GREECE, AND THE LESSER $ASIA, I
N THE MIDST OF SO GREAT CURIOSITY AND REFINEMENT IN THE ARTS OF MAGNIFICENCE AND
 ORNAMENT.
0796-FN/1698:062(111) FOR IN ANTIENT TIMES GREAT RICHES, AND CONSEQUENTLY BAD AR
TS TO ACQUIRE THEM, WERE NOT NECESSARY FOR THOSE THINGS; BECAUSE IF A MAN POSSES
SED A MODERATE NUMBER OF SLAVES, HE MIGHT CHUSE TO EMPLOY THEM IN ANY SORT OF MA
GNIFICENCE, EITHER PRIVATE OR PUBLICK, FOR USE OR ORNAMENT, AS HE THOUGHT FIT, W
HILST HE HIMSELF LIVED IN THE GREATEST SIMPLICITY, HAVING NEITHER COACHES NOR HO
RSES TO CARRY HIM, AS IN TRIUMPH, THROUGH THE CITY; NOR A FAMILY IN MOST THINGS
COMPOSED LIKE THAT OF A PRINCE, AND A MULTITUDE OF IDLE SERVANTS TO CONSUME HIS
ESTATE: WOMEN WERE NOT THEN INTOLERABLY EXPENSIVE, BUT WHOLLY IMPLOYED IN THE CA
RE OF DOMESTICK AFFAIRS.
0797-FN/1698:063(025) NEITHER DID THE FURNITURE OF THEIR HOUSES AMOUNT TO SUCH V
AST SUMS AS WITH US; BUT WAS FOR THE MOST PART WROUGHT BY THEIR SLAVES.
0798-FN/1698:064(048) ANOTHER ADVANTAGE WHICH THE ANTIENTS HAD BY THIS SORT OF S
ERVANTS, WAS, THAT THEY WERE NOT UNDER THAT UNEASINESS, AND UNSPEAKABLE VEXATION
 WHICH WE SUFFER BY OUR HIRED SERVANTS, WHO ARE NEVER BRED TO BE GOOD FOR ANY TH
ING, THO MOST OF THE SLAVES AMONGST THE ANTIENTS WERE.
0799-FN/1698:065(025) AND THO WE BESTOW THE GREATEST PAINS OR COST TO EDUCATE ON
E OF THEM FROM HIS YOUTH, UPON THE LEAST CROSS WORD HE LEAVES US.
0800-FN/1698:066(033) SO THAT 'TIS MORE THAN PROBABLE THIS SORT OF SERVANTS GROW
ING EVERY DAY WORSE, THE UNSPEAKABLE TROUBLE ARISING FROM THEM, WITHOUT ANY OTHE
R CONSIDERATION, WILL FORCE THE WORLD TO RETURN TO THE FORMER.
0801-FN/1698:067(033) AMONG THE ANTIENTS, ANY MASTER WHO HAD THE LEAST JUDGMENT
OR DISCRETION, WAS SERVED WITH EMULATION BY ALL HIS SLAVES, THAT THOSE WHO BEST
PERFORMED THEIR DUTY, MIGHT OBTAIN THEIR LIBERTY FROM HIM.
0802-FN/1698:068(060) A SLAVE, THO FURNISHED WITH EVERY THING NECESSARY, YET POS
SESSING NOTHING, HAD NO TEMPTATION TO CHEAT HIS MASTER; WHEREAS A HIRED SERVANT,
 WHILST HE REMAINS UNMARRIED, WILL CHEAT HIS MASTER OF WHAT MAY BE A STOCK TO HI
M WHEN MARRIED; AND IF AFTER HIS MARRIAGE HE CONTINUE TO SERVE HIS MASTER, HE WI
LL BE SURE TO CHEAT HIM MUCH MORE.
0803-FN/1698:069(026) WHEN THE ANTIENTS GAVE FREEDOM TO A SLAVE, THEY WERE OBLIG
ED TO GIVE HIM WHEREWITHAL TO SUBSIST, OR TO PUT HIM INTO A WAY OF LIVING.
0804-FN/1698:070(036) AND HOW WELL AND FAITHFULLY THEY WERE SERVED BY THOSE THEY
 HAD MADE FREE, (WHOM FROM A LONG EXPERIENCE OF THEIR PROBITY AND CAPACITY, THEY
 OFTEN MADE STEWARDS OF THEIR ESTATES) ALL ANTIENT HISTORY DOES TESTIFY.
0805-FN/1698:071(087) NOW, WE HAVING NO REGULAR WAY TO ENABLE A SERVANT TO PROVI
DE SUFFICIENT MAINTENANCE FOR HIS FAMILY, WHEN HE BECOMES INDEPENDENT OF HIS MAS
TER, HIS BARE WAGES (OUT OF WHICH HE IS FOR THE MOST PART TO PROVIDE HIMSELF WIT
H MANY NECESSARIES FOR DAILY USE) NOT BEING ENOUGH FOR THAT PURPOSE, AND NO WAY
LEFT BUT TO CHEAT HIS MASTER, WE OUGHT NOT TO EXPECT ANY PROBITY OR FIDELITY IN
OUR SERVANTS, BECAUSE, FOR WANT OF ORDER IN THIS POINT, WE SUBJECT THEM TO SUCH
STRONG TEMPTATIONS.
0806-FN/1698:072(046) I MIGHT INSIST UPON MANY OTHER ADVANTAGES THE ANTIENTS HAD
 IN THE WAY THEY WERE SERVED, IF TO PERSUADE THE EXPEDIENT I PROPOSE, I WERE NOT
 TO MAKE USE OF STRONGER ARGUMENTS THAN SUCH AS CAN BE DRAWN FROM ANY ADVANTAGES
; I MEAN THOSE OF NECESSITY.
0807-ET/1699:001(028) THIS IS A FULL AND TRUE ACCOUNT OF HIS GENUINE WORKS AND S
ENTIMENTS, NOT PUTTING THE DIRECTIONS OR ASSISTANCE WHICH HE FREQUENTLY GAVE OTH
ER WRITERS, TO HIS ACCOUNT.
0808-ET/1699:002(045) TOWARDS THE LATTER PART OF HIS TIME HE CONTRACTED HIS LIBR
ARY, BOTH BECAUSE THE HEIRS HE LEFT COULD NOT MAKE A RIGHT USE OF IT, AND THAT H
E THOUGHT HE MIGHT SELL IT MORE TO THEIR ADVANTAGE THAN THEY COULD BE ABLE TO DO
 THEMSELVES.
0809-ET/1699:003(071) HIS ENEMIES REPORTED THAT POVERTY CONSTRAIN'D HIM THUS TO
PART WITH HIS BOOKS: AND WERE THIS TRUE, IT WOULD BE INDEED A GREAT DISGRACE, NO
T TO HIM (FOR PERSONS OF THE HIGHEST MERITS HAVE BEEN OFTEN REDUC'D TO THAT COND
ITION) BUT TO ANY COUNTRY THAT SHOULD HAVE NO MORE REGARD TO PROBITY OR LEARNING
: THIS STORY HOWEVER IS SO FALSE, THAT HE DY'D WORTH FIFTEEN HUNDRED POUNDS, BES
IDES ALL HIS GOODS.
0810-ET/1699:004(025) THE HOUSE WHEREIN HE WAS BORN, AND WHICH STRANGERS US'D TO
 VISIT BEFORE THE FIRE, WAS PART OF HIS ESTATE AS LONG AS IT STOOD.
0811-ET/1699:005(031) HE PUT TWO THOUSAND POUNDS INTO THE EXCISE, WHICH HE LOST
WHEN THAT BANK FAIL'D; NOT TO MENTION ANOTHER GREAT SUM WHICH WAS GON FOR WANT O
F MANAGEMENT AND GOOD ADVICE.
0812-ET/1699:006(046) HE WAS NEVER VERY HEALTHY, NOR TOO SICKLY; AND THE DISTEMP
ER THAT TROUBLED HIM MOST OF ANY OTHER WAS THE GOUT, OF WHICH HE DY'D WITHOUT MU
CH PAIN IN THE YEAR FROM THE BIRTH OF $CHRIST 1674, AND IN THE SIX AND SIXTIETH
OF HIS AGE.
0813-ET/1699:007(057) ALL HIS LEARNED AND GREAT FRIENDS IN $LONDON, NOT WITHOUT
A FRIENDLY CONCOURSE OF THE VULGAR, ACCOMPANY'D HIS BODY TO THE CHURCH OF $ST_GI
LES NEAR $CRIPPLEGATE, WHERE HE LIES BURIED IN THE CHANCEL; AND WHERE THE PIETY
OF HIS ADMIRERS WILL SHORTLY ERECT A MONUMENT BECOMING HIS WORTH, AND THE INCOUR
AGEMENT OF LETTERS IN KING $WILLIAM'S REIGN.
0814-ET/1699:008(064) THUS LIV'D AND DY'D $JOHN_MILTON, A PERSON OF THE BEST ACC
OMPLISHMENTS, THE HAPPIEST GENIUS, AND THE VASTEST LEARNING WHICH THIS NATION, S
O RENOWN'D FOR PRODUCING EXCELLENT WRITERS, COULD EVER YET SHEW: ESTEEM'D INDEED
 AT HOME, BUT MUCH MORE HONOR'D ABROAD, WHERE ALMOST IN HIS CHILDHOOD HE MADE A
CONSIDERABLE FIGURE, AND CONTINUES TO BE STILL REPUTED ONE OF THE BRIGHTEST LUMI
NARIES OF THE SCIENCES.
0815-ET/1699:009(034) HE WAS MIDDLESIZ'D AND WELL PROPORTION'D, HIS DEPORTMENT E
RECT AND MANLY, HIS HAIR OF A LIGHT BROWN, HIS FEATURES EXACTLY REGULAR, HIS COM
PLEXION WONDERFULLY FAIR WHEN A YOUTH, AND RUDDY TO THE VERY LAST.
0816-ET/1699:010(027) HE WAS AFFABLE IN CONVERSATION, OF AN EQUAL AND CHEARFUL T
EMPER, AND HIGHLY DELIGHTED WITH ALL SORTS OF MUSIC, IN WHICH HE WAS HIMSELF NOT
 MEANLY SKIL'D.
0817-ET/1699:011(027) HE WAS EXTRAORDINARY TEMPERATE IN HIS DIET, WHICH WAS ANY
THING MOST IN SEASON OR THE EASIEST PROCUR'D, AND WAS NO FRIEND TO SHARP OR STRO
NG LIQUORS.
0818-ET/1699:012(055) HIS RECREATIONS, BEFORE HIS SIGHT WAS GONE, CONSISTED MUCH
 IN FEATS OF ACTIVITY, PARTICULARLY IN THE EXERCISE OF HIS ARMS, WHICH HE COULD
HANDLE WITH DEXTERITY: BUT WHEN BLINDNESS AND AGE CONFIN'D HIM, HE PLAY'D MUCH U
PON AN ORGAN HE KEPT IN THE HOUSE; AND HAD A PULLEY TO SWING AND KEEP HIM IN MOT
ION.
0819-ET/1699:013(010) BUT THE LOVE OF BOOKS EXCEDED ALL HIS OTHER PASSIONS.
0820-ET/1699:014(079) IN SUMMER HE WOULD BE STIRRING AT FOUR IN THE MORNING, AND
 IN WINTER AT FIVE; BUT AT NIGHT HE US'D TO GO TO BED BY NINE, PARTLY ATTRIBUTIN
G THE LOSS OF HIS EYES TO HIS LATE WATCHING WHEN HE WAS A STUDENT, AND LOOKING O
N THIS CUSTOM AS VERY PERNICIOUS TO HEALTH AT ANY TIME: BUT WHEN HE WAS NOT DISP
OS'D TO RISE AT HIS USUAL HOURS, HE ALWAYS HAD ONE TO READ TO HIM BY HIS BEDSIDE
.
0821-ET/1699:015(071) AS HE LOOK'D UPON TRUE AND ABSOLUTE FREEDOM TO BE THE GREA
TEST HAPPINESS OF THIS LIFE, WHETHER TO SOCIETIES OR SINGLE PERSONS; SO HE THOUG
HT CONSTRAINT OF ANY SORT TO BE THE UTMOST MISERY: FOR WHICH REASON HE US'D TO T
ELL THOSE ABOUT HIM THE INTIRE SATISFACTION OF HIS MIND, THAT HE HAD CONSTANTLY
IMPLOY'D HIS STRENGTH AND FACULTIES IN THE DEFENCE OF LIBERTY, AND IN A DIRECT O
PPOSITION TO SLAVERY.
0822-ET/1699:016(057) HE EVER EXPREST THE PROFOUNDEST REVERENCE TO THE DEITY AS
WELL IN DEEDS AS WORDS; AND WOULD SAY TO HIS FRIENDS, THAT THE DIVINE PROPERTIES
 OF GOODNESS, JUSTICE, AND MERCY, WERE THE ADEQUATE RULE OF HUMAN ACTIONS, NOR L
ESS THE OBJECT OF IMITATION FOR PRIVATE ADVANTAGES, THAN OF ADMIRATION OR RESPEC
T FOR THEIR OWN EXCELLENCE AND PERFECTION.
0823-ET/1699:017(085) IN HIS EARLY DAYS HE WAS A FAVORER OF THOSE $PROTESTANTS T
HEN OPPROBRIOUSLY CAL'D BY THE NAME OF $PURITANS: IN HIS MIDDLE YEARS HE WAS BES
T PLEAS'D WITH THE $INDEPENDENTS AND $ANABAPTISTS, AS ALLOWING OF MORE LIBERTY T
HAN OTHERS, AND COMING NEAREST IN HIS OPINIONS TO THE PRIMITIVE PRACTICE: BUT IN
 THE LATTER PART OF HIS LIFE, HE WAS NOT A PROTEST MEMBER OF ANY PARTICULAR SECT
 AMONG $CHRISTIANS, HE FREQUENTED NONE OF THEIR ASSEMBLIES, NOR MADE USE OF THEI
R PECULIAR RITES IN HIS FAMILY.
0824-ET/1699:018(098) WHETHER THIS PROCEEDED FROM A DISLIKE OF THEIR UNCHARITABL
E AND ENDLESS DISPUTES, AND THAT LOVE OF DOMINION, OR INCLINATION TO PERSECUTION
, WHICH, HE SAID, WAS A PIECE OF POPERY INSEPARABLE FROM ALL CHURCHES; OR WHETHE
R HE THOUGHT ONE MIGHT BE A GOOD MAN, WITHOUT SUBSCRIBING TO ANY PARTY; AND THAT
 THEY HAD ALL IN SOME THINGS CORRUPTED THE INSTITUTIONS OF $JESUS_CHRIST, I WILL
 BY NO MEANS ADVENTURE TO DETERMINE: FOR CONJECTURES ON SUCH OCCASIONS ARE VERY
UNCERTAIN, AND I NEVER MET WITH ANY OF HIS ACQUAINTANCE WHO COULD BE POSITIVE IN
 ASSIGNING THE TRUE REASONS OF HIS CONDUCT.
0825-ET/1699:019(056) I SHALL NOW CONCLUDE THIS DISCOURSE WITH A CHARACTER GIVEN
 OF HIM BY A MAN OF UNPARALLEL'D DILIGENCE AND INDUSTRY, WHO HAS DISOBLIG'D ALL
SIDES MERELY FOR TELLING THE TRUTH EITHER INTIRELY, OR WITHOUT DISGUISE; AND WHO
, SINCE MOST MEN HAVE THE FRAILTY OF INGAGING IN FACTIONS, CANNOT BE SUSPECTED O
F PARTIALITY IN FAVOR OF $MILTON.
0826-ET/1699:020(076) HE WAS A PERSON, SAYS $ANTHONY_WOOD IN THE FIRST VOLUME OF
 HIS "$ATHENAE_OXONIENSES", OF WONDERFUL PARTS, OF A VERY SHARP, BITING, AND SAT
YRICAL WIT; HE WAS A GOOD PHILOSOPHER AND HISTORIAN; AN EXCELLENT POET, LATINIST
, GRECIAN, AND HEBRICIAN; A GOOD MATHEMATICIAN AND MUSICIAN; AND SO RARELY ENDOW
'D BY NATURE, THAT HAD HE BEEN BUT HONESTLY PRINCIPLED, HE MIGHT HAVE BEEN HIGHL
Y USEFUL TO THAT PARTY, AGAINST WHICH HE ALL ALONG APPEAR'D WITH MUCH MALICE AND
 BITTERNESS.
0827-FE/1699:001(025) AND THUS HAVE WE DONE WITH THE VARIOUS SPECIES OF ALL SUCH
 ESCULENTS AS MAY PROPERLY ENTER THE COMPOSITION OF OUR $ACETARIA, AND COLD SALL
ET.
0828-FE/1699:002(071) AND IF I HAVE BRIEFLY TOUCH'D UPON THEIR NATURES, DEGREES,
 AND PRIMARY QUALITIES, WHICH INTEND OR REMIT, AS TO THE SCALE OF HEAT, COLD, DR
INESS, MOISTURE, ETC (WHICH IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT TEXTU
RE OF THEIR COMPONENT PARTICLES) IT HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT WHAT I THOUGHT NECESSAR
Y FOR THE INSTRUCTION OF THE GATHERER, AND SALLET=DRESSER; HOW HE OUGHT TO CHOOS
E, SORT, AND MINGLE HIS MATERIALS AND INGREDIENTS TOGETHER.
0829-FE/1699:003(017) WHAT CARE AND CIRCUMSPECTION SHOULD ATTEND THE CHOICE AND
COLLECTION OF SALLET HERBS, HAS BEEN PARTLY SHEW'D.
0830-FE/1699:004(033) I CAN THEREFORE, BY NO MEANS, APPROVE OF THAT EXTRAVAGANT
FANCY OF SOME, WHO TELL US, THAT A FOOL IS AS FIT TO BE THE GATHERER OF A SALLET
 AS A WISER MAN.
0831-FE/1699:005(151) BECAUSE, SAY THEY, ONE CAN HARDLY CHOOSE AMISS, PROVIDED T
HE PLANTS BE GREEN, YOUNG, AND TENDER, WHERE=EVER THEY MEET WITH THEM: BUT SAD E
XPERIENCE SHEWS, HOW MANY FATAL MISTAKES HAVE BEEN COMMITTED BY THOSE WHO TOOK T
HE DEADLY $CICUTAE, HEMLOCKS, $ACONITS, ETC FOR GARDEN PERSLEY, AND PARSNEPS; TH
E $MYRRHIS_SYLVESTRIS, OR COW=WEED, FOR $CHAEROPHILUM, (CHERVIL) $THAPSIA FOR FE
NNEL; THE WILD $CHONDRILLA FOR SUCCORY; DOGS=MERCURY INSTEAD OF SPINACH: $PAPAVE
R_CORNICULATUM_LUTEUM, AND HORN'D POPPY FOR $ERINGO; $OENANTHE_AQUATICA FOR THE
$PALUSTRAL_APIUM, AND A WORLD MORE, WHOSE DIRE EFFECTS HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES SUDD
EN DEATH, AND THE CAUSE OF MORTAL ACCIDENTS TO THOSE WHO HAVE EATEN OF THEM UNWI
TTINGLY: BUT SUPPOSING SOME OF THOSE WILD AND UNKNOWN PLANTS SHOULD NOT PROVE SO
 DELETERIOUS AND UNWHOLSOME; YET MAY OTHERS OF THEM ANNOY THE HEAD, BRAIN, AND $
GENUS_NERVOSUM, WEAKEN THE EYES, OFFEND THE STOMACH, AFFECT THE LIVER, TORMENT T
HE BOWELS, AND DISCOVER THEIR MALIGNITY IN DANGEROUS AND DREADFUL SYMPTOMS.
0832-FE/1699:006(017) AND THEREFORE SUCH PLANTS AS ARE RATHER MEDICINAL THAN NOU
RISHING AND REFRESHING, ARE STUDIOUSLY TO BE REJECTED.
0833-FE/1699:007(058) SO HIGHLY NECESSARY IT IS, THAT WHAT WE SOMETIMES FIND IN
OLD BOOKS CONCERNING EDULES OF OTHER COUNTRIES AND CLIMATES (FREQUENTLY CALL'D B
Y THE NAMES OF SUCH AS ARE WHOLSOME IN OURS, AND AMONG US) MISLEAD NOT THE UNSKI
LFUL GATHERER; TO PREVENT WHICH WE READ OF DIVERS POPES AND EMPERORS, THAT HAD S
OMETIMES LEARNED PHYSICIANS FOR THEIR MASTER=COOKS.
0834-FE/1699:008(062) I CANNOT THEREFORE BUT EXCEEDINGLY APPROVE OF THAT CHARITA
BLE ADVICE OF MR $RAY WHO THINKS IT THE INTEREST OF MANKIND, THAT ALL PERSONS SH
OULD BE CAUTION'D OF ADVENT'RING UPON UNKNOWN HERBS AND PLANTS TO THEIR PREJUDIC
E: OF SUCH, I SAY, WITH OUR EXCELLENT POET (A LITTLE CHANG'D) <HAPPY FROM SUCH C
ONCEAL'D, IF STILL DO LIE, OF ROOTS AND HERBS THE UNWHOLSOME LUXURY>.
0835-FE/1699:009(022) THE ILLUSTRIOUS AND LEARNED $COLUMNA HAS, BY OBSERVING WHA
T INSECTS DID USUALLY FEED ON, MADE CONJECTURES OF THE NATURE OF THE PLANTS.
0836-FE/1699:010(071) BUT I SHOULD NOT SO READILY ADVENTURE UPON IT ON THAT ACCO
UNT, AS TO ITS WHOLSOMNESS: FOR THO' INDEED ONE MAY SAFELY EAT OF A PEACH OR ABR
ICOT, AFTER A SNAIL HAS BEEN TASTER, I QUESTION WHETHER IT MIGHT BE SO OF ALL OT
HER FRUITS AND HERBS ATTACK'D BY OTHER INSECTS: NOR WOULD ONE CONCLUDE, THE $HYO
SCYAMUS HARMLESS, BECAUSE THE $CIMEX FEEDS UPON IT, AS THE LEARNED DR $LYSTER HA
S DISCOVER'D.
0837-FE/1699:011(051) NOTICE SHOULD THEREFORE BE TAKEN WHAT EGGS OF INSECTS ARE
FOUND ADHERING TO THE LEAVES OF SALLET=HERBS, AND FREQUENTLY CLEAVE SO FIRMLY TO
 THEM, AS NOT EASILY TO BE WASH'D OFF, AND SO NOT BEING TAKEN NOTICE OF, PASSING
 FOR ACCIDENTAL AND HARMLESS SPOTS ONLY, MAY YET PRODUCE VERY ILL EFFECTS.
0838-FE/1699:012(059) $GRILLUS, WHO ACCORDING TO THE DOCTRINE OF TRANSMIGRATION
(AS $PLUTARCH TELLS US) HAD, IN HIS TURN, BEEN A BEAST; DISCOURSES HOW MUCH BETT
ER HE FED, AND LIV'D, THAN WHEN HE WAS TURN'D TO MAN AGAIN, AS KNOWING THEN, WHA
T PLANTS WERE BEST AND MOST PROPER FOR HIM: WHILST MEN, SARCOPHAGISTS (FLESH=EAT
ERS) IN ALL THIS TIME WERE YET TO SEEK.
0839-FE/1699:013(055) AND 'TIS INDEED VERY EVIDENT, THAT CATTEL, AND OTHER <PANP
HAGA>, AND HERBACEOUS ANIMALS WHICH FEED ON PLANTS, ARE DIRECTED BY THEIR SMELL,
 AND ACCORDINGLY MAKE ELECTION OF THEIR FOOD: BUT MEN (BESIDES THE SMELL AND TAS
TE) HAVE, OR SHOULD HAVE, REASON, EXPERIENCE, AND THE AIDS OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY
 TO BE THEIR GUIDES IN THIS MATTER.
0840-FE/1699:014(022) WE HAVE HEARD OF PLANTS, THAT (LIKE THE BASILISK) KILL AND
 INFECT BY LOOKING ON THEM ONLY; AND SOME BY THE TOUCH.
0841-FE/1699:015(054) THE TRUTH IS, THERE'S NEED OF ALL THE SENSES TO DETERMINE
ANALOGICALLY CONCERNING THE VERTUES AND PROPERTIES, EVEN OF THE LEAVES ALONE OF
MANY EDULE PLANTS: THE MOST EMINENT PRINCIPLES OF NEAR THE WHOLE TRIBE OF SALLET
 VEGETABLES, INCLINING RATHER TO ACID AND SOUR THAN TO ANY OTHER QUALITY, ESPECI
ALLY, SALT, SWEET, OR LUSCIOUS.
0842-FE/1699:016(064) THERE IS THEREFORE SKILL AND JUDGMENT REQUIR'D, HOW TO SUI
T AND MINGLE OUR SALLET=INGREDIENTS, SO AS MAY BEST AGREE WITH THE CONSTITUTION
OF THE (VULGARLY REPUTED) HUMORS OF THOSE WHO EITHER STAND IN NEED OF, OR AFFECT
 THESE REFRESHMENTS, AND BY SO ADJUSTING THEM, THAT AS NOTHING SHOULD BE SUFFER'
D TO DOMINEER, SO SHOULD NONE OF THEM LOSE THEIR GENUINE GUST, SAVOUR, OR VERTUE

0843-FE/1699:017(020) TO THIS END, THE COOLER, AND MODERATELY REFRESHING, SHOULD
 BE CHOSEN TO EXTINGUISH THIRST, ATTEMPER THE BLOOD, REPRESS VAPOURS, ETC.
0844-FE/1699:018(103) THE HOT, DRY, AROMATIC, CORDIAL AND FRIENDLY TO THE BRAIN,
 MAY BE QUALIFY'D BY THE COLD AND MOIST: THE BITTER AND STOMACHICAL, WITH THE SU
B=ACID AND GENTLER HERBS: THE MORDICANT AND PUNGENT, AND SUCH AS REPRESS OR DISC

0845-FE/1699:019(136) THOSE OF MIDDLE NATURE, ACCORDING AS THEY APPEAR TO BE MOR
E OR LESS SPECIFIC; AND AS THEIR CHARACTERS (THO' BRIEFLY) ARE DESCRIB'D IN OUR
FOREGOING CATALOGUE: FOR NOTWITHSTANDING IT SEEM IN GENERAL, THAT RAW SALLETS AN
D HERBS HAVE EXPERIMENTALLY BEEN FOUND TO BE THE MOST SOVERAIGN DIET IN THAT END
EMIAL (AND INDEED WITH US, EPIDEMICAL AND ALMOST UNIVERSAL) CONTAGION THE SCORBU
TE, TO WHICH WE OF THIS NATION, AND MOST OTHER ILANDERS ARE OBNOXIOUS; YET, SINC
E THE $NASTURTIA ARE SINGLY, AND ALONE AS IT WERE, THE MOST EFFECTUAL, AND POWER
FUL AGENTS IN CONQUERING AND EXPUGNING THAT CRUEL ENEMY; IT WERE ENOUGH TO GIVE
THE SALLET=DRESSER DIRECTION HOW TO CHOOSE, MINGLE, AND PROPORTION HIS INGREDIEN
TS; AS WELL AS TO SHEW WHAT REMEDIES THERE ARE CONTAIN'D IN OUR MAGAZINE OF SALL
ET=PLANTS UPON ALL OCCASIONS, RIGHTLY MARSHAL'D AND SKILFULLY APPLY'D.
0846-EF/1702:001(080) A DOOR BEING HAPPILY OPEN'D FOR THE PROMULGATION OF THE GO
SPEL TO THE $GENTILES, SOME DISCIPLES BORN IN $CYPRUS AND $CYRENE, WHO SINCE THE
 DEATH OF $STEPHEN HAD TRAVELL'D IN MANY COUNTRIES, PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO THE
$JEWS ONLY, NOW ARRIV'D AT THE GREAT CITY OF $ANTIOCH; AND HEARING OF THE CONVER
SION OF $CORNELIUS AND OTHERS, THEY ALSO PREACH'D $JESUS TO THE $GREEKS AND $GEN
TILES OF THAT CITY: AND $GOD EXCEEDINGLY PROSPER'D THEIR ENDEAVOURS, AND BROUGHT
 IN NUMEROUS CONVERTS DAILY.
0847-EF/1702:002(078) THE APOSTLES WHO REMAIN'D AT $JERUSALEM, HEARING OF THIS H
APPY PROGRESS, SENT $BARNABAS TO $ANTIOCH, TO ASSIST AND CONFIRM THE DISCIPLES I
N THAT CITY; WHO COMING AND SEEING WITH WHAT GOOD SUCCESS THE GOSPEL HAD BEEN PR
EACH'D AMONG THEM, REJOYC'D EXTREAMLY, EXHORTING THEM FIRMLY TO HOLD FAST TO THE
 FAITH IN $CHRIST: AND BEING A PIOUS PERSON, AND OF MANY EXCELLENT GIFTS AND GRA
CES, BY HIS MEANS, GREAT NUMBERS OF OTHERS WERE ALSO WON OVER TO THE GOSPEL.
0848-EF/1702:003(058) IN THE SAME YEAR, ACCORDING TO THE MOST RECEIV'D OPINION,
ST $MATTHEW AT $JERUSALEM, FIRST OF ALL OTHERS UNDERTOOK TO COMMIT THE CHIEF ACT
IONS OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR TO WRITING, CALLING HIS BOOK BY THE NAME OF <"EUANGE
LION">, OR "GOSPEL", BECAUSE IT BROUGHT JOYFUL AND HAPPY TIDINGS TO MANKIND, NAM
ELY, PARDON AND REDEMPTION BY THE BLOOD OF $JESUS.
0849-EF/1702:004(052) IT WAS WRITTEN AT THE REQUEST OF THE $JEWISH CONVERTS; AND
 AS $EPIPHANIUS ADDS, AT THE COMMAND OF THE APOSTLES, ABOUT EIGHT YEARS AFTER TH
E DEATH OF $CHRIST, ACCORDING TO $EUSEBIUS; THO' $NICEPHORUS SUPPOSES IT FIFTEEN
, AND $IRENAEUS SEEMS TO IMPLY THAT IT WAS WRITTEN WHILE $PETER AND $PAUL PREACH
'D AT $ROME.
0850-EF/1702:005(046) BEING PRIMARILY DESIGN'D FOR THOSE OF THE CIRCUMCISION, HE
 BEGINS WITH THE TEMPORAL AND HUMAN GENERATION OF $JESUS_CHRIST, IN WHICH THE PR
OMISES MADE IN A SPECIAL MANNER TO $ABRAHAM AND $DAVID, CONCERNING THE $MESSIAH,
 WERE APPARENTLY FULFILL'D, WHICH WERE PARTICULAR INDUCEMENTS TO THE $JEWS TO BE
LIEVE.
0851-EF/1702:006(070) IN THE REST OF HIS GOSPEL HE TAKES MORE THAN ORDINARY NOTI
CE OF THOSE PASSAGES OF OUR SAVIOUR'S LIFE WHICH RESPECTED MEN'S MANNERS AND THE
 CORRUPTIONS OF THE $JEWS; THEREFORE HE RELATES THE "SERMON UPON THE MOUNT", $CH
RIST'S INVECTIVES AGAINST THE SCRIBES AND $PHARISEES, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF $JE
RUSALEM, MORE LARGELY THAN THE OTHER EVANGELISTS: BUT THE WHOLE IS NOT SO REGULA
R AND METHODICAL AS THE REST OF THE GOSPELS.
0852-EF/1702:007(050) THAT HIS OWN COUNTRY MEN MIGHT RECEIVE THE GREATER BENEFIT
 FROM IT, HE WROTE IT IN THE $HEBREW TONGUE, OR RATHER $SYRIACK, THE USUAL LANGU
AGE OF $PALESTINE, AS ALL THE ANCIENTS DO ASSERT; WHOSE POSITIVE DETERMINATIONS
WE CANNOT REJECT, WITHOUT STRONGER REASONS THAN WE FIND BROUGHT BY THE MODERN EN
QUIRERS.
0853-EF/1702:008(028) THE ORIGINAL HAS BEEN LONG LOST, BUT THE $GREEK VERSION RE
MAINS, BEING MADE IN THE TIME OF THE APOSTLES, BUT IT IS UNCERTAIN BY WHOM IT WA
S DONE.
0854-EF/1702:009(017) SOME BELIEVE IT DONE BY ST $JOHN, BUT $ATHANASIUS EXPRESSL
Y ATTRIBUTES IT TO $JAMES BISHOP OF $JERUSALEM.
0855-EF/1702:010(042) HOWEVER IT IMPORTS NOT MUCH, WHETHER IT WAS TRANSLATED BY
AN APOSTLE OR SOME DISCIPLE, SINCE THE APOSTLES APPROV'D OF THE VERSION, AND THE
 CHURCH HAS EVER RECEIV'D THE $GREEK COPY FOR AUTHENTICK, AND AS SUCH REPOS'D IT
 IN THE SACRED CANON.
0856-EF/1702:011(028) ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR, $SAUL AFTER THR
EE YEARS HARD LABOUR, AND MANY DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTER'D BOTH IN $SYRIA AND $CILI
CIA, RETURN'D TO HIS OWN CITY $TARSUS.
0857-EF/1702:012(037) HERE HE WAS MET BY $BARNABAS, WHO PROBABLY KNOWING HE WAS
DESIGN'D FOR A MINISTER TO THE UNCIRCUMCISION, GAVE HIM AN ACCOUNT OF HIS SUCCES
S IN $ANTIOCH AMONG THE $GENTILES, AND DESIR'D HIS ASSISTANCE IN THAT PLACE.
0858-EF/1702:013(041) WHICH BEING A LARGE AND POPULOUS CITY, THE THIRD IN THE EM
PIRE, AND THE RESIDENCE OF THE $ROMAN GOVERNOR OF THE EAST, $SAUL READILY ATTEND
ED HIM THITHER, AND CONTINU'D WITH HIM PREACHING THE GOSPEL FOR A WHOLE YEAR WIT
H EXTRAORDINARY SUCCESS.
0859-EF/1702:014(042) ABOUT THE TIME OF $SAUL'S ARRIVAL, THE GOVERNOR WAS CHANG'
D; $PETRONIUS WAS RECALL'D FROM HIS GOVERNMENT, AND $UBIUS_MARSUS SENT IN HIS RO
OM; A PERSON NOT SO GREAT A FRIEND TO THE $JEWS, AT LEAST NOT TO THEIR KING $AGR
IPPA, AS THE OTHER.
0860-EF/1702:015(046) FOR IN THE SAME YEAR $AGRIPPA HAVING TURN'D HIS CARE CHIEF
LY UPON THE CITY $JERUSALEM, TO SHEW SOME MARKS OF HIS MAGNIFICENCE, BEGAN TO FO
RTIFY AND ENLARGE THE WALLS OF THE NEW CITY, IN SUCH MANNER, THAT IF FINISH'D IT
 WOULD HAVE BEEN AN IMPREGNABLE FORTRESS.
0861-EF/1702:016(035) BUT $MARSUS, JEALOUS OF THE GREATNESS OF THIS PRINCE, SO R
EPRESENTED THE DANGER OF THIS ATTEMPT TO $CLAUDIUS HIS MASTER, THAT HE THOUGHT F
IT TO LAY HIS COMMANDS UPON HIM TO DESIST FROM THE UNDERTAKING.
0862-EF/1702:017(030) THIS SAME YEAR IS REMARKABLE FOR A GREAT FAMINE THAT HAPNE
D IN $ROME, WHICH IS NOT THE SAME WITH THAT MENTION'D IN "ACTS 2", THIS BEING PA
RTICULAR, AND THAT GENERAL.
0863-EF/1702:018(046) AND THIS IS THE YEAR, VIZ THE SECOND OF $CLAUDIUS, IN WHIC
H $BARONIUS, AND MOST OF THE $ROMAN WRITERS, WILL HAVE ST $PETER TO HAVE GONE TO
 $ROME, AND FOUNDED THE BISHOPRICK THERE, HE HIMSELF CONTINUING BISHOP OF THE PL
ACE TWENTY FIVE YEARS, 'TILL HIS MARTYRDOM.
0864-EF/1702:019(083) THIS IS AN OPINION IN WHICH THEY ARE VERY POSITIVE; BUT AF
TER THE MOST DILIGENT SEARCH, WE CAN FIND NO REAL FOUNDATION FOR IT; BUT ON THE
CONTRARY, TO US IT APPEARS REPUGNANT TO THE "ACTS OF THE APOSTLES", TO THE "EPIS
TLES" OF ST $PAUL, TO THE MOST EVIDENT CIRCUMSTANCES IN CHRONOLOGY, AND LIKEWISE
 TO THE TESTIMONY OF THE ANCIENTS, PARTICULARLY $ORIGEN AND $LACTANTIUS, WHO MEN
TION ST $PETER'S COMING TO $ROME IN THE LATTER PART OF HIS DAYS, UNDER THE REIGN
 OF $NERO.
0865-EF/1702:020(017) SO THAT WE MUST DEFER THIS SUBJECT TO SOME MORE PROBABLE Y
EAR OF HIS ARRIVAL AT $ROME.
0866-EF/1702:021(080) THO' $AGRIPPA WAS DISAPPOINTED OF HIS DESIGNS IN $JERUSALE
M, YET HE OMITTED NO OPPORTUNITY OF DISPLAYING HIS GRANDEUR, BUT IN IMITATION OF
 THE $ROMANS, AT IMMENSE CHARGES BUILT A MAGNIFICENT THEATRE AND AMPHITHEATRE, T
OGETHER WITH LARGE BATHS AND PORTICOS AT $BERYTUS IN $PHOENICIA; ALL WHICH HE DE
DICATED IN THE THIRD YEAR OF $CLAUDIUS, WITH ALL IMAGINABLE POMP AND SPLENDOR, A
S ALL KINDS OF MUSICK AND FEASTINGS, PLAYS AND SPECTACLES, WITH A FORMAL BATTLE
OF 1400 MALEFACTORS, LIKE THE $ROMAN GLADIATORS.
0867-EF/1702:022(053) AFTER WHICH HE REPAIRED TO $TIBERIAS, HIS UNCLE $HEROD'S S
EAT BY THE SEA OF $GALILEE, WHERE HE ENTERTAIN'D NO LESS THAN FIVE KINGS AT ONE
TIME, NAMELY, $ANTIOCHUS KING OF $COMAGENA, $SAMPFIGERAN KING OF THE $EMESENS, $
COTYS KING OF THE LESSER $ARMENIA, $POLEMON KING OF $PONTUS, AND HIS BROTHER $HE
ROD KING OF $CHALCIS.
0868-EF/1702:023(066) TO THESE ALSO CAME THE $ROMAN GOVERNOR $MARSUS, WHOM HE ME
T OUT OF THE CITY TO SHEW HIS RESPECT TO THE EMPIRE; BUT SUCH AN INTERVIEW OF KI
NGS, RIDING ALL IN THE SAME CHARIOT WITH $AGRIPPA, CAUS'D $MARSUS TO SUSPECT A D
ANGEROUS ALLIANCE; THEREFORE WITHOUT CONSIDERING THE RULES OF HOSPITALITY, HE IM
MEDIATELY GAVE A PARTICULAR ORDER FOR EACH OF THEM TO DEPART INTO THEIR OWN COUN
TRY.
0869-EF/1702:024(031) WHICH ACTION CAUS'D $AGRIPPA TO HATE HIM, AND AFTERWARDS T
O USE ALL HIS ENDEAVOURS, BY WRITINGS AND OTHER MEANS, TO PROCURE THE EMPEROR TO
 REMOVE $MARSUS FROM HIS GOVERNMENT OF $SYRIA.
0870-EF/1702:025(033) AT HIS RETURN TO $JERUSALEM, HE MADE A THIRD CHANGE OF THE
 PRIESTHOOD, TAKING IT FROM $MATTHIAS, WHO HAD HELD IT ABOUT TWO YEARS, AND GIVI
NG IT TO $ELIONAEUS THE SON OF $CITHAEUS.
0871-EF/1702:026(062) ABOUT THE SAME TIME, $SAUL AND $BARNABAS HAVING PREACH'D A
 YEAR AT $ANTIOCH, WHERE WERE ABOVE 200000 SOULS, GAIN'D GROUND DAILY; AND THE B
ELIEVERS BECAME SO NUMEROUS AND CONSIDERABLE, THAT IN THIS CITY THEY FIRST OBTAI
N'D THE HONOURABLE NAME OF $CHRISTIANS, ABOUT TEN YEARS AFTER OUR SAVIOUR'S ASCE
NSION; WHICH NAME SOON SPREAD, AND IN A SHORT TIME PREVAIL'D ALL OVER THE WORLD.

0872-EF/1702:027(054) THEY WERE FORMERLY CALL'D $NAZARENES AND $GALILEANS BY THE
 $JEWS, BUT AMONG THEMSELVES, DISCIPLES, BELIEVERS, SAINTS, BRETHREN, AND THOSE
OF THE CHURCH; BUT FROM HENCE FORWARD THE NAME OF $NAZARENES OR $NAZARITES WAS F
IX'D UPON THOSE $JEWISH CONVERTS, WHO MIX'D THE LAW AND THE GOSPEL, AND COMPOUND
ED A RELIGION OUT OF $JUDAISM AND $CHRISTIANITY.
0873-EF/1702:028(066) SOME SAY THE NAME OF $CHRISTIANS WAS GIVEN TO THE BELIEVER
S BY $EVODIUS, NEWLY MADE BISHOP OF $ANTIOCH IN ST $PETER'S ROOM; AND OTHERS OBS
ERVE THAT THE WORD <KREMALISAI> US'D BY ST $LUKE IMPLIES THE THING TO HAVE BEEN
DONE BY SOME PUBLICK ACT, AND DECLARATION OF THE WHOLE CHURCH, SUCH BEING THE US
E OF THE WORD IN THE IMPERIAL EDICTS AND PROCLAMATIONS OF THOSE TIMES.
0874-EF/1702:029(071) IN THE SAME YEAR, CERTAIN PERSONS WHO AT THAT TIME HAD THE
 GIFT OF PROPHECY CAME FROM $JERUSALEM TO THIS CITY; ONE OF WHOM NAM'D $AGABAS,
BY THE SPIRIT OF $GOD FORETOLD THAT THERE SHOULD BE A GREAT FAMINE THROUGH MANY
PARTS OF THE WORLD, WHICH OCCASION'D THE $CHRISTIANS CAREFULLY TO PROVIDE AGAINS
T IT, IT HAPPENING IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR, AND FOURTH OF $CLAUDIUS, WHEN CONTRIBU
TIONS WERE MADE IN MANY PROVINCES.
0875-EF/1702:030(048) IN THE SAME YEAR THAT THE BELIEVERS WERE CALLED $CHRISTIAN
S, AND THIRD OF $CLAUDIUS, IT IS GENERALLY SUPPOS'D THAT A SECOND GOSPEL WAS PUB
LISH'D, NAMELY, THAT OF ST $MARK, ABOUT TWO YEARS AFTER ST $MATTHEW'S; THO' AS T
O THE TIME OF WRITING, BOTH ARE UNCERTAIN, ESPECIALLY THIS LATTER.
0876-EF/1702:031(036) ST $MARK WAS OF THE TRIBE OF $LEVI, AND ONE OF THE SEVENTY
; AND MOST PROBABLY WAS NOT THE SAME $MARK, WHO IS SO OFTEN NAM'D IN THE "ACTS O
F THE APOSTLES", AND ST $PAUL'S "EPISTLES".
0877-EF/1702:032(029) HE IS SUPPOS'D TO BE A KINSMAN OF ST $PETER'S; HOWEVER HE
WAS HIS CONSTANT ATTENDANT AND COMPANION IN HIS TRAVELS, SUPPLYING THE PLACE OF
AN AMANUENSIS AND INTERPRETER.
0878-EF/1702:033(038) HAVING WROTE HIS GOSPEL, WHICH WE ARE ASSUR'D WAS DONE AT
THE INTREATY OF THE CONVERTS AT $ROME, ST $PETER PERUS'D IT, RATIFIED IT WITH HI
S AUTHORITY, AND COMMANDED IT TO BE PUBLICKLY READ IN THE RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLIES.

0879-EF/1702:034(037) IT WAS FREQUENTLY STIL'D "ST $PETER'S GOSPEL", NOT SO MUCH
 UPON THE ACCOUNT OF ITS BEING DICTATED BY HIM, AS BECAUSE HE PRINCIPALLY COMPOS
'D IT OUT OF THOSE DISCOURSES WHICH ST $PETER USUALLY DELIVER'D TO THE PEOPLE.
0880-EF/1702:035(045) WHEREAS ST $MATTHEW BEGINS HIS GOSPEL AT, AND SOMEWHAT BEF
ORE, THE BIRTH OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR; ST $MARK BEGINS HIS AT THE FIRST PREACHIN
G OF $JOHN_BAPTIST; SO THAT THE WHOLE CONSISTS OF LESS THAN FOUR YEAR'S TRANSACT
IONS, ALL DELIVER'D IN A SUCCINCT AND REGULAR METHOD.
0881-EF/1702:036(058) AND THO' IN SEVERAL PLACES HE SEEMS TO EPITOMIZE ST $MATTH
EW, YET IN SOME PASSAGES HE IS MORE LARGE AND PARTICULAR; AND THAT HE MIGHT NOT
SHEW THE LEAST PARTIALITY, HE WOULD NOT SPARE HIS DEAR TUTOR AND MASTER $PETER,
IN HIS ACCOUNT OF HIS LAPSE AND DENIAL, WHICH HE REPRESENTS WITH GREATER AGGRAVA
TIONS THAN THE OTHER EVANGELISTS.
0882-EF/1702:037(047) AS TO THE LAST CHAPTER OF HIS GOSPEL, OR PART OF IT, SAID
TO BE WANTING IN MOST $GREEK COPIES, AND BY SOME REJECTED, AS PARTLY DISAGREEING
 WITH THE OTHER GOSPELS, ST $JEROM HAS SO WELL RECONCIL'D THEM, THAT HE MAKES TH
EM FAIRLY CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER.
0883-EF/1702:038(081) IT IS GENERALLY SAID THAT THIS GOSPEL WAS WRITTEN AT $ROME
, WHEN ST $PETER WAS THERE; WHICH IF TRUE, IT WAS WRITTEN MUCH LATER THAN THE TI
ME WE HAVE ASSIGN'D; FOR WHICH REASON, MANY BELIEVE IT WAS WRITTEN IN $LATIN; BU
T THIS IS CONTRARY TO ST $AUSTIN'S AND ST $JEROM'S OPINION, AND HAS NO PRETENCE
TO SUPPORT IT, BESIDES A SINGLE NOTE AT THE END OF THE $SYRIACK VERSION OF THIS
GOSPEL, WHICH NOTE IS OF VERY UNCERTAIN ANTIQUITY AND AUTHORITY.
0884-EF/1702:039(042) IN THE FOURTH YEAR OF $CLAUDIUS, THE FAMINE FORETOLD BY $A
GABAS GROWING SEVERE, THE $CHRISTIANS OF $ANTIOCH, MAKING A COLLECTION FOR THE F
RIENDS IN $JUDAEA, SENT IT BY THE HANDS OF $BARNABAS AND $SAUL, WHO WERE MADE ST
EWARDS OF THE CHURCH'S MONEY.
0885-EF/1702:040(058) BEFORE THEIR ARRIVAL, IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR, THE CH
URCH AT $JERUSALEM BEGAN TO SUFFER EXTREAMLY FROM THE ACTS OF KING $HEROD=AGRIPP
A, WHO BEING ZEALOUS OF THE $MOSAICK RITES, AND DESIROUS TO INGRATIATE HIMSELF W
ITH THE $JEWS, RAIS'D A SHARP PERSECUTION AGAINST THE $CHRISTIANS, WHO FOR NEAR
TEN YEARS HAD MET WITH NO GREAT DISTURBANCE IN $JERUSALEM.
0886-EF/1702:041(055) AND THAT HE MIGHT NOT FAIL IN HIS POPULAR DESIGNS, HE STRU
CK AT THE APOSTLES THEMSELVES, AND BEGAN WITH ONE OF THE SONS OF THUNDER, $JAMES
 THE SON OF $ZEBEDEE, WHOSE BRAVE AND ACTIVE CONTENDING FOR THE TRUTH HAD RENDER
'D HIM A FIT OBJECT FOR HIS TURN: THEREFORE WITHOUT DELAY HE CONDEMN'D $JAMES TO
 DEATH.
0887-EF/1702:042(056) AS HE WAS LED OUT TO THE PLACE OF MARTYRDOM, $CLEMENS_ALEX
ANDRINUS TELLS US, THAT THE OFFICER THAT GUARDED HIM, OR RATHER HIS ACCUSER HAVI
NG BEEN CONVINC'D BY THE EXTRAORDINARY COURAGE AND CONSTANCY HE SHEW'D AT HIS TR
IAL, REPENTED OF HIS FACT, FELL DOWN AT THIS APOSTLE'S FEET, AND HEARTILY DESIR'
D PARDON FOR WHAT HE HAD DONE.
0888-EF/1702:043(042) THE HOLY MARTYR, AFTER A LITTLE SURPRISE, AND A PAUSE, RAI
S'D HIM UP, EMBRAC'D AND KISS'D HIM, CRYING, "PEACE BE TO THEE, MY SON": UPON WH
ICH THE OTHER PUBLICKLY PROFESS'D HIMSELF A $CHRISTIAN, AND SO BOTH WERE BEHEADE
D AT THE SAME TIME.
0889-EF/1702:044(048) AND THUS FELL ST $JAMES, SURNAM'D THE $GREAT, THE APOSTOLI
CK PROTOMARTYR, THE FIRST OF THAT NUMBER THAT GAIN'D THE CROWN, CHEARFULLY TAKIN
G THAT CUP, WHICH HE HAD LONG SINCE TOLD HIS LORD HE WAS READY TO DRINK; HAVING
FITTED HIMSELF FOR IT BY HIS GREAT TEMPERANCE AND AUSTERITIES.
0890-EF/1702:045(027) THIS HAPPENED JUST BEFORE THE $PASSOVER, ELEVEN YEARS AFTE
R OUR SAVIOUR'S CRUCIFIXION, TEN AFTER ST $STEPHEN'S MARTYRDOM, AND ABOUT FOUR A
FTER THE FIRST CALL OF THE $GENTILES.
0891-EG/1702:001(158) I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK OF IT; AND I'LL GIVE MY OPINION
 VERY IMPARTIALLY: THE UNITIES OF ACTION AND TIME ARE BETTER OBSERV'D IN IT THAN
 IN MANY OF OUR LATE TRAGEDIES, AND WITH A LITTLE ALLOWANCE THE SAME MAY BE SAID
 OF THE UNITY OF PLACE: I OWN THE ACTION IS NOT ONE AND THE SAME THRO'OUT THE PL
AY, BUT IF THE UNDER=ACTION (THAT OF $MALESPINE'S) HAVE ANY CONNEXION WITH THE P
RINCIPAL; IF ONE SCENE BRINGS IN ANOTHER, THAT A THIRD, AND SO ON, AND EVERY SCE
NE BE WROUGHT UP CONCLUSIVE OF ONE GREAT ACTION AT LAST; THE UNITY MAY BE SAID T
O BE WELL ENOUGH PRESERV'D; AND THERE IS NOTHING VERY MATERIAL TO BE OBJECTED AG
AINST IT IN THIS: 'TIS TRUE $MALESPINE'S DESIGN IS OF A PARTICULAR NATURE FROM T
HE REST, BUT NOT QUITE INDEPENDENT OF IT; IT'S MADE SUBSERVIENT TO THE GREAT END
 OF THE PLAY, AND THAT'S ENOUGH TO RENDER THE ACTION ENTIRE.
0892-EG/1702:002(112) I GAVE YOU PART OF MY JUDGMENT UPON'T BEFORE, I SHALL ADD
THE REST NOW: THE PRINCE HAS TOO MUCH SOFTNESS IN HIS CHARACTER; HE QUITE FORGET
S THAT $ALMERICK WAS THE MURDERER OF HIS FATHER, AND AN USURPER STILL IN HIS WRO
NG; HE FURNISHES HIM WITH NO MANNER OF RESENTMENT FOR SO EXECRABLE A FACT, AND S
UCH CONTINU'D INJUSTICE; THERE'S NOT ONE LINE TO LET THE AUDIENCE AND THE READER
 KNOW THAT HE SO MUCH AS REMEMBERS HIS AND HIS FATHER'S WRONGS, THAT HE SO MUCH
AS EVER KNEW THAT $ALMERICK OBTAIN'D THE CROWN BY BLOOD AND USURPATION, AND THAT
 HE STILL KEPT IT IN THE HIGHEST PREJUDICE OF HIS OWN RIGHT.
0893-EG/1702:003(067) ANOTHER THING IS, THE KING SEEMS TO BE GUILTY OF SUCH ANOT
HER PIECE OF WEAKNESS, IN TRUSTING THE ARMY TO A PRINCE SO BELOV'D OF THE SOLDIE
RS, AND ONE, WHOM, HE KNEW IN HIS CONSCIENCE HE HAD SO NOTORIOUSLY WRONG'D; 'TWA
S A CONFIDENCE OF A DANGEROUS NATURE IN THE HANDS OF ONE WHO HAD SO MUCH REASON
TO REVENGE HIS FATHER'S DEATH; BUT NOT TO BE PROLIX.
0894-EG/1702:004(109) MY THIRD OBJECTION IS THE KING'S PASSION AT THAT UNSEASONA
BLE JUNCTURE: HE WHINES AND BLUBBERS FOR A MISTRESS, JUST IN THE HEAT AND HURRY
OF HIS AFFAIRS; THE RELATION OF THE BATTLE IS DEFERR'D THAT HE MAY CARRY ON HIS
INTRIGUE; AND ALL THE IMPORTANT DEPENDANCES OF THE STATE STAND STILL FOR THIS: '
TIS BEYOND THE CREDIBILITY OF SENSE OR REASON; 'TIS DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO THE DES
CRIPTION OF THAT WARLIKE SAVAGE PEOPLE, TO LANGUISH WITH SO IDLE A PASSION; BUT
AS HE MANAGES IT, 'TIS SO REPUGNANT TO THE MAJESTY OF A KING, TO THE INTERESTS O
F HIS GOVERNMENT, AND TO PROBABILITY, THAT NO ALLOWANCE CAN MAKE IT TOLERABLE.
0895-EG/1702:005(069) A FOURTH SCRUPLE REMAINS WITH ME, AND THAT IS, THE SUDDEN
SURPRISE THE KING'S IN WHEN $GONSALVO PUTS HIM IN MIND OF $CLARISMUNDA HIS LATE
WIFE; HE JUST THEN SEES IN $ARMIDA THE PERFECT RESEMBLANCE OF HER, AND NOW NO LO
NGER DOUBTS BUT SHE IS HER DAUGHTER: THIS IS A WRETCHED RESERVE TO HELP OUT $IRE
NE'S DISCOVERY: COU'D THE KING THAT SAW HER EVERY DAY, NOT SEE THIS BEFORE?
0896-EG/1702:006(030) LOVERS ARE CURIOUS, AND HAVE EYES THAT PIERCE INTO EVERY F
EATURE OF THEIR MISTRESSES; NO LINE ESCAPES THEIR OBSERVATION AND FLATTERY; AND
COU'D NOT HE FIND OUT THIS SIMILITUDE BEFORE?
0897-EG/1702:007(025) HE NEITHER COU'D FORGET HIS WIFE'S IMAGE, NOR LOVE HIS DAU
GHTER SO LONG WITHOUT VIEWING IN HER BEAUTY THE SAME LIKENESS WHICH HE AFTERWARD
S DISCOVERS.
0898-EG/1702:008(049) MY LAST OBJECTION IS, THAT THE DISCOVERY WHICH $ALBAZER MA
KES, DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE SUFFICIENT PROVOCATION FROM WHAT HE PRETENDS: HE BEGS
 $EUPHELIA OF HIS PATRON, AS THE REWARD OF HIS SERVICES; HIS PATRON PRETENDS TO
BE INGAGED TO ANOTHER, WHICH REFUSAL MAKES $ALBAZER FLY OUT INTO DISCONTENT.
0899-EG/1702:009(053) I SEE NO REASON THAT HE SHOU'D ASK HIS PATRON FOR WHAT WAS
 AS MUCH IN HIS OWN POWER AS IN HIS; WHY DID HE NOT TRY TO WIN HER BY ADDRESS, O
R IF SHE WERE COY, WHY MIGHT NOT HE RESOLVE TO SECURE HER IN THAT EXPECTED CONFU
SION WHICH WAS TO COME?
0900-EG/1702:010(011) MUST THIS TOY MAKE A BREACH BETWEEN THREE SUCH CONFEDERATE
D VILLAINS?
0901-EG/1702:011(014) VILLAINS THAT WERE TO SACRIFICE THEIR LIVES FOR THE HAZARD
 OF AN UNCERTAIN TREACHERY?
0902-EG/1702:012(054) SHE NEVER WAS IN $MALESPINE'S POWER; SHE MIGHT MORE PROBAB
LY HAVE BEEN IN $ALBAZER'S, BECAUSE $MALESPINE HAD OTHER BUSINESS TO MIND THAN C
APTIVATING OF WOMEN; AND $ALBAZER ALMOST IDLE, HAVING THE CITADEL IN HIS HANDS,
MIGHT WITHOUT ASKING ANY BODY'S CONSENT HAVE CARRY'D HER THERE, FOR HIS LUST OR
WHAT OTHER END HE PLEASED.
0903-EG/1702:013(042) THESE, WHICH I HAVE MENTION'D ARE ESCAPES, WITHOUT WHICH N
O POET CAN WRITE ANY THING OF THIS KIND; BUT TAKING IT ALTOGETHER, THE PLAY IS M
ORE UNIFORM THAN SOME OF OUR LATE TRAGEDIES; BUT FOR THE VERSIFICATION I HAVE NO
THING TO SAY.
0904-EZ/1702:001(083) SOME SCHOLARS, THO' BY THEIR CONSTANT CONVERSATION WITH AN
TIQUITY, THEY MAY KNOW PERFECTLY THE SENSE OF THE LEARNED DEAD, AND BE PERFECT M
ASTERS OF THE WISDOM, BE THOROUGHLY INFORMED OF THE STATE, AND NICELY SKILL'D IN
 THE POLICIES OF AGES LONG SINCE PASSED, YET BY THEIR RETIRED AND UNACTIVE LIFE,
 AND THEIR NEGLECT OF BUSINESS, THEY ARE SUCH STRANGERS TO THE DOMESTICK AFFAIRS
 AND MANNERS OF THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND TIMES, THAT THEY APPEAR LIKE THE GHOSTS OF
 OLD $ROMANS RAIS'D BY MAGICK.
0905-EZ/1702:002(051) TALK TO THEM OF THE $ASSYRIAN OR $PERSIAN MONARCHIES OF TH
E $GRECIAN OR $ROMAN COMMONWEALTHS, THEY ANSWER LIKE ORACLES; THEY ARE SUCH FINI
SHED STATESMEN THAT WE SHOULD SCARCE TAKE 'EM TO HAVE BEEN LESS THAN PRIVY=COUNC
ELLORS TO $SEMIRAMIS, TUTORS TO $CYRUS THE GREAT, AND OLD CRONIES OF $SOLON, $LI
CURGUS, AND $NUMA_POMPILIUS.
0906-EZ/1702:003(067) BUT INGAGE THEM IN A DISCOURSE THAT CONCERNS THE PRESENT T
IMES, AND THEIR NATIVE COUNTRY, AND THEY HARDLY SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OF IT; ASK TH
EM HOW MANY KINGS THERE HAVE BEEN IN $ENGLAND SINCE THE CONQUEST, OR IN WHAT REI
GN THE $REFORMATION HAPPENED, AND THEY'LL BE PUZZLED WITH THE QUESTION; THEY KNO
W ALL THE MINUTEST CIRCUMSTANCES OF $CATILINE'S CONSPIRACY, BUT ARE HARDLY ACQUA
INTED WITH THE LATE PLOT.
0907-EZ/1702:004(081) THEY'LL TELL YOU THE NAMES OF SUCH $ROMANS AS WERE CALLED
TO AN ACCOUNT BY THE SENATE FOR THEIR BRIBERIES, EXTORTIONS AND DEPREDATIONS, BU
T KNOW NOTHING OF THE FOUR IMPEACHED LORDS; THEY TALK OF THE ANCIENT WAY OF FIGH
TING, AND WARLIKE ENGINES, AS IF THEY HAD BEEN LIEUTENANT GENERALS UNDER $ALEXAN
DER, $SCIPIO, $ANNIBAL OR $JULIUS_CAESAR; BUT ARE PERFECTLY IGNORANT OF THE MODE
RN MILITARY DISCIPLINE, FORTIFICATION AND ARTILLERY; AND OF THE VERY NAMES OF $N
ASSAU, $CONDE, $TURENNE, $LUXEMBOURG, $EUGENE, $VILLEROY AND $CATINAT.
0908-EZ/1702:005(025) THEY ARE EXCELLENT GUIDES, AND CAN DIRECT YOU TO EVERY ALL
EY, AND TURNING IN OLD $ROME YET LOSE THEIR WAY HOME IN THEIR OWN PARISH.
0909-EZ/1702:006(040) THEY ARE MIGHTY ADMIRERS OF THE WIT AND ELOQUENCE OF THE A
NCIENTS; YET HAD THEY LIVED IN THE TIME OF $DEMOSTHENES, AND $CICERO, WOULD HAVE
 TREATED THEM WITH AS MUCH SUPERCILIOUS PRIDE, AND DISRESPECT AS THEY DO NOW THE
 MODERNS.
0910-EZ/1702:007(036) THEY ARE GREAT HUNTERS OF ANCIENT MANUSCRIPTS, AND HAVE IN
 GREAT VENERATION ANY THING THAT HAS ESCAPED THE TEETH OF TIME; AND IF AGE HAS O
BLITERATED THE CHARACTERS, 'TIS THE MORE VALUABLE FOR NOT BEING LEGIBLE.
0911-EZ/1702:008(044) THESE SUPERSTITIOUS BIGOTED IDOLATERS OF TIME PAST, ARE CH
ILDREN IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING ALL THEIR LIVES, FOR THEY HANG SO INCESSANTLY UPON
 THE LEADING=STRINGS OF AUTHORITY, THAT THEIR JUDGMENTS LIKE THE LIMBS OF SOME $
INDIAN PENITENTS, BECOME ALTOGETHER CRAMPT AND MOTIONLESS FOR WANT OF USE.
0912-EZ/1702:009(036) IN FINE, THEY THINK IT A DISPARAGEMENT OF THEIR LEARNING T
O TALK WHAT OTHER MEN UNDERSTAND, AND WILL SCARCE BELIEVE THAT TWO AND TWO MAKE
FOUR, UNDER A DEMONSTRATION FROM $EUCLID, OR A QUOTATION FROM $ARISTOTLE.
0913-EZ/1702:010(037) THE WORLD SHALL ALLOW A MAN TO BE A WISE MAN, A GOOD NATUR
ALIST, A GOOD MATHEMATICIAN, POLITICIAN OR POET, BUT NOT A SCHOLAR, OR LEARNED M
AN, UNLESS HE BE A PHILOLOGER AND UNDERSTANDS $GREEK AND $LATIN.
0914-EZ/1702:011(030) BUT FOR MY PART I TAKE THESE GENTLEMEN HAVE JUST INVERTED
THE USE OF THE TERM, AND GIVEN THAT TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF WORDS, WHICH BELONGS MOR
E PROPERLY TO THINGS.
0915-EZ/1702:012(090) I TAKE NATURE TO BE THE BOOK OF UNIVERSAL LEARNING, WHICH
HE THAT READS BEST IN ALL OR ANY OF ITS PARTS, IS THE GREATEST SCHOLAR, THE MOST
 LEARNED MAN; AND 'TIS AS RIDICULOUS FOR A MAN TO COUNT HIMSELF MORE LEARNED THA
N ANOTHER, IF HE HAVE NO GREATER EXTENT OF KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS, BECAUSE HE IS MO
RE VERS'D IN LANGUAGES, AS IT WOULD BE FOR AN OLD FELLOW TO TELL A YOUNG ONE, HI
S OWN EYES WERE BETTER THAN THE OTHER'S BECAUSE HE READS WITH SPECTACLES, THE OT
HER WITHOUT.
0916-FB/1702:001(033) WHAT I SHALL CHIEFLY SPEAK OF HERE, IS THE LARGEST PART OF
 THIS TREATISE, WHICH I CALL A "COLLECTION OF THE MOST NATURAL AND SUBLIME THOUG
HTS THAT ARE IN THE BEST $ENGLISH POETS".
0917-FB/1702:002(051) AND TO BE INGENUOUS IN THE DISCOVERY, THIS WAS THE PART OF
 IT THAT PRINCIPALLY INDUC'D ME TO UNDERTAKE THE WHOLE: THE TASK WAS INDEED LABO
RIOUS, BUT PLEASING; AND THE SOLE PRAISE I EXPECTED FROM IT, WAS, THAT I MADE A
JUDICIOUS CHOICE AND PROPER DISPOSITION OF THE PASSAGES I EXTRACTED.
0918-FB/1702:003(070) A MIXTURE OF SO MANY DIFFERENT SUBJECTS, AND SUCH A VARIET
Y OF THOUGHTS UPON THEM, MAY POSSIBLY NOT SATISFY THE READER SO WELL, AS A COMPO
SITION PERFECT IN ITS KIND ON ONE INTIRE SUBJECT; BUT CERTAINLY IT WILL DIVERT A
ND AMUSE HIM BETTER; FOR HERE IS NO THREAD OF STORY, NOR CONNEXION OF ONE PART W
ITH ANOTHER, TO KEEP HIS MIND INTENT, AND CONSTRAIN HIM TO ANY LENGTH OF READING
.
0919-FB/1702:004(029) I DETAIN HIM THEREFORE ONLY TO ACQUAINT HIM, WHY IT IS MAD
E A PART OF THIS BOOK, AND HOW SERVICEABLE IT MAY BE TO THE MAIN DESIGN OF IT.
0920-FB/1702:005(045) HAVING DRAWN UP RULES FOR MAKING VERSES, AND A DICTIONARY
OF RHYMES, WHICH ARE THE MECHANICK TOOLS OF A POET; I CAME IN THE NEXT PLACE TO
CONSIDER, WHAT OTHER HUMAN AID COULD BE OFFER'D HIM; A GENIUS AND JUDGMENT NOT B
EING MINE TO GIVE.
0921-FB/1702:006(053) NOW I IMAGIN'D THAT A MAN MIGHT HAVE BOTH THESE, AND YET S
OMETIMES, FOR THE SAKE OF A SYLLABLE OR TWO MORE OR LESS, TO GIVE A VERSE ITS TR
UE MEASURE, BE AT A STAND FOR EPITHETS AND SYNONYMES, WITH WHICH I HAVE SEEN BOO
KS OF THIS NATURE IN SEVERAL LANGUAGES PLENTIFULLY FURNISH'D.
0922-FB/1702:007(031) NOW, THO' I HAVE DIFFER'D FROM THEM IN METHOD, YET I AM OF
 OPINION THIS COLLECTION MAY SERVE TO THE SAME END, WITH EQUAL PROFIT AND GREATE
R PLEASURE TO THE READER.
0923-FB/1702:008(030) FOR, WHAT ARE EPITHETS, BUT ADJECTIVES THAT DENOTE AND EXP
RESS THE QUALITIES OF THE SUBSTANTIVES TO WHICH THEY ARE JOIN'D, AS PURPLE, ROSI
E, SMILING, DEWY, MORNING: DIM, GLOOMY, SILENT, NIGHT.
0924-FB/1702:009(016) WHAT SYNONYMES, BUT WORDS OF A LIKE SIGNIFICATION, AS FEAR
, DREAD, TERROUR, CONSTERNATION, AFFRIGHT, DISMAY, ETC.
0925-FB/1702:010(016) ARE THEY NOT THEN NATURALLY TO BE SOUGHT FOR IN THE DESCRI
PTIONS OF PERSONS AND THINGS?
0926-FB/1702:011(030) AND CAN WE NOT BETTER JUDGE BY A PIECE OF PAINTING, HOW BE
AUTIFULLY COLOURS MAY BE DISPOS'D; THAN BY SEEING THE SAME SEVERAL COLOURS SCATT
ER'D WITHOUT DESIGN ON A TABLE?
0927-FB/1702:012(048) WHEN YOU ARE AT A LOSS THEREFORE FOR PROPER EPITHETS OR SY
NONYMES, LOOK IN THIS ALPHABETICAL COLLECTION FOR ANY WORD UNDER WHICH THE SUBJE
CT OF YOUR THOUGHT MAY MOST PROBABLY BE RANG'D; AND YOU WILL FIND WHAT HAVE BEEN
 IMPLOY'D BY OUR BEST WRITERS, AND IN WHAT MANNER.
0928-FB/1702:013(051) IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AS EASIE A TASK FOR ME AS IT HAS BEEN T
O OTHERS BEFORE ME, TO HAVE THREADED TEDIOUS BEAD=ROLLS OF SYNONYMES AND EPITHET
S TOGETHER, AND PUT THEM BY THEMSELVES: BUT WHEN THEY STAND ALONE, THEY APPEAR B
ALD, INSIPID, UNCOUTH, AND OFFENSIVE BOTH TO THE EYE AND EAR.
0929-FB/1702:014(017) IN THAT DISPOSITION THEY MAY INDEED HELP THE MEMORY, BUT C
ANNOT DIRECT THE JUDGMENT IN THE CHOICE.
0930-FB/1702:015(063) BUT BESIDES, TO CONFESS A SECRET, I AM VERY UNWILLING IT S
HOULD BE LAID TO MY CHARGE, THAT I HAVE FURNISH'D TOOLS, AND GIVEN A TEMPTATION
OF VERSIFYING, TO SUCH AS IN SPITE OF ART AND NATURE UNDERTAKE TO BE POETS; AND
WHO MISTAKE THEIR FONDNESS TO RHYME, OR NECESSITY OF WRITING, FOR A TRUE GENIUS
OF POETRY, AND LAWFUL CALL FROM $APOLLO.
0931-FB/1702:016(059) SUCH DEBASERS OF RHYME AND DABBLERS IN POETRY WOULD DO WEL
L TO CONSIDER, THAT A MAN WOULD JUSTLY DESERVE A HIGHER ESTEEM IN THE WORLD BY B
EING A GOOD MASON OR SHOE=MAKER, OR BY EXCELLING IN ANY OTHER ART THAT HIS TALEN
T INCLINES HIM TO, AND THAT IS USEFUL TO MANKIND, THAN BY BEING AN INDIFFERENT O
R SECOND=RATE POET.
0932-FB/1702:017(026) I HAVE INSERTED NOT ONLY SIMILES, ALLUSIONS, CHARACTERS, A
ND DESCRIPTIONS; BUT ALSO THE MOST NATURAL AND SUBLIME THOUGHTS OF OUR MODERN PO
ETS ON ALL SUBJECTS WHATEVER.
0933-FB/1702:018(087) I SAY, OF OUR MODERN; FOR THO' SOME OF THE ANTIENT, AS $CH
AUCER, $SPENCER, AND OTHERS, HAVE NOT BEEN EXCELL'D, PERHAPS NOT EQUALL'D, BY AN
Y THAT HAVE SUCCEEDED THEM, EITHER IN JUSTNESS OF DESCRIPTION, OR IN PROPRIETY A
ND GREATNESS OF THOUGHT; YET THEIR LANGUAGE IS NOW BECOME SO ANTIQUATED AND OBSO
LETE, THAT MOST READERS OF OUR AGE HAVE NO EAR FOR THEM: AND THIS IS THE REASON
THAT THE GOOD $SHAKESPEAR HIMSELF IS NOT SO FREQUENTLY CITED IN THIS COLLECTION,
 AS HE WOULD OTHERWISE DESERVE TO BE.
0934-FR/1702:001(024) THE MILLION LOTTERY BEING A LOAN OF A DIFFERENT KIND, IS N
OT SO NATURALLY SUSCEPTIBLE OF THIS METHOD OF TAXING, AND REDUCTION OF INTEREST.

0935-FR/1702:002(075) FOR IN THIS, THE PRINCIPAL BEING SUNK UPON CERTAIN CONSIDE
RATIONS, IT IS NO LONGER THE SUBJECT OF A TAX, BUT THE PRODUCT OF THE FUND UPON
WHICH THIS MILLION WAS LENT, AND WHICH IS THE PRAEMIUM FOR WHICH THE LENDERS CON
SENTED TO SINK THE PRINCIPAL, IS LIABLE TO A TAX WHICH MAY PERHAPS MOST PROPERLY
 BE LAID BY WAY OF POUND RATE, AT A PAR WITH LAND, THAT IS, AT FOUR SHILLINGS IN
 THE POUND.
0936-FR/1702:003(056) AT THIS RATE, THE LOTTERY FOR A HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND
 POUNDS A YEAR, WOU'D PAY BACK TWENTY EIGHT THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUM, WHICH WOU
'D REDUCE THOSE PROFITS TO A PAR WITH LEASE=HOLD ESTATES OF EQUAL DURATION, AND
YEARLY VALUE ABOVE THE RESERV'D RENT, WITH THEM, WHICH IS AS FAIR AS ANY REASONA
BLE PROPRIETOR CAN DESIRE.
0937-FR/1702:004(024) BY THESE MEANS, OUT OF THE INTEREST OF LESS THAN TWELVE MI
LLIONS, SOME HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS A YEAR WILL BE SAV'D TO THE GOVERNMENT.
0938-FR/1702:005(072) I HAVE ALREADY SHEWN THE NECESSITY AND USEFULNESS OF SOME
SUCH TAX AS THIS, AND HAVE LITTLE MORE TO DO NOW, THAN TO DEFEND THE JUSTICE OF
IT, AND TO CLEAR IT FROM THE IMPUTATION OF SOME ILL CONSEQUENCES WHICH MANY PRET
END WILL FOLLOW FROM IT; AND TO SHEW DIVERS GOOD ONES, WHICH BESIDES THE SAVING
SO MUCH MONEY TO THE PUBLICK, IN THIS TIME OF EXTREMITY, WILL NATURALLY FLOW FRO
M IT.
0939-FR/1702:006(042) IT IS OBJECTED BY MANY, THAT SUCH A TAX NEITHER CAN, NOR O
UGHT IN JUSTICE TO BE LAID, BECAUSE EXEMPTION FROM TAXES, WAS ONE OF THE CONDITI
ONS BY WHICH MEN WERE INVITED TO LEND THEIR MONEY ON THE SECURITY OF THOSE FUNDS
.
0940-FR/1702:007(068) TO THIS IT MAY FAIRLY BE ANSWER'D, THAT THO ALL JUST AND E
QUAL CONTRACTS OUGHT TO BE SACRED AND INVIOLABLE, YET THAT SOME ARE OF SUCH NATU
RE AS TO BE VOID IN THEMSELVES, NOT ONLY BECAUSE FORBIDDEN BY SOME WRITTEN LAWS,
 BUT BECAUSE THEY ARE REPUGNANT TO THE LAWS OF EQUITY AND RIGHT REASON, AND AS S
UCH CAN'T BE JUSTIFIED BY ANY LAW WHATSOEVER MADE IN THEIR FAVOUR.
0941-FR/1702:008(040) OF THIS KIND ARE ALL CONDITIONS OF EXTORTION AND OPPRESSIO
N, WHICH BEING IN THEIR OWN NATURE UNLAWFUL AT LEAST <EX PARTE ALTERA>, AS BREAK
ING THE ETERNAL RULES OF EQUITY AND JUSTICE, CANNOT BY ANY FORCE OF LAW BE MADE
OBLIGATORY.
0942-FR/1702:009(067) FOR THIS REASON, IN ALL WELL CONSTITUTED GOVERNMENTS THERE
 ARE COURTS, AND JUDGES APPOINTED TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ALL CASES OF CONTRACT WH
EREIN DISPUTES ARISE, AND THE FORM AND LETTER OF THE LAW MAY BE AND OFTEN IS MAD
E USE OF TO DEFEAT THE TRUE END AND MEANING OF ALL GOOD LAWS, WHICH ARE TO PROTE
CT AND DEFEND MEN FROM OPPRESSION, VIOLENCE, AND INJURY FROM EACH OTHER.
0943-FR/1702:010(046) OF THIS SORT IS THE COURT OF CHANCERY AMONG US, WHERE BOND
S, AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS, HOW SEEMINGLY STRONG SOEVER IN LAW, ARE DAILY CANCELL'
D AND MADE NULL, AS WELL UPON THE SCORE OF OPPRESSIVE UNJUST CONDITIONS, AS OF F
ORCE OR FRAUD IN THE OBTAINING OF 'EM.
0944-FR/1702:011(063) IF THEN THERE WAS ANY THING VIOLENT IN THE MANNER OF OBTAI
NING THESE CONTRACTS, OR ANY THING OPPRESSIVE IN THE CONDITIONS OF 'EM, THE NATI
ON IS FAIRLY LOOS'D FROM THE OBLIGATION, AT LEAST SO FAR AS TO BE DISENGAG'D FRO
M WHATEVER IS RUINOUS AND OPPRESSIVE IN 'EM, AND AT PERFECT LIBERTY TO DISCHARGE
 AND SATISFY THOSE DEBTS, BY ANY EQUAL AND HONEST METHOD.
0945-FR/1702:012(047) IT WOU'D TO MOST MEN SEEM AN EXTRAVAGANT PARADOX TO SAY TH
AT THERE WAS ANY THING LIKE VIOLENCE IN THE MANNER OF OBTAINING THESE CONTRACTS;
 AND YET PERHAPS IT WAS NOT SO FAR FROM IT, WHEN RIGHTLY CONSIDER'D, AS ONE WOU'
D AT FIRST BE APT TO IMAGINE.
0946-FR/1702:013(037) NECESSITY IS A KIND OF VIOLENCE AS COGENT AS ANY WHATSOEVE
R, AND HE THAT LAYS HOLD OF IT IN ORDER TO OBTAIN UNREASONABLE CONDITIONS FROM A
NOTHER, MAY IN SOME SENSE BE SAID TO OFFER VIOLENCE TO HIM.
0947-FR/1702:014(053) IF I FALL INTO THE WATER, WHERE I MUST INFALLIBLY PERISH U
NLESS I BE HELPT OUT, WHICH THE STANDERS=BY REFUSE TO DO, BUT UNDER SUCH CONDITI
ONS AS MUST RUIN MY FAMILY AND FORTUNE, THESE CONDITIONS MAY JUSTLY BE SAID TO B
E FOUNDED ON VIOLENCE, THO NONE OF THE STANDERS BY THREW ME IN.
0948-FR/1702:015(010) THIS WAS IN SOME MEASURE THE CASE OF THE NATION.
0949-FR/1702:016(064) THO THE PERSONS THAT LENT THE MONEY TO THE GOVERNMENT ON T
HESE FUNDS, WERE NOT PERHAPS THE MEN THAT BROUGHT IT IMMEDIATELY UNDER NECESSITY
, YET WHEN THEY SAW IT SO, THEY FORBORE TO ASSIST IT WITH THEIR PURSES, TILL IT
WAS OBLIG'D TO OFFER SUCH UNREASONABLE CONDITIONS AS MAY AT LENGTH PROVE RUINOUS
 TO THE NATION, IF IT BE INDISPENSABLY TYED UP TO 'EM.
0950-FR/1702:017(030) THE PLEA THEREFORE OF <VOLENTI NON SIT INJURIA> WILL STAND
 'EM IN NO STEAD, UNLESS THAT CONSENT OR OFFER MAY BE ESTEEM'D FREE AND VOLUNTAR
Y WHICH IS EXTORTED BY NECESSITY.
0951-FR/1702:018(052) BUT, WHETHER VIOLENCE CONCUR IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THESE
 FUNDS, OR NOT, IT IS CERTAIN THAT THEY ARE GRIEVOUS AND OPPRESSIVE, AND THEREFO
RE, OUGHT TO BE, THO NOT LAID ASIDE TILL THE MORTGAGE UPON 'EM BE PAID OFF, YET
SO REGULATED AND REFORM'D AS TO MAKE 'EM CONSISTENT WITH THE PUBLICK WELFARE.
0952-FR/1702:019(075) FOR IF MONEY LENT ON THESE FUNDS SHALL CONTINUE TO YIELD 8
 PER CENT FREE FROM ALL TAXES, WHICH MAKES IT NINE AND A QUARTER, WHILE MONEY ON
 GOOD PRIVATE SECURITY PRODUCES BUT THREE AND A HALF, TAXES PAID, THEY WILL NECE
SSARILY DRAW IN PROCESS OF TIME ALL THE MONEY IN THE NATION INTO 'EM, AND CONSEQ
UENTLY TRADE MUST CEASE, AND LAND, THE REAL SECURITY REMAINING, MUST OF COURSE B
ECOME A PREY TO THE USURERS.
0953-FR/1702:020(028) BUT THE DISPROPORTION BETWEEN LENDING ON THE SECURITY OF G
OVERNMENT AND PRIVATE SECURITY IS YET MUCH GREATER: FOR MOST OF THE MONEY THUS L
ENT IS PAID FOR TWICE.
0954-FR/1702:021(053) FOR WHILE THE MORTGAGEE PAYS ONE AND A HALF PER CENT FOR H
IS SECURITY, THE MORTGAGER PAYS FOUR SHILLINGS IN THE POUND FOR THE SAME LAND UP
ON WHICH IT IS SECUR'D, AND THE MONEY IT SELF, WHICH IS PERHAPS DISPOS'D OF TO P
AY DEBTS OR PORTIONS, ETC IS AGAIN TAX'D IN OTHER HANDS.
0955-FR/1702:022(045) WHILE THESE ADVANTAGES CONTINUE, IT IS ABSURD TO THINK THA
T MONEY WILL BE THOUGHT WELL PLAC'D ANY WHERE BUT ON THESE AND THE LIKE FUNDS, B
Y WHICH THE NATION MUST OF NECESSITY IN TIME BE BEGGAR'D, UNLESS AN EXPEDIENT MA
Y BE FOUND TO RELIEVE IT.
0956-FR/1702:023(053) THE FAVOURERS OF USURY OBJECT, THAT THESE BEING CONDITIONS
 VOLUNTARILY OFFER'D, THEY CANNOT WITH ANY JUSTICE BE ALTER'D, BECAUSE IT WOULD
BE A FRAUD UPON THE LENDERS, WHO BROUGHT IN THEIR MONEY UPON OTHER TERMS, AND TH
EREFORE OUGHT TO HAVE THEIR PRINCIPAL AGAIN, OR THEIR INTEREST CONTINU'D TO 'EM
ON THE SAME FOOT.
0957-FR/1702:024(104) BUT IF THE NATION MAY NOT BE RELIEV'D AGAINST CONTRACTS OF
 EXTORTION AND OPPRESSION, THE PUBLICK WOU'D BE LESS SECURE, AND IN WORSE CONDIT
ION THAN ANY PRIVATE MEMBER OF IT, TO WHOM THE PRACTICE OF ALL NATIONS ALLOWS RE
LIEF IN SUCH SORT OF BARGAINS; AND THIS ABSURDITY WOU'D THENCE FOLLOW, THAT THO
NO MAN MIGHT OPPRESS HIS NEIGHBOUR OR FELLOW SUBJECT SEVERALLY, AND IN THEIR SEP
ARATE CAPACITIES, YET ANY ONE MIGHT OPPRESS 'EM ALL JOINTLY, AND SECURELY SPOIL
THE WHOLE, THO THEY MIGHT NOT ANY PART OF IT; A POSITION SO GROSS, THAT WE CAN S
CARCE SUPPOSE ANY ONE STUPID ENOUGH TO ADMIT IT.
0958-FR/1702:025(091) FOR IF EVERY PRIVATE CASE, WHEREBY ONE ONLY, OR BUT A FEW
ARE LIKE TO BE SUFFERERS, OUGHT TO HAVE SUCH REGARD PAID TO IT, MUCH MORE OUGHT
THE PUBLICK TO FIND REDRESS, WHEN ALL RUN A HAZARD OF RUIN FOR THE PRIVATE AND U
NREASONABLE ADVANTAGE OF A FEW: FOR IT CANNOT BE SUPPOS'D, THAT THE PUBLICK CAN
DENY TO THE BODY COLLECTIVE THAT JUSTICE WHICH IT OWNS TO BE THE RIGHT OF EVERY
INDIVIDUAL, OR THAT THEIR JOINING TOGETHER SHOU'D WEAKEN THAT CLAIM THAT EVERY O
NE SEPARATELY AND DISTINCTLY HAD.
0959-FR/1702:026(032) ANOTHER OBJECTION USUALLY BROUGHT IS, THAT IF THE CONDITIO
NS ON WHICH THE MONEY WAS FIRST LENT BE ALTER'D, PUBLICK CREDIT WILL BE DESTROY'
D, AND PARLIAMENTARY SECURITY BROUGHT INTO DISESTEEM FOR THE FUTURE.
0960-FR/1702:027(038) I GRANT, THAT IF BY DESTROYING THE PUBLICK CREDIT, THEY ME
AN THAT MEN WILL NOT BE SO FOND OF RUNNING THEIR MONEY INTO FUNDS AND PUBLICK ST
OCKS AS OF LATE THEY HAVE BEEN, THEY ARE IN THE RIGHT.
0961-FR/1702:028(030) BUT IF THAT BE WHAT THEY CALL PUBLICK CREDIT, PUBLICK CRED
IT, AS THEY CALL IT, OUGHT TO BE DESTROY'D, OR IT WILL DEVOUR THE WEALTH AND SEC
URITY OF THE PUBLICK.
0962-FR/1702:029(033) FOR WHILE THE NATION IS ABLE TO FIND OUT FUNDS, THERE WILL
 BE NO DIFFICULTY OF GETTING INTO DEBT, THO PERHAPS WE MAY FIND IT ALMOST IMPOSS
IBLE TO GET OUT OF IT AGAIN.
0963-FR/1702:030(051) THE USURERS PERHAPS, WHO HAVE BEEN USED TO TURN AND WIND T
HEIR MONEY IN STOCK=JOBBING, OR TO LEND IT ON FUNDS AT 8, 10, 12 OR 14 PER CENT
WITH AN EXTRAVAGANT PRAEMIUM, MAY NOT BE SO READY WHEN THE INTEREST OF MONEY SHA
LL BE REDUC'D, AS THEY HAVE BEEN HERETOFORE.
0964-FR/1702:031(063) BUT WHEN THE PUBLICK CREDIT SHALL BE RAIS'D, AND THE INTER
EST BROUGHT DOWN TO A PAR WITH PRIVATE, THE PUBLICK WILL HAVE SO MUCH THE ADVANT
AGE OVER PRIVATE SECURITY, IN POINT OF PREVENTION OF FRAUDS, PRIOR MORTGAGES, DI
SPUTABLE OR FALSE TITLES, THAT ITS SECURITY ON CERTAIN FUNDS WILL BE STILL VERY
MUCH PREFERABLE TO THE OTHER ON EQUAL TERMS OF PROFIT AND ADVANTAGE.
0965-FR/1702:032(019) AND SO FAR WILL THIS METHOD BE FROM IMPAIRING THE PUBLICK
CREDIT, THAT IT WILL RAISE IT VERY MUCH.
0966-FR/1702:033(082) FOR WHEN EXTRAVAGANT PRAEMIUMS AND HIGH INTEREST, WHICH HA
VE BEEN THE MAIN OCCASION OF THE DEFICIENCIES OF OUR FUNDS, SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY,
 IT IS TO BE HOP'D THEY WILL ANSWER BETTER, AND MORE PUNCTUAL PAYMENTS WILL BE M
ADE OUT OF 'EM, WHICH WILL BE AN INFALLIBLE MEANS TO RAISE THEIR CREDIT AND REPU
TATION, WHICH DEPENDS NOT ON HIGH INTEREST, BUT SURE AND GOOD PAYMENT AT THE STA
TED TIMES, ESPECIALLY WHEN NO HIGHER INTEREST IS SUFFER'D TO BE GIVEN ANY WHERE
ELSE.
0967-FR/1702:034(072) THIS MAY HAVE WHAT SOME INTERESTED MEN WOU'D CALL AN ILL E
FFECT UPON STOCK, NOTES, BILLS, TALLIES, ETC WHICH BEING REDUC'D AND PAYING, AS
WELL AS BATING INTEREST, MUST NECESSARILY SINK IN THEIR PRICE, AND CONSEQUENTLY
PUT AN END TO THE TRADE OF STOCK=JOBBING, WHICH HAS BEEN SO LONG CARRIED ON, TO
THE RUIN OF ABUNDANCE OF INDUSTRIOUS USEFUL TRADING PEOPLE, WITHOUT ONE PENNY PR
OFIT OR INCREASE OF WEALTH TO THE PUBLICK.
0968-FR/1702:035(047) BUT IT CANNOT AFFECT THE CREDIT OF THE PUBLICK, IF THE PUB
LICK DOES BUT TAKE CARE TO MAKE GOOD AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENTS BOTH OF PRINCIPAL AND
 INTEREST, WHICH OUGHT TO BE READY TO BE PAID ONCE A YEAR AT LEAST, WITHOUT TROU
BLE OR CHARGE TO THE LENDER.
0969-FR/1702:036(033) THE EASE AND CERTAINTY OF SUCH PAYMENTS WOU'D BE SUFFICIEN
T TO INVITE MONEY'D MEN TO DEAL WITH THE GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY IF ALL PUBLICK O
PPORTUNITIES OF MAKING GREATER ADVANTAGES OF MONEY WERE TAKEN AWAY.
0970-FR/1702:037(042) AND BY THESE MEANS, AS THE CHARGES OF THE PUBLICK WOU'D HA
VE BEEN EXCEEDINGLY LESSEN'D, SO WILL ITS DEMANDS OF MONEY ALSO, BY WHICH LAND W
OU'D BE VERY MUCH EAS'D, AND A GREAT SURPLUSAGE OF MONEY LEFT TO BE EMPLOY'D IN
TRADE.
0971-FZ/1702:001(018) WE RECEIVED YOUR LETTER, DATED $DECEMBER 21, 1701, AND REA
D IT YESTERDAY IN A FULL ASSEMBLY AT $WILS.
0972-FZ/1702:002(048) THE WHOLE COMPANY LIK'D IT EXCEEDINGLY, AND RETURN YOU THE
IR THANKS FOR THE AMPLE AND SATISFACTORY ACCOUNT YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM OF $PLUTO'S
 DOMINIONS, FROM WHICH WE HAVE HAD LITTLE OR NO NEWS, HOWEVER IT HAS HAPPEN'D, S
INCE THE FAMOUS DON $QUEVEDO HAD THE CURIOSITY TO TRAVEL THITHER.
0973-FZ/1702:003(052) WHEREAS YOU DESIRE US BY WAY OF EXCHANGE TO FURNISH YOU WI
TH SOME OF THE MOST MEMORABLE TRANSACTIONS THAT HAVE LATELY FALLEN OUT IN THIS P
ART OF THE GLOBE, WE WILLINGLY COMPLY WITH YOUR PROPOSAL; AND ARE PROUD OF ANY O
PPORTUNITY TO SHEW MR $HAINES, HOW MUCH WE RESPECT AND VALUE HIM.
0974-FZ/1702:004(060) IMPRIMIS, $WILL'S COFFEE=HOUSE, MR $HAINES, IS MUCH IN THE
 SAME CONDITION AS WHEN YOU LEFT IT, AND AS A WORTHY GENTLEMAN HAS LATELY DISTRI
BUTED THEM INTO THEIR PROPER CLASSES, WE HAVE FOUR SORTS OF PERSONS THAT RESORT
HITHER: FIRST, SUCH AS ARE BEAUX AND NO WITS, AND THESE ARE EASY TO BE KNOWN BY
THEIR FULL PERIWIGS AND EMPTY SKULLS.
0975-FZ/1702:005(031) SECONDLY, SUCH AS ARE WITS AND NO BEAUX, AND THESE, NOT TO
 TALK OF THEIR OUTSIDES, ARE DISTINGUISHED BY CENSURING THE ILL TASTE OF THE AGE
, AND RAILING AT ONE ANOTHER.
0976-FZ/1702:006(041) THIRDLY, SUCH AS ARE NEITHER WITS NOR BEAUX, I MEAN, YOUR
GRAVE PLODDING POLITICIANS THAT COME TO US EVERY NIGHT PIPING HOT FROM THE $PARL
IAMENT HOUSE, AND FINISH TREATIES THAT WERE NEVER THOUGHT OF, AND END WARS BEFOR
E THEY ARE BEGUN.
0977-FZ/1702:007(021) AND FOURTHLY, SUCH AS ARE BOTH WITS AND BEAUX, TO WHOSE PE
RSONS AS WELL AS MERITS YOU CAN BE NO STRANGER.
0978-FZ/1702:008(011) IN THE NEXT PLACE, THE PLAY=HOUSE STANDS EXACTLY WHERE IT
DID.
0979-FZ/1702:009(032) MR $RICH FINDS SOME TROUBLE IN MANAGING HIS MUTINOUS SUBJE
CTS, BUT 'TIS NO MORE THAN WHAT PRINCES MUST EXPECT TO FIND IN A MIXT MONARCHY,
AS WE TAKE THE PLAY=HOUSE TO BE.
0980-FZ/1702:010(015) THE ACTORS JOG ON AFTER THE OLD MERRY RATE, AND THE WOMEN
DRINK AND INTRIGUE.
0981-FZ/1702:011(039) MR $CLINCH OF $BARNET, WITH HIS PACK OF DOGS AND ORGAN, CO
MES NOW AND THEN TO THEIR RELIEF; AND YOUR FRIEND MR $JEVON WOU'D HANG HIMSELF T
O SEE HOW MUCH THE FAMOUS MR $HARVEY EXCEEDS HIM IN THE LADDER=DANCE.
0982-FZ/1702:012(025) WE HAVE HAD AN INUNDATION OF PLAYS LATELY, AND ONE OF THEM
 BY A GREAT MIRACLE MADE A SHIFT TO HOLD OUT A FULL FORTNIGHT.
0983-FZ/1702:013(050) THE GENERALITY EITHER ARE TROUBLED WITH CONVULSION FITS, A
ND DIE THE FIRST DAY OF THE REPRESENTATION, OR BY MERE DINT OF ACTING HOLD OUT T
O THE THIRD, WHICH IS LIKE A CONSUMPTIVE MAN'S LIVING BY CORDIALS, OR ELSE DIE A
 VIOLENT DEATH, AND ARE INTERR'D WITH THE SOLEMNITY OF CAT=CALLS.
0984-FZ/1702:014(046) A MERRY VIRTUOSO, WHO MAKES ONE OF THE CONGREGATION <DE PR
OPAGANDO INGENIO>, DESIGNS TO PUBLISH A WEEKLY BILL FOR THE USE OF THE TWO THEAT
RES, IN IMITATION OF THAT PUBLISH'D BY THE PARISH CLERKS, AND FAITHFULLY TO SET
DOWN WHAT DISTEMPER EVERY NEW PLAY DIES OF.
0985-FZ/1702:015(025) IF THE AUTHOR OF A PLAY STRAINS HARD FOR WIT, AND IT DRIBB
LES DROP BY DROP FROM HIM, HE SAYS 'TIS TROUBLED WITH A STRANGURY.
0986-FZ/1702:016(080) IF 'TIS VICIOUS IN THE DESIGN AND PERFORMANCE, AND DULL TH
ROUGHOUT, HE INTENDS TO GIVE OUT IN HIS BILL THAT IT DY'D BY A KNOCK IN THE CRAD
LE; IF IT MISCARRIES FOR WANT OF FINE SCENES AND DUE ACTING, WHY THEN, HE SAYS,
'TIS STARV'D AT NURSE; IF IT EXPIRES THE FIRST OR SECOND DAY, HE RECKONS IT AMON
G THE ABORTIVES: AND LASTLY, IF 'TIS DAMN'D FOR THE FEEBLENESS OF ITS SATIRE, HE
 SAYS IT DIES IN BREEDING OF TEETH.
0987-FZ/1702:017(053) AS OUR WIT, GENERALLY SPEAKING, IS DEBAUCH'D, SO OUR WINE,
 THE PARENT OF IT IS SOPHISTICATED ALL OVER THE TOWN; AND AS WE NEVER HAD MORE P
LAYS IN THE TWO HOUSES, AND MORE WINE IN THE CITY THAN AT PRESENT: SO WE WERE NE
VER ENCUMBER'D WITH WORSE OF THE TWO SORTS THAN NOW.
0988-FZ/1702:018(026) AS FOR THE LATTER, WE SELL THAT FOR CLARET WHICH HAS NOT A
 DROP OF THE JUICE OF THE GRAPE IN IT, BUT IS DOWN=RIGHT CIDER.
0989-FZ/1702:019(017) THE CORRUPTION DOES NOT STOP SHORT HERE, BUT OUR CIDER INS
TEAD OF APPLES IS MADE OF TURNIPS.
0990-FZ/1702:020(007) WHO KNOWS WHERE THE CHEAT WILL CONCLUDE?
0991-FZ/1702:021(009) PERHAPS THE NEXT GENERATION WILL DEBAUCH OUR VERY TURNIPS.

0992-FZ/1702:022(072) 'TIS WELL, MR $HAINES, YOU DIED WHEN YOU DID; FOR THAT UNH
APPY PLACE, WHERE YOU HAVE SO OFTEN EXERTED YOUR TALENT, I MEAN $SMITHFIELD, HAS
 FALLEN UNDER THE CITY MAGISTRATE'S DISPLEASURE; SO THAT NOW ST $GEORGE AND THE
DRAGON, THE $TROJAN HORSE, AND $BATEMAN'S GHOST, THE PRODIGAL SON, AND $JEPHTHA'
S DAUGHTER; IN SHORT, ALL THE DROLLS OF GLORIOUS MEMORY, ARE ROUTED, DEFEATED AN
D SENT TO GRASS, WITHOUT ANY HOPES OF A REPRIEVE.
0993-FZ/1702:023(044) NEXT TO PLAYS, WE HAVE BEEN OVER=RUN, IN THESE TIMES OF PU
BLICK FERMENT AND DISTRACTION, WITH CERTAIN WICKED THINGS CALLED PAMPHLETS; AND
SOME SCRIBLERS THAT SHALL BE NAMELESS, HAVE WRIT PRO AND CON UPON THE SAME SUBJE
CT AT LEAST SIX TIMES SINCE LAST SPRING.
0994-FZ/1702:024(026) BOTH NATIONS ARE AT A BAY, AND LIKE TWO BULL=DOGS SNARL AT
 ONE ANOTHER, YET HAVE NOT THOUGHT FIT, AS YET, TO COME TO ACTUAL BLOWS.
0995-FZ/1702:025(034) WHAT THE EVENT WILL BE, WE CANNOT PROPHESY AT THIS DISTANC
E, BUT EVERY LITTLE CORPORATION IN THE KINGDOM HAS LAID $LEWIS_LE_GRAND UPON HIS
 BACK, AND AS GOOD AS CALL'D HIM PERJUR'D KNAVE AND VILLAIN.
0996-FZ/1702:026(062) HOWEVER, 'TIS THE HARDEST CASE IN THE WORLD IF WE MISCARRY
; OUR $GRUBSTREET PAMPHLETEERS ADVISE THE SHIRES AND BOROUGHS WHAT SORT OF MEMBE
RS TO CHUSE: THE SHIRES AND BOROUGHS ADVISE THEIR REPRESENTATIVES, WHAT COURSE T
O STEER IN $PARLIAMENT, AND THE SENATORS NO DOUBT ON'T WILL ADVISE HIS MAJESTY W
HAT MINISTERS TO RELY ON, AND HOW TO BEHAVE HIMSELF IN THIS PRESENT CONJUNCTURE.

0997-FZ/1702:027(011) THUS ADVICE, YOU SEE, LIKE MALT=TICKETS, CIRCULATES PLENTI
FULLY ABOUT THE KINGDOM.
0998-FZ/1702:028(020) SO THAT IF WE FAIL IN OUR DESIGNS AFTER ALL, THE WICKED CA
N NEVER SAY 'TWAS FOR WANT OF ADVICE.
0999-FZ/1702:029(070) WE FORGOT TO TELL YOU, MR $HAINES, THAT SINCE YOU LEFT THI
S UPPER WORLD YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN WRITTEN BY A BROTHER PLAYER, WHO PRETENDS HE RE
CEIVED ALL HIS MEMOIRS FROM YOUR OWN MOUTH A LITTLE BEFORE YOU MADE A LEAP INTO
THE DARK; AND REALLY YOU ARE BEHOLDING TO THE FELLOW, FOR HE MAKES YOU A MASTER
OF ARTS AT THE UNIVERSITY, THO' YOU NEVER TOOK A DEGREE THERE.
1000-FZ/1702:030(046) THAT, AND A THOUSAND STORIES OF OTHER PEOPLE HE HAS FATHER
'D UPON YOU, AND THE TRUTH ON'T IS, THE ADVENTURES OF THY LIFE, IF TRULY SET DOW
N, ARE SO ROMANTICK, THAT FEW BESIDES THY ACQUAINTANCE WOULD BE ABLE TO DISTINGU
ISH BETWEEN THE HISTORY AND THE FABLE.
1001-FZ/1702:031(029) BUT LET NOT THIS DISTURB THE SERENITY OF YOUR SOUL, MR $HA
INES, FOR AFTER THIS RATE THE LIVES OF ALL ILLUSTRIOUS PERSONS, WHETHER ANCIENT
OR MODERN HAVE BEEN WRITTEN.
1002-FZ/1702:032(020) THIS, MR $HAINES, IS ALL WE HAVE TO COMMUNICATE TO YOU AT
PRESENT, SO WE CONCLUDE WITH SUBSCRIBING OUR SELVES.
1003-EX/1705:001(037) FROM WHAT HAS BEEN SAID UPON THIS HEAD, WE MAY OBSERVE, TH
E WEAKNESS OF SUCH, AS HAVE PRESUMED TO IMAGINE INFINITE SPACE TO BE A JUST REPR
ESENTATION OR ADAEQUATE IDEA OF THE ESSENCE OF THE SUPREME CAUSE.
1004-EX/1705:002(057) THIS IS A WEAK AND FOND IMAGINATION, ARISING FROM HENCE, T
HAT MEN USING THEMSELVES TO JUDGE OF ALL THINGS BY THEIR SENSES ONLY, FANCY SPIR
ITUAL OR IMMATERIAL SUBSTANCES, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT OBJECTS OF THEIR CORPOREAL
SENSES, TO BE MERE NOTHINGS; JUST AS CHILDREN IMAGINE AIR, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT S
EE IT, TO BE MERE EMPTINESS AND NOTHING.
1005-EX/1705:003(011) BUT THE FALLACY IS TOO GROSS, TO DESERVE BEING INSISTED UP
ON.
1006-EX/1705:004(077) THERE ARE NUMBERLESS SUBSTANCES IN THE WORLD, WHOSE ESSENC
ES ARE AS INTIRELY UNKNOWN AND IMPOSSIBLE TO BE REPRESENTED TO OUR IMAGINATIONS,
 AS COLOURS ARE TO A MAN THAT WAS BORN BLIND, OR SOUNDS TO ONE THAT HAS BEEN ALW
AYS DEAF: NAY, THERE IS NO SUBSTANCE IN THE WORLD, OF WHICH WE KNOW ANY THING FU
RTHER, THAN ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER OF ITS PROPERTIES OR ATTRIBUTES; OF WHICH WE K
NOW FEWER IN SOME THINGS, AND IN OTHERS MORE.
1007-EX/1705:005(046) INFINITE SPACE, IS NOTHING ELSE BUT AN ABSTRACT IDEA OF IM
MENSITY OR INFINITY; EVEN AS INFINITE DURATION, IS OF ETERNITY: AND IT WOULD BE
NOT MUCH LESS PROPER, TO SAY THAT ETERNITY IS THE ESSENCE OF THE SUPREME CAUSE;
THAN TO SAY, THAT IMMENSITY IS SO.
1008-EX/1705:006(040) INDEED THEY SEEM BOTH TO BE BUT ATTRIBUTES OF AN ESSENCE I
NCOMPREHENSIBLE TO US; AND WHEN WE INDEAVOUR TO REPRESENT THE REAL SUBSTANCE OF
ANY BEING WHATSOEVER IN OUR WEAK IMAGINATIONS, WE SHALL FIND OUR SELVES IN LIKE
MANNER DECEIVED.
1009-EX/1705:007(075) FROM HENCE APPEARS THE VANITY OF THE $SCHOOLMEN, WHO AS IN
 OTHER MATTERS, SO IN THEIR DISPUTES ABOUT THE SELF=EXISTENT BEING; WHEN THEY CO
ME AT WHAT THEY ARE BY NO MEANS ABLE TO COMPREHEND OR EXPLAIN; LEAST THEY SHOULD
 SEEM IGNORANT OF ANY THING, THEY GIVE US TERMS OF ART, AND WORDS OF AMUSEMENT;
WHICH UNDER PRETENCE OF EXPLAINING THE MATTER BEFORE THEM, SEEM REALLY TO HAVE N
O MANNER OF IDEA OR SIGNIFICATION AT ALL.
1010-EX/1705:008(053) THUS, WHEN THEY TELL US CONCERNING THE ESSENCE OF $GOD, TH
AT HE IS <PURUS ACTUS, MERA FORMA>, AND THE LIKE; EITHER THE WORDS HAVE NO MEANI
NG, AND SIGNIFY NOTHING; OR ELSE THEY EXPRESS ONLY THE PERFECTION OF HIS POWER,
AND OTHER ATTRIBUTES; WHICH IS NOT WHAT THESE MEN INTEND TO EXPRESS BY THEM.
1011-EX/1705:009(033) THOUGH THE SUBSTANCE OR ESSENCE OF THE SELF=EXISTENT BEING
, IS IT SELF ABSOLUTELY IMCOMPREHENSIBLE TO US: YET MANY OF THE ESSENTIAL ATTRIB
UTES OF HIS NATURE ARE STRICTLY DEMONSTRABLE, AS WELL AS HIS EXISTENCE.
1012-EX/1705:010(013) THUS IN THE FIRST PLACE THE SELF=EXISTENT BEING MUST OF NE
CESSITY BE ETERNAL.
1013-EX/1705:011(053) THE IDEAS OF ETERNITY AND SELF=EXISTENCE ARE SO CLOSELY CO
NNECTED, THAT BECAUSE SOMETHING MUST OF NECESSITY BE ETERNAL INDEPENDENTLY AND W
ITHOUT ANY OUTWARD CAUSE OF ITS BEING, THEREFORE IT MUST NECESSARILY BE SELF=EXI
STENT; AND BECAUSE IT IS IMPOSSIBLE BUT SOMETHING MUST BE SELF=EXISTENT, THEREFO
RE IT IS NECESSARY THAT IT MUST LIKEWISE BE ETERNAL.
1014-EX/1705:012(023) TO BE SELF=EXISTENT IS (AS HAS BEEN ALREADY SHOWN) TO EXIS
T BY AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY IN THE NATURE OF THE THING IT SELF.
1015-EX/1705:013(033) NOW THIS NECESSITY BEING ABSOLUTE, AND NOT DEPENDING UPON
ANY THING EXTERNAL, MUST BE ALWAYS UNALTERABLY THE SAME; NOTHING BEING ALTERABLE
, BUT WHAT IS CAPABLE OF BEING AFFECTED BY SOMETHING WITHOUT IT SELF.
1016-EX/1705:014(037) THAT BEING THEREFORE, WHICH HAS NO OTHER CAUSE OF ITS EXIS
TENCE, BUT THE ABSOLUTE NECESSITY OF ITS OWN NATURE; MUST OF NECESSITY HAVE EXIS
TED FROM EVERLASTING, WITHOUT BEGINNING; AND MUST OF NECESSITY EXIST TO EVERLAST
ING, WITHOUT END.
1017-EX/1705:015(210) AS TO THE MANNER OF THIS ETERNAL EXISTENCE, 'TIS MANIFEST
IT HEREIN INFINITELY TRANSCENDS THE MANNER OF THE EXISTENCE OF ALL CREATED BEING
S; EVEN OF SUCH AS SHALL EXIST FOR EVER; THAT WHEREAS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE
IR FINITE MINDS TO COMPREHEND ALL THAT IS PAST, OR TO UNDERSTAND PERFECTLY ALL T
HINGS THAT ARE AT PRESENT, MUCH LESS TO KNOW ALL THAT IS FUTURE, OR TO HAVE ENTI
RELY IN THEIR POWER ANY THING THAT IS TO COME; BUT THEIR THOUGHTS, AND KNOWLEDGE
 AND POWER, MUST OF NECESSITY HAVE DEGREES AND PERIODS, AND BE SUCCESSIVE AND TR
ANSIENT AS THE THINGS THEMSELVES: THE ETERNAL, SUPREME CAUSE, ON THE CONTRARY, (
SUPPOSING HIM TO BE AN INTELLIGENT BEING, WHICH WILL HEREAFTER BE PROVED IN THE
SEQUEL OF THIS DISCOURSE,) MUST OF NECESSITY HAVE SUCH A PERFECT, INDEPENDENT AN
D UNCHANGEABLE COMPREHENSION OF ALL THINGS, THAT THERE CAN BE NO ONE POINT OR IN
STANT OF HIS ETERNAL DURATION, WHEREIN ALL THINGS THAT ARE PAST, PRESENT, OR TO
COME, WILL NOT BE AS ENTIRELY KNOWN AND REPRESENTED TO HIM IN ONE SINGLE THOUGHT
 OR VIEW; AND ALL THINGS PRESENT AND FUTURE, BE EQUALLY INTIRELY IN HIS POWER AN
D DIRECTION; AS IF THERE WAS REALLY NO SUCCESSION AT ALL, BUT ALL THINGS WERE AC
TUALLY PRESENT AT ONCE.
1018-EX/1705:016(064) THUS FAR WE CAN SPEAK INTELLIGIBLY CONCERNING THE ETERNAL
DURATION OF THE SELF=EXISTENT BEING; AND NO ATHEIST CAN SAY THAT THIS IS AN IMPO
SSIBLE, ABSURD OR INSUFFICIENT ACCOUNT: IT IS, IN THE MOST PROPER AND INTELLIGIB
LE SENSE OF THE WORDS, TO ALL THE PURPOSES OF EXCELLENCY AND PERFECTION, <INTERM
INABILIS VITAE TOTA SIMUL ET PERFECTA POSSESSIO>: THE ENTIRE AND PERFECT POSSESS
ION OF AN ENDLESS LIFE.
1019-EX/1705:017(054) OTHERS HAVE SUPPOSED THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MANNE
R OF THE ETERNAL EXISTENCE OF THE SUPREME CAUSE, AND THAT OF THE EXISTENCE OF CR
EATED BEINGS, IS THIS: THAT WHEREAS THE LATTER IS A CONTINUAL TRANSIENT SUCCESSI
ON OF DURATION; THE FORMER IS ONE POINT OR INSTANT COMPREHENDING ETERNITY, AND W
HEREIN ALL THINGS ARE REALLY CO=EXISTENT.
1020-EX/1705:018(091) BUT THIS DISTINCTION I SHALL NOT NOW INSIST UPON; AS BEING
 OF NO USE IN THE PRESENT DISPUTE; BECAUSE, SUPPOSING IT NEVER SO TRUE, YET IT W
OULD BE HARD TO PROVE AND EXPLAIN IT IN SUCH A MANNER, AS EVER TO CONVINCE AN AT
HEIST THAT THERE IS ANY THING IN IT: AND BESIDES; AS ON THE ONE HAND THE $SCHOOL
MEN HAVE INDEED GENERALLY CHOSEN TO DEFEND IT; SO ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE M
ANY LEARNED MEN OF NOT LESS UNDERSTANDING AND JUDGMENT THAN THEY; WHO HAVE REJEC
TED AND OPPOSED IT.
1021-FI/1705:001(036) THE PRINCIPAL AND MOST DISTINCT SCENES, IN WHICH A WOMAN C
AN ACT A PART, ARE EITHER AS A VIRGIN, A WIFE, OR A WIDOW, AND IN THESE THREE CA
PACITIES YOU'LL FIND MY FEMALE FRIENDS IN $BOSTON.
1022-FI/1705:002(044) - FOR THE DAMSEL (ONE EMINENTLY KNOWN BY THAT NAME) WAS A
VIRGIN, MRS $GREEN A WIFE, AND MADAM $BRICK A WIDOW, AND MRS $TOY <PARTE PER PAL
E>, AS THE HERALDS SAY, HALF WIFE, HALF WIDOW; HER HUSBAND A CAPTAIN BEING NOW A
T SEA.
1023-FI/1705:003(028) I SHALL FIRST SPEAK OF THE DAMSEL, FOR VIRGINITY IS FIRST,
 IN ORDER OF TIME; AND IF WE WILL TAKE ST $PAUL'S JUDGMENT, IN RESPECT OF EXCELL
ENCY ALSO.
1024-FI/1705:004(160) IN THE PRIMITIVE TIMES, VIRGINITY HAD A PARTICULAR CORONET
 OF GLORY, BELONGING TO IT; AND THE $ROMAN VESTALS HAD EXTRAORDINARY PRIVILEGES
ALLOW'D THEM BY THE STATE: IN THE PAPAL CHURCH THERE IS A RELIGIOUS ORDER OF VIR
GINS, THEY CALL NUNS; BUT THO' THERE BE NOT AMONG US SUCH SOCIETIES, YET THERE M
AY BE NUNS WHICH ARE NOT PROFEST, AND SUCH I ESTEEM MY FRIEND THE DAMSEL, FOR SH
E DEVOTED HER HEART TO $GOD, AND PERHAPS THIS WAS MORE ACCEPTABLE TO HIM, THAN I
F HER PRESUMPTION HAD MADE HER MORE POSITIVE, AND ENGAG'D HER IN A VOW THAT SHE
WAS NOT SURE TO PERFORM; 'TIS TRUE, AN OLD (OR SUPERANNUATED) MAID, IN $BOSTON,
IS THOUGHT SUCH A CURSE, AS NOTHING CAN EXCEED IT (AND LOOK'D ON AS A DISMAL SPE
CTACLE) YET SHE BY HER GOOD NATURE, GRAVITY, AND STRICT VIRTUE, CONVINCES ALL (S
O MUCH AS THE FLEERING BEAUS) THAT 'TIS NOT HER NECESSITY, BUT HER CHOICE, THAT
KEEPS HER A VIRGIN.
1025-FI/1705:005(054) SHE'S NOW ABOUT THIRTY YEARS, (THE AGE WHICH THEY CALL A T
HORNBACK) YET SHE NEVER DISGUISES HER SELF, AND TALKS AS LITTLE AS SHE THINKS OF
 LOVE; SHE NEVER READS ANY PLAYS OR ROMANCES, GOES TO NO BALLS, OR DANCING=MATCH
, AS THEY DO WHO GO (TO SUCH FAIRS) IN ORDER TO MEET WITH CHAPMEN.
1026-FI/1705:006(073) HER LOOKS, HER SPEECH, HER WHOLE BEHAVIOUR, ARE SO VERY CH
ASTE, THAT BUT ONCE (AT $GOVERNOURS_ISLAND, WHERE WE WENT TO BE MERRY AT ROASTIN
G A HOG) GOING TO KISS HER, I THOUGHT SHE'D HAVE BLUSH'D TO DEATH; INDEED THE VE
RY NAME OF VIRGIN IMPORTS A MOST CRITICAL NICENESS IN THAT POINT; EVERY INDECENT
 CURIOSITY, OR IMPURE FANCY, IS A DEFLOWERING OF THE MIND, AND GIVES SOME DEGREE
 OF DEFILEMENT TO THE BODY TOO.
1027-FI/1705:007(116) SHE THAT LISTENS TO LEWD TALK, HAS DEFIL'D HER EARS; SHE T
HAT SPEAKS ANY, HER TONGUE; AND EVERY WANTON GLANCE LEAVES A STAIN BEHIND IT; SO
 THAT NOTHING IS MORE NICE AND DELICATE THAN A MAIDEN VIRTUE; OUR DAMSEL KNOWING
 THIS, HER CONVERSATION IS GENERALLY AMONGST THE WOMEN (AS THERE'S LEAST DANGER
FROM THAT SEX) SO THAT I FOUND IT NO EASY MATTER TO ENJOY HER COMPANY, FOR MORE
OF HER TIME (SAVE WHAT WAS TAKEN UP IN NEEDLEWORKS, AND LEARNING $FRENCH, ETC) W
AS SPENT IN RELIGIOUS WORSHIP, SHE KNEW TIME WAS A DRESSING=ROOM FOR ETERNITY, A
ND THEREFORE RESERVES MOST OF HER HOURS FOR BETTER USES, THAN THOSE OF THE COMB,
 THE TOILET, AND THE GLASS.
1028-FI/1705:008(015) HAVING SPOKE OF THE DAMSEL'S MODESTY, ETC I SHALL SAY SOME
THING OF HER MATCHLESS OBEDIENCE.
1029-FI/1705:009(048) AND HERE I SHALL TELL YOU SHE THINKS IT AS MUCH HER INTERE
ST AS HER DUTY, TO OBSERVE HER PARENTS' COMMANDS: HER OBEDIENCE EXTENDS IT SELF
TO ALL THINGS, THAT ARE EITHER GOOD OR INDIFFERENT, AND HAS NO CLAUSE OF EXCEPTI
ON, BUT ONLY WHERE THE COMMAND IS UNLAWFUL.
1030-FI/1705:010(018) I HAVE KNOWN HER SCRUPLE TO GO TO $ROXBURY, (NOT A MILE FR
OM $BOSTON) WITHOUT HER FATHER'S CONSENT.
1031-FI/1705:011(069) BUT NOW=A=DAYS, SHE THAT GOES WITH HER PARENT (UNLESS IT B
E A PARENT AS WILD AS HER SELF) THINKS SHE DOES BUT WALK ABROAD WITH HER GOALER:
 BUT THE RIGHT OF THE PARENT IS SO UNDOUBTED, THAT WE FIND $GOD HIMSELF, GIVES W
AY TO IT, AND WILL NOT SUFFER THE MOST HOLY PRETENCE, NO, NOT THAT OF A VOW, TO
INVADE IT, AS WE MAY SEE IN "NUMBERS" 30.
1032-FI/1705:012(022) HOW WILL HE THEN RESENT IT, TO HAVE THIS LAW VIOLATED, UPO
N THE IMPULSE OF A GAY PASSION, OR AN AMOROUS FANCY?
1033-FI/1705:013(033) NEITHER DID I EVER KNOW A CHILD IN MY LIFE, THAT MARRIED A
GAINST HIS PARENTS' CONSENT (AND I HAVE KNOWN SEVERAL) BUT THE CURSE OF $GOD HAS
 FOLLOWED, EITHER THEM OR THEIR OFF=SPRING.
1034-FI/1705:014(065) LET ALL VIRGINS THEREFORE BESTOW THEMSELVES WITH THEIR PAR
ENTS' LEAVE, THAT THEY MAY NOT ONLY HAVE THEIR BENEDICTION, BUT $GOD'S: AND I AM
 SURE THIS IS MOST AGREEABLE TO THE VIRGIN MODESTY, WHICH SHOU'D MAKE MARRIAGE A
N ACT RATHER OF THEIR OBEDIENCE THAN THEIR CHOICE: AND THEY THAT THINK THEIR FRI
ENDS TOO SLOW=PAC'D IN THE MATTER, GIVE CERTAIN PROOF THAT LUST IS THE SOLE MOTI
VE.
1035-FI/1705:015(042) BUT AS THE DAMSEL I'VE BEEN DESCRIBING, WOU'D NEITHER ANTI
CIPATE NOR CONTRADICT THE WILL OF HER PARENTS, SO I DO ASSURE YOU SHE'S AGAINST
FORCING HER OWN, BY MARRYING, WHERE SHE CANNOT LOVE; AND THAT'S THE REASON SHE'S
 STILL A VIRGIN .
1036-FI/1705:016(041) THUS, READER HAVING CHARACTERIZ'D MY VIRGIN=FRIEND, I SHAL
L SHIFT THE SCENE, AND GIVE YOU THE PICTURE OF THE BEST OF WIVES ($IRIS STILL EX
CEPTED) THIS IS ANOTHER OF MY FRIENDS, WITH WHOM I US'D TO SPEND SOME OF MY LEIS
URE HOURS.
1037-FI/1705:017(014) AND WHEN YOU HEAR HER CHARACTER, YOU'D WONDER INDEED, IF H
ER HUSBAND WAS JEALOUS.
1038-FI/1705:018(017) THE PERSON WHOSE CHARACTER I AM GOING TO GIVE, IS MRS $GRE
EN, A PRINTER'S WIFE, IN $BOSTON.
1039-FI/1705:019(070) A WIFE IS THE NEXT CHANGE THAT A VIRGIN CAN LAWFULLY MAKE,
 AND DRAWS MANY OTHER RELATIONS AFTER IT: WHICH MRS $GREEN WAS SENSIBLE OF, FOR
I HAVE HEARD HER SAY, THAT WHEN SHE MARRIED MR $GREEN, SHE ESPOUS'D HIS OBLIGATI
ONS ALSO, AND WHERE=EVER HER HUSBAND, EITHER BY TIES OF NATURE, OR SQUEEZING OF
WAX, OW'D EITHER MONEY OR LOVE, SHE ESTEEM'D HER SELF TO BE NO LESS A DEBTOR.
1040-FI/1705:020(023) SHE KNEW HER MARRIAGE WAS AN ADOPTION INTO HIS FAMILY, AND
 THEREFORE PAID TO EVERY BRANCH OF IT, WHAT THEIR RESPECTIVE STATIONS REQUIR'D.

1041-FI/1705:021(030) SHE IS SENSIBLE THAT THE DUTY OF HER PLACE HAS SEVERAL ASP
ECTS; FIRST, AS IT RELATES TO HER HUSBAND'S PERSON, AND NEXT TO HIS RELATIONS, A
ND THIRDLY TO HIS FORTUNE.
1042-FI/1705:022(076) AS TO HIS PERSON, SHE WELL ENOUGH KNEW THAT THE GREAT DUTY
 OF A WIFE IS LOVE: LOVE WAS THE REASON THAT SHE MARRY'D HIM, FOR SHE KNEW WHERE
 LOVE IS WANTING, 'TIS BUT THE CARCASS OF A MARRIAGE; IT WAS HER STUDY THEREFORE
, TO PRESERVE THIS FLAME OF LOVE, THAT LIKE THE VESTAL FIRE, IT NEVER MIGHT GO O
UT; AND THEREFORE SHE TOOK CARE TO GUARD IT FROM ALL THOSE THINGS THAT MIGHT EXT
INGUISH IT.
1043-FI/1705:023(086) MRS $GREEN KNEW VERY WELL HOW FATAL JEALOUSY HAD BEEN TO M
ANY; AND THEREFORE AS SHE TOOK CARE NEVER TO HARBOUR IT IN HER OWN BREAST, SO SH
E WAS NICELY CAREFUL NEVER TO GIVE HER HUSBAND THE LEAST UMBRAGE FOR IT; SHE KNE
W, SHOU'D SHE GIVE WAY TO JEALOUSY, SHE SHOU'D NOT ONLY LOSE HER EASE, BUT RUN T
HE HAZARD OF PARTING ALSO WITH SOMEWHAT OF HER INNOCENCE; FOR JEALOUSY IS VERY A
PT TO MUSTER UP THE FORCES OF OUR IRASCIBLE PART TO ABET ITS QUARREL.
1044-FI/1705:024(057) ANOTHER DEBT THAT MRS $GREEN WAS SENSIBLE SHE OW'D, AND WA
S CAREFUL TO PAY TO HER HUSBAND, WAS FIDELITY: SHE KNEW THAT AS SHE HAD ESPOUS'D
 HIS INTEREST, SO SHE OUGHT TO BE TRUE TO 'EM, KEEP ALL HIS SECRETS, INFORM HIM
OF HIS DANGERS, AND IN A MILD AND GENTLE MANNER ADMONISH HIM OF HIS FAULTS.
1045-FI/1705:025(071) AND THIS SHE KNEW, (HOW ILL SOEVER MANY TAKE IT) IS ONE OF
 THE MOST GENUINE ACTS OF FAITHFULNESS; AND TO BE WANTING IN IT WOU'D BE A FAILU
RE IN HER DUTY; AND SHE WAS SENSIBLE THAT IF SHE DID NOT DO IT, SHE SHOU'D BE UN
FAITHFUL TO HER SELF, AS WELL KNOWING NOTHING DOES SO MUCH SECURE THE HAPPINESS
OF A WIFE, AS THE VIRTUE AND PIETY OF HER HUSBAND.
1046-FI/1705:026(107) BUT MATRIMONIAL FIDELITY, HAS A SPECIAL RELATION TO THE MA
RRIAGE BED, AND IN THIS MRS $GREEN WAS SO SEVERELY SCRUPULOUS, THAT SHE WOU'D NE
VER SUFFER ANY LIGHT EXPRESSIONS, OR WANTON DISCOURSE IN HER COMPANY; AND THIS W
AS SO REMARKABLE IN HER, THAT THERE BEING AN INVITATION OF SEVERAL PERSONS TO A
GENTLEMAN'S HOUSE IN $BOSTON, AND SOME THAT WERE INVITED, RESOLVING TO BE VERY M
ERRY; ONE OF THE COMPANY MADE THIS AN OBJECTION, THAT MRS $GREEN WOU'D BE THERE,
 WHICH WOU'D SPOIL THEIR MIRTH: TO WHICH ANOTHER WILD SPARK IN THE COMPANY REPLY
'D, "'TIS BUT SPEAKING TWO OR THREE WORDS OF BAWDY, AND SHE'LL BE GONE PRESENTLY
".
1047-FI/1705:027(086) ANOTHER THING THAT WAS VERY REMARKABLE IN MRS $GREEN, WAS
HER OBEDIENCE TO HER HUSBAND; TO WHOSE WILL SHE WAS SO EXACTLY OBSERVANT, THAT H
E COU'D NOT BE MORE READY TO COMMAND, THAN SHE WAS TO OBEY; AND WHEN SOME OF HIS
 COMMANDS SEEM'D NOT TO BE SO KIND AS SHE MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED, SHE WOU'D NOT ONL
Y OBEY 'EM, BUT WISELY DISSEMBLE THE UNKINDNESS OF THEM; AS KNOWING, WHERE MEN H
AVE NOT WHOLLY PUT OFF HUMANITY, THERE IS A NATIVE COMPASSION TO A MEEK SUFFERER
.
1048-FI/1705:028(030) SHE WAS ALSO EXTREAMLY TENDER OF HER HUSBAND'S REPUTATION;
 SETTING HIS WORTH IN THE CLEAREST LIGHT, PUTTING HIS INFIRMITIES (FOR WHERE'S T
HE MAN THAT LIVES WITHOUT 'EM) IN THE SHADE.
1049-FI/1705:029(067) AND AS SHE WAS THIS WAY TENDER OF HIS REPUTATION, SO SHE W
AS ALSO IN ANOTHER RESPECT MORE PARTICULARLY RELATING TO HER SELF: FOR KNOWING T
HAT THE MIS=BEHAVIOUR OF THE WIFE REFLECTS UPON THE HUSBAND, SHE TOOK CARE TO AB
STAIN EVEN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL, AND RESOLVED TO BE (WHAT $CAESAR DESIR'D
 OF HIS WIFE) NOT ONLY FREE FROM FAULT, BUT FROM ALL SUSPICION OF IT.
1050-FI/1705:030(061) BUT MRS $GREEN WAS NOT ONLY A LOVING, A FAITHFUL, AND AN O
BEDIENT WIFE, BUT AN INDUSTRIOUS WIFE TOO; MANAGING THAT PART OF HIS BUSINESS WH
ICH HE HAD DEPUTED TO HER, WITH SO MUCH APPLICATION AND DEXTERITY, AS IF SHE HAD
 NEVER COME INTO THE HOUSE; AND YET SO MANAG'D HER HOUSE, AS IF SHE HAD NEVER GO
NE INTO THE WARE=HOUSE.
1051-FI/1705:031(080) THE EMPEROUR $AUGUSTUS HIMSELF, SCARCE WORE ANY THING, BUT
 WHAT WAS THE MANUFACTURE OF HIS WIFE, HIS SISTER, HIS DAUGHTER, OR HIS NIECES;
SHOU'D OUR GAY $ENGLISH LADIES, THOSE LILIES OF OUR FIELDS, WHICH NEITHER SOW NO
R SPIN, NOR GATHER INTO BARNS, BE EXEMPTED FROM FURNISHING OTHERS, AND ONLY LEFT
 TO CLOATH THEMSELVES, 'TIS TO BE DOUBTED THEY WOU'D REVERSE OUR SAVIOUR'S PARAL
LEL OF $SOLOMON'S GLORIES, AND NO BEGGAR IN ALL HIS RAGS, WOU'D BE ARRAY'D LIKE
ONE OF THESE.
1052-FI/1705:032(028) BUT MRS $GREEN FOLLOW'D THE EXAMPLE OF $SOLOMON'S VIRTUOUS
 WIFE, WHO RISETH WHILE IT IS YET NIGHT, GIVING MEAT TO HER HOUSHOLD, AND A PORT
ION TO HER MAIDENS.
1053-FI/1705:033(071) AND AS SHE IS A GOOD WIFE TO HER HUSBAND, SO IS SHE ALSO A
 GOOD MOTHER TO HER CHILDREN, WHOM SHE BRINGS UP WITH THAT SWEETNESS AND FACILIT
Y AS IS ADMIRABLE; NOT KEEPING THEM AT TOO GREAT A DISTANCE, (AS SOME DO) THEREB
Y DISCOURAGING THEIR GOOD PARTS; NOR BY AN OVER=FONDNESS (A FAULT MOST MOTHERS A
RE GUILTY OF) BETRAYING 'EM INTO A THOUSAND INCONVENIENCIES, WHICH OFTENTIMES PR
OVES FATAL TO 'EM.
1054-FI/1705:034(033) IN BRIEF, SHE TAKES CARE OF THEIR EDUCATION, AND WHATEVER
ELSE BELONGS TO 'EM; SO THAT MR $GREEN ENJOYS THE COMFORT OF HIS CHILDREN, WITHO
UT KNOWING ANY THING OF THE TROUBLE OF 'EM.
1055-FI/1705:035(043) NOR IS SHE LESS A GOOD MISTRESS THAN A GOOD MOTHER; TREATI
NG HER SERVANTS WITH THAT LOVE AND GENTLENESS, AS IF SHE WERE THEIR MOTHER, TAKI
NG CARE BOTH OF THEIR SOULS AND BODIES, AND NOT LETING THEM WANT ANY THING NECES
SARY FOR EITHER.
1056-FI/1705:036(027) I ONE DAY TOLD HER, THAT I BELIEV'D SHE WAS AN EXTRAORDINA
RY WIFE; BUT MR $GREEN WAS SO GOOD A MAN, SHE COU'D NOT WELL BE OTHERWISE.
1057-FI/1705:037(045) TO WHICH SHE ANSWER'D, THAT SHE HAD SO GOOD A HUSBAND, WAS
 HER MERCY; BUT HAD HER HUSBAND BEEN AS BAD A MAN AS ANY IN THE WORLD, HER DUTY
WOU'D HAVE BEEN THE SAME, AND SO SHE HOP'D HER PRACTICE SHOULD HAVE BEEN TOO.
1058-FI/1705:038(015) WHICH AS IT IS A GREAT TRUTH, IT WANTS TO BE MORE KNOWN AN
D PRACTIC'D.
1059-FI/1705:039(026) AND THUS, READER I HAVE GIVEN YOU THE CHARACTER OF ANOTHER
 OF MY FEMALE FRIENDS IN $BOSTON, AND IN HER, THE CHARACTER OF A GOOD WIFE.
1060-FI/1705:040(038) I HAVE ONLY TO ADD, THAT THESE VIRTUES ARE ALL FOUND IN MY
 DEAR $IRIS, AS 'TWERE IN A NEW EDITION, MORE CORRECT AND ENLARG'D: OR, RATHER $
IRIS IS THAT BRIGHT ORIGINAL WHICH ALL GOOD WIVES SHOU'D IMITATE.
1061-FI/1705:041(021) THEN NO WONDER I NAME HER SO OFTEN; WHEN TO THINK OF HER,
IS MY BUSINESS, MY LIFE, MY EVERY THING.
1062-FI/1705:042(025) BUT HAVING GIVEN A FAREWELL TO MRS $GREEN, I SHALL NEXT PR
ESENT YOU WITH THE CHARACTER OF THE WIDOW $BRICK, THE VERY FLOWER OF $BOSTON.
1063-FI/1705:043(036) THAT OF A WIDOW IS THE NEXT STATE OR CHANGE THAT CAN SUCCE
ED TO THAT OF MARRIAGE; AND I HAVE CHOSEN (MY FRIEND) THE WIDOW $BRICK, AS AN EX
EMPLAR TO SHEW YOU WHAT A WIDOW IS.
1064-FI/1705:044(066) THE WIDOW $BRICK, IS A GENTLEWOMAN WHOSE HEAD (IE HER HUSB
AND) HAS BEEN CUT OFF, AND YET SHE LIVES AND WALKS: BUT DON'T BE FRIGHTED, FOR S
HE'S FLESH AND BLOOD STILL, AND PERHAPS SOME OF THE FINEST THAT YOU EVER SAW; SH
E HAS SUFFICIENTLY EVIDENC'D THAT HER LOVE TO HER LATE HUSBAND IS AS STRONG AS D
EATH, BECAUSE DEATH HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO EXTINGUISH IT.
1065-FI/1705:045(070) HER GRIEF FOR HIS DEATH, WAS SUCH AS BECAME HER, GREAT BUT
 MODERATE; NOT LIKE A HASTY SHOWER, BUT A STILL RAIN: SHE KNEW NOTHING OF THOSE
TRAGICAL FURIES WHERE WITH SOME WOMEN SEEM TRANSPORTED TOWARDS THEIR DEAD HUSBAN
DS; THOSE FRANTICK EMBRACES AND CARESSES OF A CARCASS, BETRAY A LITTLE TOO MUCH
THE SENSUALITY OF THEIR LOVE, SUCH VIOLENT PASSIONS QUICKLY SPEND THEMSELVES, AN
D SEEM RATHER TO VANISH THAN CONSUME.
1066-FI/1705:046(009) BUT MADAM $BRICK GRIEV'D MORE MODERATELY AND MORE LASTINGL
Y.
1067-FI/1705:047(017) I ALWAYS OBSERV'D, THAT WHENEVER SHE SPOKE OF HER HUSBAND,
 IT WAS IN THE MOST ENDEARING MANNER.
1068-FI/1705:048(016) NOR COU'D SHE EVER MENTION HIM, WITHOUT PAYING THE TRIBUTE
 OF A TEAR TO HIS MEMORY.
1069-FI/1705:049(021) SHE SET SUCH A VALUE ON HER RELATION TO HER HUSBAND, AS TO
 DO NOTHING THAT MIGHT SEEM UNWORTHY OF IT.
1070-FI/1705:050(022) HISTORIANS INFORM US, THAT 'TWAS THE DYING CHARGE OF $AUGU
STUS, TO THE EMPRESS $LIVIA, "BEHAVE THY SELF WELL, AND REMEMBER OUR MARRIAGE".

1071-FI/1705:051(035) MADAM $BRICK HAD YET ANOTHER WAY OF EXPRESSING THE VALUE S
HE HAD FOR MR $BRICK, AND THAT IS, BY THE KINDNESS SHE SHOW'D TO THE CHILDREN WH
ICH HE LEFT BEHIND HIM, WHICH WERE ONLY TWO.
1072-FI/1705:052(037) AS TO THEIR EDUCATION, SHE TOOK CARE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE
THAT LEARNING THAT WAS PROPER FOR THEM; AND ABOVE ALL, THAT THEY MIGHT BE FURNIS
H'D WITH INGENIOUS AND VIRTUOUS PRINCIPLES, FOUNDED ON THE FEAR OF $GOD.
1073-FI/1705:053(084) NEITHER DID SHE SUFFER HER PIOUS BEHAVIOUR TO BE CAST OFF
HER WIDOW'S VEIL, BUT MADE IT THE CONSTANT DRESS BOTH OF HER WIDOWHOOD AND LIFE;
 AND AS A CONSEQUENCE HEREOF, SHE BECAME A MEMBER OF MR $ALLEN'S CONGREGATION; A
ND LIV'D A LIFE OF SINCERE PIETY, AND YET WAS SO FAR FROM SOURNESS EITHER IN HER
 COUNTENANCE OR CONVERSATION, THAT NOTHING WAS EVER MORE SWEET OR AGREEABLE: MAK
ING IT EVIDENT THAT PIETY DID NOT CONSIST IN MOROSNESS; NOR SINCERE DEVOTION IN
A SUPERCILIOUS CARRIAGE.
1074-FI/1705:054(043) 'TWAS THE VITALS OF RELIGION THAT SHE MINDED, AND NOT FORM
S AND MODES; AND IF SHE FOUND THE POWER OF IT IN HER HEART, SHE DID NOT THINK HE
R SELF OBLIG'D TO SUCH A STARCH'DNESS OF CARRIAGE AS IS USUAL AMONGST THE $BOSTO
NIANS.
1075-FI/1705:055(034) NOR WAS HER PIETY AND DEVOTION BARREN, BUT FRUITFUL AND AB
OUNDING IN THE WORKS OF CHARITY; AND WHEN EVER I WENT TO VISIT HER, SHE WOU'D BE
 ALWAYS DISCOURSING OF THE THINGS OF HEAVEN.
1076-FI/1705:056(074) TO CONCLUDE HER CHARACTER, THE BEAUTY OF HER PERSON, THE S
WEETNESS AND AFFABILITY OF HER TEMPER, THE GRAVITY OF HER CARRIAGE, AND HER EXAL
TED PIETY, GAVE ME SO JUST A VALUE FOR HER, THAT MRS $GREEN WOU'D OFTEN SAY SHOU
'D $IRIS DIE (WHICH HEAVEN FORBID) THERE'S NONE WAS FIT TO SUCCEED HER, BUT MADA
M $BRICK: BUT MRS $GREEN, WAS PARTIAL, FOR MY POOR PRETENCES TO VIRTUE, WOU'D NE
'ER HAVE ANSWER'D TO HER TOWRING HEIGHTS.
1077-FI/1705:057(106) 'TIS TRUE, MADAM $BRICK DID ME THE HONOUR TO TREAT ME VERY
 KINDLY AT HER HOUSE, AND TO ADMIT ME OFTEN INTO HER CONVERSATION; BUT I'M SURE
OUR FRIENDSHIP WAS ALL PLATONICK (SO ANGELS LOV'D) AND FULL AS INNOCENT AS THAT
OF THE PHILOSOPHER WHO GAVE IT THE NAME; BUT IF $PLATO WAS NOT VERY MUCH WRONG'D
, HE NEVER LOV'D VIRTUE SO REFINEDLY AS TO LIKE TO COURT HER SO PASSIONATELY IN
A FOUL OR HOMELY HABITATION, AS HE DID IN THOSE THAT WERE MORE BEAUTIFUL AND LOV
ELY; AND THIS SUFFICIENTLY JUSTIFIES MY FRIENDSHIP TO MADAM $BRICK AND HER SPOTL
ESS INNOCENCE IN ACCEPTING OF IT .
1078-EO/1708:001(097) HAVING APPREHENDED THE MANNER BY WHICH THE BEING LIKE THE
HEAVENLY BODIES, WAS PECULIAR TO HIM ABOVE ALL OTHER KINDS OF ANIMALS WHATEVER;
HE PERCEIV'D THAT IT WAS A DUTY NECESSARILY INCUMBENT UPON HIM TO RESEMBLE THEM,
 AND IMITATE THEIR ACTIONS, AND ENDEAVOUR TO THE UTMOST TO BECOME LIKE THEM: HE
PERCEIV'D ALSO THAT IN RESPECT OF HIS NOBLER PART, BY WHICH HE HAD ATTAIN'D THE
KNOWLEDGE OF THAT NECESSARILY SELF=EXISTENT BEING, HE DID IN SOME MEASURE RESEMB
LE IT, BECAUSE HE WAS SEPARATED FROM THE ATTRIBUTES OF BODIES, AS THE NECESSARIL
Y SELF=EXISTENT BEING IS SEPARATED FROM THEM.
1079-EO/1708:002(074) HE SAW ALSO THAT IT WAS HIS DUTY TO ENDEAVOUR TO MAKE HIMS
ELF MASTER OF THE PROPERTIES OF THAT BEING BY ALL POSSIBLE MEANS, AND PUT ON HIS
 QUALITIES, AND IMITATE HIS ACTIONS, AND LABOUR IN THE DOING HIS WILL, AND RESIG
N HIMSELF WHOLLY TO HIM, AND SUBMIT TO HIS DISPENSATIONS HEARTILY AND UNFEIGNEDL
Y, SO AS TO REJOICE IN HIM, THO' HE SHOULD LAY AFFLICTIONS UPON HIS BODY, AND HU
RT, OR TOTALLY DESTROY IT.
1080-EO/1708:003(093) HE ALSO PERCEIV'D THAT HE RESEMBLED THE BEASTS IN HIS VILE
R PART, WHICH BELONG'D TO THIS GENERABLE AND CORRUPTIBLE WORLD, VIZ THIS DARK, G
ROSS BODY, WHICH SOLLICITED HIM WITH THE DESIRE OF VARIETY OF SENSIBLE OBJECTS,
AND EXCITED HIM TO EATING, DRINKING, AND COPULATION; AND HE KNEW THAT HIS BODY W
AS NOT CREATED AND JOIN'D TO HIM IN VAIN, BUT THAT HE WAS OBLIG'D TO PRESERVE IT
 AND TAKE CARE OF IT, WHICH HE SAW COULD NOT BE DONE WITHOUT SOME OF THOSE ACTIO
NS WHICH ARE COMMON TO THE REST OF THE ANIMALS.
1081-EO/1708:004(030) THUS IT WAS PLAIN TO HIM, THAT THERE WERE THREE SORTS OF A
CTIONS WHICH HE WAS OBLIG'D TO, VIZ ONE - EITHER THOSE BY WHICH HE RESEMBLED THE
 IRRATIONAL ANIMALS.
1082-EO/1708:005(011) OR, TWO - THOSE BY WHICH HE RESEMBLED THE HEAVENLY BODIES.

1083-EO/1708:006(036) OR, THREE - THOSE BY WHICH HE RESEMBLED THE NECESSARILY SE
LF=EXISTENT BEING: AND THAT HE WAS OBLIG'D TO THE FIRST, AS HAVING A GROSS BODY,
 CONSISTING OF SEVERAL PARTS, AND DIFFERENT FACULTIES, AND VARIETY OF MOTIONS.
1084-EO/1708:007(027) TO THE SECOND, AS HAVING AN ANIMAL SPIRIT, WHICH HAD ITS S
EAT IN THE HEART, AND WAS THE FIRST BEGINNING OF THE BODY AND ALL ITS FACULTIES.

1085-EO/1708:008(023) TO THE THIRD, AS HE WAS WHAT HE WAS, VIZ AS HE WAS THAT BE
ING, BY WHICH HE KNEW THE NECESSARILY SELF=EXISTENT BEING.
1086-EO/1708:009(037) AND HE WAS VERY WELL ASSUR'D BEFORE, THAT HIS HAPPINESS AN
D FREEDOM FROM MISERY, CONSISTED IN THE PERPETUAL VISION OF THAT NECESSARILY SEL
F=EXISTENT BEING, WITHOUT BEING AVERTED FROM IT SO MUCH AS THE TWINKLING OF AN E
YE.
1087-EO/1708:010(040) THEN HE WEIGH'D WITH HIMSELF, BY WHAT MEANS A CONTINUATION
 OF THIS VISION MIGHT BE ATTAIN'D, AND THE RESULT OF HIS CONTEMPLATION WAS THIS,
 VIZ THAT HE WAS OBLIGED TO KEEP HIMSELF CONSTANTLY EXERCIS'D IN THESE THREE KIN
DS OF RESEMBLANCE.
1088-EO/1708:011(085) NOT THAT THE FIRST OF THEM DID ANY WAY CONTRIBUTE TO THE H
ELPING HIM TO THE VISION (BUT WAS RATHER AN IMPEDIMENT AND HINDRANCE, BECAUSE IT
 WAS CONCERN'D ONLY IN SENSIBLE OBJECTS, WHICH ARE ALL OF THEM A SORT OF VEIL OR
 CURTAIN INTERPOS'D BETWEEN US AND IT;) BUT BECAUSE IT WAS NECESSARY FOR THE PRE
SERVATION OF THE ANIMAL SPIRIT, WHEREBY THE SECOND RESEMBLANCE, WHICH HE HAD WIT
H THE HEAVENLY BODIES WAS ACQUIR'D, AND WAS FOR THIS REASON NECESSARY, THOUGH IN
CUMBRED WITH HINDRANCES AND INCONVENIENCIES.
1089-EO/1708:012(057) BUT AS TO THE SECOND CONFORMITY, HE SAW INDEED THAT A GREA
T SHARE OF THAT CONTINU'D VISION WAS ATTAIN'D BY IT, BUT THAT IT WAS NOT WITHOUT
 MIXTURE; BECAUSE, WHATSOEVER CONTEMPLATES THE VISION AFTER THIS MANNER CONTINUA
LLY, DOES, TOGETHER WITH IT, HAVE REGARD TO, AND CAST A LOOK UPON HIS OWN ESSENC
E, AS SHALL BE SHEWN HEREAFTER.
1090-EO/1708:013(097) BUT THAT THE THIRD CONFORMITY WAS THAT BY WHICH HE OBTAIN'
D THE PURE AND ENTIRE VISION, SO AS TO BE WHOLLY TAKEN UP WITH IT, WITHOUT BEING
 DIVERTED FROM IT ONE WAY OR OTHER, BY ANY MEANS WHATSOEVER, BUT BEING STILL INT
ENT UPON THAT NECESSARILY SELF=EXISTENT BEING; WHICH WHOSOEVER ENJOYS, HAS NO RE
GARD TO ANY THING ELSE, AND HIS OWN ESSENCE IS ALTOGETHER NEGLECTED, AND VANISH'
D OUT OF SIGHT, AND BECOME AS NOTHING; AND SO ARE ALL OTHER ESSENCES BOTH GREAT
AND SMALL, EXCEPT ONLY THE ESSENCE OF THAT ONE, TRUE, NECESSARILY SELF=EXISTENT,
 HIGH AND POWERFUL BEING.
1091-EO/1708:014(072) NOW WHEN HE WAS ASSUR'D THAT THE UTMOST BOUND OF ALL HIS D
ESIRES CONSISTED IN THIS THIRD CONFORMITY, AND THAT IT WAS NOT TO BE ATTAIN'D, W
ITHOUT BEING A LONG TIME EXERCIS'D IN THE SECOND; AND THAT THERE WAS NO CONTINUI
NG SO LONG AS WAS NECESSARY FOR THAT PURPOSE, BUT BY MEANS OF THE FIRST; (WHICH,
 HOW NECESSARY SOEVER, HE KNEW WAS AN HINDRANCE IN ITSELF, AND AN HELP ONLY BY A
CCIDENT).
1092-EO/1708:015(027) HE RESOLVED TO ALLOW HIMSELF NO MORE OF THAT FIRST CONFORM
ITY THAN NEEDS MUST, WHICH WAS ONLY JUST SO MUCH AS WOULD KEEP THE ANIMAL SPIRIT
 ALIVE.
1093-EO/1708:016(132) NOW, IN ORDER TO THIS, HE FOUND THERE WERE TWO THINGS NECE
SSARY; THE FORMER, TO HELP IT INWARDLY, AND SUPPLY THE DEFECT OF THAT NOURISHMEN
T WHICH WAS WASTED; THE LATTER, TO PRESERVE IT FROM WITHOUT, AGAINST THE EXTREMI
TIES OF HEAT AND COLD, RAIN AND SUN, HURTFUL ANIMALS, AND SUCH LIKE; AND HE PERC
EIV'D, THAT IF HE SHOULD ALLOW HIMSELF TO USE THESE THINGS, THOUGH NECESSARY, UN
ADVISEDLY AND AT ADVENTURE, IT MIGHT CHANCE TO EXPOSE HIM TO EXCESS, AND BY THAT
 MEANS HE MIGHT DO HIMSELF AN INJURY UNAWARES; WHEREUPON HE CONCLUDED IT THE SAF
EST WAY TO SET BOUNDS TO HIMSELF, WHICH HE RESOLV'D NOT TO PASS; BOTH AS TO THE
KIND OF MEAT WHICH HE WAS TO EAT, AND THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF IT, AND THE TI
MES OF RETURNING TO IT.
1094-ES/1709:001(058) HE FOUND GREAT FAULT, THAT SUCH COMPANIES OF VIRGINS AND M
ONKS, SHUT UP TO CELEBRATE THE GLORY OF $GOD, AND DEFEND THE CHASTITY OF THEIR B
ODIES, WERE SENT FORTH BY US, AND EXPOSED TO LUSTS AND ALL LICENTIOUSNESS OF LIF
E: AND THEIR HOUSES DISPOSED OF FOR GAIN; AND THAT LAWS WERE MADE, THAT RELIGION
 SHOULD NOT HINDER LUST.
1095-ES/1709:002(017) $HADDON FREELY CONFESSED THOSE DENS OF WICKEDNESS WERE DEM
OLISHED, BY THE GOOD ADVICES OF SOME AMONG US.
1096-ES/1709:003(026) INTO WHICH PLACES TENDER MAIDS WERE THRUST, AND POOR BOYS,
 WITH SO GREAT A VIOLATION OF MANNERS, AS HIS MODESTY WOULD NOT SUFFER HIM TO DE
CLARE.
1097-ES/1709:004(034) THAT THOSE WORKSHOPS OF WICKEDNESS HAD ALMOST NOTHING ELSE
, BY PHARISAICAL DAILY PRAYERS IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE; THE REST OF THE THINGS PERF
ORMED THERE WITHIN MIGHT BE RESEMBLED TO THE OLD BACCHANALIA OF $ROME.
1098-ES/1709:005(042) AND THAT THEREFORE $GOD HAD STIRRED UP THE MINDS OF OUR PE
OPLE, WHO PIOUSLY ADVISED, THAT SUCH NUMEROUS COMPANIES SKULKING IN MOST CORRUPT
 CORNERS SHOULD BE CALLED OUT, FROM VICES TO VIRTUE, FROM COPULATIONS NOT FIT TO
 BE SPOKEN TO HONEST WEDLOCK.
1099-ES/1709:006(012) AND THE HOUSES WERE DISPOSED TO THE USE OF SCHOOLS, UNIVER
SITIES, HOSPITALS.
1100-ES/1709:007(017) AND IT WAS PROVIDED BY LAWS THAT THE SOWS SHOULD NOT AGAIN
 WALLOW IN SUCH FILTHY MIRE.
1101-ES/1709:008(035) THIS, HE ADDED, WAS A GREAT AND EXTRAORDINARY FAVOUR OF $G
OD; WHEREBY MORE WERE DRAWN OUT OF THE DARK KINGDOM OF THE DEVIL, THAN BY ALL TH
E LITTLE CONSTITUTIONS OF THE POPISH CHURCH HEAPED TOGETHER.
1102-ES/1709:009(036) $OSORIUS THEN LAMENTED THE TAKING AWAY OF IMAGES AND PICTU
RES, AND SUCH LIKE MONUMENTS OUT OF THE CHURCHES; WHICH BEING GONE, THERE REMAIN
ED NOTHING WHEREBY THE MIND MIGHT BE RAISED TO THE MEDITATION OF DIVINE THINGS.

1103-ES/1709:010(029) BUT REPLIED $HADDON, OUR NATION, REMEMBERING THE BLINDNESS
 OF THE LATE TIMES, WAS MUCH AFRAID OF THE FRENZIES OF IDOLATRY: AGAINST WHICH T
HERE WAS AN EXPRESS COMMAND OF $GOD.
1104-ES/1709:011(009) AND THE GOSPEL BAD US TAKE HEED OF IDOLS.
1105-ES/1709:012(057) BUT THOUGH THIS FEAR WERE NOT, YET THE DOCTRINE OF OUR LOR
D $JESUS_CHRIST OUGHT TO HAVE THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY AMONG $CHRISTIAN MEN: WHEREB
Y IT WAS PRONOUNCED THAT $GOD IS A SPIRIT: AND THEY OBSERVE THE RIGHT MANNER OF
PRAYING TO HIM, WHO WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: AND THAT $GOD THE FATHER
 SOUGHT SUCH WORSHIPPERS.
1106-ES/1709:013(031) AND THAT THIS WAS THE SAFE MANNER OF PRAYING, IF WE WEIGHE
D WHENCE IT CAME, (IE FROM THE INWARD MAN) AND WHITHER IT OUGHT TO RETURN (IE TO
 ALMIGHTY $GOD ALONE).
1107-ES/1709:014(019) NOR DID PRAYER WANT THE HELP OF OUTWARD THINGS, BY WHICH I
T MIGHT ASCEND TO THE THRONE OF $GOD.
1108-ES/1709:015(043) YEA, THAT OUR OUTWARD MAN WHILE IT WAS TOO MUCH BUSIED IN
THESE SHADOWS OF HOLY THINGS, THE INWARD SENSE OF THE MIND GREW COLD: AND TAKING
 IN THE UNWHOLESOME NUTRIMENT OF A TOO GAUDY RELIGION, LOST THE TRUE FRUIT OF CE
LESTIAL MEDITATION.
1109-ES/1709:016(063) HE SAID, MOREOVER, THAT THE ANTIENT CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES
 AND MARTYRS HAD NOTHING OF THESE MONUMENTS; BUT IN THE DECLINING OF SINCERE REL
IGION, PICTURES BY LITTLE AND LITTLE CREPT IN: AND THAT FORMER HEAT OF RELIGION
GLOWING IN MEN'S MINDS, GREW LANGUID: AND AT LAST A DEGENERATE SCHOOL=DIVINITY,
DEFORMED WITH SUPERSTITION, CAME IN: AND PRESENTLY ALL WAS STUFFED WITH PICTURES
 AND IMAGES.
1110-ES/1709:017(019) AND THAT OUTWARD VENERATION OF THEM, WHEN IN ALL PLACES IT
 ENCREASED, THE INWARD WORSHIP OF $GOD FELL OFF.
1111-ES/1709:018(021) $OSORIUS GOES ON, AND WRITES, THAT IN SHORT ALL SACRED THI
NGS, CEREMONIES AND SACRAMENTS WERE OVERTHROWN FROM THE FOUNDATION BY US.
1112-ES/1709:019(033) $HADDON SMARTLY ANSWERED, THIS WAS TOO IMPUDENT AN HYPERBO
LE: AND PROCEEDED TO SHEW, HOW FALSE THIS IMPUTATION WAS, BY GIVING ACCOUNT BRIE
FLY OF THE DIVINE WORSHIP AND OBSERVANCE OF RITES IN THIS NATION.
1113-ES/1709:020(043) AND FIRST, BECAUSE FAITH CAME BY HEARING, WE HAD TEACHERS
OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES SENT FORTH TO ALL THE BORDERS OF OUR COUNTRY TO INSTRUCT
THE COMMON PEOPLE IN ALL THE OFFICES OF PIETY, AND TO TEACH THEM THE TRUE WORSHI
P OF $GOD.
1114-ES/1709:021(079) THEN WE HAD A PUBLICK FORM OF PRAYER, COLLECTED OUT OF THE
 SCRIPTURES; STRENGHTHENED BY AUTHORITY OF $PARLIAMENT, (SO WE CALL THE CONSENT
OF THE THREE ESTATES OF THIS REALM) WHENCE WE DID NOT SUFFER ANY TO DEPART, PROV
IDING IN BOTH AS WELL AS WE COULD, THAT THE COMMAND OF THE HOLY GHOST BE OBEYED,
 THAT FAITH, THAT HE THAT SPEAKETH IN THE CHURCH SHOULD USE THE WORDS OF $GOD IN
 IT; AND THEN, THAT ALL AGREE IN ONE.
1115-ES/1709:022(039) FURTHER, THAT WE TOOK CARE THAT THE SACRAMENTS WERE, AS NE
AR AS MIGHT BE, ADMINISTERED ACCORDING TO THE PRECEPT OF HOLY SCRIPTURE, AND THE
 EXAMPLE OF THE ANTIENT CHURCH, AS OUR LORD $JESUS_CHRIST HIMSELF WITH HIS APOST
LES INSTITUTED THEM.
1116-ES/1709:023(010) THAT ALL THESE THINGS WERE PROPOUNDED IN OUR OWN TONGUE.
1117-ES/1709:024(038) BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A GREAT MADNESS TO BLATTER OUT THAT BE
FORE $GOD WHICH ONE KNOWS NOT WHAT IT IS: AND WHICH OPPOSED MANIFESTLY THAT WHOL
ESOME DOCTRINE OF ST $PAUL, WITH ALL THE ANTIENT EXAMPLES OF APOSTOLICAL CHURCHE
S.
1118-ES/1709:025(044) FURTHERMORE, THAT WE PERFORMED THE IMPOSITION OF HANDS, TH
E CELEBRATION OF WEDLOCK, THE BRINGING OF WOMEN LATELY DELIVERED OF CHILD TO CHU
RCH, THE VISITATION OF THE SICK, THE BURIAL OF THE DEAD, WITH SOLEMN AND PUBLICK
 OFFICES, COMPOSED ACCORDING TO THE TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE.
1119-ES/1709:026(029) AND TO THESE WE ADDED SO MUCH OF CEREMONY, THAT ALL THINGS
 WERE DONE IN THE CHURCH CONVENIENTLY AND IN ORDER, AS WE KNEW WE WERE ADMONISHE
D TO DO.
1120-ES/1709:027(017) THAT OF TIMES, PLACES, DAYS, AND OTHER CIRCUMSTANCES, THER
E WAS IN EFFECT NO CHANGE MADE WITH US.
1121-ES/1709:028(022) NOR IN THE WHOLE OF OUR RELIGION WAS THERE ANY THING NEW,
UNLESS WHAT BEFORE HAD EITHER EVIDENT ABSURDITY, OR EXPRESS IMPIETY.
1122-ES/1709:029(064) SO THAT (WHATSOEVER THE OTHER HAD MOST RASHLY AND FALSLY A
FFIRMED) OUR CHURCH WAS NOT SPOILED, NEITHER OF HOLY THINGS, NOR SACRAMENTS NOR
CEREMONIES: BUT IN EVERY KIND SO MUCH WAS KEPT, THAT HE WOULD TREAT US TOO INJUR
IOUSLY, WHO SHOULD SLANDEROUSLY GIVE OUT, THAT THERE WAS NOTHING OF THESE REMAIN
ED, WHEN NOTHING OF THEM WAS WANTING, NEEDFUL TO THE TRUE WORSHIP OF $GOD.
1123-ES/1709:030(017) ANOTHER CHARGE OF $OSORIUS UPON US WAS, THAT WE HAD SHAKEN
 OFF THE YOKE OF THE POPE.
1124-ES/1709:031(015) TRUE, SAID $HADDON: FOR IT WAS TOO HEAVY FOR US OR OUR FAT
HERS TO BEAR.
1125-ES/1709:032(020) NOR DID WE ACKNOWLEDGE ANY SUPERIOR BISHOP UNLESS OUR LORD
 $JESUS_CHRIST, TO WHOM THE HOLY SCRIPTURE ASSIGNED THIS PECULIAR HONOUR.
1126-ES/1709:033(021) NOR DID WE REND $CHRIST'S COAT, AS $OSORIUS HAD SAID; BUT
WE ONLY PICKED A HOLE IN THE $ROMAN BISHOP'S CLOAK.
1127-ES/1709:034(039) NEITHER OPENED WE A WAY TO SEDITION BY CASTING OFF THE POP
E, AS HE HAD SAID, BUT WE SHUT UP THE WAY THAT LED DOWN TO THE GREATEST PERVERSE
NESS OF MANNERS, BY THE MEANS OF HIS LICENTIOUS LEADEN BULLS.
1128-ES/1709:035(028) $OSORIUS THEN FELL UPON THE MANNERS OF THE PEOPLE OF $ENGL
AND, REPROVED THEIR PRIDE, THEIR IMPUDENCE; TO WHICH HE JOINED THEIR ROBBERIES,
CONSPIRACIES AND ALL MANNER OF WICKEDNESS.
1129-ES/1709:036(033) AND THAT THE FORMER WHOLESOME DISCIPLINE WAS WONT TO CORRE
CT MEN'S MANNERS; BUT THAT IN OUR TIMES WAS GONE, AND THEREFORE THAT DIVINITY TH
AT WAS VOID OF GOOD FRUIT OUGHT TO BE REJECTED.
1130-ES/1709:037(018) BUT $HADDON ANSWERED, THAT THIS WAS FALSE WHICH HE HAD TAK
EN UP CONCERNING THE PERVERSENESS OF OUR PEOPLE.
1131-ES/1709:038(013) AND WERE IT TRUE, HE COULD NEVER MAKE OUT WHAT HE COLLECTE
D THENCE.
1132-ES/1709:039(008) TARES HAD ALWAYS BEEN MIXED WITH THE HARVEST.
1133-ES/1709:040(023) HE LED $OSORIUS HOME TO HIS OWN CHURCH, AND DEMANDED OF HI
M, IF THEY OF HIS COMMUNION WERE NOT GUILTY OF SINS ENOUGH.
1134-ES/1709:041(030) AND THAT THEREFORE HE MIGHT THROW AWAY HIS ARGUMENT; WHICH
 WAS EITHER OF NO FORCE, OR WAS OF EQUAL FORCE AGAINST HIM AND HIS OWN CHURCH: N
AY OF MORE FORCE.
1135-ES/1709:042(027) FOR IF OUR PEOPLE WERE TO BE COMPARED WITH THEIRS, OR OUR
DOCTRINE WITH THEIRS, WE WERE READY TO MAKE THE COMPARISON AS SOON AS HE WOULD.

1136-ES/1709:043(023) THAT AS FOR OUR DOCTRINE, HE MIGHT MOST TRULY DEFEND IT TO
 BE THE SAME WITH THE APOSTLES, DERIVED FROM THE GOSPEL ITSELF.
1137-ES/1709:044(032) HE REQUIRED, $OSORIUS TO SHEW HIM HIS CHURCH, AND DESIRED
THIS MIGHT BE THE CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THEM, WHETHER CHURCH WAS NEARER TO THE APO
STLES IN SINCERITY OF MANNERS, AND TRUTH OF DOCTRINE.
1138-ES/1709:045(015) AND IF HE WOULD ACCEPT OF THIS CHALLENGE, HE WOULD PRESENT
LY JOIN ISSUE WITH HIM.
1139-ES/1709:046(015) THEN $OSORIUS FALLS TO EXCLAIMING AGAINST OUR GOSPEL, UTTE
RING ALL MANNER OF EVIL SPEAKING HERE.
1140-ES/1709:047(035) BUT $HADDON BAD HIM ROAR AS MUCH AS HE WOULD OR COULD, YET
 HE SHOULD NEVER EFFECT IT, BUT THAT THE TRUTH OF THE ANTIENT AND PURE GOSPEL WO
ULD BE PREACHED TO ALL BY US.
1141-ES/1709:048(089) AND THAT WHEN WE SHOULD COME TO STAND BEFORE THE DREADFUL
TRIBUNAL OF $CHRIST THE JUDGE, AND AN ACCOUNT REQUIRED OF OUR FAITH, IT WOULD NO
T BE OUT OF THE DECREES AND DECRETALS WHICH $OSORIUS SO VEHEMENTLY EMBRACED, NOR
 OUT OF THE $JULIANS AND $BONIFACIANS, IN WHOSE AUTHORITY THEIR PEOPLE ACQUIESCE
D; BUT OUT OF THIS VERY GOSPEL, WHICH HE HAD SO PLEASANTLY DERIDED: THE GOSPEL,
WHICH THEIR CHURCH HAD BURIED SO LONG, BUT WAS RESTORED PUBLICKLY FROM HEAVEN BY
 THE INTERVENTION OF SOME OF OUR PIOUS AND LEARNED MEN.
1142-ES/1709:049(038) HE SHEWED FURTHER, HOW THE PEOPLE OF $OSORIUS'S CHURCH HAD
, INSTEAD OF THE GOSPEL, SOME SERMONS PREACHED BY FRIARS, WHO MADE DECLAMATIONS
TO THE PEOPLE AFTER THEIR MANNER AT CERTAIN TIMES, AND AT ALL OTHER TIMES WERE S
ILENT.
1143-ES/1709:050(027) AND FOR THE MOST PART THEY USED SUCH TEDIOUS AND TRITE FOR
MS OF EXHORTATIONS, AS MIGHT INVITE THE AUDITORS TO SLEEP, RATHER THAN REGARD WH
AT WAS SAID.
1144-ES/1709:051(030) IN THE HOLY THINGS AND THE SACRAMENTS THE PEOPLE ENJOYED T
HEIR EASE; NOTHING FOR THEM TO DO, AND THE PRIESTS PERFORMED THE WHOLE BUSINESS
BY THEMSELVES IN AN UNKNOWN TONGUE.
1145-ES/1709:052(031) THEY WENT TO MASS, WHEREIN THEY WOULD HAVE THE VERY SUBSTA
NCE OF RELIGION PLACED: THE PRIESTS INDEED WERE VERY BUSY, BUT THE PEOPLE HAD NO
 PART THEREIN BUT TO LOOK ON.
1146-ES/1709:053(022) NOR DID THE GOSPEL IN THE MEAN TIME COME IN, TO TROUBLE TH
EM, AND ALL EXHORTATIONS OUT OF IT WERE WHOLLY SILENT.
1147-ES/1709:054(020) ONCE PERHAPS IN A YEAR THEY WENT TO THE LORD'S TABLE, MORE
 IN SOLEMN CEREMONY, THAN IN A CONTRITE HEART.
1148-ES/1709:055(021) NOR WAS THAT DONE WHICH THE INSTITUTION OF OUR LORD $JESUS
_CHRIST REQUIRED, THAT HIS DEATH BE SHEWED FORTH UNTIL HE CAME.
1149-ES/1709:056(018) AGAIN, HOW MUCH SOEVER THE PEOPLE DEFILED THEMSELVES WITH
SINS, THERE WAS NO PUBLIC MEDICINE OF SOULS APPLIED.
1150-ES/1709:057(010) THEY TRANSACTED ALL PRIVATELY BY WHISPERS IN THE PRIESTS E
ARS.
1151-ES/1709:058(018) AND IF THE IMPIETY WERE OF A GREATER SIZE, IT WAS REDEEMED
 BY LEAD, (IE THE POPES BULL).
1152-ES/1709:059(036) SUCH A VARIOUS, MANIFOLD AND VAST PROVISION OF CEREMONIES,
 THAT A GREATER OUTWARD PLEASURE OF THE SENSES COULD SCARCE BE INVENTED, WHILE T
HE AMENDING THE INWARD TEMPER OF THE MIND WAS LITTLE OR NOTHING AT ALL.
1153-ES/1709:060(005) AND THIS WAS THEIR SERVICE.
1154-ES/1709:061(015) THEN $HADDON WENT ON TO SHEW WHAT OUR DIVINE SERVICE WHO P
ROFESSED THE GOSPEL, WAS.
1155-ES/1709:062(036) FIRST, THERE WERE AMONG US CONSTANT SERMONS GROUNDED UPON
THE GOSPEL: THE AUTHORITY WHEREOF EITHER BRAKE THE STUBBORNNESS OF SIN BY THE TE
RRORS OF THE LAW, OR ALLURED TO VERTUE BY THE GREATNESS OF THE PROMISES.
1156-ES/1709:063(054) AND IN CASE ANY MEN NEGLECTED, OR CARED NOT FOR THESE SPIR
ITUAL THINGS, THE MAGISTRATES CAUSED THEM TO BE PRESENT AT THE HOLY SERVICES; WH
EREIN THEY HEARD NOT SO MUCH THE INTERPRETATIONS OF MEN, AS OPENLY PERCEIVED $GO
D AND $CHRIST SOMETIMES THUNDERING OUT THREATENINGS AGAINST THEIR SINS, AND SOME
TIMES OFFERING THEIR TREASURES OF MERCY.
1157-ES/1709:064(021) THESE RECITATIONS OF THE PRAYERS WERE ACCOMPANIED WITH VAR
IETY OF PSALMS, HYMNS, AND LESSONS OUT OF THE BOOKS OF BOTH TESTAMENTS.
1158-ES/1709:065(028) SO THAT HE MUST NEEDS BE A MOST UNHAPPY MAN, THAT COULD RE
AP NO PRIVATE BENEFIT TO HIMSELF, WHEN THE WORD OF $GOD SOUNDED SO MUCH ABOUT HI
M.
1159-ES/1709:066(019) THEN FOLLOWED THE SACRAMENT OF THE HOLY TABLE OF THE LORD,
 WHICH WAS CONSTANTLY USED ON THE FESTIVAL DAYS.
1160-ES/1709:067(020) THE MINISTER OF $GOD CALLED ALL PUBLICKLY TO COME FORTH, W
HO HAD AGREEABLY PREPARED THEMSELVES FOR SO DIVINE A BANQUET.
1161-ES/1709:068(055) SOME CAME FORTH, AND KNEELED HUMBLY UPON THEIR KNEES, BEIN
G ALONE BY THEMSELVES, AND LEFT IN THE MIDST OF THE CHURCH, AND WHEN IT WAS DUE
TIME, THEY, IN THE EYES AND EARS OF ALL, DID OPENLY DECLARE THEIR ABHORRENCE OF
THE NAUGHTINESS OF THEIR LIVES; AND WITH ONE VOICE BEG $GOD'S PITY AND FORGIVENE
SS.
1162-ES/1709:069(023) THE MINISTER BESPAKE THEM WITH CHOSEN PLACES OF SCRIPTURE,
 PARTLY DECLARING THREATENINGS AGAINST SIN, AND PARTLY OPENING THE ABUNDANT FOUN
TAINS OF $GOD'S MERCY.
1163-ES/1709:070(026) SO THAT THOSE WHO WERE TO PARTAKE OF THE HOLY TABLE DID OF
TEN TREMBLE; AND AFTER BEING REFRESHED WITH THE HOPE OF PARDON, WERE REVIVED AGA
IN.
1164-ES/1709:071(041) SUCH AS HAD GIVEN A DANGEROUS EXAMPLE, EITHER BY SLANDERIN
G OF OTHERS, OR BY SOME PROFLIGATE DEED, WERE STRUCK WITH ANATHEMA, (IE EXCOMMUN
ICATED) THAT SHAME AND SHUTTING THEM OUT OF COMMUNION, WITH OTHERS, MIGHT CALL T
HEM BACK TO THEIR DUTY AGAIN.
1165-ES/1709:072(025) THUS $HADDON LAID THE MATTER OPEN IN PARTICULARS, FOR EVER
Y ONE TO JUDGE WHICH OF THE TWO FORMS OF RELIGIOUS SERVICES TENDED MOST TO EDIFI
CATION.
1166-ES/1709:073(032) HE ADDED ONE THING FURTHER, THAT THERE WAS MORE OF SIGHS A
ND GROANS IN ONE ACCESS OF OURS TO THE TABLE OF THE LORD, THAN IN SIX HUNDRED OF
 THEIR SOLEMN MASSES.
1167-EK/1710:001(070) THE GOD $APOLLO WAS MOST FAMOUS FOR DIVINATION AND PROPHEC
Y, AND THEREFORE WAS HAD IN THE GREATEST HONOUR AMONGST ALL NATIONS, BEING INSTR
UCTED IN THAT ART BY $PAN, THE SON OF $JUPITER, AND THE NYMPH $THYMBRIS; HE WENT
 TO $DELPHOS, WHERE $THEMIS AT THAT TIME GAVE HER ANSWERS; BUT WHEN THE SERPENT
$PYTHO HINDRED HIM FROM COMING TO THE CAVERN, $APOLLO SLEW HIM, AND SO POSSESS'D
 HIMSELF OF THE ORACLE.
1168-EK/1710:002(053) THE CITY $DELPHOS LIES IN $BOEOTIA, AND IS SUPPOS'D TO BE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WORLD; FOR WHEN $JUPITER SENT FORTH TWO EAGLES AT THE SAME
TIME, ONE FROM THE EAST, THE OTHER FROM THE WEST, THEY BOTH MET AT THAT PLACE EX
ACTLY, IN MEMORY WHEREOF A GOLDEN EAGLE WAS THERE DEPOSITED.
1169-EK/1710:003(023) HERE $APOLLO HAD THE MOST CELEBRATED AND RICHEST TEMPLE IN
 $GREECE; FOR ALL NATIONS VIED WITH ONE ANOTHER IN SENDING EXTRAORDINARY PRESENT
S THITHER.
1170-EK/1710:004(042) $CROESUS, THE RICH KING OF $LYDIA, GAVE A THOUSAND INGOTS
OF GOLD TO MAKE AN ALTAR THERE; AND $PHALARIS, THE TYRANT OF $AGRIGENTUM, MADE A
 PRESENT OF A BRAZEN BULL, WHICH WAS A MASTERPIECE OF ART, AND A TESTIMONY OF HI
S PIETY.
1171-EK/1710:005(049) THE ANSWERS WHICH $APOLLO GAVE HERE WERE SUPPOS'D TO BE RE
CEIV'D BY HIM FROM $JUPITER; THEY WERE DELIVER'D BY A VIRGIN CALL'D $PYTHIA OR $
PHOEBUS, WHO WAS PLAC'D UPON A VESSEL OR STOOL WITH THREE FEET, CALL'D ALSO CORT
INA, FROM THE SKIN OF PYTHON, WITH WHICH IT WAS COVER'D.
1172-EK/1710:006(015) OPINIONS DIFFER AS TO THE MANNER HOW THIS WOMAN UNDERSTOOD
 THE MINDS OF THE GODS.
1173-EK/1710:007(022) $TULLY SUPPOSES, THAT SOME VAPOURS EXHAL'D OUT OF THE EART
H AND AFFECTED HER BRAIN, AND RAIS'D IN IT A POWER OF DIVINATION.
1174-EK/1710:008(024) $NEPTUNE, ACCORDING TO SOME AUTHORS, WAS POSSEST OF $DELPH
OS, AND $APOLLO GAVE ANSWERS IN $CALABRIA, TILL A MUTUAL EXCHANGE WAS AGREED OF
BETWEEN THEM.
1175-EK/1710:009(037) $APOLLO WAS WORSHIPP'D WITH GREAT VENERATION BY THE $FALIS
CI, IN A MOUNTAIN CALL'D $SORACTE, WHERE HIS PRIESTS WERE OF THAT SANCTITY AND P
URITY OF LIFE, THAT THEY COULD WALK UPON BURNING COALS WITHOUT BEING HURT BY THE
M.
1176-EK/1710:010(207) THE $ROMANS BUILT HIM MANY TEMPLES; BUT $AUGUSTUS, AFTER T
HE VICTORY OF $ACTIUM WHICH HE OBTAIN'D OVER $ANTONY AND $CLEOPATRA QUEEN OF $EG
YPT, OUT OF GRATITUDE TO THIS DEITY THAT HE HAD ADDRESS'D HIMSELF TO IN THE BEGI
NNING OF THE FIGHT, FIRST BUILT HIM A CHAPEL UPON THE PROMONTORY OF $ACTIUM, AND
 RENEW'D THE SOLEMN GAMES TO HIM; AND THEN RAIS'D HIM AS A TEMPLE UPON THE MOUNT
 $PALATINE IN $ROME, WHOSE STRUCTURE AND MAGNIFICENCE WERE ALMOST INCREDIBLE: IT
 WAS ALL OF MARBLE FROM $CLAROS, WITH DIVERS MATERIALS BOTH WITHIN AND WITHOUT,
WHICH WERE MUCH MORE COSTLY: THERE WAS A SPACIOUS PORTICO FOR THE HOLDING A LIBR
ARY OF $GREEK AND $LATIN AUTHORS; IN THE PLACE BEFORE THE TEMPLE WERE FOUR COWS
OF BRASS, REPRESENTING THE DAUGHTERS OF $PRAETUS KING OF $ARGUS, WHO WERE CHANG'
D INTO THAT SHAPE FOR CONTENDING WITH $JUNO FOR BEAUTY, DONE BY THE HAND OF $MYR
ON; THE GATES WERE OF IVORY, ENRICH'D WITH MUCH CARVING; IN THE FRONTISPIECE WAS
 THE CHARIOT OF THE SUN OF MASSY GOLD, WITH RAYS OF AS VIGOROUS LIGHT AS THE TRU
E ONES: AND WITHIN, BESIDES ADMIRABLE PAINTING, THERE WAS THE STATUE OF THE GOD
BY THE HAND OF $SCOPAS, WITH ANOTHER GIANT=LIKE FIGURE IN BRASS BEING FIFTY FOOT
 HIGH.
1177-EK/1710:011(018) IN SHORT, THERE WAS EVERY THING THAT BECAME THE GRATITUDE
OF SUCH AN EMPEROR TO SUCH A DEITY.
1178-EK/1710:012(091) $APOLLO, AS THE OTHER GODS, HAD A GREAT MANY TITLES FROM V
ARIOUS CAUSES: HE WAS CALL'D $PHOEBUS, FROM THE SPLENDOR OF HIS LIGHT; AND $DELI
US, FROM MAKING HIDDEN THINGS MANIFEST, OR ELSE FROM THE PLACE OF HIS BIRTH; AND
 $CYNTHIUS, FROM A MOUNTAIN IN THE SAME ISLAND; HE HAD THE NAME OF $PAEAN, FROM
STRIKING THE SERPENT WITH HIS DARTS, HIS MOTHER AND THE SPECTATORS ALL THE WHILE
 CRYING, <IO $PAEAN, STRIKE $PAEAN>, WHICH THEY AFTERWARDS CONTINU'D IN THE SONG
S OF TRIUMPH FOR THIS VICTORY, AND ALL OTHERS AFTER GREAT SUCCESS.
1179-EK/1710:013(017) AS HE IS THE SUN, HE IS LIKEWISE CALL'D $PAEAN, FROM STRIK
ING THE EARTH WITH HIS RAYS.
1180-EK/1710:014(049) THE PLACES WHERE HE WAS WORSHIPP'D WERE MANY; FROM ALL OR
MOST OF WHICH HE WAS DENOMINATED; AS $CRYSE, $TENEDOS, $CYLLA, AND $CLAROS, A CI
TY IN THE REGION OF $COLOPHON: HE WAS CALL'D $ALBAEUS, FROM A CITY IN $LYCIA: HE
 WAS WORSHIPPED LIKEWISE AT $MILETUS, AND AMONGST THE $MOEONIANS.
1181-EK/1710:015(041) FOR THE CONVENIENCY OF HIMSELF AND HIS PRIESTS, HE DELIVER
'D ORACLES AT $DELOS DURING SIX MONTHS OF THE SUMMER SEASON, AND AT $PATERIA IN
$LYCIA DURING THE OTHER HALF YEAR; AND UPON THE REMOVALS OF THE GOD THERE WERE G
REAT SOLEMNITIES.
1182-EK/1710:016(028) HE WAS CALL'D $NOMIUS AND $AGRAEUS, FROM FEEDING OF CATTLE
; $PUCTES, BECAUSE AT CUFFS HE KILL'D ONE $PHORBUS, A CRUEL ROBBER THAT HINDER'D
 THE ACCESS TO HIS TEMPLE.
1183-EK/1710:017(023) HE WAS CALL'D $DELPHINIUS, BECAUSE WHEN $CASTALIUS A $CRET
AN CARRY'D MEN INTO SEVERAL COLONIES, $APOLLO GUIDED HIM IN THE SHAPE OF A DOLPH
IN.
1184-EK/1710:018(041) THE $TYRIANS, BEING BESIEG'D BY $ALEXANDER, HAD BOUND THE
IMAGE OF $APOLLO WITH CHAINS OF GOLD; UPON THE CONQUEST OF THE CITY, THE CHAINS
WERE TAKEN AWAY, AND THE GOD WAS RELEAS'D, WHEREUPON HE WAS CALL'D $APOLLO_PHILA
XANDRUS, THE FRIEND OF $ALEXANDER.
1185-EK/1710:019(032) THE SACRIFICES HE MOST DELIGHTED IN WERE LAMBS, BULLS AND
OXEN, BUT THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER THINGS THAT WERE CONSECRATED TO HIM; THE CYPR
ESS TREE CAME TO BE SO UPON THIS OCCASION.
1186-EK/1710:020(068) $APOLLO WAS VERY MUCH PLEAS'D WITH THE FORWARDNESS OF A LA
D, CALLED $CYPARISSUS, WHO WHEN HE HAD UNFORTUNATELY KILLED A DEER THAT HAD BEEN
 BROUGHT UP WITH HIM, AND THAT HE THEREFORE LOVED EXCEEDINGLY, FELL INTO SUCH A
MELANCHOLY, THAT HE INCESSANTLY BEWAILED THE LOSS; $APOLLO, TO RETRIEVE HIM, CHA
NG'D HIM INTO A CYPRESS=TREE, AND ACCORDING TO HIS REQUEST, MADE HIM A CONSTANT
COMPANION OF MOURNING AND FUNERALS.
1187-EK/1710:021(022) THE CROW IS SACRED TO HIM FOR FORETELLING THE WEATHER, BY
A CLEAR OR HOARSE VOICE SHEWING THE DIFFERENT CHANGES OF IT.
1188-EK/1710:022(019) THE SWAN IS LIKEWISE ENDUED WITH DIVINATION, WHEN, FORESEE
ING HIS HAPPINESS IN DEATH, HE DIES WITH SINGING AND PLEASURE.
1189-EK/1710:023(045) THE WOLF IS NOT UNACCEPTABLE TO HIM, NOT ONLY BECAUSE HE S
PAR'D HIS FLOCKS WHEN HE WAS A SHEPHERD, BUT BECAUSE THE FURIOUSNESS OF HEAT IS
EXPRESS'D BY HIM, AND THE PERSPICUITY AND SHARPNESS OF HIS EYES ARE FITTEST TO R
EPRESENT THE FORESIGHT OF PROPHECY.
1190-EK/1710:024(131) IT IS REMARKABLE, THAT MOST OF THE THINGS $APOLLO DELIGHTE
D IN, DEPENDED UPON THE SUN, OR BORE SOME RESEMBLANCE TO IT; THE PALM AND OLIVE
TREE, UNDER WHOSE SHELTER HE WAS BORN, ALWAYS GROW IN WARM COUNTRIES, AND THEIR
FRUIT CANNOT BE DISTANT FROM THE SUN; THE LAUREL TREE IS OF A HOT NATURE, ALWAYS
 FLOURISHING, AND CONDUCING TO DIVINATION AND POETICK RAPTURES, AND THE LEAVES O
F IT PUT UNDER THE PILLOW, PRODUCE TRUE DREAMS; THE JUNIPER, WHOSE BRANCHES AND
BERRIES WERE US'D BY THE $SYTHIANS IN THEIR MYSTERIES, IS OF AN EXTRAORDINARY HO
T NATURE; THE HAWK HAS EYES AS FIERCE AS THE SUN, THE COCK FORETELLS HIS RISING,
 AND THE GRASSHOPPERS HAVE THEIR RISE AND SUBSISTANCE FROM HIM; AND LASTLY, THE
BULL REPRESENTS HIM IN HIS FULL HEAT AND FURY.
1191-EK/1710:025(037) IN ANCIENT TIMES THE YOUNG MEN THAT NOURISH'D LONG HAIR, W
HEN THEY BEGAN TO HAVE BEARDS, US'D TO DEPOSIT THEIR LOCKS AS SACRED TO $APOLLO
IN HIS TEMPLE, AND SO THE VIRGINS DID THEIR GIRDLES TO $DIANA.
1192-EK/1710:026(030) $APOLLO WAS OFTEN SENSIBLE OF THE PASSION OF LOVE, AND TRA
NSFORM'D HIMSELF INTO VARIOUS SHAPES TO ACCOMPLISH HIS AMOURS, AS INTO THOSE OF
A STAG, A HAWK, AND A LION.
1193-EK/1710:027(049) HE PASS'D SOME TIME WITH $VENUS IN THE ISLAND OF $RHODES,
AND DURING THEIR STAY THERE, IT RAIN'D GOLD, AND THE EARTH WAS CLOTHED WITH LILL
IES AND ROSES, FROM WHICH LAST FLOWER THE ISLAND TOOK ITS NAME, OR RATHER FROM T
HE NYMPH $RHODIA, WHO WAS LIKEWISE BELOV'D BY HIM.
1194-EK/1710:028(065) HE SEEM'D TO DELIGHT IN THAT PLACE MORE THAN IN ANY OTHER
PART OF THE EARTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO DAY SO VERY DARK OR CLOUDY, BUT THAT THE
SUN APPEARS TO THE INHABITANTS; THE $RHODIANS DEDICATED TO HIM A COLOSSUS OF BRA
SS OF EIGHT HUNDRED FEET IN HEIGHT, AND OF A PROPORTIONATE BIGNESS, WHICH WAS RE
PUTED ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD.
1195-EK/1710:029(085) HE FELL IN LOVE WITH $DAPHNE, WHO PREFERR'D A YOUTH CALL'D
 $LEUCIPPUS BEFORE HIM; $APOLLO ENVYING HIS HAPPINESS, INSPIR'D HIM WITH THE THO
UGHT OF PUTTING ON THE HABIT OF A VIRGIN, AND SO ACCOMPANYING WITH THE NYMPHS, T
HEY WOULD HAVE HIM BATHE WITH THEM IN THE RIVER $LADON; HE OBSTINATELY REFUS'D,
AND WAS THEREUPON DISCOVER'D BY THEM, AND STABB'D TO THE HEART WITH MANY DAGGERS
; $APOLLO AFTERWARDS PURSU'D THE NYMPH, WHO, TO AVOID HIM, BY HER PRAYERS TO THE
 GODS, WAS TURN'D INTO A LAUREL.
1196-EK/1710:030(039) THE NYMPH $BOLINA CHOSE RATHER TO THROW HER SELF INTO THE
OCEAN THAN UPON HIS IMPORTUNITIES TO LOSE HER VIRGINITY, UPON WHICH $APOLLO REND
RED HER IMMORTAL; HE HAD THE SAME PASSION FOR $CASTALIA; BUT SHE VANISH'D INTO A
 FOUNTAIN.
1197-EK/1710:031(102) BEING ENAMOUR'D WITH $LEUCOTHOE THE DAUGHTER OF $ORCAMUS K
ING OF $BABYLON, HE CAME INTO HER CHAMBER IN THE SHAPE OF HER MOTHER $EURYNOME;
HER SISTER $CLYTIE BEING JEALOUS, ACQUAINTED HER FATHER WITH IT, WHO WAS SO ENRA
G'D, THAT HE ORDER'D $LEUCOTHOE TO BE BURIED ALIVE; BUT $APOLLO TOOK PITY OF HER
, AND CHANG'D HER INTO A TREE THAT DROPS FRANKINCENSE; FOR THIS FACT HE UTTERLY
DESERTED $CLYTIE, WHO PIN'D AWAY WITH HER EYES CONTINUALLY LOOKING UP TO THE SUN
, TILL SHE WAS TURN'D INTO A FLOWER CALL'D THE HELIOTROPE, THAT MOVES ITSELF ALW
AYS ON THE SIDE HE IS OF, TO SEE HIM.
1198-EK/1710:032(094) THEY WHO PRETEND TO TURN SUCH MATTERS TO TRUE HISTORY TELL
 US, THAT $APOLLO WAS KING OF THE $ARCADIANS, WHO, FOR RULING TOO SEVERELY, WAS
DEPOS'D FROM THAT DIGNITY, AND FORC'D TO LIVE A PRIVATE LIFE; WHEREUPON HE FLED
TO $ADMETUS KING OF $THESSALY, WHO GAVE HIM THE COMMAND OF THE COUNTRY LYING ABO
UT THE RIVER $AMPHRYSUS, AND HE WAS NO OTHERWISE A SHEPHERD, THAN AS KINGS AMONG
ST THE ANCIENTS WERE SAID TO BE THE SHEPHERDS OF THEIR PEOPLE, AND IN THAT STATE
 INDEED, ALTHOUGH HE WAS HIS FRIEND, HE WAS INFERIOR TO $ADMETUS.
1199-FM/1710:001(061) SHE HAD TAKEN CARE TO DRESS HER FAIR HAIR AND COMPLECTION,
 IN ALL THE HEIGHTNINGS OF GRACEFUL MOURNING; SO THAT RAISING HER CYPRESS=VEIL,
THE PRINCE WAS STRUCK WITH THE LUSTRE OF HER EYES, AND THE GLOSS OF HER SKIN: HA
VING NOT SEEN, OR SCARCE THOUGHT OF HER, IN SO LONG A TIME, SHE APPEAR'D ALMOST
AS A NEW FACE TO HIM.
1200-FM/1710:002(056) SHE SAW WITH PLEASURE THE DELIGHTFUL BLUSH THAT FLUSH'D IN
TO HIS CHEEKS; BUT NOT TO LOSE A MOMENT MORE THAN NEEDED OF THAT TIME, WHICH WAS
 SO PRECIOUS, I HOPE, SAID SHE, YOUR HIGHNESS WILL FORGIVE ME, FOR BREAKING YOUR
 LAST, BUT CRUEL COMMANDS; NOTHING BUT THE CONCERN OF YOUR OWN HONOUR COU'D HAVE
 INDUCED ME.
1201-FM/1710:003(065) THE PRINCESS $ANNAGILDA IS UNFAITHFUL, SHE IS NOW IN THE M
OST CRIMINAL CIRCUMSTANCES WITH COUNT $ALARICK, WITH WHOM SHE HAD AN INTRIGUE, A
S ALL THE $DACIANS KNOW, BEFORE HER MARRIAGE; IF YOU DARE BE CONVINC'D, DO NOT S
TAY TO HESITATE, BUT FOLLOW ME WITHOUT NOISE TO THE SCENE OF THEIR GUILTY JOYS,
WHERE YOU SHALL FIND FOR WHOM YOU ABANDON'D MY SINCERE AND FAITHFUL AFFECTIONS.

1202-FM/1710:004(035) THE PRINCE STRUCK AS WITH THUNDER, SAID NO MORE TO HER, BU
T BID HER LEAD ON, AND BE SURE THAT SHE MADE GOOD HER INFAMOUS CHARGE, OR ELSE H
ER HEAD SHOU'D CERTAINLY PAY THE FORFEIT.
1203-FM/1710:005(020) THAT LORD OF THE COUNCIL, WHO WAS $RODEGUND'S FRIEND, JOIN
'D 'EM TOGETHER WITH THE CAPTAIN AND LIEUTENANT OF THE GUARD.
1204-FM/1710:006(079) THEY CAME SILENTLY, AND SWIFTLY, EVEN TO THE DOOR OF THAT
UNHAPPY BED=CHAMBER WHERE WAS THE ACCURS'D $ROSALINE IN WAITING WITH THE KEY IN
HER HAND, WHICH THE PRINCE COMMANDED FROM HER; THE DOOR WAS IMMEDIATELY OPEN'D,
HE ENTER'D THE ROOM WITH HIS SWORD DRAWN, PRECEDED BY THE TWO OFFICERS, AND FOUN
D THE LOVELY $ANNAGILDA (WHO HAD APPARENTLY BEEN WEEPING) ALONE WITH A STRANGER,
 WHO NOTWITHSTANDING HIS DISGUISE, APPEAR'D TO BE A PERSON OF NO ORDINARY MIEN O
R QUALITY.
1205-FM/1710:007(046) A DEITY FROM ABOVE, SCARCE HAD BEEN ABLE TO HAVE CLEAR'D T
HE PRINCESS'S VIRTUE FROM THOSE GUILTY APPEARANCES; NOTHING LESS DURST HAVE THE
PRESUMPTION TO ENDEAVOUR IT; TO COMPLEAT HER RUIN, SHE IMMEDIATELY, WITHOUT THE
POWER OF MAKING HER OWN DEFENCE, DROP'D DOWN INTO A SWOON.
1206-FM/1710:008(104) THE PRINCE BID HER WOMEN TO BE CALL'D, AND CAUS'D HIS RIVA
L TO BE TAKEN, HE HAVING COMMANDED HIM TO THE DUNGEON OF THE CASTLE, AND A GUARD
 TO BE SET UPON $ANNAGILDA, AND THE LADY=GOVERNESS, THEN GAVE HIS HAND TO THE WI
CKED TRIUMPHANT $RODEGUND, AND LED HER TO HIS OWN APARTMENT, FROM WHENCE HE IMME
DIATELY ORDER'D HIS CHARIOTS TO BE BROUGHT, AND, LATE AS IT WAS, TOOK HER WITH H
IM TO A HOUSE OF PLEASURE HE HAD THREE LEAGUES OUT OF TOWN, LEAVING ORDERS THAT
HE SHOU'D NOT BE FOLLOW'D BY ANY ONE, BECAUSE HE WOU'D BE ALONE TO PAUSE UPON HI
S MISFORTUNES.
1207-EV/1711:001(074) IF, SIR, IT BE SUGGESTED, THAT OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR INTEND
ED THE EMPERORS, KINGS AND QUEENS OF THE EARTH, WHEN THEY BECAME $CHRISTIAN, SHO
ULD HAVE THE POWER OF THE KEYS OF THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, THE POWER OF THE SPIRIT
UAL CENSURES OF THE CHURCH; AND THAT THE BISHOPS AND PRIESTS IN THEIR PURELY SPI
RITUAL ACTS, CENSURES, ETC SHOULD BE DEPENDENT UPON THEM, AS THEIR PROXIES OR SU
BSTITUTES, ACTING OR NOT ACTING AT THEIR COMMAND.
1208-EV/1711:002(081) I PROTEST, SIR, I CANNOT HAVE ANY SATISFACTORY VIEW OF SUC
H A NOTION, BY ANY LIGHT EITHER OF HOLY SCRIPTURE, OF SOUND REASON, OR OF ECCLES
IASTIC HISTORY: AND UNLESS IT CAN BE PLAINLY SHOWN, WHEN, AND WHEREIN $CHRIST VO
IDED THE CHURCH'S CHARTER, RESUM'D THE ECCLESIASTIC POWERS ORIGINALLY GRANTED TO
 HIS APOSTLES, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS; AND TRANSFER'D THEM UPON THE EMPERORS, KING
S AND QUEENS OF THE EARTH; I SHALL FIND MY SELF OBLIG'D TO THINK QUITE THE REVER
SE TO THE FORESAID SUGGESTION.
1209-EV/1711:003(034) IN REVOLVING THE SCRIPTURES, I CAN SEE NO PRECEPTS, DIRECT
IONS, NOR EXHORTATIONS RELATING TO A $CHRISTIAN KING'S EITHER HAVING OR EXERCISI
NG SUCH SPIRITUAL CHURCH POWER, BY EXECUTING SPIRITUAL CENSURES, EITHER PERSONAL
LY, OR BY VICEGERENTS.
1210-EV/1711:004(165) SPIRITUAL GOVERNMENT IS NECESSARY FOR THE CHURCH, AS IT IS
 A SPIRITUAL SOCIETY: WITHOUT A GOVERNOUR, THERE CAN BE NO GOVERNMENT: 'TIS ACKN
OWLEDG'D THAT THE KING OR QUEEN IS THE SUPREME CIVIL GOVERNOUR OF THE CHURCH AS
WELL AS OF THE STATE; BUT IF HE BE ALSO THE RIGHTFUL SPIRITUAL CHURCH=GOVERNOUR,
 'TIS STRANGE THAT THE SCRIPTURES ARE SO PROFOUNDLY SILENT ABOUT SUCH AN ESSENTI
AL: AND INDEED SUCH AS MAINTAIN THE $CHRISTIAN KING TO BE <DE JURE> THE SPIRITUA
L GOVERNOUR OF THE CHURCH, PERSONALLY OR BY PROXY; SEEM TO PUT A MIGHTY SLUR UPO
N THE PERFECTION OF THE SCRIPTURES, FOR THESE TAKE NO NOTICE OF HIM AS SUCH: BUT
 ON THE CONTRARY, EVER SINCE $GOD SEPARATED THE SACERDOTAL AND REGAL OFFICES, TH
E HOLY SCRIPTURES DO, IN ALL TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN $GOD AND MAN IN SACRED AFFAIRS
, ALWAYS MENTION BISHOPS, PRESBYTERS, AND DEACONS, AS THE TRANSACTORS, MEDIATORS
 AND MANAGERS; SPEAKING TO, AND ACTING WITH THE PEOPLE, IN $GOD'S NAME; AND WITH
 $GOD, IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE.
1211-EV/1711:005(099) IN THESE SACRED REPOSITORIES OF TRUTH, WE FIND, THAT THE $
CHRISTIAN BISHOPS AND PRESBYTERS OR PRIESTS, ARE CALL'D $CHRIST'S AMBASSADORS AN
D MINISTERS, AND CONSEQUENTLY NOT THE KING'S; $CHRIST'S GIFTS TO THE CHURCH, AND
 NOT THE KING'S, ORDAIN'D BY APOSTLES, VICEGERENTS TO $GOD THE SON; NOT BY KINGS
, VICEGERENTS TO $GOD THE FATHER; NOR BY COMMISSION FROM THEM: THEY BAPTIZE IN T
HE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST, AND NOT IN THE KING'S; THEY EXCOMMUN
ICATE IN $CHRIST'S NAME, NOT IN THE KING'S: $TITUS, AND NOT THE $CHRISTIAN KING,
 IS BID TO REJECT A MAN THAT IS AN HERETICK.
1212-EV/1711:006(039) HENCE 'TIS EVIDENT FROM THE SACRED WRITINGS, THAT NOT $CHR
ISTIAN KINGS, AS SUCH, BUT $CHRISTIAN BISHOPS, AND PRIESTS AS SUCH, HAVE, AND AR
E WITHOUT LET OR IMPEDIMENT TO EXECUTE, THE POWER OF THE KEYS, THE POWER OF SPIR
ITUAL CENSURES.
1213-EV/1711:007(042) IF THE GENERAL NOTICES OF REASON BE CONSULTED UPON THIS PO
INT, IT IS, SIR, I HUMBLY CONCEIVE, A CLEAR MAXIM OF REASON, WHICH UNIVERSALLY O
BTAINS AMONG ALL WELL ORDERED SOCIETIES, THAT DIFFERENT FACULTIES, OFFICES AND C
ALLINGS SHOULD NOT BE MIX'D AND CONFOUNDED.
1214-EV/1711:008(040) THOUGH ONE AND THE SAME PERSON MAY BE SKILL'D IN VARIOUS A
FFAIRS, YET ONE OFFICE, ONE CALLING IS NOT FORMALLY ANOTHER: NOR IS A MASTER IN
ONE FACULTY OR ART, AS SUCH, TO SET HIMSELF UP AS JUDGE IN ANOTHER.
1215-EV/1711:009(018) THE ABLEST PHYSICIAN, AS SUCH, IS NO COMPETENT JUDGE OF CO
NTROVERSIES BETWEEN LAWYERS, MUSICIANS OR PAINTERS, AS SUCH.
1216-EV/1711:010(003) <FABRI FABRILIA TRACTENT>.
1217-EV/1711:011(009) ONE SHOULD NOT THRUST HIS SICKLE INTO ANOTHER'S FIELD.
1218-EV/1711:012(046) THE KING OR QUEEN HAS SUPREME IRRESISTIBLE POWER OVER PHYS
ICIANS, LAWYERS, MUSICIANS, PAINTERS, AND ALL OTHER PERSONS IN HIS OR HER DOMINI
ONS, AND HAS POWER TO PUNISH THEM FOR MALE=PRACTICE, OR BREACH OF PROMISE AND CO
MPACT: BUT IS HE, AS KING, FORMALLY A PHYSICIAN, OR PAINTER?
1219-EV/1711:013(012) OR IS HIS JUDGMENT AS KING, THE SUPREME RULE IN SUCH CASES
?
1220-EV/1711:014(022) DON'T ALL ALLOW, THAT THE FACULTY OR CHIEFS OF THE INCORPO
RATED COMPANY, ARE THE PROPER JUDGES IN THEIR RESPECTIVE SCIENCES AND ARTS?
1221-EV/1711:015(034) SO THE KING OR QUEEN HAS SUPREME IRRESISTIBLE POWER OVER T
HE PERSONS OF ALL BISHOPS, PRIESTS AND DEACONS, IN HIS OR HER DOMINIONS: BUT IS
HE, AS KING, FORMALLY A BISHOP, PRIEST, OR DEACON?
1222-EV/1711:016(023) OR IS HIS JUDGMENT, AS KING, TO BE THE SUPREME STANDARD AN
D RULE TO DETERMINE THEM IN THEIR PURELY SPIRITUAL ACTS, CENSURES, ETC.
1223-EV/1711:017(033) IF IT BE SAID, THAT THE KING OR QUEEN, AS A $CHRISTIAN, HA
S AN INTEREST IN CHURCH=FAITH AND PRACTICE, AND THEREFORE SHOULD BE A DECISIVE J
UDGE IN SUCH MATTERS AS SPIRITUAL CENSURES, ETC.
1224-EV/1711:018(083) 'TIS EASILY REPLY'D, THAT HE IS A JUDGE WITH RESPECT TO HI
S OWN PRIVATE OPINION, WHICH IF IT APPROVE NOT THE EPISCOPAL SPIRITUAL CENSURE,
HE LEAVES IT TO OPERATE IN A PURELY SPIRITUAL WAY, AND ASSISTS IT NOT WITH HIS S
ECULAR POWER: BUT IF ANY $CHRISTIAN KING SHOULD PUT IN CLAIM FOR BEING A SPIRITU
AL JUDGE PARAMOUNT, THEN MUST HE CLAIM THIS RIGHT, EITHER  AS HE IS A $CHRISTIAN
, OR  AS IT IS A <JURE DIVINO> RIGHT INHERENT IN THE CROWN.
1225-EV/1711:019(030) IF HE CLAIMS IT, AS A $CHRISTIAN, THEN, BY THE SAME ARGUME
NT, ALL $CHRISTIANS MUST BE SUCH PUBLICK JUDGES; FOR EACH OF THEM HAS AN INTERES
T IN CHURCH=FAITH AND PRACTICE.
1226-EV/1711:020(008) BUT THIS IS TOO GROSS TO BE ADMITTED.
1227-EV/1711:021(101) IF HE CLAIMS IT AS BEING A <JURE DIVINO> RIGHT INHERENT IN
 THE CROWN, THEN, BY THE SAME ARGUMENT (FOR DOMINION IS NOT FOUNDED IN GRACE) IT
 WILL FOLLOW, THAT ALL POPISH EMPERORS AND KINGS, WHO HAVE HAD, OR STILL HAVE A
RIGHT TO THEIR CROWNS, LIKEWISE HAD, AND HAVE A <JURE DIVINO> RIGHT TO BE SPIRIT
UAL JUDGES PARAMOUNT, TO MANAGE CENSURES, AND MAKE WHAT LAWS THEY THINK FIT FOR
THE CHURCH, AS WELL AS THE STATE: OR OTHERWISE, NO $CHRISTIAN PRINCE WHOSOEVER C
AN FORM ANY JUST PRETENCE OF BEING SUCH A SPIRITUAL JUDGE, <JURE CORONAE>, BY RI
GHT OF HIS CROWN.
1228-FD/1711:001(055) SINCE THEN PUBLICK SPIRIT FLOWS FROM THE LOVE OF ONE'S COU
NTRY; AND TO LOVE ONE'S COUNTRY, IS TO LOVE THE MANNERS OF IT; IT IS MANIFEST, T
HAT WE CAN HAVE VERY LITTLE PUBLICK SPIRIT AMONG US: FOR WE HAVE NO MANNERS OF O
UR OWN TO LOVE; OUR MANNERS ARE THOSE OF ALL THE NEIGHBOURING NATIONS.
1229-FD/1711:002(065) AND WHEREAS IT WAS FORMERLY A PART OF THE $ROMAN WISDOM, W
HENEVER THEY GAVE TO OTHER PEOPLE THE RIGHT OF $ROMAN CITIZENS, TO OBLIGE THEM T
O THROW OFF THEIR OLD CUSTOMS, AND BECOME CONFORMABLE TO THEIRS; WE AT A TIME OF
 GENERAL NATURALIZATION ARE THROWING OFF THE VERY REMAINS OF OUR OLD CUSTOMS, AN
D EMBRACING THOSE OF ALL THE NATIONS WHOM WE DESIGN TO RECEIVE.
1230-FD/1711:003(038) METHINKS IT SHOULD MORTIFY ALL THOSE WHO PRETEND TO DISTIN
GUISH THEMSELVES BY INTRODUCING SUCH EMPTY TRIFLES AMONG US, TO CONSIDER WHAT IS
 BECOME OF THOSE, WHO WERE AT THE HEAD OF THE FASHIONS AND CUSTOMS THIRTY YEARS
AGO.
1231-FD/1711:004(025) ARE THEY NOT AS MUCH FORGOT, NAY, ARE THEY NOT MORE, THAN
$JOWLER, AND $ROCKWOOD, AND $RINGWOOD, THAT LED THE DUKE OF $YORK'S FOX=HOUNDS T
HEN?
1232-FD/1711:005(023) BUT LUXURY, WHICH BEGAN BY PRIDE, GREW HABITUAL BY LENGTH
OF TIME, AND WAS THEN IMPROV'D BY SENSUAL PLEASURES TO AN AMAZING HEIGHT.
1233-FD/1711:006(037) THERE WOULD BE NO END OF ENUMERATING THE SEVERAL WINES WHI
CH WE USE TO DEBAUCH US, OR THE VARIOUS DISHES, OR THEIR UNNATURAL MIXTURES, OR
THEIR HIGH AROMATICK SAUCES, THOSE FIERCE INCENDIARIES OF THE BLOOD AND SPIRITS.

1234-FD/1711:007(085) THE $ROMANS, IN THE TIMES OF THEIR CORRUPTED MANNERS, EQUA
L'D US PERHAPS IN THESE: BUT WE ARE NOT CONTENTED, AS THEY WERE OF OLD, TO RIFLE
 THE EARTH, THE AIR, AND THE SEA, TO ADVANCE OUR SENSUAL PLEASURES; WE HAVE RAIS
'D RECRUITS FROM THE VERY FIRE, AND MADE EVEN THAT DEVOURING ELEMENT, THAT IN TH
E TIME OF OUR FOREFATHERS CONSUM'D ALL, BUT PRODUC'D NOTHING, FERTILE OF A THOUS
AND LUXURIES; WITNESS OUR BRANDY, OUR USQUEBAUGH'S, OUR $ROSA_SOLIS, OUR RATIFIA
'S, AND ALL THE FAMILY OF DESTRUCTIVE SPIRITS.
1235-FD/1711:008(057) THESE MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE CONSTANTLY USE TO INVIGORATE TH
EMSELVES, NOT CONSIDERING THAT NATURE VIGOROUS AND UNDEBAUCH'D, DRAWS THE BEST A
ND THE NOBLEST SPIRITS FROM THE SIMPLEST LIQUORS, AND THE BEST AND THE MOST CONG
ENIAL OF ALL FROM WATER: FOR SHE, LIKE SOME OTHER MECHANICKS, OPERATES BEST WITH
 HER OWN INSTRUMENTS, AND USES BUT AUKWARDLY THOSE OF ART.
1236-FD/1711:009(054) BUT THESE SPIRITS ARE GROWN AS HABITUAL TO THE WOMEN, AS T
HEY ARE TO THE MEN; IN WHOSE TENDER CONSTITUTIONS THEY RAISE FIERCE EBULLITIONS
AND VIOLENT EMOTIONS, TOO RUDE FOR THE DELICATE TEXTURE OF THEIR FIBRES: AND FOR
 HALF THE YEAR TOGETHER, THEY NEITHER TAKE ANY AIR, NOR USE ANY EXERCISE TO REMO
VE THEM.
1237-FD/1711:010(090) FROM HENCE DISTEMPERS OF BODY AND MIND; FROM HENCE AN INFI
NITY OF IRREGULAR DESIRES, UNLAWFUL AMOURS, INTRIGUES, AND VAPOURS, AND WHIMSIES
, AND ALL THE NUMEROUS MELANCHOLY CROUD OF DEEP HYSTERICAL SYMPTOMS; FROM HENCE
IT COMES TO PASS, THAT THE FRUIT OF THEIR BODIES LIES IN THEM LIKE PLANTS IN HOT
 BEDS; FROM HENCE IT PROCEEDS, THAT OUR $BRITISH MAIDS, WHO IN THE TIMES OF OUR
$HENRY'S WERE NOT HELD MARRIAGEABLE TILL TURNED OF TWENTY, ARE NOW BECOME FALLIN
G RIPE AT TWELVE, FORC'D TO PREMATURENESS BY THE HEAT OF ADVENTITIOUS FIRE.
1238-FD/1711:011(024) THUS HAS OUR LUXURY CHANG'D OUR NATURES IN DESPITE OF OUR
CLIMATE, AND OUR GIRLS ARE RIPE AS SOON AS THOSE OF THE $INDIES.
1239-FD/1711:012(045) NOR HAS IT ONLY CHANG'D OUR NATURES, BUT TRANSFORM'D OUR S
EXES: WE HAVE MEN THAT ARE MORE SOFT, MORE LANGUID, AND MORE PASSIVE THAN WOMEN;
 MEN, WHO LIKE WOMEN ARE COME TO USE RED AND WHITE, AND PART OF THE NATION ARE T
URNING $PICTS AGAIN.
1240-FD/1711:013(060) ON THE OTHER SIDE, WE HAVE WOMEN, WHO, AS IT WERE IN REVEN
GE, ARE MASCULINE IN THEIR DESIRES, AND MASCULINE IN THEIR PRACTICES; YES, WE HA
VE VICES WHICH WE DARE NOT NAME, THO AFTER THE GREAT APOSTLE OF THE $GENTILES; A
ND TO MENTION WHICH, WITH AN OPEN FRANKNESS, WOULD REQUIRE THE BOLDNESS OF A PER
FECT SAINT, OR AN ACCOMPLISH'D LIBERTINE.
1241-FD/1711:014(037) FEW CONSTITUTIONS, AND FEWER ESTATES, ARE SUFFICIENT TO SU
CH LUXURY: YET HAPPY WERE MEN, IF THE WANT OF MONEY COULD MORTIFY OR SUBDUE THEI
R BOUNDLESS DESIRES; SUCH A VICTORY WERE CHEAPLY PURCHAS'D AT THE EXPENCE OF RUI
N.
1242-FD/1711:015(023) BUT THE MISCHIEF IS, THAT WHEN THE HABIT OF LUXURY IS GROW
N INVETERATE, INDIGENCE DOES BUT EXASPERATE DESIRE, AND DESIRE MAKES INDIGENCE I
NSUPPORTABLE.
1243-FD/1711:016(104) AND THEREFORE A PERSON WHO HAS A THOUSAND A YEAR, AND WHO
YET CANNOT LIVE UNDER TWO OR THREE THOUSAND, IS TEN TIMES MORE UNHAPPY, AND HAS
TEN TIMES MORE WANT THAN AN HONEST BEGGAR, WHO COULD LIVE CONTENTEDLY ON TWENTY:
 AND THEREFORE THIS LATTER DOES ONLY BEG, WHILE THE OTHER TOO FREQUENTLY ROBS AN
D STEALS, NOT INDEED FROM PARTICULAR PERSONS, BECAUSE THAT CANNOT BE DONE WITHOU
T DANGER OF INFAMY, OR OF CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, BUT FROM THE PUBLICK WITHOUT ANY
RELUCTANCE, WHERE THO PERHAPS THE DANGER TO HIMSELF MAY BE A THOUSAND TIMES LESS
, THE GUILT AND THE MISCHIEF ARE A THOUSAND TIMES GREATER.
1244-FD/1711:017(075) THUS PRIVATE LUSTS ARE TOO OFTEN SUPPORTED BY PUBLICK FRAU
DS AND RAPINES; AND THE SUPPORTING OF THESE MAKES HIM, WHO BEFORE HE CONSUM'D HI
S ESTATE, RETAIN'D HIS HONOUR AND HIS INTEGRITY, FRAUDULENT, VENAL, RAPACIOUS, C
RUEL, OPPRESSIVE; THIS MAKES HIM RACK AND GRIND HIS TENANTS, AND DISPOSSESS HIS
INSOLVENT DEBTORS, SEIZING AT ONCE UPON BODY AND GOODS, TO THE IRRECOVERABLE RUI
N OF THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES, WITHOUT COMPASSION OR CONSIDERATION OF THEIR
 DEPLORABLE AND INEVITABLE MISFORTUNES.
1245-FD/1711:018(037) AND THIS INHUMANITY PERHAPS IS SHEWN, NOT TO GET MONEY TO
DISCHARGE HIS LAWFUL DEBTS, BUT TO SATISFY FORSOOTH HIS DEBTS OF HONOUR, WHICH B
Y BEING PREFERABLY PAID TO THE OTHER, ARE CHANG'D TO DEBTS OF INFAMY.
1246-FD/1711:019(050) THIS SETS HIM UPON ENCLOSING COMMONS, WHERE BUYING OUT THE
 RIGHTS OF THE RICH AND POWERFUL, HE TRAMPLES UPON THE NECKS OF THE POOR AND IMP
OTENT, AND THROWS THEM OUT OF THEIR ANTIENT DWELLINGS BY VIOLENCE, WHILE THE WRE
TCHED INHABITANT GROWS ABANDON'D, HELPLESS, AND SPIRITLESS, AND ONLY FIT FOR SER
VITUDE.
1247-FD/1711:020(055) 'TIS THIS THAT OBLIGES HIM TO LET OUT HIS ESTATE TO MONOPO
LIZERS, WHO ARE CAPABLE OF ADVANCING LARGE SUMS TO SUPPLY HIS PROFUSIONS; ONE OF
 WHICH MONOPOLIZERS PERHAPS SHALL RENT TWO THOUSAND POUNDS PER ANNUM; ALL WHICH
LAND PERHAPS BEING GRAZ'D, IS MANAG'D BY A FEW SERVANTS, THAT FORMERLY MAINTAIN'
D NO LESS THAN FORTY FAMILIES.
1248-FD/1711:021(039) AND THIS ONE TENANT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO BE A NOTORIOUS PAPIS
T, WHO HAS SOLD HIS HEREDITARY ESTATE, AND ENTER'D UPON THIS NEW COMMERCE, TO AV
OID THE PAYING OF DOUBLE TAXES, AND TO ELUDE THE POWER OF THE LAWS.
1249-FD/1711:022(089) 'TIS NOTHING BUT WANT, OCCASION'D BY LUXURY, THAT HAS RAIS
'D GAMING TO SUCH A HEIGHT, THAT IT HAS DONE MORE MISCHIEF THAN A PLAGUE: FOR TH
E LATTER ONLY CONSUMES THE PRESENT PEOPLE, WHOSE KIND IS IMMORTAL, AND THEREFORE
 MUST SPRING UP AGAIN; BUT THE UNIVERSAL EXTRAVAGANCE OF GAMING DISORDERS THE VE
RY FORM AND BEING OF GOVERNMENT, ESPECIALLY WHEN 'TIS CARRY'D ON WITH SUCH A RAG
E, THAT NEITHER SEX SETS ANY BOUNDS TO IT; BUT MEN AND WOMEN, IN THE FURY OF THE
IR PASSION, LOSE ALL GOVERNMENT AND ALL DECORUM.
1250-FD/1711:023(027) THE MEN FORGET THEIR BIRTH, THEIR RANK, THEIR DIGNITY, THE
IR UNDERSTANDING, THEIR VIRTUE; AND HERD AND CONVERSE WITH MEAN WRETCHES, WHO AR
E OFTEN BOTH FOOLS AND KNAVES.
1251-FD/1711:024(024) MEN OF THE FIRST QUALITY KEEP WORSE COMPANY, THAN PRINCE $
HARRY DOES IN $SHAKESPEAR'S PLAY, AS A PICKPOCKET IS MORE SCANDALOUS THAN A HIGH
WAYMAN.
1252-FD/1711:025(026) 'TIS WONDERFUL TO SEE PEOPLE LIVE SO MUCH ABOVE THEMSELVES
, AND KEEP COMPANY SO MUCH BELOW THEMSELVES; TO SEE SO MUCH PRIDE WITH SO LITTLE
 SUBORDINATION.
1253-FD/1711:026(075) THE WOMEN LOCK THEMSELVES UP AT CARDS WHOLE DAYS AND NIGHT
S SUCCESSIVELY, AND FORGET THEIR NATURAL PLEASURE OF BEING SEEN, AND OF BEING AD
MIR'D: AND AVARICE GETS THE BETTER OF THEIR PRIDE, AS LUXURY IN SOME OF THEM HAD
 DONE BEFORE; AND GETS THE BETTER OF THEIR PLEASURE LIKEWISE, GETS THE BETTER OF
 THAT PLEASURE WHICH IS SO NATURAL TO THEM, AND MAKES THEM SHEW A STRONGER PASSI
ON THAN THAT WHICH THEY HAVE FOR MEN.
1254-FD/1711:027(032) YET AVARICE, THAT DREW THEM FROM THEIR NATURAL DESIRES, SO
METIMES BRINGS THEM BACK AGAIN; AND SOME OF THEM, LIKE THE ANTIENT $GERMANS, PLA
Y FOR THEIR PERSONS AFTER THEY HAVE LOST THEIR PELF.
1255-FD/1711:028(025) WHILE BOTH SEXES ARE THUS TRANSPORTED BY SO FATAL A FRENZY
, WHERE CAN BE ANY OECONOMY; AND WITHOUT OECONOMY, HOW FEW CAN BE GOOD SUBJECTS?

1256-FD/1711:029(028) GREAT ESTATES ARE OFTEN CONSUM'D IN A LITTLE TIME, WHILE A
VARICE AND PROFUSION, PRIDE AND BASENESS WALK HAND=IN=HAND TOGETHER, AND WANT SP
RINGS UP FROM THE DESIRE OF GETTING.
1257-FD/1711:030(064) BUT BY THE SAME DEGREES THAT A MAN GROWS INDIGENT AT HOME,
 HE OFTEN GROWS CLAMOROUS AND TURBULENT IN THE STATE: FOR NONE ARE MORE CLAMOROU
S THAN THEY, WHO UNDER A PRETENCE OF PUBLICK GOOD, ARE STRIVING FOR POWER AND PL
ACE; AND NONE MORE EAGERLY CONTEND FOR POWER, THAN THEY WHO ARE URG'D BY THEIR P
RESSING NECESSITIES TO MAKE THEIR MARKETS OF THE STATE.
1258-FD/1711:031(061) BUT OF ALL THE FASHIONS THAT HAVE BEEN INTRODUC'D AMONG US
 FROM ABROAD, NONE SHEWS SO DEPLORABLE A WANT OF PUBLICK SPIRIT AS THE $ITALIAN
OPERA, AND THE EXTRAVAGANT ENCOURAGEMENT THAT UPON THE ACCOUNT OF THAT, IS AT TH
E EXPENCE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD AND GREAT AMONG US GIVEN TO WORTHLESS FOOLS, WHO C
AN PRETEND TO NO MERIT BUT SOUND.
1259-FD/1711:032(044) I HAD ONCE AN INTENTION OF INSERTING A LONG DISCOURSE OF I
T HERE, BUT I HAVE OMITTED THE GREATER PART OF IT, OUT OF FEAR OF OFFENDING SOME
 PERSONS, FOR WHOM I HAVE CONCEIV'D A MORE THAN ORDINARY ESTEEM, AND WHO ARE TRU
LY ESTIMABLE.
1260-FD/1711:033(032) THEY HAVE INDEED SUCH GOOD AND SUCH GREAT QUALITIES, AND W
HICH SHINE SO TRULY BRIGHT, THAT THEY WANT NOT THE FOIL OF THIS SENSLESS ENCOURA
GEMENT TO SET THEM OFF TO THE WORLD.
1261-FD/1711:034(081) HOW MUCH IS IT TO BE LAMENTED, THAT THE PRESSURE OF THEIR
AFFAIRS, THEIR ITCH OF NOVELTY, AND THEIR PRIDE OF SHEWING THEIR POWER AT TOO PR
ECIOUS AN EXPENCE, DIVERTS THEM FROM CONSIDERING THE HARM WHICH THEY DO BOTH TO
THEMSELVES AND THE PUBLICK; AND FROM REFLECTING ON THAT SPECIOUS PRETENCE WHICH
THEY GIVE TO THEIR ENEMIES TO CALL IN QUESTION THEIR VERY WISDOM; THAT WISDOM WH
ICH EVEN THEIR ENEMIES ALLOW TO BE SO CONSPICUOUS IN THE REST OF THEIR ACTIONS?

1262-FD/1711:035(064) THE PROSPERITY OF THE BAD, SAY THEY, AND THE SUFFERINGS OF
 THE GOOD, HAVE MADE MILLIONS DOUBT OF PROVIDENCE; WHEN THEY WHO BY THEIR QUALIT
Y, THEIR RANK, OR THEIR FORTUNES, INFLUENCE AND SUPPORT THE PLEASURES OF THE TOW
N; WHEN THESE DISCOURAGE MERIT, AND ENCOURAGE FOOLS, MAY WE NOT BELIEVE, SAY THE
Y, THAT THEY ARE RATHER GOVERN'D BY FANCY AND BY HUMOUR THAN BY REASON?
1263-FD/1711:036(044) MUST WE NOT ADMIRE, SAY THEY, THE PROFOUNDNESS OF THESE GE
NTLEMENS POLITICKS, WHEN WE SEE THEM FORSAKING THEIR MOST SERIOUS AFFAIRS FOR A
WANTON AND A SENSUAL TRIFLE, SO UNWORTHY OF THEIR GRAVITY, THEIR RANK, AND THEIR
 DIGNITY, THAT 'TIS NOT WORTHY OF MEN?
1264-FD/1711:037(014) MANLY PLEASURES ARE RATIONAL PLEASURES; MERE SENSUAL PLEAS
URES ARE COMMON TO BEASTS WITH MEN.
1265-FD/1711:038(027) THE PLEASURE THAT EFFEMINATE MUSICK GIVES, IS A MERE SENSU
AL PLEASURE, WHICH HE WHO GIVES OR HE WHO RECEIVES IN A SUPREME DEGREE, MUST BE
ALIKE UNMANN'D.
1266-FD/1711:039(067) A MUSICAL VOICE IS NATURAL ONLY TO SOME SPECIES OF BIRDS,
BUT ALWAYS ACCIDENTAL TO MEN; FOR WHICH REASON A COCK=NIGHTINGAL SINGS BETTER TH
AN $NICOLINI, NAY OR THAN $SYPHACE HIMSELF COULD, WITHOUT BEING TAUGHT, OR WITHO
UT BEING GELT FOR THE MATTER; AND THERE IS A BETTER OPERA IN A $KENTISH GROVE IN
 THE MONTH OF $APRIL, THAN EVER THERE WAS AT $ROME, AT $NAPLES, OR AT $VENICE.
1267-FD/1711:040(016) DO NOT THE POLITICKS OF THESE GENTLEMEN, SAY THEY, TURN MR
 $BAYS'S POLITICKS OUT OF RIDICULE?
1268-FD/1711:041(023) FOR IS NOT THE CONDUCT OF THE TWO KINGS OF $BRENTFORD, BEC
OME AS IT WERE A PRECEDENT TO SOME OF OUR MODERN POLITICIANS?
1269-FA/1712:001(049) I NEED NOT TELL YOU OF THE GREAT QUARRELS THAT HAVE HAPPEN
'D IN OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD, SINCE THE DEATH OF THE LATE LORD $STRUTT; HOW THE PARSO
N AND A CUNNING ATTORNEY, GOT HIM TO SETTLE HIS ESTATE UPON HIS COUSIN $PHILIP_B
ABOON, TO THE GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT OF HIS COUSIN ESQUIRE $SOUTH.
1270-FA/1712:002(051) SOME STICK NOT TO SAY, THAT THE PARSON AND THE ATTORNEY FO
RG'D A WILL, FOR WHICH THEY WERE WELL PAID BY THE FAMILY OF THE $BABOONS: LET TH
AT BE AS IT WILL, IT IS MATTER OF FACT, THAT THE HONOUR AND ESTATE HAVE CONTINUE
D EVER SINCE IN THE PERSON OF $PHILIP_BABOON.
1271-FA/1712:003(103) YOU KNOW THAT THE LORD $STRUTTS HAVE FOR MANY YEARS BEEN P
OSSESS'D OF A VERY GREAT LANDED ESTATE, WELL CONDITION'D, WOODED, WATER'D, WITH
COAL, SALT, TIN, COPPER, IRON, ETC ALL WITHIN THEMSELVES; THAT IT HAS BEEN THE M
ISFORTUNE OF THAT FAMILY, TO BE THE PROPERTY OF THEIR STEWARDS, TRADESMEN, AND I
NFERIOR SERVANTS, WHICH HAS BROUGHT GREAT INCUMBRANCES UPON THEM; AT THE SAME TI
ME, NOT ABATING OF THEIR EXPENSIVE WAY OF LIVING, HAS FORC'D THEM TO MORTGAGE TH
EIR BEST MANORS: IT IS CREDIBLY REPORTED, THAT THE BUTCHER'S AND BAKER'S BILLS O
F A LORD $STRUTT THAT LIVED TWO HUNDRED YEARS AGO, ARE NOT YET PAID.
1272-FA/1712:004(114) WHEN $PHILIP_BABOON CAME FIRST TO THE POSSESSION OF THE LO
RD $STRUTT'S ESTATE, HIS TRADESMEN, AS IS USUAL UPON SUCH OCCASIONS, WAITED UPON
 HIM TO WISH HIM JOY, AND BESPEAK HIS CUSTOM: THE TWO CHIEF WERE $JOHN_BULL THE
CLOTHIER, AND $NIC_FROG THE LINNEN=DRAPER; THEY TOLD HIM, THAT THE $BULLS AND $F
ROGS HAD SERVED THE LORD $STRUTTS WITH DRAPERY WARE FOR MANY YEARS; THAT THEY WE
RE HONEST AND FAIR DEALERS; THAT THEIR BILLS HAD NEVER BEEN QUESTION'D; THAT THE
 LORD $STRUTTS LIVED GENEROUSLY, AND NEVER USED TO DIRTY THEIR FINGERS WITH PEN,
 INK AND COUNTERS; THAT HIS LORDSHIP MIGHT DEPEND UPON THEIR HONESTY, THAT THEY
WOULD USE HIM AS KINDLY AS THEY HAD DONE HIS PREDECESSORS.
1273-FA/1712:005(035) THE YOUNG LORD SEEM'D TO TAKE ALL IN GOOD PART, AND DISMIS
S'D THEM WITH A DEAL OF SEEMING CONTENT, ASSURING THEM HE DID NOT INTEND TO CHAN
GE ANY OF THE HONOURABLE MAXIMS OF HIS PREDECESSORS.
1274-FC/1713:001(057) LET PAINTERS BE SO FAR CONFIN'D IN THEIR ART BY THE RELIGI
ON OF THEIR COUNTRY, AS TO HAVE IT THOUGHT UNLAWFUL TO PAINT ANY LIVING CREATURE
; IT IS EVIDENT THE ART IN THAT PARTICULAR WOULD BE NARROW'D AND RESTRAIN'D, AND
 WE SHOULD WANT MANY BEAUTIFUL PIECES, FOR WHICH PAGAN AND $CHRISTIAN DIVINITY F
URNISH THE PAINTER WITH MATTER.
1275-FC/1713:002(066) AND IF ANY BOLD AND FREE PAINTER SHOULD TRANSGRESS THE EST
ABLISH'D LAW OF PAINTING, AND VENTURE UPON PAINTING EITHER A GOD OR GODDESS, OR
ANY PASSAGE OF THE LIFE OF OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR; NOTHING IS MORE PLAIN THAN THAT
THE FIRST DRAUGHT WOULD BE AS SHORT OF THE PERFECTION OF OUR BEST PICTURES, AS T
HE PAINTER HIMSELF MUST BE SHORT OF OUR BEST PAINTERS IN EXPERIENCE.
1276-FC/1713:003(051) NAY, LET FREE PAINTING BE ALLOW'D, PERFECTION WILL NEVER B
E REACH'D IN THAT ART, UNLESS SUTABLE ENCOURAGEMENTS BE GIVEN TO FREE PAINTERS F
OR WHAT IS EXCELLENT IN ITS KIND, TO THE END THERE MAY BE NUMBERS OF MEN EMPLOY'
D, WHO BY EMULATION MAY STRIVE TO EXCEED ONE ANOTHER IN THEIR PERFORMANCES.
1277-FC/1713:004(060) THUS THE $ITALIANS, BY THE PUBLICK ENCOURAGEMENT GIVEN, EX
CEL US $BRITANS IN PAINTING (THO FREE PAINTING IS ALLOW'D IN EACH COUNTRY) AND W
E IN ALL LIKELIHOOD, FOR WANT OF MANY HANDS BEING EMPLOY'D AND ENCOURAG'D, SHALL
 CONTINUE FOR EVER IN OUR BARBAROUS STATE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY TOLERABLE DEGREE
OF A JUST TASTE, OR ABILITY TO PERFORM IN THAT ART.
1278-FC/1713:005(028) IN LIKE MANNER, LET MEN BE RESTRAIN'D FROM THINKING ON ANY
 SCIENCE OR ANY PART OF A SCIENCE, THEY MUST BE IGNORANT SO FAR AS THE RESTRAINT
 GOES.
1279-FC/1713:006(054) AND IF A FEW MEN TAKE NOW AND THEN A LITTLE LIBERTY, AND B
REAK THRO THE ESTABLISH'D RESTRAINT, THEIR THOUGHTS WILL NEVER BE SO PERFECT AS
IF ALL MEN WERE ALLOW'D AND ENCOURAG'D TO THINK OF THAT MATTER: BUT THEIR PROGRE
SS IN THINKING WILL BE ONLY PROPORTIONATE TO THAT DEGREE OF FREE=THINKING WHICH
PREVAILS.
1280-FC/1713:007(019) THUS BEFORE THE RESTORATION OF LEARNING, WHEN MEN WERE SUB
JECT TO THE IMPOSITIONS OF PRIESTS, A PRODIGIOUS IGNORANCE PREVAIL'D.
1281-FC/1713:008(031) AND WHEN THEY BEGAN TO THINK, THEIR FIRST NOTIONS WERE RUD
E AND IMPERFECT, AND TIME AND PAINS WERE NECESSARY TO BRING THEM TO THAT DEGREE
OF JUSTNESS THEY ARE AT PRESENT.
1282-FC/1713:009(033) IT WAS BY GRADUAL PROGRESS IN THINKING, THAT MEN GOT SO MU
CH KNOWLEDGE IN ASTRONOMY, AS TO KNOW THAT THE $EARTH WAS OF AN ORBICULAR FIGURE
, AND THAT IT MOVES ABOUT THE SUN.
1283-FC/1713:010(037) IT WAS BY THAT MEANS, THAT WE ARE ARRIV'D AT A DEMONSTRATI
ON OF THE EXISTENCE OF BUT ONE GOD, AND AT THAT STRICT AND PHILOSOPHICAL NOTION
OF HIM, AS A BEING DESTITUTE OF ALL PARTS AND PASSIONS.
1284-FC/1713:011(012) AND THUS IT HAS BEEN WITH RESPECT TO ALL OUR OTHER DISCOVE
RIES.
1285-FC/1713:012(043) BESIDES, WE ARE NOT ONLY SO FAR IGNORANT IN THE SCIENCES,
AS WE ARE UNDER ANY RESTRAINT FROM THINKING ABOUT THEM; BUT WE MUST BE IGNORANT
IN THOSE SCIENCES WHEREOF WE PRETEND TO THINK, IF WE REFUSE TO THINK OF ANY SCIE
NCE WHATSOEVER.
1286-FC/1713:013(033) FOR THERE IS A RELATION, HARMONY, DEPENDENCY, AND CONNECTI
ON BETWEEN ALL THINGS; AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF ONE SCIENCE OR ART CAN NEVER BE THOR
OWLY OBTAIN'D WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF OTHER ARTS AND SCIENCES.
1287-FC/1713:014(035) NAY, TAKE ANY BOOK THAT IS A MASTER=PIECE IN ITS KIND, AND
 YOU WILL FIND IT HAS A RELATION TO THEM ALL, AND THAT A VERY GENERAL AND EXTENS
IVE KNOWLEDGE WAS NECESSARY TO ITS COMPOSITION.
1288-FC/1713:015(066) IN THE "$ILIAD" OF $HOMER, THERE IS NOT AN ART OR SCIENCE,
 OR BRANCH OF ANY ART OR SCIENCE, BUT THERE ARE SOME PARTS WHICH HAVE RELATION T
O IT, AND WHICH THE NATURE OF THE WORK REQUIR'D; AND THOSE PARTS ARE AS ACCURATE
LY AND JUSTLY PERFORM'D, AS IF EACH PART HAD BEEN DONE BY ONE WHO WAS PARTICULAR
LY VERS'D IN THE ART OR SCIENCE REFER'D TO.
1289-FC/1713:016(095) AS FOR INSTANCE, $HOMER COULD NEVER HAVE DESCRIB'D AS HE O
UGHT, NOR IN THE MANNER HE HAS DONE, A CHARIOT OR A CHARIOT=WHEEL, WITHOUT THE P
ARTICULAR KNOWLEDGE OF A COACHMAKER: AND SUCH KNOWLEDGE WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY
 TO HIS PURPOSE, FOR IF HE HAD TALK'D OF THOSE THINGS WITHOUT THAT ACCURATE KNOW
LEDG, HE HAD CERTAINLY FALLEN INTO THOSE MISTAKES WHICH MEN EVER DO, WHEN THEY V
ENTURE TO TALK OF WHAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND; AND IF HE HAD OMITTED SUCH DESCRI
PTIONS, HIS POEM WHICH HE DESIGN'D FOR ETERNITY TO PLEASE AND INSTRUCT MANKIND H
AD BEEN IMPERFECT.
1290-FC/1713:017(044) IT IS THIS UNIVERSAL KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS DISPLAY'D IN THE
"$ILIAD", WHICH MAKES IT ESTEEM'D SO PERFECT A WORK, AND IS THE FOUNDATION OF TH
AT KNOWN COMMENDATION OF $HOMER BY THE CRITICKS, THAT THE PRINCIPLES OF ALL ARTS
 AND SCIENCES ARE CONTAIN'D IN HIM.
1291-FC/1713:018(084) BUT TO COME TO AN INSTANCE WHEREIN WE ARE MORE CONCERN'D:
THE "BIBLE" CONTAINS A COLLECTION OF TRACTS GIVEN US AT DIVERS TIMES BY $GOD HIM
SELF; AND CONSEQUENTLY EVERY THING THEREIN MENTION'D IS HANDLED WITH THE UTMOST
DEGREE OF EXACTNESS: FOR IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT $GOD, WHEN HE CONDESCENDS TO TEAC
H MANKIND BY WRITING OR BOOKS, SHOULD WRITE AS ILL OR WORSE THAN MORTAL MEN, AND
 ACT AGAINST THE RULES OF ART IN WRITING, AND EXPRESS ERROR AND FALSHOOD INSTEAD
 OF JUSTNESS AND PROPORTION.
1292-FC/1713:019(024) NOW THERE IS NOT PERHAPS IN THE WORLD SO MISCELLANEOUS A B
OOK, AND WHICH TREATS OF SUCH VARIETY OF THINGS AS THE "BIBLE" DOES.
1293-FC/1713:020(048) THERE IS A NATURAL HISTORY OF THE CREATION OF THE WHOLE UN
IVERSE, AND OF AN UNIVERSAL DELUGE OF THIS $EARTH; AND A CIVIL AND ECCLESIASTICA
L HISTORY OF ALL MANKIND FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD FOR ABOVE 2000 YEARS, A
ND OF A PARTICULAR NATION FOR ABOVE 800 YEARS.
1294-FC/1713:021(052) THERE ARE CONTAIN'D IN IT THE MUNICIPAL LAWS OF A COUNTRY,
 THE INSTITUTION OF TWO RELIGIONS (ONE WHEREOF WAS TO PUT AN END TO THE OTHER) S
EVERAL NATURAL AND MIRACULOUS PHAENOMENA OF NATURE, DESCRIPTIONS OF MAGNIFICENT
BUILDINGS, REFERENCES TO HUSBANDRY, SAILING, PHYSICK, PHARMACY, MATHEMATICKS, AN
D EVERY THING ELSE THAT CAN BE NAMED.
1295-FC/1713:022(019) AND INDEED THE COMPASS OF SUCH A HISTORY SHEWS THAT NO ART
 OR SCIENCE CAN BE UNTOUCH'D IN IT.
1296-FC/1713:023(036) TO UNDERSTAND THE MATTER THEREFORE OF THIS BOOK, REQUIRES
THE MOST THINKING OF ALL OTHER BOOKS; SINCE TO BE MASTER OF THE WHOLE, A MAN MUS
T BE ABLE TO THINK JUSTLY IN EVERY SCIENCE AND ART.
1297-FC/1713:024(040) WHO CAN UNDERSTAND THE ORDER AND PERFECTION OF THE HISTORI
CAL PART, AND THE COMPLETION OF THE PROPHECIES ABOUT OUR BLESSED SAVIOUR, WITHOU
T BEING A CONSUMMATE MASTER IN ANTIENT HISTORY, AND CHRONOLOGY, AND IN THE LAWS
OF EACH OF THOSE ARTS?
1298-FC/1713:025(052) HOW MANY YEARS OF THE LIFE OF THE GREATEST CHRONOLOGER OF
THE WORLD (THE PRESENT BISHOP OF $WORCESTER) MUST HAVE BEEN SPENT ONLY IN ADJUST
ING THE SEVENTY WEEKS OF "$DANIEL" TO THE TIMES OF THE MESSIAH, WHEN HIS LORDSHI
P'S WORK ON THAT SUBJECT HAS ALREADY BEEN ABOVE TEN YEARS IN THE PRESS?
1299-FC/1713:026(034) WHO CAN FRAME AN IDEA OF THE BEAUTY AND MAGNIFICENCE OF $S
OLOMON'S TEMPLE, OR OF THAT MODEL DELINEATED IN "$EZEKIEL", WITHOUT A PERFECT KN
OWLEDGE IN MATHEMATICKS, AND IN PARTICULAR OF THE RULES OF ARCHITECTURE?
1300-FC/1713:027(017) WHO CAN HAVE A JUST NOTION OF THE CREATION AND DELUGE, WIT
HOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF ALL NATURE?
1301-FC/1713:028(049) HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ANY MAN TO ENTER INTO THE MEANING O
F THE SEVERAL PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE, WHICH SEEMINGLY EXHIBIT TO US AN IDEA OF $G
OD AFTER A HUMAN MANNER, WITHOUT THE MOST REFIN'D METAPHYSICKS, AND THE DEEPEST
THINKING AND PHILOSOPHIZING ON THE NATURE AND ATTRIBUTES OF $GOD?
1302-FC/1713:029(026) NAY, THE MORALITY OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE IS NOT TO BE PRECI
SELY AND DISTINCTLY UNDERSTOOD, WITHOUT AN ANTECEDENT KNOWLEDGE IN ETHICKS, OR T
HE LAW OF NATURE.
1303-FC/1713:030(038) WHO CAN WITHOUT A KNOWLEDGE IN THAT LAW UNDERSTAND WHEREIN
 CONSIST THE DUTIES OF LOVING OUR ENEMIES, OF NOT CARING FOR THE MORROW, OF NOT
HAVING TWO COATS, AND ALL OTHER DUTIES EXPRESS'D IN SO UNIVERSAL A MANNER?
1304-FC/1713:031(027) THE PASSAGES THEMSELVES NOT EXHIBITING THE NECESSARY LIMIT
ATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS WHICH ARE IMPLY'D, THOSE RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS AR
E ONLY TO BE DEDUC'D FROM THE LAW OF NATURE.
1305-FC/1713:032(034) NAY, WHEN THE DUTIES ENJOIN'D ARE AS UNIVERSAL AS THE EXPR
ESSIONS, THAT UNIVERSALITY IS ONLY TO BE KNOWN BY CONSIDERING WHETHER THE LAW OF
 NATURE IN THOSE CASES ADMITS OF ANY LIMITATION OR NO.
1306-FC/1713:033(024) SO THAT NO MORAL DUTY WHATSOEVER CONTAIN'D IN SCRIPTURE CA
N BE PRECISELY AND WITH CERTAINTY UNDERSTOOD, WITHOUT A KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAW OF
NATURE.
1307-FC/1713:034(058) UPON THE WHOLE THEREFORE, THINKING UPON ALL HUMAN SCIENCES
 BEING THE ONLY WAY OF ARRIVING AT PERFECTION IN THEM; NAY, BEING THE ONLY METHO
D TO MAKE A MAN UNDERSTAND THE SUBLIMEST OF ALL SCIENCES, THEOLOGY, OR THE WILL
OF $GOD CONTAIN'D IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES: IT MUST BE AT LEAST LAWFUL, OR A MAN'S
 RIGHT, TO THINK FREELY.
1308-EE/1714:001(038) FOR IMMEDIATELY THEREUPON, THE JUSTICE GIVING COMMAND FOR
THE APPREHENDING US, THE CONSTABLES WITH THE RABBLE FELL ON US, AND DREW SOME, A
ND DROVE OTHERS INTO THE INN; GIVING THEREBY AN OPPORTUNITY TO THE REST TO WALK
AWAY.
1309-EE/1714:002(009) OF THOSE THAT WERE THUS TAKEN, I WAS ONE.
1310-EE/1714:003(037) AND BEING, WITH MANY MORE, PUT INTO A ROOM, UNDER A GUARD;
 WE WERE KEPT THERE TILL ANOTHER JUSTICE (CALLED SIR $THOMAS_CLAYTON, WHOM JUSTI
CE $BENETT HAD SENT FOR TO JOYN WITH HIM IN COMMITTING US) WAS COME.
1311-EE/1714:004(077) AND THEN, BEING CALLED FORTH SEVERALLY BEFORE THEM, THEY P
ICKED TEN OF US, AND COMMITTED US TO $ALESBURY GOAL, FOR WHAT NEITHER WE NOR THE
Y KNEW: FOR WE WERE NOT CONVICTED OF HAVING EITHER DONE, OR SAID ANY THING, WHIC
H THE LAW COULD TAKE HOLD OF: FOR THEY TOOK US UP IN THE OPEN STREET (THE KING'S
 HIGH=WAY) NOT DOING ANY UNLAWFUL ACT; BUT PEACEABLY CARRYING AND ACCOMPANYING T
HE CORPS OF OUR DECEASED FRIEND, TO BURY IT.
1312-EE/1714:005(060) WHICH THEY WOULD NOT SUFFER US TO DO; BUT CAUSED THE BODY
TO LIE IN THE OPEN STREET, AND IN THE CART=WAY; SO THAT ALL THE TRAVELLERS THAT
PASSED BY (WHETHER HORSE=MEN, COACHES, CARTS, OR WAGGONS) WERE FAIN TO BREAK OUT
 OF THE WAY, TO GO BY IT, THAT THEY MIGHT NOT DRIVE OVER IT, UNTIL IT WAS ALMOST
 NIGHT.
1313-EE/1714:006(042) AND THEN, HAVING CAUSED A GRAVE TO BE MADE IN THE UNCONSEC
RATED PART (AS IT IS ACCOUNTED) OF THAT WHICH IS CALLED THE CHURCH=YARD, THEY FO
RCIBLY TOOK THE BODY FROM THE WIDOW (WHOSE RIGHT AND PROPERTY IT WAS) AND BURIED
 IT THERE.
1314-EE/1714:007(107) WHEN THE JUSTICES HAD DELIVERED US PRISONERS TO THE CONSTA
BLE, IT BEING THEN LATE IN THE DAY, WHICH WAS THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK; HE (N
OT WILLING TO GO SO FAR AS $ALESBURY (NINE LONG MILES) WITH US THAT NIGHT, NOR T
O PUT THE TOWN TO THE CHARGE OF KEEPING US THERE THAT NIGHT, AND THE FIRST DAY A
ND NIGHT FOLLOWING) DISMIST US UPON OUR PAROLE TO COME TO HIM AGAIN AT A SET HOU
R ON THE SECOND DAY MORNING: WHEREUPON WE ALL WENT HOME TO OUR RESPECTIVE HABITA
TIONS; AND COMING TO HIM PUNCTUALLY ACCORDING TO PROMISE, WERE BY HIM (WITHOUT G
UARD) CONDUCTED TO THE PRISON.
1315-EE/1714:008(102) THE GOALER (WHOSE NAME WAS $NATHANIEL_BIRCH) HAD NOT LONG
BEFORE BEHAVED HIMSELF VERY WICKEDLY, WITH GREAT RUDENESS AND CRUELTY, TO SOME O
F OUR FRIENDS OF THE LOWER SIDE OF THE COUNTY; WHOM HE (COMBINING WITH THE CLERK
 OF THE PEACE, WHOSE NAME WAS $HENRY_WELLS) HAD CONTRIVED TO GET INTO HIS GOAL,
AND AFTER THEY WERE LEGALLY DISCHARGED IN COURT, DETAINED THEM IN PRISON, USING
GREAT VIOLENCE, AND SHUTTING THEM UP CLOSE IN THE COMMON GOAL AMONG THE FELONS,
BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT GIVE HIM HIS UNRIGHTEOUS DEMAND OF FEES; WHICH THEY WERE
THE MORE STRAIGHTNED IN, FROM HIS TREACHEROUS DEALING WITH THEM.
1316-EE/1714:009(012) AND THEY HAVING, THROUGH SUFFERING, MAINTAINED THEIR FREED
OM, AND OBTAINED THEIR LIBERTY.
1317-EE/1714:010(037) WE WERE THE MORE CONCERNED TO KEEP, WHAT THEY HAD SO HARDL
Y GAINED; AND THEREFORE RESOLVED NOT TO MAKE ANY CONTRACT OR TERMS FOR EITHER CH
AMBER=RENT OR FEES, BUT TO DEMAND A FREE PRISON; WHICH WE DID.
1318-EE/1714:011(088) WHEN WE CAME IN, THE GOALER WAS RIDDEN OUT, TO WAIT ON THE
 JUDGES (WHO CAME IN THAT DAY TO BEGIN THE ASSIZE;) AND HIS WIFE WAS SOMEWHAT AT
 A LOSS HOW TO DEAL WITH US: BUT BEING A CUNNING WOMAN, SHE TREATED US WITH GREA
T APPEARANCE OF COURTESY, OFFERING US THE CHOICE OF ALL HER ROOMS; AND WHEN WE A
SKED, UPON WHAT TERMS, SHE STILL REFER'D US TO HER HUSBAND, TELLING US, SHE DID
NOT DOUBT BUT THAT HE WOULD BE VERY REASONABLE, AND CIVIL TO US.
1319-EE/1714:012(025) THUS SHE ENDEAVOURED TO HAVE DRAWN US TO TAKE POSSESSION O
F SOME OF HER CHAMBERS AT A VENTURE, AND TRUST TO HER HUSBAND'S KIND USAGE.
1320-EE/1714:013(055) BUT WE, WHO AT THE COST OF OUR FRIENDS, HAD A PROOF OF HIS
 KINDNESS, WERE TOO WARY TO BE DRAWN IN BY THE FAIR WORDS OF A WOMAN: AND THEREF
ORE TOLD HER, WE WOULD NOT SETTLE ANY WHERE TILL HER HUSBAND CAME HOME; AND THEN
 WOULD HAVE A FREE PRISON, WHERESOEVER HE PUT US.
1321-EE/1714:014(068) ACCORDINGLY, WALKING ALL TOGETHER INTO THE COURT OF THE PR
ISON, IN WHICH WAS A WELL OF VERY GOOD WATER; AND HAVING BEFORE HAND SENT TO A F
RIEND IN THE TOWN (A WIDOW WOMAN, WHOSE NAME WAS $SARAH_LAMBARN) TO BRING US SOM
E BREAD AND CHEESE, WE SATE DOWN UPON THE GROUND, ROUND ABOUT THE WELL; AND WHEN
 WE HAD EATEN, WE DRANK OF THE WATER OUT OF THE WELL.
1322-EE/1714:015(041) OUR GREAT CONCERN WAS FOR OUR FRIEND $ISAAC_PENINGTON, BEC
AUSE OF THE TENDERNESS OF HIS CONSTITUTION: BUT HE WAS SO LIVELY IN HIS SPIRIT,
AND SO CHEERFULLY GIVEN UP TO SUFFER, THAT HE RATHER ENCOURAGED US, THAN NEEDED
ANY ENCOURAGEMMENT FROM US.
1323-EE/1714:016(094) IN THIS POSTURE THE GOALER, WHEN HE CAME HOME, FOUND US; A
ND HAVING BEFORE HE CAME TO US, CONSULTED HIS WIFE, AND BY HER UNDERSTOOD ON WHA
T TERMS WE STOOD: WHEN HE CAME TO US, HE HID HIS TEETH, AND PUTTING ON A SHEW OF
 KINDNESS, SEEMED MUCH TROUBLED THAT WE SHOULD SIT THERE ABROAD, ESPECIALLY HIS
OLD FRIEND, MR $PENINGTON; AND THEREUPON INVITED US TO COME IN, AND TAKE WHAT RO
OMS IN HIS HOUSE WE PLEASED; WE ASKED, UPON WHAT TERMS; LETTING HIM KNOW WITHAL,
 THAT WE DETERMINED TO HAVE A FREE PRISON.
1324-EE/1714:017(052) HE, LIKE THE SUN AND WIND IN THE FABLE, THAT STROVE WHICH
OF THEM SHOULD TAKE FROM THE TRAVELLER HIS CLOAK; HAVING (LIKE THE WIND) TRIED R
OUGH, BOISTEROUS, VIOLENT MEANS TO OUR FRIENDS BEFORE, BUT IN VAIN: RESOLVED NOW
 TO IMITATE THE SUN, AND SHINE AS PLEASANTLY AS HE COULD UPON US.
1325-EE/1714:018(044) WHEREFORE HE TOLD US, WE SHOULD MAKE THE TERMS OUR SELVES,
 AND BE AS FREE AS WE DESIRED: IF WE THOUGHT FIT, WHEN WE WERE RELEASED TO GIVE
HIM ANY THING, HE WOULD THANK US FOR IT; AND IF NOT, HE WOULD DEMAND NOTHING.
1326-EE/1714:019(023) UPON THESE TERMS WE WENT IN, AND DISPOSED OUR SELVES; SOME
 IN THE DWELLING=HOUSE, OTHERS IN THE MALT=HOUSE, WHERE THEY CHOSE TO BE.
1327-EE/1714:020(039) DURING THE ASSIZE, WE WERE BROUGHT BEFORE JUDGE $MORTON (A
 SOWRE ANGRY MAN) WHO VERY RUDELY REVILED US, BUT WOULD NOT HEAR EITHER US OR TH
E CAUSE; BUT REFERRED THE MATTER TO THE TWO JUSTICES WHO HAD COMMITTED US.
1328-EE/1714:021(052) THEY, WHEN THE ASSIZE WAS ENDED, SENT FOR US TO BE BROUGHT
 BEFORE THEM AT THEIR INN; AND FINED US (AS I REMEMBER) SIX SHILLINGS EIGHT PENC
E A PIECE; WHICH WE NOT CONSENTING TO PAY, THEY COMMITTED US TO PRISON AGAIN FOR
 ONE MONTH FROM THAT TIME, ON THE ACT FOR BANISHMENT.
1329-EE/1714:022(034) WHEN WE HAD LAIN THERE THAT MONTH, I (WITH ANOTHER) WENT T
O THE GOALER, TO DEMAND OUR LIBERTY: WHICH HE READILY GRANTED; TELLING US, THE D
OOR SHOULD BE OPENED, WHEN WE PLEASED TO GO.
1330-EE/1714:023(102) THIS ANSWER OF HIS I REPORTED TO THE REST OF MY FRIENDS TH
ERE, AND THEREUPON WE RAISED AMONG US A SMALL SUM OF MONEY, WHICH THEY PUT INTO
MY HAND, FOR THE GOALER: WHEREUPON I (TAKING ANOTHER WITH ME) WENT TO THE GOALER
 WITH THE MONEY IN MY HAND; AND REMINDING HIM OF THE TERMS UPON WHICH WE ACCEPTE
D THE USE OF HIS ROOMS, I TOLD HIM, THAT ALTHOUGH WE COULD NOT PAY CHAMBER=RENT
OR FEES: YET INASMUCH AS HE HAD NOW BEEN CIVIL TO US, WE WERE WILLING TO ACKNOWL
EDGE IT BY A SMALL TOKEN; AND THEREUPON GAVE HIM THE MONEY.
1331-EE/1714:024(041) HE PUTTING IT INTO HIS POCKET, SAID, I THANK YOU AND YOUR
FRIENDS FOR IT: AND TO LET YOU SEE I TAKE IT AS A GIFT, NOT A DEBT, I WILL NOT L
OOK ON IT, TO SEE HOW MUCH IT IS.
1332-EE/1714:025(018) THE PRISON DOOR BEING THEN SET OPEN FOR US, WE WENT OUT, A
ND DEPARTED TO OUR RESPECTIVE HOMES.
1333-EE/1714:026(033) BUT BEFORE I LEFT THE PRISON, CONSIDERING ONE DAY WITH MY
SELF THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF LIBERTY AND CONFINEMENT, FREEDOM AND BONDAGE, I TOOK
 MY PEN, AND WROTE THE FOLLOWING AENIGMA, OR RIDDLE.
1334-EE/1714:027(052) SOME LITTLE TIME BEFORE I WENT TO $ALESBURY PRISON, I WAS
DESIRED BY MY QUONDAM MASTER $MILTON TO TAKE AN HOUSE FOR HIM, IN THE NEIGHBOURH
OOD WHERE I DWELT, THAT HE MIGHT GO OUT OF THE CITY, FOR THE SAFETY OF HIMSELF A
ND HIS FAMILY, THE PESTILENCE THEN GROWING HOT IN $LONDON.
1335-EE/1714:028(039) I TOOK A PRETTY BOX FOR HIM IN $GILES=CHALFONT, A MILE FRO
M ME; OF WHICH I GAVE HIM NOTICE: AND INTENDED TO HAVE WAITED ON HIM, AND SEEN H
IM WELL SETTLED IN IT; BUT WAS PREVENTED BY THAT IMPRISONMENT.
1336-EE/1714:029(020) BUT NOW BEING RELEASED, AND RETURNED HOME, I SOON MADE A V
ISIT TO HIM, TO WELCOME HIM INTO THE COUNTRY.
1337-EE/1714:030(049) AFTER SOME COMMON DISCOURSES HAD PASSED BETWEEN US, HE CAL
LED FOR A MANUSCRIPT OF HIS; WHICH BEING BROUGHT HE DELIVERED TO ME, BIDDING ME
TAKE IT HOME WITH ME, AND READ IT AT MY LEISURE, AND WHEN I HAD SO DONE, RETURN
IT TO HIM, WITH MY JUDGMENT THEREUPON.
1338-EE/1714:031(024) WHEN I CAME HOME, AND HAD SET MY SELF TO READ IT, I FOUND
IT WAS THAT EXCELLENT POEM, WHICH HE ENTITLED "PARADISE LOST".
1339-EE/1714:032(035) AFTER I HAD, WITH THE BEST ATTENTION, READ IT THROUGH, I M
ADE HIM ANOTHER VISIT, AND RETURNED HIM HIS BOOK, WITH DUE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF TH
E FAVOUR HE HAD DONE ME, IN COMMUNICATING IT TO ME.
1340-EE/1714:033(049) HE ASKED ME HOW I LIKED IT, AND WHAT I THOUGHT OF IT; WHIC
H I MODESTLY BUT FREELY TOLD HIM: AND AFTER SOME FURTHER DISCOURSE ABOUT IT, I P
LEASANTLY SAID TO HIM, THOU HAST SAID MUCH HERE OF PARADISE LOST; BUT WHAT HAST
THOU TO SAY OF PARADISE FOUND?
1341-EE/1714:034(022) HE MADE ME NO ANSWER, BUT SATE SOME TIME IN A MUSE: THEN B
RAKE OFF THE DISCOURSE, AND FELL UPON ANOTHER SUBJECT.
1342-EE/1714:035(018) AFTER THE SICKNESS WAS OVER, AND THE CITY WELL CLEANSED AN
D BECOME SAFELY HABITABLE AGAIN, HE RETURNED THITHER.
1343-EE/1714:036(068) AND WHEN AFTERWARDS I WENT TO WAIT ON HIM THERE (WHICH I S
ELDOM FAILED OF DOING, WHENEVER MY OCCASIONS DREW ME TO $LONDON) HE SHEWED ME HI
S SECOND POEM, CALLED "PARADISE REGAINED"; AND IN A PLEASANT TONE SAID TO ME, "T
HIS IS OWING TO YOU: FOR YOU PUT IT INTO MY HEAD, BY THE QUESTION YOU PUT TO ME
AT $CHALFONT; WHICH BEFORE I HAD NOT THOUGHT OF".
1344-EE/1714:037(013) BUT FROM THIS DIGRESSION I RETURN TO THE FAMILY I THEN LIV
ED IN.
1345-EM/1714:001(162) LAWS AND GOVERNMENT ARE TO THE POLITICAL BODIES OF CIVIL S
OCIETIES, WHAT THE VITAL SPIRITS AND LIFE IT SELF ARE TO THE NATURAL BODIES OF A
NIMATED CREATURES; AND AS THOSE THAT STUDY THE ANATOMY OF DEAD CARCASES MAY SEE,
 THAT THE CHIEF ORGANS AND NICEST SPRINGS MORE IMMEDIATELY REQUIRED TO CONTINUE
THE MOTION OF OUR MACHINE, ARE NOT HARD BONES, STRONG MUSCLES AND NERVES, NOR TH
E SMOOTH WHITE SKIN THAT SO BEAUTIFULLY COVERS THEM, BUT SMALL TRIFLING FILMS AN
D LITTLE PIPES THAT ARE EITHER OVER=LOOK'D, OR ELSE SEEM INCONSIDERABLE TO VULGA
R EYES; SO THEY THAT EXAMINE INTO THE NATURE OF MAN, ABSTRACT FROM ART AND EDUCA
TION, MAY OBSERVE, THAT WHAT RENDERS HIM A SOCIABLE ANIMAL, CONSISTS NOT IN HIS
DESIRE OF COMPANY, GOOD=NATURE, PITY, AFFABILITY, AND OTHER GRACES OF A FAIR OUT
SIDE; BUT THAT HIS VILEST AND MOST HATEFUL QUALITIES ARE THE MOST NECESSARY ACCO
MPLISHMENTS TO FIT HIM FOR THE LARGEST, AND, ACCORDING TO THE WORLD, THE HAPPIES
T AND MOST FLOURISHING SOCIETIES.
1346-EM/1714:002(046) THE FOLLOWING FABLE, IN WHICH WHAT I HAVE SAID IS SET FORT
H AT LARGE, WAS PRINTED ABOVE EIGHT YEARS AGO IN A SIX PENNY PAMPHLET, CALL'D, "
THE GRUMBLING HIVE; OR KNAVES TURN'D HONEST"; AND BEING SOON AFTER PIRATED, CRY'
D ABOUT THE STREETS IN A HALF=PENNY SHEET.
1347-EM/1714:003(043) SINCE THE FIRST PUBLISHING OF IT I HAVE MET WITH SEVERAL T
HAT EITHER WILFULLY OR IGNORANTLY MISTAKING THE DESIGN, WOULD HAVE IT, THAT THE
SCOPE OF IT WAS A SATYR UPON VIRTUE AND MORALITY, AND THE WHOLE WROTE FOR THE EN
COURAGEMENT OF VICE.
1348-EM/1714:004(027) THIS MADE ME RESOLVE, WHENEVER IT SHOULD BE REPRINTED, SOM
E WAY OR OTHER TO INFORM THE READER OF THE REAL INTENT THIS LITTLE POEM WAS WROT
E WITH.
1349-EM/1714:005(069) I DO NOT DIGNIFY THESE FEW LOOSE LINES WITH THE NAME OF PO
EM, THAT I WOULD HAVE THE READER EXPECT ANY POETRY IN THEM, BUT BARELY BECAUSE T
HEY ARE RHIME, AND I AM IN REALITY PUZZLED WHAT NAME TO GIVE THEM; FOR THEY ARE
NEITHER HEROICK NOR PASTORAL, SATYR, BURLESQUE NOR HEROI=COMICK; TO BE A TALE TH
EY WANT PROBABILITY, AND THE WHOLE IS RATHER TOO LONG FOR A FABLE.
1350-EM/1714:006(050) ALL I CAN SAY OF THEM IS, THAT THEY ARE A STORY TOLD IN DO
GREL, WHICH WITHOUT THE LEAST DESIGN OF BEING WITTY, I HAVE ENDEAVOUR'D TO DO IN
 AS EASY AND FAMILIAR A MANNER AS I WAS ABLE: THE READER SHALL BE WELCOME TO CAL
L THEM WHAT HE PLEASES.
1351-EM/1714:007(035) 'TWAS SAID OF $MONTAIGNE, THAT HE WAS PRETTY WELL VERS'D I
N THE DEFECTS OF MANKIND, BUT UNACQUAINTED WITH THE EXCELLENCIES OF HUMAN NATURE
: IF I FARE NO WORSE, I SHALL THINK MY SELF WELL USED.
1352-EM/1714:008(056) WHAT COUNTRY SOEVER IN THE UNIVERSE IS TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY
 THE BEE=HIVE REPRESENTED HERE, IT IS EVIDENT FROM WHAT IS SAID OF THE LAWS AND
CONSTITUTION OF IT, THE GLORY, WEALTH, POWER AND INDUSTRY OF ITS INHABITANTS, TH
AT IT MUST BE A LARGE, RICH AND WARLIKE NATION, THAT IS HAPPILY GOVERN'D BY A LI
MITED MONARCHY.
1353-EM/1714:009(081) THE SATYR THEREFORE TO BE MET WITH IN THE FOLLOWING LINES
UPON THE SEVERAL PROFESSIONS AND CALLINGS, AND ALMOST EVERY DEGREE AND STATION O
F PEOPLE, WAS NOT MADE TO INJURE AND POINT TO PARTICULAR PERSONS, BUT ONLY TO SH
EW THE VILENESS OF THE INGREDIENTS THAT ALL TOGETHER COMPOSE THE WHOLESOME MIXTU
RE OF A WELL=ORDER'D SOCIETY; IN ORDER TO EXTOL THE WONDERFUL POWER OF POLITICAL
 WISDOM, BY THE HELP OF WHICH SO BEAUTIFUL A MACHINE IS RAIS'D FROM THE MOST CON
TEMPTIBLE BRANCHES.
1354-EM/1714:010(139) FOR THE MAIN DESIGN OF THE FABLE, (AS IT IS BRIEFLY EXPLAI
N'D IN THE MORAL) IS TO SHEW THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF ENJOYING ALL THE MOST ELEGANT
COMFORTS OF LIFE THAT ARE TO BE MET WITH IN AN INDUSTRIOUS, WEALTHY AND POWERFUL
 NATION, AND AT THE SAME TIME BE BLESS'D WITH ALL THE VIRTUE AND INNOCENCE THAT
CAN BE WISH'D FOR IN A GOLDEN AGE; FROM THENCE TO EXPOSE THE UNREASONABLENESS AN
D FOLLY OF THOSE, THAT DESIROUS OF BEING AN OPULENT AND FLOURISHING PEOPLE, AND
WONDERFULLY GREEDY AFTER ALL THE BENEFITS THEY CAN RECEIVE AS SUCH, ARE YET ALWA
YS MURMURING AT AND EXCLAIMING AGAINST THOSE VICES AND INCONVENIENCES, THAT FROM
 THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD TO THIS PRESENT DAY, HAVE BEEN INSEPARABLE FROM ALL
KINGDOMS AND STATES THAT EVER WERE FAM'D FOR STRENGTH, RICHES, AND POLITENESS, A
T THE SAME TIME.
1355-EM/1714:011(023) TO DO THIS, I FIRST SLIGHTLY TOUCH UPON SOME OF THE FAULTS
 AND CORRUPTIONS THE SEVERAL PROFESSIONS AND CALLINGS ARE GENERALLY CHARGED WITH
.
1356-EM/1714:012(027) AFTER THAT I SHEW THAT THOSE VERY VICES OF EVERY PARTICULA
R PERSON BY SKILFUL MANAGEMENT, WERE MADE SUBSERVIENT TO THE GRANDEUR AND WORLDL
Y HAPPINESS OF THE WHOLE.
1357-EM/1714:013(071) LASTLY, BY SETTING FORTH WHAT OF NECESSITY MUST BE THE CON
SEQUENCE OF GENERAL HONESTY AND VIRTUE, AND NATIONAL TEMPERANCE, INNOCENCE AND C
ONTENT, I DEMONSTRATE THAT IF MANKIND COULD BE CURED OF THE FAILINGS THEY ARE NA
TURALLY GUILTY OF, THEY WOULD CEASE TO BE CAPABLE OF BEING RAIS'D INTO SUCH VAST
, POTENT AND POLITE SOCIETIES, AS THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER THE SEVERAL GREAT COMMONW
EALTHS AND MONARCHIES THAT HAVE FLOURISH'D SINCE THE CREATION.
1358-EM/1714:014(155) IF YOU ASK ME, WHY I HAVE DONE ALL THIS, <CUI BONO>, AND W
HAT GOOD THESE NOTIONS WILL PRODUCE, TRULY, BESIDES THE READER'S DIVERSION, I BE
LIEVE NONE AT ALL; BUT IF I WAS ASK'D, WHAT NATURALLY OUGHT TO BE EXPECTED FROM
'EM, I WOU'D ANSWER, THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE THE PEOPLE, WHO CONTINUALLY FIND FA
ULT WITH OTHERS, BY READING THEM, WOULD BE TAUGHT TO LOOK AT HOME, AND EXAMINING
 THEIR OWN CONSCIENCES, BE MADE ASHAM'D OF ALWAYS RAILING AT WHAT THEY ARE MORE
OR LESS GUILTY OF THEMSELVES; AND THAT IN THE NEXT, THOSE WHO ARE SO FOND OF THE
 EASE AND COMFORTS, AND REAP ALL THE BENEFITS THAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCE OF A GREA
T AND FLOURISHING NATION, WOULD LEARN MORE PATIENTLY TO SUBMIT TO THOSE INCONVEN
IENCES, WHICH NO GOVERNMENT UPON EARTH CAN REMEDY, WHEN THEY SHOULD SEE THE IMPO
SSIBILITY OF ENJOYING ANY GREAT SHARE OF THE FIRST, WITHOUT PARTAKING LIKEWISE O
F THE LATTER.
1359-EM/1714:015(071) THIS I SAY OUGHT NATURALLY TO BE EXPECTED FROM THE PUBLISH
ING OF THESE NOTIONS, IF PEOPLE WERE TO BE MADE BETTER BY ANY THING THAT COULD B
E SAID TO THEM; BUT MANKIND HAVING FOR SO MANY AGES REMAIN'D STILL THE SAME, NOT
WITHSTANDING THE MANY INSTRUCTIVE AND ELABORATE WRITINGS, BY WHICH THEIR AMENDME
NT HAS BEEN ENDEAVOUR'D, I AM NOT SO VAIN AS TO HOPE FOR BETTER SUCCESS FROM SO
INCONSIDERABLE A TRIFLE.
1360-EM/1714:016(071) HAVING ALLOW'D THE SMALL ADVANTAGE THIS LITTLE WHIM IS LIK
ELY TO PRODUCE, I THINK MY SELF OBLIG'D TO SHEW, THAT IT CANNOT BE PREJUDICIAL T
O ANY; FOR WHAT IS PUBLISHED, IF IT DOES NO GOOD, OUGHT AT LEAST TO DO NO HARM:
IN ORDER TO THIS I HAVE MADE SOME EXPLANATORY NOTES, TO WHICH THE READER WILL FI
ND HIMSELF REFERR'D IN THOSE PASSAGES THAT SEEM TO BE MOST LIABLE TO EXCEPTIONS.

1361-EM/1714:017(099) THE CENSORIOUS THAT NEVER SAW THE "GRUMBLING HIVE", WILL T
ELL ME, THAT WHATEVER I MAY TALK OF THE FABLE, IT NOT TAKING UP A TENTH PART OF
THE BOOK, WAS ONLY CONTRIV'D TO INTRODUCE THE "REMARKS"; THAT INSTEAD OF CLEARIN
G UP THE DOUBTFUL OR OBSCURE PLACES, I HAVE ONLY PITCH'D UPON SUCH AS I HAD A MI
ND TO EXPATIATE UPON; AND THAT FAR FROM STRIVING TO EXTENUATE THE ERRORS COMMITT
ED BEFORE, I HAVE MADE BAD WORSE, AND SHEWN MY SELF A MORE BAREFACED CHAMPION FO
R VICE, IN THE RAMBLING DIGRESSIONS, THAN I HAD DONE IN THE FABLE IT SELF.
1362-EM/1714:018(080) I SHALL SPEND NO TIME IN ANSWERING THESE ACCUSATIONS; WHER
E MEN ARE PREJUDICED, THE BEST APOLOGIES ARE LOST; AND I KNOW THAT THOSE WHO THI
NK IT CRIMINAL TO SUPPOSE A NECESSITY OF VICE IN ANY CASE WHATEVER, WILL NEVER B
E RECONCIL'D TO ANY PART OF THE PERFORMANCE; BUT IF THIS BE THOROUGHLY EXAMIN'D,
 ALL THE OFFENCE IT CAN GIVE, MUST RESULT FROM THE WRONG INFERENCES THAT MAY PER
HAPS BE DRAWN FROM IT, AND WHICH I DESIRE NO BODY TO MAKE.
1363-EM/1714:019(055) WHEN I ASSERT, THAT VICES ARE INSEPARABLE FROM GREAT AND P
OTENT SOCIETIES, AND THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THEIR WEALTH AND GRANDEUR SHOULD SUBS
IST WITHOUT, I DO NOT SAY THAT THE PARTICULAR MEMBERS OF THEM WHO ARE GUILTY OF
ANY SHOULD NOT BE CONTINUALLY REPROV'D, OR NOT BE PUNISH'D FOR THEM WHEN THEY GR
OW INTO CRIMES.
1364-EM/1714:020(090) THERE ARE, I BELIEVE, FEW PEOPLE IN $LONDON, OF THOSE THAT
 ARE AT ANY TIME FORC'D TO GO A=FOOT, BUT WHAT COULD WISH THE STREETS OF IT MUCH
 CLEANER THAN GENERALLY THEY ARE; WHILE THEY REGARD NOTHING BUT THEIR OWN CLOTHE
S AND PRIVATE CONVENIENCY: BUT WHEN ONCE THEY COME TO CONSIDER, THAT WHAT OFFEND
S THEM IS THE RESULT OF THE PLENTY, GREAT TRAFFICK AND OPULENCY OF THAT MIGHTY C
ITY, IF THEY HAVE ANY CONCERN IN ITS WELFARE, THEY WILL HARDLY EVER WISH TO SEE
THE STREETS OF IT LESS DIRTY.
1365-EM/1714:021(158) FOR IF WE MIND THE MATERIALS OF ALL SORTS THAT MUST SUPPLY
 SUCH AN INFINITE NUMBER OF TRADES AND HANDICRAFTS, AS ARE ALWAYS GOING FORWARD;
 THE VAST QUANTITY OF VICTUALS, DRINK AND FEWEL THAT ARE DAILY CONSUM'D IN IT, T
HE WASTE AND SUPERFLUITIES THAT MUST BE PRODUCED FROM THEM; THE MULTITUDES OF HO
RSES AND OTHER CATTLE THAT ARE ALWAYS DAWBING THE STREETS, THE CARTS, COACHES AN
D MORE HEAVY CARRIAGES THAT ARE PERPETUALLY WEARING AND BREAKING THE PAVEMENT OF
 THEM, AND ABOVE ALL THE NUMBERLESS SWARMS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE CONTINUALLY HARASS
ING AND TRAMPLING THROUGH EVERY PART OF THEM: IF, I SAY, WE MIND ALL THESE, WE S
HALL FIND THAT EVERY MOMENT MUST PRODUCE NEW FILTH; AND CONSIDERING HOW FAR DIST
ANT THE GREAT STREETS ARE FROM THE RIVER SIDE, WHAT COST AND CARE SOEVER BE BEST
OW'D TO REMOVE THE NASTINESS ALMOST AS FAST AS 'TIS MADE, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE $LOND
ON SHOULD BE MORE CLEANLY BEFORE IT IS LESS FLOURISHING.
1366-EM/1714:022(057) NOW WOULD I ASK IF A GOOD CITIZEN, IN CONSIDERATION OF WHA
T HAS BEEN SAID, MIGHT NOT ASSERT, THAT DIRTY STREETS ARE A NECESSARY EVIL INSEP
ARABLE FROM THE FELICITY OF $LONDON, WITHOUT BEING THE LEAST HINDRANCE TO THE CL
EANING OF SHOES, OR SWEEPING OF STREETS, AND CONSEQUENTLY WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE
EITHER TO THE BLACKGUARD OR THE SCAVINGERS.
1367-EM/1714:023(050) BUT IF, WITHOUT ANY REGARD TO THE INTEREST OR HAPPINESS OF
 THE CITY, THE QUESTION WAS PUT, WHAT PLACE I THOUGHT MOST PLEASANT TO WALK IN,
NO BODY CAN DOUBT BUT, BEFORE THE STINKING STREETS OF $LONDON, I WOULD ESTEEM A
FRAGRANT GARDEN, OR A SHADY GROVE IN THE COUNTRY.
1368-EM/1714:024(086) IN THE SAME MANNER, IF LAYING ASIDE ALL WORLDLY GREATNESS
AND VAIN=GLORY, I SHOULD BE ASK'D WHERE I THOUGHT IT WAS MOST PROBABLE THAT MEN
MIGHT ENJOY TRUE HAPPINESS, I WOULD PREFER A SMALL PEACEABLE SOCIETY, IN WHICH M
EN, NEITHER ENVY'D NOR ESTEEM'D BY NEIGHBOURS, SHOULD BE CONTENTED TO LIVE UPON
THE NATURAL PRODUCT OF THE SPOT THEY INHABIT, TO A VAST MULTITUDE ABOUNDING IN W
EALTH AND POWER, THAT SHOULD ALWAYS BE CONQUERING OTHERS BY THEIR ARMS ABROAD, A
ND DEBAUCHING THEMSELVES BY FOREIGN LUXURY AT HOME.
1369-EM/1714:025(023) THUS MUCH I HAD SAID TO THE READER IN THE FIRST EDITION; A
ND HAVE ADDED NOTHING BY WAY OF PREFACE IN THE SECOND.
1370-EM/1714:026(035) BUT SINCE THAT, A VIOLENT OUT=CRY HAS BEEN MADE AGAINST TH
E BOOK, EXACTLY ANSWERING THE EXPECTATION I ALWAYS HAD OF THE JUSTICE, THE WISDO
M, THE CHARITY, AND FAIR=DEALING OF THOSE WHOSE GOOD=WILL I DESPAIR'D OF.
1371-EM/1714:027(018) IT HAS BEEN PRESENTED BY THE GRAND=JURY, AND CONDEMN'D BY
THOUSANDS WHO NEVER SAW A WORD OF IT.
1372-EM/1714:028(044) IT HAS BEEN PREACH'D AGAINST BEFORE MY LORD MAYOR; AND AN
UTTER REFUTATION OF IT IS DAILY EXPECTED FROM A REVEREND DIVINE, WHO HAD CALL'D
ME NAMES IN THE ADVERTISEMENTS, AND THREATENED TO ANSWER ME IN TWO MONTHS' TIME
FOR ABOVE FIVE MONTHS TOGETHER.
1373-EM/1714:029(046) WHAT I HAVE TO SAY FOR MY SELF, THE READER WILL SEE IN MY
VINDICATION AT THE END OF THE BOOK, WHERE HE WILL LIKEWISE FIND THE GRAND=JURY'S
 PRESENTMENT, AND A LETTER TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE LORD $CARTERET WHICH IS VERY
RHETORICAL BEYOND ARGUMENT OR CONNEXION.
1374-EM/1714:030(019) THE AUTHOR SHEWS A FINE TALENT FOR INVECTIVES, AND GREAT S
AGACITY IN DISCOVERING ATHEISM, WHERE OTHERS CAN FIND NONE.
1375-EM/1714:031(066) HE IS ZEALOUS AGAINST WICKED BOOKS, POINTS AT THE "FABLE O
F THE BEES", AND IS VERY ANGRY WITH THE AUTHOR: HE BESTOWS FOUR STRONG EPITHETS
ON THE ENORMITY OF HIS GUILT, AND BY SEVERAL ELEGANT INNUENDO'S TO THE MULTITUDE
, AS THE DANGER THERE IS IN SUFFERING SUCH AUTHORS TO LIVE, AND THE VENGEANCE OF
 HEAVEN UPON A WHOLE NATION, VERY CHARITABLY RECOMMENDS HIM TO THEIR CARE.
1376-EM/1714:032(090) CONSIDERING THE LENGTH OF THIS EPISTLE, AND THAT IT IS NOT
 WHOLLY LEVELL'D AT ME ONLY, I THOUGHT AT FIRST TO HAVE MADE SOME EXTRACTS FROM
IT OF WHAT RELATED TO MY SELF; BUT FINDING, ON A NEARER ENQUIRY, THAT WHAT CONCE
RN'D ME WAS SO BLENDED AND INTERWOVEN WITH WHAT DID NOT, I WAS OBLIG'D TO TROUBL
E THE READER WITH IT ENTIRE, NOT WITHOUT HOPES THAT, PROLIX AS IT IS, THE EXTRAV
AGANCY OF IT WILL BE ENTERTAINING TO THOSE WHO HAVE PERUSED THE TREATISE IT COND
EMNS WITH SO MUCH HORROR.
1377-EB/1716:001(098) THIS MORTAL LIFE IN ITS FULL BLOOM AND VIGOR, IS SO PRECAR
IOUS, AND IN ITS UTMOST EXTENT SO SHORT AND TRANSIENT, THAT IN THE OPINION OF ME
N OF PRUDENCE AND REFLECTION, IT MIGHTILY ABATES THE VALUE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE
 ENJOYMENTS OF THIS WORLD; AND IT IS JUST MATTER OF ASTONISHMENT, THAT SINCE ALL
 MEN HAVE A PERFECT ASSURANCE, THAT THEIR STATE OF EXISTENCE HERE IS SO UNCERTAI
N, AND FLIES AWAY WITH SUCH RAPIDITY, THAT THE PRESENT SATISFACTIONS AND DELIGHT
S, WHICH THEY MUST LEAVE SO SOON, AND FOR EVER, SHOULD NOT FALL UNDER GREATER AN
D MORE UNIVERSAL CONTEMPT.
1378-EB/1716:002(045) THE LONGEST LIFE IS A FUGITIVE AND INCONSIDERABLE DURATION
; BUT IF WE ABSTRACT FROM IT THOSE PARTS, IN WHICH WE HAVE BUT A NAKED, OR UNDEL
IGHTFUL, OR MISERABLE BEING, AND THEREFORE NOT TO BE VALU'D, UPON SUCH A CALCULA
TION, HOW GREAT MUST THE DISCOMPT BE?
1379-EB/1716:003(078) IF WE DO NOT RECKON THE LIFE OF MAN TO BEGIN TILL HE IS IN
 POSSESSION OF HIMSELF, AND CAN EXERCISE THE FACULTIES AND POWERS PECULIAR TO HI
S SPECIES, WE MUST NOT ONLY CUT OFF THE STAGE OF INFANCY AND CHILDHOOD FROM IT,
BUT LIKEWISE THAT OF OLD AGE, WHICH FOR THE GREATEST PART IS ONLY THE FLAT LEAVI
NGS OF LIFE, DECAY'D AND DRAWN OFF TO THE LEES; WHEN, THO THE ANIMAL SURVIVES, T
HE MAN DOES SCARCELY EXIST.
1380-EB/1716:004(012) AND YET BY HOW MANY OTHER WAYS IS OUR SHORT TIME CONTRACTE
D?
1381-EB/1716:005(050) ACUTE PAINS, LANGUISHING SICKNESS, AND WASTING LABOUR, BES
IDES TORMENTING ENVY AND ANXIOUS CARE, UNEASY MALICE, AND EXQUISITE GRIEF, THE V
IOLENT PERTURBATIONS AND TEMPESTS OF THE SOUL, ARISING FROM A THOUSAND VARIOUS C
AUSES, BY THE NUMEROUS GAPS AND BREAKS WHICH THEY MAKE IN LIFE, REDUCE ITS DURAT
ION TO VERY SCANTY LIMITS.
1382-EB/1716:006(065) ADD TO THESE RESTS AND INTERRUPTIONS, THE NECESSARY RETURN
S OF SLEEP, WHICH SUSPENDS THE EXERCISE OF OUR INTELLECTUAL AND SENSITIVE FACULT
IES; AND IT WILL APPEAR, THAT ALL TOGETHER THEY DEFRAUD US OF TWO=THIRDS OF OUR
TIME: IF THESE ALLOWANCES ARE MADE, AND THE ACCOMPT IS JUSTLY STATED, WHAT A MEA
N BALANCE WILL REMAIN, AS THE CLAIM OF LIFE, IF TAKEN IN THE VIEW BEFORE DESCRIB
'D?
1383-EB/1716:007(028) SO SHORT IS THE EXTENT OF OUR PRESENT EXISTENCE, IF CONSID
ER'D IN AN ABSOLUTE SENSE; BUT HOW MOMENTARY WILL IT SEEM WHEN COMPAR'D WITH AGE
S THAT NEVER END?
1384-EB/1716:008(012) WHAT IS THIS SPAN OF LIFE, WHEN WE REFLECT UPON INTERMINAB
LE DURATION?
1385-EB/1716:009(016) WHAT IS TIME BUT A LITTLE RILL, OR DROP, COMPAR'D WITH THE
 BOUNDLESS OCEAN OF ETERNITY?
1386-EB/1716:010(086) AS THIS TERRESTRIAL GLOBE IS REDUC'D TO A DESPICABLE SPOT,
 WHEN WE CONTEMPLATE THE IMMENSE BODY OF THE SUN; AND AS THE SUN IT SELF LOSES H
IS MAGNITUDE, AND IS NO MORE THAN A GLOWING ATOM, WHEN WE CONSIDER THE AMAZING C
IRCUMFERENCE OF THE UNIVERSE; SO THE WHOLE SYSTEM OF THE UNIVERSE IS CONTRACTED
TO THE MINUTEST SIZE, IF SET IN COMPETITION WITH THE GULPHS OF SPACE THAT LIE BE
YOND IT, AND THE UNLIMITED HEIGHTS AND DEPTHS, AND STILL INCREASING LENGTHS AND
BREADTHS OF VAST IMMENSITY.
1387-EB/1716:011(032) IN LIKE MANNER SHOULD THE LIFE OF MAN CONTINUE MANY AGES,
EVEN AS LONG AS THE SUN AND MOON ENDURE; YET WHEN MEASUR'D WITH IMMORTALITY, IT
WOULD SHRINK TO AN UNEXTENDED POINT.
1388-EB/1716:012(025) WHAT IS MAN BUT THE TENANT OF A MOULD OF CLAY, ENDOW'D IND
EED WITH ANGELICK FACULTIES, BUT A PERISHING WIGHT AND AN INSECT IN DURATION?
1389-EB/1716:013(019) WHAT IS THIS INTELLIGENT CREATURE, WHO THUS DISSOLVES LIKE
 THE MORNING CLOUD, AND AS THE EVENING DEW VANISHES AWAY?
1390-EB/1716:014(038) AND WHAT IS LIFE, BUT A TENDER FLOWER THAT UNFOLDS ITS BEA
UTY AND DIES IN ITS BLOOM, AN EMPTY VAPOUR OF THE AIR, THAT AS SOON AS KINDLED,
GLANCES BY OUR SIGHT, AND EXPIRES IN A SUDDEN FLASH?
1391-EB/1716:015(016) SO SHORT IS THE CONTINUANCE OF MAN IN THIS MORTAL STATE, I
F COMPARED WITH ENDLESS DURATION.
1392-EB/1716:016(095) IT MUST THEREFORE BE A MATTER OF THE HIGHEST IMPORTANCE TO
 MAKE ENQUIRY, WHETHER BY DEATH THE LIFE OF MAN IS TOTALLY EXTINGUISH'D, AND THE
 BODY COMPLICATED WITH THE COMMON MASS OF MATTER, NEVER AGAIN TO BE COLLECTED AN
D REUNITED; OR WHETHER IT WILL BE CONTINU'D IN DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, AND ANOT
HER MODE OF EXISTENCE; AND THO THE FRAME OF THE BODY BE RUIN'D, AND ITS PARTS DI
SSIPATED AND BLENDED WITH THE COMMON MASS OF MATTER, WHETHER THAT WHICH WE CALL
THE SOUL OR THE MIND, SHALL SURVIVE IN A SEPARATE STATE, AND NEVER KNOW CORRUPTI
ON.
1393-EB/1716:017(065) IF THE SOUL IS DISSOLV'D, AND PERISHES WITH THE BODY, AND
NO FUTURE EXISTENCE IS TO BE EXPECTED, THEN THE FOUNDATION OF ALL RELIGION AND O
BLIGATION TO MORAL DUTIES, IF THEY ARE NOT DESTROY'D, WILL BE RENDER'D INSIGNIFI
CANT AND INEFFECTUAL; FOR NO TEMPORAL CONSIDERATIONS WILL RESTRAIN DEGENERATE MA
NKIND FROM FOLLOWING THEIR VICIOUS INCLINATIONS, AS IF THEY HAD AN UNLIMITED AND
 ARBITRARY POWER OVER THEIR ACTIONS.
1394-EB/1716:018(087) BUT ON THE CONTRARY, IF IT BE ESTABLISH'D BY CONVINCING EV
IDENCE, THAT THE SOUL IS IMMORTAL, AND OUT=LIVES DEATH IN A STATE OF SEPARATION
FROM THE BODY, THIS WILL NATURALLY LEAD A PRUDENT AND CONSIDERATE MAN TO BESPEAK
 HIMSELF IN THIS MANNER: SINCE AFTER THIS BODY IS BURIED IN THE GRAVE, I SHALL S
TILL REMAIN IN BEING, NOR WILL MY EXISTENCE BE DISCONTINUED IN ANY PERIOD OF DUR
ATION, IT IS OF THE HIGHEST CONCERN TO KNOW, WHETHER I SHALL BE HAPPY OR MISERAB
LE IN THAT EVERLASTING STATE.
1395-EB/1716:019(086) I AM A CREATURE AND A SUBJECT OF THE SUPREAM RULER OF THE
WORLD, AND BY THE RATIONAL FACULTIES WITH WHICH I AM ENDOW'D, I CAN EASILY DISCE
RN THERE ARE MANY NATURAL LAWS AND MORAL DUTIES WHICH I AM BOUND TO OBEY; AND TH
AT THEREFORE I AM AN ACCOMPTABLE BEING, AND SHALL BE REWARDED OR PUNISH'D, ACCOR
DING TO MY OBSERVANCE OR CONTEMPT OF THOSE DIVINE PRECEPTS AND RULES OF LIFE; AN
D HOW TERRIBLE WILL BE THE SENTENCE, SHOULD I BE CONDEMN'D TO ENDLESS SUFFERINGS
 AND DESPAIR?
1396-EB/1716:020(041) WOULD NOT THAT MAN BE LOOK'D ON AS UNCAPABLE OF REFLECTION
 AND DESERTED OF COMMON SENSE, WHO SHOULD CHUSE, FOR THE SAKE OF ONE HOUR'S PLEA
SURE, TO ENDURE UNREMITTING TORMENT AND ANGUISH OF HEART, DURING THE WHOLE REMAI
NDER OF HIS LIFE?
1397-EB/1716:021(031) BUT HOW INFINITELY GREATER AN INSTANCE OF FOLLY AND DISTRA
CTION IS IT, FOR THE SAKE OF THE SHORT=LIV'D ENJOYMENTS HERE, TO DRAW UPON ONE'S
 SELF DIVINE DISPLEASURE AND ENDLESS MISERY HEREAFTER?
1398-EH/1717:001(026) ONE OF THOSE GREAT EFFECTS, WHICH LENGTH OF TIME IS SEEN T
O BRING ALONG WITH IT, IS THE ALTERATION OF THE MEANING ANNEXED TO CERTAIN SOUND
S.
1399-EH/1717:002(066) THE SIGNIFICATION OF A WORD, WELL KNOWN AND UNDERSTOOD BY
THOSE WHO FIRST MADE USE OF IT, IS VERY INSENSIBLY VARIED, BY PASSING THRO MANY
MOUTHS, AND BY BEING TAKEN AND GIVEN BY MULTITUDES, IN COMMON DISCOURSE; TILL IT
 OFTEN COMES TO STAND FOR A COMPLICATION OF NOTIONS, AS DISTANT FROM THE ORIGINA
L INTENTION OF IT, NAY, AS CONTRADICTORY TO IT, AS DARKNESS IS TO LIGHT.
1400-EH/1717:003(101) THE IGNORANCE AND WEAKNESS OF SOME, AND THE PASSIONS AND B
AD DESIGNS OF OTHERS, ARE THE GREAT INSTRUMENTS OF THIS EVIL: WHICH, EVEN WHEN I
T SEEMS TO AFFECT ONLY INDIFFERENT MATTERS, OUGHT IN REASON TO BE OPPOSED, AS IT
 TENDS IN ITS NATURE TO CONFOUND MEN'S NOTIONS IN WEIGHTIER POINTS; BUT, WHEN IT
 HATH ONCE INVADED THE MOST SACRED AND IMPORTANT SUBJECTS, OUGHT, IN DUTY, TO BE
 RESISTED WITH A MORE OPEN AND UNDISGUISED ZEAL, AS WHAT TOUCHETH THE VERY VITAL
S OF ALL THAT IS GOOD, AND IS JUST GOING TO TAKE FROM MEN'S EYES THE BOUNDARIES
OF RIGHT AND WRONG.
1401-EH/1717:004(056) THE ONLY CURE FOR THIS EVIL, IN CASES OF SO GREAT CONCERN,
 IS TO HAVE RECOURSE TO THE ORIGINALS OF THINGS: TO THE LAW OF REASON, IN THOSE
POINTS WHICH CAN BE TRACED BACK THITHER; AND TO THE DECLARATIONS OF $JESUS_CHRIS
T, AND HIS IMMEDIATE FOLLOWERS, IN SUCH MATTERS, AS TOOK THEIR RISE SOLELY FROM
THOSE DECLARATIONS.
1402-EH/1717:005(084) FOR THE CASE IS PLAINLY THIS, THAT WORDS AND SOUNDS HAVE H
AD SUCH AN EFFECT, (NOT UPON THE NATURE OF THINGS, WHICH IS UNMOVEABLE, BUT) UPO
N THE MINDS OF MEN IN THINKING OF THEM; THAT THE VERY SAME WORD REMAINING, (WHIC
H AT FIRST TRULY REPRESENTED ONE CERTAIN THING,) BY HAVING MULTITUDES OF NEW INC
ONSISTENT IDEAS, IN EVERY AGE, AND EVERY YEAR, ADDED TO IT, BECOMES IT SELF THE
GREATEST HINDRANCE TO THE TRUE UNDERSTANDING OF THE NATURE OF THE THING FIRST IN
TENDED BY IT.
1403-EH/1717:006(026) FOR INSTANCE, RELIGION, IN ST $JAMES'S DAYS, WAS VIRTUE AN
D INTEGRITY, AS TO OUR SELVES, AND CHARITY AND BENEFICENCE TO OTHERS; BEFORE $GO
D, EVEN THE FATHER.
1404-EH/1717:007(083) BY DEGREES, IT IS COME TO SIGNIFY, IN MOST OF THE COUNTRIE
S THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD, THE PERFORMANCE OF EVERY THING ALMOST, EXCEPT VIRT
UE AND CHARITY; AND PARTICULARLY, A PUNCTUAL EXACTNESS IN A REGARD TO PARTICULAR
 TIMES, PLACES, FORMS, AND MODES, DIVERSIFIED ACCORDING TO THE VARIOUS HUMOURS O
F MEN; RECOMMENDED AND PRACTISED UNDER THE AVOWED NAME OF EXTERNAL RELIGION: TWO
 WORDS, WHICH, IN THE SENSE FIX'D UPON THEM BY MANY $CHRISTIANS, $GOD HATH PUT A
SUNDER; AND WHICH THEREFORE, NO MAN SHOULD JOIN TOGETHER.
1405-EH/1717:008(075) AND ACCORDINGLY, THE NOTION OF A RELIGIOUS MAN DIFFERS IN
EVERY COUNTRY, JUST AS MUCH AS TIMES, PLACES, CEREMONIES, IMAGINARY AUSTERITIES,
 AND ALL OTHER OUTWARD CIRCUMSTANCES, ARE DIFFERENT AND VARIOUS: WHEREAS IN TRUT
H, THO A MAN, TRULY RELIGIOUS IN OTHER RESPECTS, MAY MAKE USE OF SUCH THINGS; YE
T, THEY CANNOT BE THE LEAST PART OF HIS RELIGION, PROPERLY SO CALL'D, ANY MORE T
HAN HIS FOOD, OR HIS RAIMENT, OR ANY OTHER CIRCUMSTANCE OF HIS LIFE.
1406-EH/1717:009(071) THUS LIKEWISE, THE WORSHIP OF $GOD, TO BE PAID BY $CHRISTI
ANS, WAS, IN OUR SAVIOUR'S TIME, AND IN HIS OWN PLAIN WORDS, THE WORSHIP OF THE
FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH; AND THIS DECLARED TO BE ONE GREAT END PROPOSED IN TH
E $CHRISTIAN DISPENSATION: <THE HOUR COMETH, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPPE
RS SHALL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH: FOR THE FATHER SEEKETH SUCH
TO WORSHIP HIM>.
1407-EH/1717:010(048) BUT THE NOTION OF IT IS BECOME QUITE ANOTHER THING: AND IN
 MANY $CHRISTIAN COUNTRIES, THAT WHICH STILL RETAINS THE NAME OF THE WORSHIP OF
$GOD, IS INDEED THE NEGLECT, AND THE DIMINUTION OF THE FATHER; AND THE WORSHIP O
F OTHER BEINGS BESIDES, AND MORE THAN, THE FATHER.
1408-EH/1717:011(046) AND THIS, PERFORMED IN SUCH A MANNER, AS THAT ANY INDIFFER
ENT SPECTATOR WOULD CONCLUDE, THAT NEITHER THE CONSCIENCES NOR UNDERSTANDINGS OF
 MEN, NEITHER SPIRIT NOR TRUTH, WERE AT ALL CONCERNED IN THE MATTER; OR RATHER,
THAT THEY HAD BEEN BANISH'D FROM IT BY AN EXPRESS COMMAND.
1409-EH/1717:012(014) IN THE MEAN TIME THE WORD, OR SOUND, STILL REMAINS THE SAM
E IN DISCOURSE.
1410-EH/1717:013(049) THE WHOLE LUMP OF INDIGESTED, AND INCONSISTENT NOTIONS AND
 PRACTICES; EVERY THING THAT IS SOLEMNLY SAID, OR DONE, WHEN THE WORSHIP OF $GOD
 IS PROFESS'D, IS EQUALLY COVER'D UNDER THAT GENERAL NAME; AND, BY THE HELP OF U
SING THE SAME ORIGINAL WORD, PASSETH EASILY FOR THE THING IT SELF.
1411-FG/1718:001(013) THESE ARE THE BEAUTIES AND ADVANTAGES OF OUR ADDING LOVE T
O OUR TRAGEDIES.
1412-FG/1718:002(036) NOT (AS I HAVE SAID) THAT I AM FOR EXCLUDING THAT PASSION
OR THE FAIR SEX FROM THE STAGE; BUT THAT PART ONLY WHICH CONTAINS THE VAIN, IDLE
, AND ROMANTIC ADDRESSES TO THE LADIES BEFORE MARRIAGE.
1413-FG/1718:003(034) THERE IS NOTHING MORE MOVING THAN THE LOVES OF $BELVIDERA
AND $JAFFIER, BUT THAT IS AFTER MARRIAGE, AS THAT PART OF $MONIMIA AND $CASTALIO
 IS, WHICH AFFECTS THE AUDIENCE IN SO SENSIBLE A MANNER.
1414-FG/1718:004(083) THE SAME MAY BE SAID OF THE $ALCESTIS AND $HELENA OF $EURI
PIDES, AND EVEN THE $ANTIGONE OF $SOPHOCLES, WHO IS CONTRACTED OR ESPOUS'D BY $H
AEMON BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE PLAY; AND YET THAT SOVERAIGN OF TRAGEDY IS SO
CAUTIOUS OF INVADING THE CHARACTER OF THE SEX, OR MINGLING THE TENDERNESSES WHIC
H CONTAIN NOTHING GREAT AND MAJESTIC, OR TERRIBLE, OR TRULY PATHETIC, THAT THERE
 IS SCARCE SO MUCH SAID IN HER PART AT LEAST AS TO MAKE IT SEEM A CHARACTER OF L
OVE.
1415-FG/1718:005(031) IF WE GO TO THE NEVER TO BE TOO MUCH ADMIR'D $SHAKESPEAR,
WE FIND $JULIET AND $DESDEMONA BOTH WIVES, AT LEAST WHEN THEY BEGIN TO ENGAGE TH
E ATTENTION OF THE AUDIENCE.
1416-FG/1718:006(057) BUT ROMANCES WERE EXTREMELY IN VOGUE AFTER THE $RESTORATIO
N, AND IN THEM TO SEEK NATURE WOULD BE TO VERY LITTLE PURPOSE; FROM THESE OUR PO
ETS, I MEAN OUR PLAY=WRIGHTS, TOOK THEIR IDEAS OF HEROES, HEROINES AND LOVE, AND
 THIS PRODUC'D THOSE MONSTERS, ON WHICH HIS GRACE HAS SO JUSTLY REFLECTED IN THE
 QUOTATION I HAVE GIVEN YOU.
1417-FG/1718:007(042) I KNOW VERY WELL (SAID $TYRO) THAT TO DENY THE JUSTICE OF
THIS CENSURE OF THE ESSAY, IS TO GO AGAINST REASON; AND YET IF THE BUSINESS OF P
OETRY IS TO PLEASE, CERTAINLY THE POETS OF THOSE DAYS EVIDENTLY GAIN'D THAT POIN
T.
1418-FG/1718:008(021) NAY, WE SEE ON THE REVIVAL OF MANY OF THEM CONDEMN'D BY TH
E $REHEARSAL, THAT THEY HAVE BEEN RECEIV'D WITH APPLAUSE.
1419-FG/1718:009(051) IT IS INDEED (ASSUM'D $LAUDON) VERY SURPRIZING TO SEE THAT
 VERY $REHEARSAL ACTED FOR THREE OR FOUR DAYS TOGETHER TO FULL HOUSES, AND IMMED
IATELY AFTER, PERHAPS, PLAYS NOT LESS THRONG'D, ON WHICH THAT WAS EITHER WRITTEN
, OR AT LEAST WHICH ARE GUILTY OF ALL THE ABSURDITIES EXPLODED IN THAT PLEASANT
CRITICISM.
1420-FG/1718:010(058) THIS, MY FRIEND $TYRO, IS AT LEAST A STRONG PROOF THAT OUR
 AUDIENCE IS EXTREMELY STUPID, AND GIVE THEIR APPROBATION NOT BY JUDGMENT OR THE
IR OWN GOOD TASTE, AS BEING ON CONTRADICTORY FOUNDATIONS, AND THAT THEREFORE TO
FIX THE VALUE OF A PIECE, WE MUST HAVE RECOURSE TO THE BETTER THO' FEWER JUDGES,
 WHO UNDERSTAND NATURE AND ART.
1421-FG/1718:011(027) FOR EITHER THE $REHEARSAL, OR THE AUTHORS WERE IN THE WRON
G; CHUSE WHICH YOU WILL, THEIR PROMISCUOUS APPLAUSE PROVES THAT THE AUDIENCE MUS
T BE IN THE WRONG.
1422-FG/1718:012(075) ANOTHER INSTANCE OF THIS ABSURD TASTE OF OUR $ENGLISH AUDI
ENCE IS, THE OPERA, WHICH THO' SO ADMIRABLY EXPOS'D AND RIDICUL'D BY THE SAME NO
BLE PEER IN HIS $REHEARSAL, YET HAS BEEN ALLOW'D AND ENCOURAG'D TO THAT DEGREE,
THAT IF THE EXPENCE THAT OUR NOBILITY AND GENTRY HAVE BEEN AT IN THAT PARTICULAR
, HAD BEEN BESTOW'D IN THE PROMOTING TRAGEDY AND COMEDY, WE MIGHT BY THIS TIME H
AVE HAD A STAGE EQUAL TO THAT OF $ATHENS.
1423-FG/1718:013(053) BUT IT IS REMARKABLE THAT AS THE CHIEF FAULTS OF THE DRAMA
 OR ACTIVE POEM HAVE BEEN DISCOVER'D BY THE NOBILITY, I MEAN TWO OF THEM, THE LA
TE DUKE OF $BUCKINGHAM, AND THE PRESENT; SO NONE HAVE CONTRIBUTED MORE LARGELY T
O THE CORRUPTION, AND INDEED DESTRUCTION OF IT, THAN THE PEOPLE OF QUALITY.
1424-FG/1718:014(023) A NOBLE BATTLE INDEED, AND VERY AGREEABLE TO NATURE, REPRE
SENTED IN RECITATIVO MUSIC: THIS IS A RIDICULE ON SIR $WILLIAM_DAVENANT'S "SIEGE
 OF $RHODES".
1425-FG/1718:015(035) BUT IF WE CONSIDER JUSTLY, SIR $WILLIAM WAS NOT SO MUCH TO
 BLAME IN THAT, AS WE HAVE SINCE BEEN, FOR HE WAS FORC'D TO WRITE IN THAT WAY BY
 THE INIQUITY OF THE TIMES.
1426-FG/1718:016(045) PLAYS WERE FORBID, AND MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENTS SUFFER'D, SO
 THAT HE WAS FAIN TO STEER THIS COURSE, BECAUSE A BETTER WAS NOT PERMITTED; BUT
OF LATE WE HAVE TAKEN UP THAT ABSURD ENTERTAINMENT OUT OF CHOICE, WHEN NOTHING C
OULD INCLINE US BUT A MOST ABANDON'D WHIMSY.
1427-FG/1718:017(033) THAT I MAY NOT BE THOUGHT TO BE SINGULAR IN MY CENSURE, HE
AR WHAT A $FRENCH GENTLEMAN, AND THAT NO LESS THAN MONSIEUR $ST_EVREMOND, SAYS T
O THAT DUKE OF $BUCKINGHAM ON THIS SUBJECT.
1428-FG/1718:018(033) I SHALL (SAYS HE) BEGIN WITH GREAT FREEDOM IN TELLING YOU,
 THAT I AM NO GREAT ADMIRER OF COMEDIES IN MUSIC, (FOR SO THE $FRENCH CALL THE O
PERA) SUCH AS NOW=A=DAYS WE SEE.
1429-FG/1718:019(067) I CONFESS THAT I AM PRETTY WELL PLEAS'D WITH THEIR MAGNIFI
CENCE; THE MACHINES HAVE SOMETHING SURPRIZING, THE MUSIC IN SOME PLACES IS CHARM
ING, THE WHOLE TOGETHER SEEMS MARVELLOUS; BUT IT MUST BE GRANTED ME ALSO, THAT T
HESE MARVELS ARE VERY TEDIOUS, FOR WHERE THE MIND HAS SO LITTLE TO DO, THERE IS
A NECESSITY THAT THE SENSES MUST LANGUISH AFTER THE FIRST PLEASURE, THAT SURPRIZ
E GIVES US.
1430-FG/1718:020(017) THE EYES ARE TAKEN UP, AND AT LENGTH GROW WEARY OF BEING C
ONTINUALLY FIXT UPON THE OBJECTS.
1431-FG/1718:021(029) IN THE BEGINNING OF THE CONSORTS THE JUSTNESS OF THE CONCO
RDS IS OBSERV'D, AND NOTHING ESCAPES OF ALL THE VARIETIES, THAT UNITE FOR MAKING
 THE SWEETNESS OF THE HARMONY.
1432-FG/1718:022(026) SOME TIME AFTER, THE INSTRUMENTS STUN US, AND THE MUSIC IS
 NO MORE TO THE EARS THAN A CONFUS'D SOUND, THAT SUFFERS NOTHING TO BE DISTINGUI
SH'D.
1433-FG/1718:023(021) BUT WHO CAN BEAR THE TEDIOUSNESS OF RECITATIVO, WHICH HAS
NEITHER THE CHARM OF SONG, NOR THE AGREEABLE FORCE OF WORDS?
1434-FG/1718:024(048) THE SOUL TIR'D OUT WITH A LONG ATTENTION, IN WHICH IT FIND
S NOTHING TO AFFECT IT, SEEKS WITHIN ITSELF SOME SECRET MOTION TO BE TOUCH'D WIT
H: THE MIND, WHICH IN VAIN HAS EXPECTED IMPRESSIONS FROM WITHOUT, GIVES WAY TO I
DLE MUSING, OR IS DISSATISFIED WITH ITS OWN USELESSNESS.
1435-FG/1718:025(036) IN SHORT, IT IS SO UNIVERSALLY TIRESOME, THAT NO THOUGHT B
UT HOW TO GET OUT; AND THE ONLY PLEASURE THAT REMAINS TO THE LANGUISHING SPECTAT
ORS, IS THE HOPE OF A SPEEDY END PUT TO THE SHOW.
1436-FG/1718:026(034) THE REASON WHY COMMONLY I GROW WEARY SOON AT AN OPERA, IS
THAT I NEVER YET SAW ONE, WHICH APPEAR'D NOT TO ME DESPICABLE IN THE DISPOSITION
 OF THE SUBJECT, AND IN THE VERSES.
1437-FG/1718:027(099) NOW IT IS IN VAIN TO CHARM THE EARS, OR FLATTER THE EYES,
IF THE MIND BE NOT SATISFIED; MY SOUL BEING IN BETTER INTELLIGENCE WITH MY MIND
THAN WITH MY SENSES, STRUGGLES AGAINST THE IMPRESSIONS WHICH IT MAY RECEIVE, OR
AT LEAST FAILS OF GIVING AN AGREEABLE CONSENT TO THEM, WITHOUT WHICH EVEN THE MO
ST DELIGHTFUL OBJECTS CAN NEVER AFFORD ME GREAT PLEASURE: A FOPPERY CHARG'D WITH
 MUSIC, DANCES, MACHINES, AND DECORATIONS, IS A POMPOUS FOPPERY; BUT STILL IT IS
 A FOPPERY, IT IS AN UGLY GROUND UNDER BEAUTIFUL ORNAMENTS, THROUGH WHICH I SEE
IT WITH MUCH DISSATISFACTION.
1438-FG/1718:028(053) THERE IS ANOTHER THING IN OPERA'S SO CONTRARY TO NATURE, T
HAT IT OFFENDS MY IMAGINATION, AND THAT IS THE SINGING THE WHOLE PIECE FROM THE
BEGINNING TO THE END, AS IF THE PERSONS REPRESENTED HAD RIDICULOUSLY AGREED TO T
REAT IN MUSIC BOTH THE MOST COMMON AND THE MOST IMPORTANT AFFAIRS OF THEIR LIFE.

1439-FG/1718:029(018) IS IT TO BE SUPPOS'D THAT A MASTER CALLS HIS SERVANT, AND
SENDS HIM ON AN ERRAND SINGING?
1440-FG/1718:030(009) THAT ONE FRIEND IMPARTS A SECRET TO ANOTHER SINGING?
1441-FG/1718:031(009) THAT MEN DELIBERATE ON AFFAIRS OF STATE SINGING, ETC.
1442-FG/1718:032(045) I MIGHT GO ON FROM THIS INGENIOUS AUTHOR, BUT THAT FIRST,
I THINK HERE IS ENOUGH TO CURE ANY MAN OF COMMON SENSE OF SO SENSELESS AN INCLIN
ATION, AS AN INDULGENCE TO OPERA'S, AND NEXT THEY HAVE AT LENGTH MADE THEIR EXIT
 IN THIS TOWN.
1443-FG/1718:033(049) BUT IT MUST BE CONFESS'D NOT BY THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE TAS
TE OF THOSE GENTLEMEN, WHO CONTRIBUTED SO EXTRAVAGANTLY TO THEIR SUPPORT; BUT BE
CAUSE THEY GREW WEARY OF THE EXPENCE, THERE HAVING BEEN COLLECTED ON THAT ACCOUN
T NEAR ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS FROM THEIR FIRST APPEARANCE TO THEIR DEPARTUR
E.
1444-FJ/1719:001(016) THIS LEARNED DIVINE, ADMIRED FOR HIS GREAT WIT, WAS BORN I
N $LONDON, IN THE YEAR 1573.
1445-FJ/1719:002(049) HE WAS DESCENDED FROM A VERY GOOD FAMILY IN $WALES, AND HA
D PARENTS CAPABLE OF GIVING HIM THE BEST EDUCATION, WHICH THEY DID; FOR AT NINE
YEARS OF AGE HE WAS SENT TO $HART=HALL IN $OXFORD, HAVING ATTAINED BESIDES THE $
LATIN AND $GREEK, A KNOWLEDGE IN THE $FRENCH TONGUE.
1446-FJ/1719:003(021) HERE HE BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH THAT GREAT MASTER OF LANGUA
GE AND ART, SIR $HENRY_WOTTON, WITH WHOM HE CONTRACTED A LASTING FRIENDSHIP.
1447-FJ/1719:004(018) FROM $OXFORD HE WAS TRANSPLANTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF $CAM
BRIDGE, WHERE HE MADE GREAT IMPROVEMENTS IN HIS LITERATURE.
1448-FJ/1719:005(039) COMING FROM THENCE TO $LONDON, HE WAS ENTERED OF THE SOCIE
TY OF $LINCOLN'S=INN, AND APPLIED HIMSELF TO THE STUDY OF THE LAW, BUT EVEN HERE
, HE CHIEFLY EMPLOYED HIS TIME IN ACCOMPLISHING HIMSELF WITH THE POLITER KINDS O
F LEARNING.
1449-FJ/1719:006(038) HE SOON ENJOYED THE BEST CONVERSATION IN TOWN, TO WHOM THE
 ACUTENESS OF HIS WIT, AND THE NATURAL GAIETY OF HIS TEMPER, SOON RENDERED HIM H
IGHLY ACCEPTABLE: IN WHICH STATE OF LIFE, HE COMPOSED MOST OF HIS LOVE=POEMS.
1450-FJ/1719:007(034) HIS FATHER DYING AND LEAVING HIM A PRETTY HANDSOME FORTUNE
, HE TRAVELLED INTO $ITALY, $SPAIN AND OTHER FOREIGN COUNTRIES, WHERE HE ACQUIRE
D A PERFECTION IN THOSE LANGUAGES, AND RETURNED HOME WITH MANY USEFUL OBSERVATIO
NS.
1451-FJ/1719:008(083) BEING NOW QUALIFIED FOR THE GREATEST EMPLOYMENTS, HE WAS M
ADE SECRETARY TO THE LORD $ELSMERE, KEEPER OF THE GREAT SEAL; IN WHOSE SERVICE H
E BECAME ENAMOURED WITH THE LADY $ELSMERE'S NIECE, DAUGHTER TO SIR $GEORGE_MOOR,
 CHANCELLOR OF THE GARTER, AND LIEUTENANT OF THE $TOWER, WHO GREATLY OPPOSED THI
S MATCH; YET NOTWITHSTANDING THEY WERE PRIVATELY MARRIED: WHICH EXASPERATED SIR
$GEORGE TO SUCH A DEGREE, THAT HE PREVAILED ON THE LORD $ELSMERE TO DISCHARGE HI
M FROM HIS SERVICE, AND SOON AFTER CAST HIM INTO PRISON.
1452-FJ/1719:009(040) BUT MR $DONNE HAD NOT BEEN LONG CONFINED BEFORE HE FOUND M
EANS, BY THE ASSISTANCE OF HIS KINSMAN SIR $FRANCIS_WOOLLEY, TO FACILITATE HIS E
NLARGEMENT, AND A RECONCILIATION BETWEEN HIM AND SIR $GEORGE_MOOR, ENSUING, HE W
AS RESTORED TO HIS FORMER POST.
1453-FJ/1719:010(033) NOW HE WAS SOUGHT AFTER BY MEN OF THE BEST LEARNING MORE T
HAN EVER, AND HIS COMPANY VERY MUCH DESIRED BY THE NOBILITY AND FOREIGN AMBASSAD
ORS, WHO WERE EXTREAMLY FOND OF HIS ACQUAINTANCE.
1454-FJ/1719:011(050) AT LAST, AT KING $JAMES'S REQUEST, HE APPLIED HIMSELF TO T
HE STUDY OF DIVINITY, AND ENTERED INTO HOLY ORDERS: WHEREUPON, HIS MAJESTY FIRST
 MADE HIM PREACHER OF $LINCOLN'S=INN, AND HE WAS AFTERWARDS ADVANCED TO THE DEAN
ERY OF $ST_PAUL'S THUS FROM AN EMINENT POET HE BECAME A MUCH MORE EMINENT DIVINE
.
1455-FJ/1719:012(022) HE DIED THE THIRTY-FIRST OF $MARCH 1631, AND WAS BURIED IN
 $ST_PAUL'S CHURCH WITH GREAT SOLEMNITY, ATTENDED BY MANY PERSONS OF QUALITY.
1456-FJ/1719:013(031) A GENTLEMAN OF IMMORTAL FAME FOR ARTS AND ARMS, AND THE GL
ORY OF THE $ENGLISH NATION, IN A REIGN WHICH WAS ONLY WORTHY OF HIM, THAT OF THE
 GREAT QUEEN $ELIZABETH.
1457-FJ/1719:014(026) HE WAS SON OF SIR $HENRY_SIDNEY, SEVERAL TIMES LORD LIEUTE
NANT OF $IRELAND, AND WAS BORN AT $PENSHURST IN THE COUNTY OF $KENT, IN THE YEAR
 1554.
1458-FJ/1719:015(026) HE HAD HIS EDUCATION AT $CHRIST'S=CHURCH COLLEGE IN $OXFOR
D, WHERE HE EXCELL'D ALL HIS CONTEMPORARIES FOR POLITE LITERATURE, AND WAS THE G
REATEST HONOUR TO THE UNIVERSITY.
1459-FJ/1719:016(038) FROM HENCE HE WAS INVITED TO COURT, BY HIS UNCLE $ROBERT_D
UDLEY EARL OF $LEICESTER, WHO MARRIED HIS MOTHER'S SISTER; WHEREUPON HE QUITTED
HIS ACADEMICAL LIFE, AND, COMING TO $LONDON, HE APPLY'D HIMSELF TO THE BUSINESS
OF THE STATE.
1460-FJ/1719:017(045) HERE HE SOON BECAME THE GLORIOUS STAR OF HIS FAMILY: HIS E
XQUISITE LEARNING AND FINE PARTS SO ENDEAR'D HIM TO QUEEN $ELIZABETH, THAT SHE S
ENT HIM UPON A VERY IMPORTANT EMBASSY TO THE EMPEROR OF $GERMANY; AND BY HIS TRA
VELS HE BECAME RENOWN'D THROUGHOUT $EUROPE.
1461-FJ/1719:018(032) HE WAS THE ADMIRATION OF ALL COUNTRIES, AND UNEQUALL'D ABR
OAD AS WELL AS AT HOME; WHICH, AS SOME AUTHORS TELL US, OCCASION'D HIS BEING PUT
 IN ELECTION FOR THE KINGDOM OF $POLAND.
1462-FJ/1719:019(044) HE RETURN'D FROM HIS EMBASSY WITH UNUSUAL HONOUR AND REPUT
ATION, AND HIS GREAT VIRTUE, EXCELLENT WIT, AND SWEET TEMPER, DID NOT MORE RECOM
MEND HIM TO THE AFFECTION OF MANKIND, THAN HIS GREAT COURAGE AND CONDUCT PROCLAI
M'D HIS FAME AMONGST THE HEROES OF HIS TIME.
1463-FJ/1719:020(036) DURING THE $DUTCH WARS, HE WAS MADE GOVERNOR OF $FLUSHING;
 BUT AT LENGTH IN AN ACTION BEFORE $ZUTPHEN, IN THE MIDST OF VICTORY, HE WAS UNF
ORTUNATELY WOUNDED IN THE THIGH, WHEREOF HE DIED SOME DAYS AFTER.
1464-FJ/1719:021(020) THIS FATAL SKIRMISH HAPPEN'D IN THE YEAR 1586, AND TOOK OF
F THE FINEST GENTLEMAN IN THE WORLD IN HIS PRIME.
1465-FJ/1719:022(032) HIS BEHAVIOUR WAS SUCH, THAT 'TIS QUESTIONABLE WHETHER HIS
 WISDOM, INDUSTRY, OR VALOUR MAY CHALLENGE TO IT SELF THE GREATEST PRAISE AND CO
MMENDATION; AND ALL $CHRISTENDOM HAD A LOSS IN HIS FALL.
1466-FJ/1719:023(020) $NAT_LEE, IN HIS DEDICATION TO $CAESAR_BORGIA, SAYS, SIR $
PHILIP_SIDNEY WAS SO EXTRAVAGANTLY GREAT, THAT HE REFUS'D TO BE A KING.
1467-FJ/1719:024(016) HE WAS AT ONCE A $CAESAR AND A $VIRGIL, THE LEADING SOLDIE
R, AND THE FOREMOST POET.
1468-FL/1717:001(028) NOW, MY LORD, THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN BY THE AUTHORITATIVE AD
MINISTRATIONS OF THE $CHRISTIAN CLERGY; WHETHER THEY BE BY WAY OF BENEDICTION, O
R OF ANY OTHER KIND.
1469-FL/1717:002(020) WE TAKE THEM TO BE PERSONS WHOM $GOD HAS CHOSEN TO MINISTE
R UNTO HIM, AND TO BLESS IN HIS NAME.
1470-FL/1717:003(019) WE IMAGINE THAT OUR SAVIOUR WAS A GREATER PRIEST AND MEDIA
TOR THAN $AARON, OR ANY OF $GOD'S FORMER MINISTERS.
1471-FL/1717:004(082) WE ARE ASSUR'D THAT $CHRIST SENT HIS APOSTLES, AS HIS FATH
ER HAD SENT HIM, AND THAT THEREFORE THEY WERE HIS TRUE SUCCESSORS: AND SINCE THE
Y DID COMMISSION OTHERS TO SUCCEED THEM IN THEIR OFFICE, BY THE IMPOSITION OF HA
NDS, AS $MOSES COMMISSION'D $JOSHUA TO SUCCEED HIM; THE CLERGY WHO HAVE SUCCEEDE
D THE APOSTLES HAVE AS DIVINE A CALL AND COMMISSION TO THEIR WORK, AS THOSE WHO
WERE CALL'D BY OUR SAVIOUR; AND ARE AS TRULY HIS SUCCESSORS, AS THE APOSTLES THE
MSELVES WERE.
1472-FL/1717:005(071) FROM THE PLACES OF SCRIPTURE ABOVE=MENTION'D IT IS EVIDENT
, AND INDEED FROM THE WHOLE TENOR OF SACRED WRIT, THAT IT MAY CONSIST WITH THE G
OODNESS AND JUSTICE OF $GOD TO DEPUTE MEN TO ACT IN HIS NAME, AND BE MINISTERIAL
 TOWARDS THE SALVATION OF OTHERS; AND TO LAY A NECESSITY UPON HIS CREATURES OF Q
UALIFYING THEMSELVES FOR HIS FAVOUR, AND RECEIVING HIS GRACES BY THE HANDS AND I
NTERVENTION OF MERE MEN.
1473-FL/1717:006(079) BUT, MY LORD, IF THERE BE NOW ANY SET OF MEN UPON EARTH TH
AT ARE MORE PECULIARLY $GOD'S MINISTERS THAN OTHERS, AND THROUGH WHOSE ADMINISTR
ATIONS, PRAYERS, AND BENEDICTIONS, $GOD WILL ACCEPT OF RETURNING SINNERS, AND RE
CEIVE THEM TO GRACE; YOU HAVE DONE ALL YOU CAN TO PREJUDICE PEOPLE AGAINST THEM:
 YOU HAVE TAUGHT THE LAITY THAT ALL IS TO BE TRANSACTED BETWEEN $GOD AND THEMSEL
VES, AND THAT THEY NEED NOT VALUE ANY PARTICULAR SORT OF CLERGY IN THE WORLD.
1474-FL/1717:007(063) I LEAVE IT TO THE GREAT JUDGE AND SEARCHER OF HEARTS, TO J
UDGE FROM WHAT PRINCIPLES, OR UPON WHAT MOTIVES YOUR LORDSHIP HAS BEEN INDUC'D T
O TEACH THESE THINGS; BUT MUST DECLARE, THAT, FOR MY OWN PART, IF I HAD THE GREA
TEST HATRED TO $CHRISTIANITY, I SHOULD THINK IT COULD NOT BE MORE EXPRESS'D THAN
 BY TEACHING WHAT YOUR LORDSHIP HAS PUBLICKLY TAUGHT.
1475-FL/1717:008(050) IF I COULD REJOICE IN THE MISERY AND RUIN OF SINNERS, I SH
OULD THINK IT SUFFICIENT MATTER OF TRIUMPH TO DRIVE THEM FROM THE MINISTERS OF $
GOD, AND TO PUT THEM UPON INVENTING NEW SCHEMES OF SAVING THEMSELVES, INSTEAD OF
 SUBMITTING TO THE ORDINARY METHODS OF SALVATION APPOINTED BY $GOD.
1476-FL/1717:009(042) IT WILL NOT FOLLOW FROM ANY THING I HAVE SAID, THAT THE LA
ITY HAVE LOST THEIR $CHRISTIAN LIBERTY, OR THAT NO BODY CAN BE SAV'D BUT WHOM TH
E CLERGY PLEASE TO SAVE; THAT THEY HAVE THE ARBITRARY DISPOSAL OF HAPPINESS TO M
ANKIND.
1477-FL/1717:010(019) WAS $ABIMELECH'S HAPPINESS IN THE DISPOSITION OF $ABRAHAM,
 BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE RECEIV'D BY MEANS OF $ABRAHAM'S INTERCESSION?
1478-FL/1717:011(018) OR COULD $JOB DAMN $ELIPHAZ, BECAUSE HE WAS TO MEDIATE FOR
 HIM, AND PROCURE HIS RECONCILIATION TO $GOD?
1479-FL/1717:012(056) NEITHER, MY LORD, DO THE $CHRISTIAN CLERGY PRETEND TO THIS
 DESPOTICK EMPIRE OVER THEIR FLOCKS: THEY DON'T ASSUME TO THEMSELVES A POWER TO
DAMN THE INNOCENT, OR TO SAVE THE GUILTY; BUT THEY ASSERT A SOBER AND JUST RIGHT
 TO RECONCILE MEN TO $GOD, AND TO ACT IN HIS NAME, IN RESTORING THEM TO HIS FAVO
UR.
1480-FL/1717:013(031) THEY RECEIV'D THEIR COMMISSION FROM THOSE WHOM $CHRIST SEN
T WITH FULL AUTHORITY TO SEND OTHERS, AND WITH A PROMISE THAT HE WOULD BE WITH T
HEM TO THE END OF THE WORLD.
1481-FL/1717:014(066) FROM THIS THEY CONCLUDE, THAT THEY HAVE HIS AUTHORITY, AND
 THAT IN CONSEQUENCE OF IT THEIR ADMINISTRATIONS ARE NECESSARY, AND EFFECTUAL TO
 THE SALVATION OF MANKIND; AND THAT NONE CAN DESPISE THEM, BUT WHO DESPISE HIM T
HAT SENT THEM; AND ARE AS SURELY OUT OF THE COVENANT OF GRACE, WHEN THEY LEAVE S
UCH HIS PASTORS, AS WHEN THEY OPENLY DESPISE, OR OMIT TO RECEIVE HIS SACRAMENTS.

1482-FL/1717:015(016) AND WHAT IS THERE IN THIS DOCTRINE, MY LORD, TO TERRIFY TH
E CONSCIENCES OF THE LAITY?
1483-FL/1717:016(014) WHAT IS THERE HERE TO BRING THE PROFANE SCANDAL OF PRIESTC
RAFT UPON THE CLERGY?
1484-FL/1717:017(018) COULD IT BE ANY GROUND OF $ABIMELECH'S HATING $ABRAHAM, BE
CAUSE THAT $ABRAHAM WAS TO RECONCILE HIM TO $GOD?
1485-FL/1717:018(016) COULD $ELIPHAZ JUSTLY HAVE ANY PREJUDICE AGAINST $JOB, BEC
AUSE $GOD WOULD HEAR $JOB'S INTERCESSION FOR HIM?
1486-FL/1717:019(031) WHY THEN, MY LORD, MUST THE $CHRISTIAN PRIESTHOOD BE SO HO
RRID AND HATEFUL AN INSTITUTION, BECAUSE THE DESIGN OF IT IS TO RESTORE MEN TO T
HE GRACE AND FAVOUR OF $GOD?
1487-FL/1717:020(024) WHY MUST WE BE ABUS'D AND INSULTED FOR BEING SENT UPON THE
 ERRAND OF SALVATION, AND MADE MINISTERS OF ETERNAL HAPPINESS TO OUR BRETHREN?
1488-FL/1717:021(024) THERE IS A WOE DUE TO US IF WE PREACH NOT THE GOSPEL, OR N
EGLECT THOSE MINISTERIAL OFFICES THAT $CHRIST HAS ENTRUSTED TO US.
1489-FL/1717:022(015) WE ARE TO WATCH FOR THEIR SOULS, AS THOSE WHO ARE TO GIVE
AN ACCOUNT.
1490-FL/1717:023(031) WHY THEN MUST WE BE TREATED AS ARROGANT PRIESTS, OR POPISH
LY AFFECTED, FOR PRETENDING TO HAVE ANY THING TO DO IN THE DISCHARGE OF OUR MINI
STRY, WITH THE SALVATION OF MEN?
1491-FL/1717:024(032) WHY MUST WE BE REPROACH'D WITH BLASPHEMOUS CLAIMS, AND ABS
URD SENSELESS POWERS, FOR ASSUMING TO BLESS IN $GOD'S NAME, OR THINKING OUR ADMI
NISTRATIONS MORE EFFECTUAL THAN THE OFFICE OF A COMMON LAYMAN?
1492-FL/1717:025(026) BUT FARTHER, TO WHAT PURPOSE DOES YOUR LORDSHIP EXCEPT AGA
INST THESE POWERS IN THE CLERGY, FROM THEIR COMMON FRAILTIES AND INFIRMITIES WIT
H THE REST OF MANKIND?
1493-FL/1717:026(015) WERE NOT $ABRAHAM, AND $JOB, AND THE $JEWISH PRIESTS, MEN
OF LIKE PASSIONS WITH US?
1494-FL/1717:027(022) DID NOT OUR SAVIOUR COMMAND THE $JEWS TO APPLY TO THEIR PR
IESTS, NOTWITHSTANDING THEIR PERSONAL FAULTS, BECAUSE THEY SAT IN $MOSES'S CHAIR
?
1495-FL/1717:028(016) DID NOT THE APOSTLES ASSURE THEIR FOLLOWERS THAT THEY WERE
 MEN OF LIKE PASSIONS WITH THEM?
1496-FL/1717:029(010) BUT DID THEY THEREFORE DISCLAIM THEIR MISSION, OR APOSTOLI
CAL AUTHORITY?
1497-FL/1717:030(022) DID THEY TEACH, THAT THEIR NATURAL INFIRMITIES MADE THEM L
ESS THE MINISTERS OF $GOD, OR LESS NECESSARY TO THE SALVATION OF MEN?
1498-FL/1717:031(057) THEIR PERSONAL DEFECTS DID NOT MAKE THEM DEPART FROM THE C
LAIM OF THOSE POWERS THEY WERE INVESTED WITH, OR DESERT THEIR MINISTRY, BUT, IND
EED, GAVE ST $PAUL OCCASION TO SAY, <WE HAVE THIS TREASURE IN EARTHEN VESSELS>,
(IE THIS AUTHORITY COMMITTED TO MERE MEN) <THAT THE EXCELLENCY OF IT MAY BE OF $
GOD, AND NOT OF MEN>.
1499-FL/1717:032(026) THE APOSTLE HAPPENS TO DIFFER VERY MUCH FROM YOUR LORDSHIP
: HE SAYS, SUCH WEAK INSTRUMENTS WERE MADE USE OF THAT THE GLORY MIGHT REDOUND T
O $GOD.
1500-FL/1717:033(026) YOUR LORDSHIP SAYS, TO SUPPOSE SUCH INSTRUMENTS TO BE OF A
NY BENEFIT TO US, IS TO LESSEN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF $GOD, AND, IN CONSEQUENCE, HIS
 GLORY.
1501-EJ/1724:001(054) IT HAPPENED, AT THIS TIME, THAT THE MISTRESS BEING PERFECT
LY RECOVERED OF HER LATE INDISPOSITION, WAS RETURN'D HOME, IN COMPANY WITH HER M
OTHER=IN=LAW; THE FIRST NEWS SHE HEARD, WAS OF THE LOSS OF THE SPOONS, WITH THE
MANNER HOW; THE MAID TELLING HER, AT THE SAME TIME, THAT THE YOUNG MAN WAS RUN A
WAY.
1502-EJ/1724:002(062) THE YOUNG FELLOW HAD INTELLIGENCE OF THE MISTRESS'S ARRIVA
L, AND CONSIDERING WITH HIMSELF, THAT HE COULD NEVER APPEAR AGAIN IN HIS BUSINES
S, UNLESS THIS MATTER WAS GOT OVER, AND SHE BEING A GOOD NATURED WOMAN, HE TOOK
A RESOLUTION OF GOING DIRECTLY TO HER, AND OF TELLING HER THE WHOLE STORY, ONLY
WITH THIS DIFFERENCE, THAT HE DID IT FOR A JEST.
1503-EJ/1724:003(051) THE MISTRESS COULD SCARCE BELIEVE IT, HOWEVER, SHE WENT DI
RECTLY TO THE MAID'S ROOM, AND TURNING DOWN THE BED CLOATHS, THERE, TO HER GREAT
 SURPRISE, FOUND THE THREE SPOONS; UPON THIS SHE DESIRED THE YOUNG MAN TO GO HOM
E AND MIND HIS BUSINESS, FOR HE SHOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE ABOUT IT.
1504-EJ/1724:004(088) THE MISTRESS COULD NOT IMAGINE THE MEANING OF THIS, SHE NE
VER HAD FOUND THE MAID GUILTY OF ANY PILFERING, AND THEREFORE IT COULD NOT ENTER
 HER HEAD, THAT SHE DESIGNED TO STEAL THE SPOONS HER SELF; UPON THE WHOLE, SHE C
ONCLUDED THE MAID HAD NOT BEEN IN HER BED, FROM THE TIME THE SPOONS WERE MISS'D,
 SHE GREW IMMEDIATELY JEALOUS UPON IT, AND SUSPECTED, THAT THE MAID SUPPLIED HER
 PLACE WITH HER HUSBAND, DURING HER ABSENCE, AND THIS WAS THE REASON WHY THE SPO
ONS WERE NO SOONER FOUND.
1505-EJ/1724:005(101) SHE CALL'D TO MIND SEVERAL ACTIONS OF KINDNESS, HER HUSBAN
D HAD SHEWED THE MAID, THINGS THAT PASS'D UNHEEDED BY, WHEN THEY HAPPENED, BUT N
OW SHE HAD GOT THAT TORMENTOR, JEALOUSY, IN HER HEAD, AMOUNTED TO PROOFS OF THEI
R INTIMACY; ANOTHER CIRCUMSTANCE WHICH STRENGTHEN'D THE WHOLE, WAS, THAT THO' HE
R HUSBAND KNEW SHE WAS TO COME HOME THAT DAY, AND HAD HAD NO COMMUNICATION WITH
HER IN FOUR MONTHS, WHICH WAS BEFORE HER LAST LYING=IN, YET HE TOOK AN OPPORTUNI
TY OF GOING OUT OF TOWN THAT MORNING, UPON SOME SLIGHT PRETENCE: - ALL THESE THI
NGS PUT TOGETHER, CONFIRM'D HER IN HER JEALOUSY.
1506-EJ/1724:006(129) AS WOMEN SELDOM FORGIVE INJURIES OF THIS KIND, SHE THOUGHT
 OF DISCHARGING HER REVENGE UPON THE MAID: IN ORDER TO THIS, SHE LEAVES THE SPOO
NS WHERE SHE FOUND THEM, AND ORDERS THE MAID TO PUT CLEAN SHEETS UPON THE BED, T
ELLING HER, SHE INTENDED TO LIE THERE HERSELF THAT NIGHT, BECAUSE HER MOTHER=IN=
LAW WAS TO LIE IN HER BED, AND THAT SHE (THE MAID) MUST LIE IN ANOTHER PART OF T
HE HOUSE; THE MAID IN MAKING THE BED, WAS SURPRIZED WITH THE SIGHT OF THE SPOONS
, BUT THERE WERE VERY GOOD REASONS, WHY IT WAS NOT PROPER FOR HER TO TELL WHERE
SHE FOUND THEM, THEREFORE SHE TAKES THEM UP, PUTS THEM IN HER TRUNK, INTENDING T
O LEAVE THEM IN SOME PLACE, WHERE THEY MIGHT BE FOUND BY CHANCE.
1507-EJ/1724:007(119) THE MISTRESS, THAT EVERY THING MIGHT LOOK TO BE DONE WITHO
UT DESIGN, LIES THAT NIGHT IN THE MAID'S BED, LITTLE DREAMING OF WHAT AN ADVENTU
RE IT WOULD PRODUCE: AFTER SHE HAD BEEN ABED SOME TIME, THINKING ON WHAT HAD PAS
S'D, FOR JEALOUSY KEPT HER AWAKE, SHE HEARD SOME BODY ENTER THE ROOM; AT FIRST S
HE APPREHENDED IT TO BE THIEVES, AND WAS SO FRIGHT'NED, SHE HAD NOT COURAGE ENOU
GH TO CALL OUT; BUT WHEN SHE HEARD THESE WORDS, "$MARY, ARE YOU AWAKE", SHE KNEW
 IT TO BE HER HUSBAND'S VOICE; THEN HER FRIGHT WAS OVER, YET SHE MADE NO ANSWER,
 LEST HE SHOULD FIND HER OUT, IF SHE SPOKE, THEREFORE SHE RESOLVED TO COUNTERFEI
T SLEEP, AND TAKE WHAT FOLLOWED.
1508-EJ/1724:008(044) THE HUSBAND CAME TO BED, AND THAT NIGHT PLAY'D THE VIGOROU
S LOVER; BUT ONE THING SPOIL'D THE DIVERSION ON THE WIFE'S SIDE, WHICH WAS, THE
REFLECTION THAT IT WAS NOT DESIGN'D FOR HER; HOWEVER SHE WAS VERY PASSIVE, AND B
ORE IT LIKE A $CHRISTIAN.
1509-EJ/1724:009(123) EARLY BEFORE DAY, SHE STOLE OUT OF BED, LEAVING HIM ASLEEP
, AND WENT TO HER MOTHER=IN=LAW, TELLING HER WHAT HAD PASSED, NOT FORGETTING HOW
 HE HAD USED HER, AS TAKING HER FOR THE MAID; THE HUSBAND ALSO STOLE OUT, NOT TH
INKING IT CONVENIENT TO BE CATCH'D IN THAT ROOM; IN THE MEAN TIME, THE REVENGE O
F THE MISTRESS WAS STRONGLY AGAINST THE MAID, AND WITHOUT CONSIDERING, THAT TO H
ER SHE OW'D THE DIVERSION OF THE NIGHT BEFORE, AND THAT ONE GOOD TURN SHOULD DES
ERVE ANOTHER; SHE SENT FOR A CONSTABLE, AND CHARGED HER WITH STEALING THE SPOONS
: THE MAID'S TRUNK WAS BROKE OPEN, AND THE SPOONS FOUND, UPON WHICH SHE WAS CARR
IED BEFORE A JUSTICE OF PEACE, AND BY HIM COMMITTED TO GOAL.
1510-EJ/1724:010(087) THE HUSBAND LOITER'D ABOUT TILL TWELVE A'CLOCK AT NOON, TH
EN COMES HOME, PRETENDED HE WAS JUST COME TO TOWN; AS SOON AS HE HEARD WHAT HAD
PASSED, IN RELATION TO THE MAID, HE FELL INTO A GREAT PASSION WITH HIS WIFE; THI
S SET THE THING INTO A GREATER FLAME, THE MOTHER TAKES THE WIFE'S PART AGAINST H
ER OWN SON, INSOMUCH THAT THE QUARREL INCREASING, THE MOTHER AND WIFE TOOK HORSE
 IMMEDIATELY, AND WENT BACK TO THE MOTHER'S HOUSE, AND THE HUSBAND AND WIFE NEVE
R BEDDED TOGETHER AFTER.
1511-EJ/1724:011(080) THE MAID LAY A LONG TIME IN THE PRISON, IT BEING NEAR HALF
 A YEAR TO THE ASSIZES; BUT BEFORE IT HAPPENED, IT WAS DISCOVERED SHE WAS WITH C
HILD; WHEN SHE WAS ARRAIGN'D AT THE BAR, SHE WAS DISCHARGED FOR WANT OF EVIDENCE
; THE WIFE'S CONSCIENCE TOUCH'D HER, AND AS SHE DID NOT BELIEVE THE MAID GUILTY
OF ANY THEFT, EXCEPT THAT OF LOVE, SHE DID NOT APPEAR AGAINST HER; SOON AFTER HE
R ACQUITTAL, SHE WAS DELIVERED OF A GIRL.
1512-EJ/1724:012(075) BUT WHAT ALARM'D THE HUSBAND MOST, WAS, THAT IT WAS DISCOV
ERED THE WIFE WAS WITH CHILD ALSO, HE TAKING IT FOR GRANTED, HE HAD HAD NO INTIM
ACY WITH HER, SINCE HER LAST LYING=IN, GREW JEALOUS OF HER, IN HIS TURN, AND MAD
E THIS A HANDLE TO JUSTIFY HIMSELF, FOR HIS USAGE OF HER, PRETENDING NOW HE HAD
SUSPECTED HER LONG, BUT THAT HERE WAS PROOF; SHE WAS DELIVERED OF TWINS, A BOY A
ND A GIRL.
1513-EJ/1724:013(053) THE MOTHER FELL ILL, SENT TO HER SON TO RECONCILE HIM TO H
IS WIFE, BUT HE WOULD NOT HEARKEN TO IT; THEREFORE SHE MADE A WILL, LEAVING ALL
SHE HAD IN THE HANDS OF CERTAIN TRUSTEES, FOR THE USE OF THE WIFE AND TWO CHILDR
EN LATELY BORN, AND DIED A FEW DAYS AFTER.
1514-EJ/1724:014(123) THIS WAS AN UGLY TURN UPON HIM, HIS GREATEST DEPENDANCE BE
ING UPON HIS MOTHER; HOWEVER, HIS WIFE WAS KINDER TO HIM THAN HE DESERVED, FOR S
HE MADE HIM A YEARLY ALLOWANCE OUT OF WHAT WAS LEFT, THO' THEY CONTINUED TO LIVE
 SEPARATE: IT LASTED NEAR FIVE YEARS; AT THIS TIME HAVING A GREAT AFFECTION FOR
THE GIRL HE HAD BY HIS MAID, HE HAD A MIND TO TAKE IT HOME, TO LIVE WITH HIM; BU
T AS ALL THE TOWN KNEW IT TO BE A GIRL, THE BETTER TO DISGUISE THE MATTER FROM T
HEM, AS WELL AS FROM HIS WIFE, HE HAD IT PUT INTO BREECHES, AS A BOY, PRETENDING
 IT WAS A RELATION'S CHILD HE WAS TO BREED UP TO BE HIS CLERK.
1515-EJ/1724:015(070) THE WIFE HEARD HE HAD A LITTLE BOY AT HOME HE WAS VERY FON
D OF, BUT AS SHE DID NOT KNOW ANY RELATION OF HIS THAT HAD SUCH A CHILD, SHE EMP
LOY'D A FRIEND TO ENQUIRE FURTHER INTO IT; THIS PERSON BY TALKING WITH THE CHILD
, FOUND IT TO BE A GIRL, DISCOVERED THAT THE SERVANT=MAID WAS ITS MOTHER, AND TH
AT THE HUSBAND STILL KEPT UP HIS CORRESPONDENCE WITH HER.
1516-EJ/1724:016(098) UPON THIS INTELLIGENCE, THE WIFE BEING UNWILLING THAT HER
CHILDREN'S MONEY SHOULD GO TOWARDS THE MAINTENANCE OF BASTARDS, STOPPED THE ALLO
WANCE: THE HUSBAND ENRAGED, IN A KIND OF REVENGE, TAKES THE MAID HOME, AND LIVES
 WITH HER PUBLICKLY, TO THE GREAT SCANDAL OF HIS NEIGHBOURS; BUT HE SOON FOUND T
HE BAD EFFECT OF IT, FOR BY DEGREES LOST HIS PRACTICE, SO THAT HE SAW PLAINLY HE
 COULD NOT LIVE THERE, THEREFORE HE THOUGHT OF REMOVING, AND TURNING WHAT EFFECT
S HE HAD INTO READY MONEY; HE GOES TO $CORK, AND THERE WITH HIS MAID AND DAUGHTE
R EMBARQUES FOR $CAROLINA.
1517-EJ/1724:017(056) AT FIRST HE FOLLOWED THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW IN THAT PROVI
NCE, BUT AFTERWARDS FELL INTO MERCHANDIZE, WHICH PROVED MORE SUCCESSFUL TO HIM,
FOR HE GAINED BY IT SUFFICIENT TO PURCHASE A CONSIDERABLE PLANTATION: HIS MAID,
WHO PASSED FOR HIS WIFE, HAPPENED TO DIE, AFTER WHICH HIS DAUGHTER, OUR $ANNE_BO
NNY, NOW GROWN UP, KEPT HIS HOUSE.
1518-EJ/1724:018(091) SHE WAS OF A FIERCE AND COURAGEOUS TEMPER, WHEREFORE, WHEN
 SHE LAY UNDER CONDEMNATION, SEVERAL STORIES WERE REPORTED OF HER, MUCH TO HER D
ISADVANTAGE, AS THAT SHE HAD KILL'D AN $ENGLISH SERVANT=MAID ONCE IN HER PASSION
 WITH A CASE=KNIFE, WHILE SHE LOOK'D AFTER HER FATHER'S HOUSE; BUT UPON FURTHER
ENQUIRY, I FOUND THIS STORY TO BE GROUNDLESS: IT WAS CERTAIN SHE WAS SO ROBUST,
THAT ONCE, WHEN A YOUNG FELLOW WOULD HAVE LAIN WITH HER, AGAINST HER WILL, SHE B
EAT HIM SO, THAT HE LAY ILL OF IT A CONSIDERABLE TIME.
1519-EJ/1724:019(095) WHILE SHE LIVED WITH HER FATHER, SHE WAS LOOK'D UPON AS ON
E THAT WOULD BE A GOOD FORTUNE, WHEREFORE IT WAS THOUGHT HER FATHER EXPECTED A G
OOD MATCH FOR HER; BUT SHE SPOILT ALL, FOR WITHOUT HIS CONSENT, SHE MARRIES A YO
UNG FELLOW, WHO BELONGED TO THE SEA, AND WAS NOT WORTH A GROAT; WHICH PROVOKED H
ER FATHER TO SUCH A DEGREE, THAT HE TURNED HER OUT OF DOORS, UPON WHICH THE YOUN
G FELLOW, WHO MARRIED HER, FINDING HIMSELF DISAPPOINTED IN HIS EXPECTATION, SHIP
PED HIMSELF AND WIFE, FOR THE ISLAND OF $PROVIDENCE, EXPECTING EMPLOYMENT THERE.

1520-EJ/1724:020(108) HERE SHE BECAME ACQUAINTED WITH $RACKAM THE PIRATE, WHO MA
KING COURTSHIP TO HER, SOON FOUND MEANS OF WITHDRAWING HER AFFECTIONS FROM HER H
USBAND, SO THAT SHE CONSENTED TO ELOPE FROM HIM, AND GO TO SEA WITH $RACKAM IN M
EN'S CLOATHS: SHE WAS AS GOOD AS HER WORD, AND AFTER SHE HAD BEEN AT SEA SOME TI
ME, SHE PROVED WITH CHILD, AND BEGINNING TO GROW BIG, $RACKAM LANDED HER ON THE
ISLAND OF $CUBA; AND RECOMMENDING HER THERE TO SOME FRIENDS OF HIS, THEY TOOK CA
RE OF HER, TILL SHE WAS BROUGHT TO BED: WHEN SHE WAS UP AND WELL AGAIN, HE SENT
FOR HER TO BEAR HIM COMPANY.
1521-EJ/1724:021(040) THE KING'S PROCLAMATION BEING OUT, FOR PARDONING OF PIRATE
S, HE TOOK THE BENEFIT OF IT, AND SURRENDERED; AFTERWARDS BEING SENT UPON THE PR
IVATEERING ACCOUNT, HE RETURNED TO HIS OLD TRADE, AS HAS BEEN ALREADY HINTED IN
THE STORY OF $MARY_READ.
1522-EJ/1724:022(054) IN ALL THESE EXPEDITIONS, $ANNE_BONNY BORE HIM COMPANY, AN
D WHEN ANY BUSINESS WAS TO BE DONE IN THEIR WAY, NO BODY WAS MORE FORWARD OR COU
RAGEOUS THAN SHE, AND PARTICULARLY WHEN THEY WERE TAKEN; SHE AND $MARY_READ, WIT
H ONE MORE, WERE ALL THE PERSONS THAT DURST KEEP THE DECK, AS HAS BEEN BEFORE HI
NTED.
1523-EJ/1724:023(063) HER FATHER WAS KNOWN TO A GREAT MANY GENTLEMEN, PLANTERS O
F $JAMAICA, WHO HAD DEALT WITH HIM, AND AMONG WHOM HE HAD A GOOD REPUTATION; AND
 SOME OF THEM, WHO HAD BEEN IN $CAROLINA, REMEMBER'D TO HAVE SEEN HER IN HIS HOU
SE; WHEREFORE THEY WERE INCLINED TO SHEW HER FAVOUR, BUT THE ACTION OF LEAVING H
ER HUSBAND WAS AN UGLY CIRCUMSTANCE AGAINST HER.
1524-EJ/1724:024(048) THE DAY THAT $RACKAM WAS EXECUTED, BY SPECIAL FAVOUR, HE W
AS ADMITTED TO SEE HER; BUT ALL THE COMFORT SHE GAVE HIM, WAS, "THAT SHE WAS SOR
RY TO SEE HIM THERE, BUT IF HE HAD FOUGHT LIKE A MAN, HE NEED NOT HAVE BEEN HANG
'D LIKE A DOG".
1525-EJ/1724:025(037) SHE WAS CONTINUED IN PRISON, TO THE TIME OF HER LYING=IN,
AND AFTERWARDS REPRIEVED FROM TIME TO TIME; BUT WHAT IS BECOME OF HER SINCE, WE
CANNOT TELL; ONLY THIS WE KNOW, THAT SHE WAS NOT EXECUTED.
1526-FO/1725:001(037) THE ACTIONS WHICH FLOW SOLELY FROM SELF=LOVE, AND YET EVID
ENCE NO WANT OF BENEVOLENCE, HAVING NO HURTFUL EFFECTS UPON OTHERS, SEEM PERFECT
LY INDIFFERENT IN A MORAL SENSE, AND NEITHER RAISE THE LOVE OR HATRED OF THE OBS
ERVER.
1527-FO/1725:002(133) OUR REASON CAN DISCOVER INDEED CERTAIN BOUNDS, WITHIN WHIC
H WE MAY NOT ONLY ACT FROM SELF=LOVE, CONSISTENTLY WITH THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE, B
UT EVERY MORTAL'S ACTING THUS WITHIN THESE BOUNDS FOR HIS OWN GOOD, IS ABSOLUTEL
Y NECESSARY FOR THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE, AND THE WANT OF SUCH SELF=LOVE WOULD BE U
NIVERSALLY PERNICIOUS; AND HENCE, HE WHO PURSUES HIS OWN PRIVATE GOOD, WITH AN I
NTENTION ALSO TO CONCUR WITH THAT CONSTITUTION, WHICH TENDS TO THE GOOD OF THE W
HOLE; AND MUCH MORE HE WHO PROMOTES HIS OWN GOOD, WITH A DIRECT VIEW OF MAKING H
IMSELF MORE CAPABLE OF SERVING $GOD, OR DOING GOOD TO MANKIND; ACTS NOT ONLY INN
OCENTLY, BUT ALSO HONOURABLY, AND VIRTUOUSLY: FOR IN BOTH THESE CASES, A MOTIVE
OF BENEVOLENCE CONCURS WITH SELF=LOVE TO EXCITE HIM TO THE ACTION.
1528-FO/1725:003(021) AND THUS A NEGLECT OF OUR OWN GOOD, MAY BE MORALLY EVIL, A
ND ARGUE A WANT OF BENEVOLENCE TOWARD THE WHOLE.
1529-FO/1725:004(036) BUT WHEN SELF=LOVE BREAKS OVER THE BOUNDS ABOVE=MENTION'D,
 AND LEADS US INTO ACTIONS DETRIMENTAL TO OTHERS, AND TO THE WHOLE, OR MAKES US
INSENSIBLE OF THE GENEROUS KIND AFFECTIONS; THEN IT APPEARS VITIOUS, AND IS DISA
PPROV'D.
1530-FO/1725:005(081) SO ALSO, WHEN UPON ANY SMALL INJURIES, OR SUDDEN RESENTMEN
T, OR ANY WEAK SUPERSTITIOUS SUGGESTIONS, OUR BENEVOLENCE IS SO FAINT, AS TO LET
 US RUN INTO ANY ODIOUS CONCEPTIONS OF MANKIND, OR ANY PART OF THEM, WITHOUT JUS
T GROUND, AS IF THEY WERE WHOLLY EVIL, OR MALICIOUS, OR AS IF THEY WERE A WORSE
SORT OF BEINGS THAN THEY REALLY ARE; THESE CONCEPTIONS MUST LEAD US INTO MALEVOL
ENT AFFECTIONS, OR AT LEAST WEAKEN OUR GOOD ONES, AND MAKE US REALLY VITIOUS.
1531-FO/1725:006(039) HERE WE MUST ALSO OBSERVE, THAT EVERY MORAL AGENT JUSTLY C
ONSIDERS HIMSELF AS A PART OF THIS RATIONAL SYSTEM, WHICH MAY BE USEFUL TO THE W
HOLE; SO THAT HE MAY BE IN PART AN OBJECT OF HIS OWN BENEVOLENCE.
1532-FO/1725:007(025) NAY FURTHER, AS WAS HINTED ABOVE, HE MAY SEE, THAT THE PRE
SERVATION OF THE SYSTEM REQUIRES, THAT EVERY ONE SHOULD BE INNOCENTLY SOLICITOUS
 ABOUT HIMSELF.
1533-FO/1725:008(116) HENCE HE MAY CONCLUDE, THAT AN ACTION WHICH BRINGS GREATER
 EVIL TO THE AGENT, THAN GOOD TO OTHERS; HOWEVER IT MAY EVIDENCE STRONG BENEVOLE
NCE, OR A VIRTUOUS DISPOSITION IN THE AGENT; YET IT SHEWS IT TO BE FOUNDED UPON
A MISTAKEN OPINION OF THE TENDENCY OF AN ACTION TO THE PUBLICK GOOD, WHICH DOES
NOT IN REALITY TEND TO IT: SO THAT A WISE MAN WHO REASON'D JUSTLY, AND CONSIDER'
D THE WHOLE, WOULD NOT BE LED INTO IT, WERE HIS BENEVOLENCE EVER SO STRONG; NOR
WOULD HE RECOMMEND IT TO THE PRACTICE OF OTHERS; HOWEVER HE MIGHT ACKNOWLEDGE, T
HAT THE DETRIMENT ARISING TO THE AGENT FROM A KIND ACTION, DID EVIDENCE A STRONG
 DISPOSITION TO VIRTUE.
1534-FO/1725:009(059) NAY FURTHER, WERE THERE ANY GOOD PROPOS'D TO THE PURSUIT O
F AN AGENT, AND HE HAD A COMPETITOR IN EVERY RESPECT ONLY EQUAL TO HIMSELF, THE
HIGHEST BENEVOLENCE POSSIBLE WOULD NOT LEAD A WISE MAN TO PREFER ANOTHER TO HIMS
ELF, WERE THERE NO TIES OF GRATITUDE, OR SOME OTHER EXTERNAL CIRCUMSTANCE TO MOV
E HIM TO YIELD TO HIS COMPETITOR.
1535-FO/1725:010(062) A MAN SURELY OF THE STRONGEST BENEVOLENCE, MAY JUST TREAT
HIMSELF AS HE WOULD DO A THIRD PERSON, WHO WAS A COMPETITOR OF EQUAL MERIT WITH
THE OTHER; AND AS HIS PREFERRING ONE TO ANOTHER, IN SUCH A CASE, WOULD ARGUE NO
WEAKNESS OF BENEVOLENCE, SO, NO MORE WOULD HE EVIDENCE IT BY PREFERRING HIMSELF
TO A MAN OF ONLY EQUAL ABILITIES.
1536-FO/1725:011(090) THE MORAL BEAUTY, OR DEFORMITY OF ACTIONS, IS NOT ALTER'D
BY THE MORAL QUALITIES OF THE OBJECTS, ANY FURTHER THAN AS THE QUALITIES OF THE
OBJECTS INCREASE OR DIMINISH THE BENEVOLENCE OF THE ACTION, OR THE PUBLICK GOOD
INTENDED BY IT: THUS BENEVOLENCE TOWARD THE WORST CHARACTERS, OR THE STUDY OF TH
EIR GOOD, MAY BE AS AMIABLE AS ANY WHATSOEVER; YEA OFTEN MORE SO THAN THAT TOWAR
D THE GOOD, SINCE IT ARGUES SUCH A STRONG DEGREE OF BENEVOLENCE AS CAN SURMOUNT
THE GREATEST OBSTACLE, THE MORAL EVIL IN THE OBJECT.
1537-FO/1725:012(106) HENCE THE LOVE OF UNJUST ENEMIES, IS COUNTED AMONG THE HIG
HEST VIRTUES: YET WHEN OUR BENEVOLENCE TO THE EVIL ENCOURAGES THEM IN THEIR BAD
INTENTIONS, OR MAKES THEM MORE CAPABLE OF MISCHIEF; THIS DIMINISHES OR DESTROYS
THE BEAUTY OF THE ACTION, OR EVEN MAKES IT EVIL, AS IT BETRAYS A NEGLECT OF THE
GOOD OF OTHERS MORE VALUABLE; BENEFICENCE TOWARD WHOM, WOULD HAVE TENDED MORE TO
 THE PUBLICK GOOD, THAN THAT TOWARD OUR INJURIOUS FAVOURITES: BUT BENEVOLENCE TO
WARD EVIL CHARACTERS, WHICH NEITHER ENCOURAGES THEM, NOR ENABLES THEM TO DO MISC
HIEF, NOR DIVERTS OUR BENEVOLENCE FROM PERSONS MORE USEFUL, HAS AS MUCH MORAL BE
AUTY AS ANY WHATSOEVER.
1538-FO/1725:013(158) IN COMPARING THE MORAL QUALITIES OF ACTIONS, IN ORDER TO R
EGULATE OUR ELECTION AMONG VARIOUS ACTIONS PROPOS'D, OR TO FIND WHICH OF THEM HA
S THE GREATEST MORAL EXCELLENCY, WE ARE LED BY OUR MORAL SENSE OF VIRTUE THUS TO
 JUDGE, THAT IN EQUAL DEGREES OF HAPPINESS, EXPECTED TO PROCEED FROM THE ACTION,
 THE VIRTUE IS IN PROPORTION TO THE NUMBER OF PERSONS TO WHOM THE HAPPINESS SHAL
L EXTEND: AND HERE THE DIGNITY, OR MORAL IMPORTANCE OF PERSONS, MAY COMPENSATE N
UMBERS; AND IN EQUAL NUMBERS, THE VIRTUE IS AS THE QUANTITY OF THE HAPPINESS, OR
 NATURAL GOOD; OR THAT THE VIRTUE IS IN A COMPOUND RATIO OF THE QUANTITY OF GOOD
, AND NUMBER OF ENJOYERS: AND IN THE SAME MANNER, THE MORAL EVIL, OR VICE, IS AS
 THE DEGREE OF MISERY, AND NUMBER OF SUFFERERS; SO THAT, THAT ACTION IS BEST, WH
ICH ACCOMPLISHES THE GREATEST HAPPINESS FOR THE GREATEST NUMBERS; AND THAT, WORS
T, WHICH, IN LIKE MANNER, OCCASIONS MISERY.
1539-FO/1725:014(040) AGAIN, WHEN THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS ARE OF A MIX'D NAT
URE, PARTLY ADVANTAGEOUS, PARTLY PERNICIOUS, THAT ACTION IS GOOD, WHOSE GOOD EFF
ECTS PREPONDERATE THE EVIL, BY BEING USEFUL TO MANY, AND PERNICIOUS TO FEW; AND
THAT, EVIL, WHICH IS OTHERWISE.
1540-FO/1725:015(053) HERE ALSO THE MORAL IMPORTANCE OF CHARACTERS, OR DIGNITY O
F PERSONS MAY COMPENSATE NUMBERS; AS MAY ALSO THE DEGREES OF HAPPINESS OR MISERY
: FOR TO PROCURE AN INCONSIDERABLE GOOD TO MANY, BUT AN IMMENSE EVIL TO FEW, MAY
 BE EVIL; AND AN IMMENSE GOOD TO FEW, MAY PREPONDERATE A SMALL EVIL TO MANY.
1541-FO/1725:016(030) BUT BY THE CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS, WE ARE NOT ONLY TO UND
ERSTAND THE IMMEDIATE EFFECTS DIRECTLY PRODUC'D BY THEM, BUT ALSO ALL THOSE EVEN
TS WHICH OTHERWISE WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPEN'D.
1542-FO/1725:017(068) THUS MANY ACTIONS WHICH HAVE NO IMMEDIATE EVIL EFFECTS; NA
Y, WHICH ACTUALLY PRODUCE GOOD EFFECTS, MAY BE EVIL, IF THEIR UNIVERSAL ALLOWANC
E WOULD BE MORE DETRIMENTAL TO MANKIND THAN THEIR UNIVERSAL PROHIBITION; OR IF T
HERE BE NO FIXED STANDARD, THAT MEN MAY EASILY KNOW WHEN SUCH ACTIONS ARE ALLOW'
D, AND WHEN PROHIBITED; OR WHEN SUCH ACTIONS, HOWEVER USEFUL IN PARTICULAR INSTA
NCES, MIGHT BE PRECEDENTS TO THE GREATEST MISCHIEF.
1543-FO/1725:018(111) AS FOR EXAMPLE, THE EXECUTION OF JUSTICE BY PRIVATE PERSON
S ON OFFENDERS, IN ANY STATE NOT ENTIRELY PERVERTED FROM THE ENDS OF GOVERNMENT;
 THE VIOLATING THE RIGHTS OF WORTHLESS PERSONS, IN FAVOUR OF THOSE OF GREAT MORA
L CAPACITIES, AND OF GREAT BENEVOLENCE; THE PROTECTING THE INNOCENT BY FALSE TES
TIMONY IN A COURT OF JUSTICE, AND SUCH LIKE, MAY BE VERY USEFUL IN SINGULAR INST
ANCES: BUT THEN THE ALLOWANCE OF SUCH ACTIONS WOULD LEAD INTO THE GREATEST MISCH
IEF, SINCE EVERY ONE WOULD JUDGE FOR HIMSELF WHAT CASES WERE PROPER, AND WHAT NO
T, AND THEN THERE COULD BE NO CERTAINTY OF LIFE, POSSESSIONS OR EVIDENCES: AND H
ENCE SUCH PRACTICES ARE UNIVERSALLY COUNTED EVIL.
1544-FO/1725:019(053) FROM THE TWO LAST OBSERVATIONS, WE MAY SEE WHAT ACTIONS OU
R MORAL SENSE WOULD MOST RECOMMEND TO OUR ELECTION, AS THE MOST PERFECTLY VIRTUO
US; VIZ SUCH AS APPEAR TO HAVE THE MOST UNIVERSAL UNLIMITED TENDENCY TO THE GREA
TEST AND MOST EXTENSIVE HAPPINESS OF ALL THE RATIONAL AGENTS, TO WHOM OUR INFLUE
NCE CAN EXTEND.
1545-FO/1725:020(042) ALL BENEVOLENCE, EVEN TOWARD A PART, IS AMIABLE, IF NOT IN
CONSISTENT WITH THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE: BUT THIS IS A SMALLER DEGREE OF VIRTUE, U
NLESS OUR BENEFICENCE BE RESTRAIN'D BY WANT OF POWER, AND NOT WANT OF LOVE TO TH
E WHOLE.
1546-FO/1725:021(062) ALL STRICT ATTACHMENTS TO PARTIES, SECTS, FACTIONS, HAVE B
UT AN IMPERFECT SPECIES OF BEAUTY, UNLESS WHEN THE GOOD OF THE WHOLE REQUIRES A
STRICTER ATTACHMENT TO A PART, AS IN NATURAL AFFECTION, OR VIRTUOUS FRIENDSHIPS;
 OR WHEN SOME PARTS ARE SO EMINENTLY USEFUL TO THE WHOLE, THAT EVEN UNIVERSAL BE
NEVOLENCE WOULD DETERMINE US WITH SPECIAL CARE AND AFFECTION TO STUDY THEIR INTE
RESTS.
1547-FO/1725:022(044) THUS UNIVERSAL BENEVOLENCE WOULD INCLINE US TO A MORE STRO
NG CONCERN FOR THE INTERESTS OF GREAT AND GENEROUS CHARACTERS IN A HIGH STATION,
 OR MAKE US MORE EARNESTLY STUDY THE INTERESTS OF ANY GENEROUS SOCIETY, WHOSE WH
OLE CONSTITUTION IS CONTRIV'D TO PROMOTE UNIVERSAL GOOD.
1548-FO/1725:023(064) THUS A GOOD FANCY IN ARCHITECTURE, WOULD LEAD A MAN, WHO W
AS NOT ABLE TO BEAR THE EXPENCE OF A COMPLEATLY REGULAR BUILDING, TO CHUSE SUCH
A DEGREE OF ORNAMENT AS HE COULD KEEP UNIFORMLY THROUGH THE WHOLE, AND NOT MOVE
HIM TO MAKE A VAIN UNFINISH'D ATTEMPT IN ONE PART, OF WHAT HE FORESAW HE COULD N
OT SUCCEED IN AS TO THE WHOLE.
1549-FO/1725:024(059) AND THE MOST PERFECT RULES OF ARCHITECTURE CONDEMN AN EXCE
SSIVE PROFUSION OF ORNAMENT ON ONE PART, ABOVE THE PROPORTION OF THE WHOLE, UNLE
SS THAT PART BE SOME EMINENT PLACE OF THE EDIFICE, SUCH AS THE CHIEF FRONT, OR P
UBLICK ENTRANCE; THE ADORNING OF WHICH, WOULD BEAUTIFY THE WHOLE MORE THAN AN EQ
UAL EXPENCE OF ORNAMENT ON ANY OTHER PART.
1550-FO/1725:025(074) THIS INCREASE OF THE MORAL BEAUTY OF ACTIONS, OR DISPOSITI
ONS, ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF PERSONS TO WHOM THE GOOD EFFECTS OF THEM EXTEND,
 MAY SHEW US THE REASON WHY ACTIONS WHICH FLOW FROM THE NEARER ATTACHMENTS OF NA
TURE, SUCH AS THAT BETWEEN THE SEXES, AND THE LOVE OF OUR OFFSPRING, ARE NOT SO
AMIABLE, NOR DO THEY APPEAR SO VIRTUOUS, AS ACTIONS OF EQUAL MOMENT OF GOOD TOWA
RDS PERSONS LESS ATTACH'D TO US.
1551-FO/1725:026(063) THE REASON IS PLAINLY THIS: THESE STRONG INSTINCTS ARE BY
NATURE LIMITED TO SMALL NUMBERS OF MANKIND, SUCH AS OUR WIVES OR CHILDREN; WHERE
AS A DISPOSITION, WHICH WOULD PRODUCE A LIKE MOMENT OF GOOD TO OTHERS, UPON NO S
PECIAL ATTACHMENT, WERE IT ACCOMPANY'D WITH NATURAL POWER TO ACCOMPLISH ITS INTE
NTION, WOULD BE INCREDIBLY MORE FRUITFUL OF GREAT AND GOOD EFFECTS TO THE WHOLE.

1552-FQ/1725:001(013) IDEAS, ACCORDING TO THEIR OBJECTS, MAY FIRST BE DIVIDED IN
TO PARTICULAR OR UNIVERSAL.
1553-FQ/1725:002(010) A PARTICULAR IDEA IS THAT WHICH REPRESENTS ONE THING ONLY.

1554-FQ/1725:003(040) SOMETIMES THE ONE THING IS REPRESENTED IN A LOOSE AND INDE
TERMINATE MANNER, AS WHEN WE SAY, SOME MAN, ANY MAN, ONE MAN, ANOTHER MAN; SOME
HORSE, ANY HORSE; ONE CITY, OR ANOTHER; WHICH IS CALLED BY THE SCHOOLS <INDIVIDU
UM VAGUM>.
1555-FQ/1725:004(069) SOMETIMES THE PARTICULAR IDEA REPRESENTS ONE THING IN A DE
TERMINATE MANNER, AND THEN IT IS CALLED A SINGULAR IDEA; SUCH IS $BUCEPHALUS, OR
 $ALEXANDER'S HORSE, $CICERO THE ORATOR, $PETER THE APOSTLE, THE PALACE OF $VERS
AILLES, THIS BOOK, THAT RIVER, THE $NEW_FOREST, OR THE CITY OF $LONDON: THAT IDE
A WHICH REPRESENTS ONE PARTICULAR DETERMINATE THING TO ME, IS CALLED A SINGULAR
IDEA, WHETHER IT BE SIMPLE, OR COMPLEX, OR COMPOUND.
1556-FQ/1725:005(028) THE OBJECT OF ANY PARTICULAR IDEA, AS WELL AS THE IDEA ITS
ELF, IS SOMETIMES CALLED AN INDIVIDUAL: SO $PETER IS AN INDIVIDUAL MAN, $LONDON
IS AN INDIVIDUAL CITY.
1557-FQ/1725:006(025) SO THIS BOOK, ONE HORSE, ANOTHER HORSE, ARE ALL INDIVIDUAL
S; THOUGH THE WORD INDIVIDUAL IS MORE USUALLY LIMITED TO ONE SINGULAR, CERTAIN,
AND DETERMINED OBJECT.
1558-FQ/1725:007(036) AN UNIVERSAL IDEA, IS THAT WHICH REPRESENTS A COMMON NATUR
E AGREEING TO SEVERAL PARTICULAR THINGS; SO A HORSE, A MAN, OR A BOOK, ARE CALLE
D UNIVERSAL IDEAS, BECAUSE THEY AGREE TO ALL HORSES, MEN, OR BOOKS.
1559-FQ/1725:008(107) AND I THINK IT NOT AMISS TO INTIMATE IN THIS PLACE, THAT T
HESE UNIVERSAL IDEAS ARE FORMED BY THAT ACT OF THE MIND WHICH IS CALLED ABSTRACT
ION, THAT IS, A WITHDRAWING SOME PART OF AN IDEA FROM OTHER PARTS OF IT: FOR WHE
N SINGULAR IDEAS ARE FIRST LET INTO THE MIND BY SENSATION OR REFLECTION, THEN, I
N ORDER TO MAKE THEM UNIVERSAL, WE LEAVE OUT, OR DROP ALL THOSE PECULIAR AND DET
ERMINATE CHARACTERS, QUALITIES, MODES, OR CIRCUMSTANCES, WHICH BELONG MERELY TO
ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL BEING, AND BY WHICH IT DIFFERS FROM OTHER BEINGS; AND
WE ONLY CONTEMPLATE THOSE PROPERTIES OF IT, WHEREIN IT AGREES WITH OTHER BEINGS.

1560-FQ/1725:009(073) THOUGH IT MUST BE CONFESSED, THAT THE NAME OF ABSTRACTED I
DEAS IS SOMETIMES ATTRIBUTED TO UNIVERSAL IDEAS, BOTH SENSIBLE OR SPIRITUAL, YET
 THIS ABSTRACTION IS NOT SO GREAT, AS WHEN WE DROP OUT OF OUR IDEA EVERY SENSIBL
E OR SPIRITUAL REPRESENTATION, AND RETAIN NOTHING BUT THE MOST GENERAL AND ABSOL
UTE CONCEPTIONS OF THINGS, OR THEIR MERE RELATIONS TO ONE ANOTHER, WITHOUT ANY R
EGARD TO THEIR PARTICULAR NATURES, WHETHER THEY BE SENSIBLE OR SPIRITUAL.
1561-FQ/1725:010(025) AND IT IS TO THIS KIND OF CONCEPTIONS WE MORE PROPERLY GIV
E THE NAME OF ABSTRACTED IDEAS, AS IN THE FIRST SECTION OF THIS CHAPTER.
1562-FQ/1725:011(008) AN UNIVERSAL IDEA IS EITHER GENERAL OR SPIRITUAL.
1563-FQ/1725:012(022) A GENERAL IDEA IS CALLED BY THE SCHOOLS A GENUS; AND IT IS
 ONE COMMON NATURE AGREEING TO SEVERAL OTHER COMMON NATURES.
1564-FQ/1725:013(035) SO ANIMAL IS A GENUS; BECAUSE IT AGREES TO HORSE, LION, WH
ALE, BUTTERFLY, WHICH ARE ALSO COMMON IDEAS; SO FISH IS A GENUS, BECAUSE IT AGRE
ES TO TROUT, HERRING, CRAB, WHICH ARE COMMON NATURES ALSO.
1565-FQ/1725:014(039) A SPECIAL IDEA IS CALLED BY THE SCHOOLS A SPECIES; IT IS O
NE COMMON NATURE THAT AGREES TO SEVERAL SINGULAR INDIVIDUAL BEINGS; SO HORSE IS
A SPECIAL IDEA, OR A SPECIES, BECAUSE IT AGREES TO $BUCEPHALUS, $TROTT, AND $SNO
WBALL.
1566-FQ/1725:015(012) CITY IS A SPECIAL IDEA, FOR IT AGREES TO $LONDON, $PARIS,
$BRISTOL.
1567-FQ/1725:016(022) SOME OF THESE UNIVERSALS ARE GENUSES, IF COMPARED WITH LES
S COMMON NATURES; AND THEY ARE SPECIES, IF COMPARED WITH NATURES MORE COMMON.
1568-FQ/1725:017(029) SO BIRD IS A GENUS, IF COMPARED WITH EAGLE, SPARROW, RAVEN
, WHICH ARE ALSO COMMON NATURES: BUT IT IS A SPECIES, IF COMPARED WITH THE MORE
GENERAL NATURE, ANIMAL.
1569-FQ/1725:018(009) THE SAME MAY BE SAID OF FISH, BEAST, ETC.
1570-FQ/1725:019(047) THIS SORT OF UNIVERSAL IDEAS, WHICH MAY EITHER BE CONSIDER
ED AS A GENUS, OR A SPECIES, IS CALLED SUBALTERN: BUT THE HIGHEST GENUS, WHICH I
S NEVER A SPECIES, IS CALLED THE MOST GENERAL; AND THE LOWEST SPECIES, WHICH IS
NEVER A GENUS, IS CALLED THE MOST SPECIAL.
1571-FQ/1725:020(060) IT MAY BE OBSERVED HERE ALSO, THAT THAT GENERAL NATURE OR
PROPERTY WHEREIN ONE THING AGREES WITH MOST OTHER THINGS, IS CALLED ITS MORE REM
OTE GENUS: SO SUBSTANCE IS THE REMOTE GENUS OF BIRD, OR BEAST, BECAUSE IT AGREES
 NOT ONLY TO ALL KINDS OF ANIMALS, BUT ALSO TO THINGS INANIMATE, AS SUN, STARS,
CLOUDS, METALS, STONES, AIR, WATER, ETC.
1572-FQ/1725:021(017) BUT ANIMAL IS THE PROXIMATE OR NEAREST GENUS OF BIRD, BECA
USE IT AGREES TO FEWER OTHER THINGS.
1573-FQ/1725:022(014) THOSE GENERAL NATURES WHICH STAND BETWEEN THE NEAREST AND
MOST REMOTE, ARE CALLED INTERMEDIATE.
1574-FQ/1725:023(104) THIS ACCOUNT OF GENUS AND SPECIES IS PART OF THAT FAMOUS D
OCTRINE OF UNIVERSALS, WHICH IS TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOLS, WITH DIVERS OTHER FORMALI
TIES BELONGING TO IT; FOR IT IS IN THIS PLACE THAT THEY INTRODUCE DIFFERENCE, WH
ICH IS THE PRIMARY ESSENTIAL MODE, AND PROPERTY, OR THE SECONDARY ESSENTIAL MODE
, AND ACCIDENT, OR THE ACCIDENTAL MODE; AND THESE THEY CALL THE FIVE PREDICABLES
, BECAUSE EVERY THING THAT IS AFFIRMED CONCERNING ANY BEING MUST BE EITHER THE G
ENUS, THE SPECIES, THE DIFFERENCE, SOME PROPERTY, SOME ACCIDENT: BUT WHAT FARTHE
R IS NECESSARY TO BE SAID CONCERNING THESE THINGS WILL BE MENTIONED WHEN WE TREA
T OF DEFINITION.
1575-FQ/1725:024(034) HAVING FINISHED THE DOCTRINE OF UNIVERSAL AND PARTICULAR I
DEAS, I SHOULD TAKE NOTICE OF ANOTHER DIVISION OF THEM, WHICH ALSO HATH RESPECT
TO THEIR OBJECTS; AND THAT IS, THEY ARE EITHER REAL OR IMAGINARY.
1576-FQ/1725:025(061) REAL IDEAS ARE SUCH AS HAVE A JUST FOUNDATION IN NATURE, A
ND HAVE REAL OBJECTS, OR EXEMPLARS, WHICH DID, OR DO, OR MAY ACTUALLY EXIST, ACC
ORDING TO THE PRESENT STATE AND NATURE OF THINGS; SUCH ARE ALL OUR IDEAS OF LONG
, BROAD, SWIFT, SLOW, WOOD, IRON, MEN, HORSES, THOUGHTS, SPIRITS, A CRUEL MASTER
, A PROUD BEGGAR, A MAN SEVEN FEET HIGH.
1577-FQ/1725:026(099) IMAGINARY IDEAS, WHICH ARE ALSO CALLED FANTASTICAL, OR CHI
MERICAL, ARE SUCH AS ARE MADE BY ENLARGING, DIMINISHING, UNITING, DIVIDING REAL
IDEAS IN THE MIND, IN SUCH A MANNER, AS NO OBJECTS, OR EXEMPLARS, DID OR EVER WI
LL EXIST, ACCORDING TO THE PRESENT COURSE OF NATURE, THOUGH THE SEVERAL PARTS OF
 THESE IDEAS ARE BORROWED FROM REAL OBJECTS; SUCH ARE THE CONCEPTIONS WE HAVE OF
 A CENTAUR, A SATYR, A GOLDEN MOUNTAIN, A FLYING HORSE, A DOG WITHOUT A HEAD, A
BULL LESS THAN A MOUSE, OR A MOUSE AS BIG AS A BULL, AND A MAN TWENTY FEET HIGH.

1578-FQ/1725:027(071) SOME OF THESE FANTASTIC IDEAS ARE POSSIBLE, THAT IS, THEY
ARE NOT UTTERLY INCONSISTENT IN THE NATURE OF THINGS; AND THEREFORE IT IS WITHIN
 THE REACH OF DIVINE POWER TO MAKE SUCH OBJECTS; SUCH ARE MOST OF THE INSTANCES
ALREADY GIVEN: BUT IMPOSSIBLES CARRY AN UTTER INCONSISTENCE IN THE IDEAS WHICH A
RE JOINED; SUCH ARE SELF=ACTIVE MATTER, AND INFINITE OR ETERNAL MEN, A PIOUS MAN
, WITHOUT HONESTY, OR HEAVEN WITHOUT HOLINESS.
1579-FQ/1725:028(065) SEVERAL WRITERS HAVE DISTINGUISHED THE CLEAR IDEAS FROM TH
OSE THAT ARE DISTINCT; AND THE CONFUSED IDEAS FROM THOSE THAT ARE OBSCURE; AND I
T MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED, THERE MAY BE SOME DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM; FOR IT IS THE
 CLEARNESS OF IDEAS FOR THE MOST PART MAKES THEM DISTINCT; AND THE OBSCURITY OF
IDEAS IS ONE THING THAT WILL ALWAYS BRING A SORT OF CONFUSION INTO THEM.
1580-FQ/1725:029(044) YET WHEN THESE WRITERS COME TO TALK LARGELY UPON THIS SUBJ
ECT, AND TO EXPLAIN AND ADJUST THEIR MEANING WITH GREAT NICETY, I HAVE GENERALLY
 FOUND THAT THEY DID NOT KEEP UP THE DISTINCTION THEY FIRST DESIGNED, BUT THEY C
ONFOUND THE ONE WITH THE OTHER.
1581-FQ/1725:030(022) I SHALL THEREFORE TREAT OF CLEAR OR DISTINCT IDEAS, AS ONE
 AND THE SAME SORT, AND OBSCURE OR CONFUSED IDEAS, AS ANOTHER.
1582-FQ/1725:031(028) A CLEAR AND DISTINCT IDEA, IS THAT WHICH REPRESENTS THE OB
JECT OF THE MIND WITH FULL EVIDENCE AND STRENGTH, AND PLAINLY DISTINGUISHES IT F
ROM ALL OTHER OBJECTS WHATSOEVER.
1583-FQ/1725:032(043) AN OBSCURE AND CONFUSED IDEA, REPRESENTS THE OBJECT EITHER
 SO FAINTLY, SO IMPERFECTLY, OR SO MINGLED WITH OTHER IDEAS, THAT THE OBJECT OF
IT DOTH NOT APPEAR PLAIN TO THE MIND, NOR PURELY IN ITS OWN NATURE, NOR SUFFICIE
NTLY DISTINGUISHED FROM OTHER THINGS.
1584-FQ/1725:033(052) WHEN WE SEE THE SEA AND SKY NEARER AT HAND, WE HAVE A CLEA
R AND DISTINCT IDEA OF EACH; BUT WHEN WE LOOK FAR TOWARDS THE HORIZON, ESPECIALL
Y IN A MISTY DAY, OUR IDEAS OF BOTH ARE BUT OBSCURE AND CONFUSED; FOR WE KNOW NO
T WHICH IS SEA AND WHICH IS SKY.
1585-FQ/1725:034(062) SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE COLOURS OF THE RAINBOW, WE HAVE A C
LEAR IDEA OF THE RED, THE BLUE, THE GREEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR SEVERAL ARCHES,
 AND A DISTINCT IDEA TOO, WHILE THE EYE FIXES THERE; BUT WHEN WE CONSIDER THE BO
RDER OF THOSE COLOURS, THEY SO RUN INTO ONE ANOTHER THAT IT RENDERS THEIR IDEAS
CONFUSED AND OBSCURE.
1586-FQ/1725:035(036) SO THE IDEA WHICH WE HAVE OF OUR BROTHER, OR OUR FRIEND, W
HOM WE SEE DAILY, IS CLEAR AND DISTINCT; BUT WHEN THE ABSENCE OF MANY YEARS HAS
INJURED THE IDEA, IT BECOMES OBSCURE AND CONFUSED.
1587-FQ/1725:036(023) NOTE HERE, THAT SOME OF OUR IDEAS MAY BE VERY CLEAR AND DI
STINCT IN ONE RESPECT, AND VERY OBSCURE AND CONFUSED IN ANOTHER.
1588-FQ/1725:037(080) SO WHEN WE SPEAK OF A CHILIAGONUM, OR A FIGURE OF A THOUSA
ND ANGLES, WE MAY HAVE A CLEAR AND DISTINCT RATIONAL IDEA OF THE NUMBER ONE THOU
SAND ANGLES; FOR WE CAN DEMONSTRATE VARIOUS PROPERTIES CONCERNING IT BY REASON:
BUT THE IMAGE, OR SENSIBLE IDEA, WHICH WE HAVE OF THE FIGURE, IS BUT CONFUSED AN
D OBSCURE; FOR WE CANNOT PRECISELY DISTINGUISH IT BY FANCY FROM THE IMAGE OF A F
IGURE THAT HAS NINE HUNDRED ANGLES, OR NINE HUNDRED AND NINETY.
1589-FQ/1725:038(076) SO WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE INFINITE DIVISIBILITY OF MATTER, W
E ALWAYS KEEP IN OUR MINDS A VERY CLEAR AND DISTINCT IDEA OF DIVISION AND DIVISI
BILITY; BUT AFTER WE HAVE MADE A LITTLE PROGRESS IN DIVIDING, AND COME TO PARTS
THAT ARE FAR TOO SMALL FOR THE REACH OF OUR SENSES, THEN OUR IDEAS OR SENSIBLE I
MAGES OF THESE LITTLE BODIES, BECOME OBSCURE AND INDISTINCT, AND THE IDEA OF INF
INITE IS VERY OBSCURE, IMPERFECT, AND CONFUSED.
1590-FQ/1725:039(006) IDEAS ARE EITHER VULGAR OR LEARNED.
1591-FQ/1725:040(036) A VULGAR IDEA REPRESENTS TO US THE MOST OBVIOUS AND SENSIB
LE APPEARANCES THAT ARE CONTAINED IN THE OBJECT OF THEM; BUT A LEARNED IDEA PENE
TRATES FARTHER INTO THE NATURE, PROPERTIES, REASONS, CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF THING
S.
1592-FQ/1725:041(007) THIS IS BEST ILLUSTRATED BY SOME EXAMPLES.
1593-FQ/1725:042(056) IT IS A VULGAR IDEA THAT WE HAVE OF A RAINBOW, WHEN WE CON
CEIVE A LARGE ARCH IN THE CLOUDS, MADE UP OF VARIOUS COLOURS PARALLEL TO EACH OT
HER: BUT IT IS A LEARNED IDEA WHICH A PHILOSOPHER HAS, WHEN HE CONSIDERS IT AS T
HE VARIOUS REFLECTIONS AND REFRACTIONS OF SUN=BEAMS, IN DROPS OF FALLING RAIN.
1594-FQ/1725:043(095) SO IT IS A VULGAR IDEA WHICH WE HAVE OF THE COLOURS OF SOL
ID BODIES, WHEN WE PERCEIVE THEM TO BE, AS IT WERE, A RED, OR BLUE, OR GREEN TIN
CTURE OF THE SURFACE OF THOSE BODIES: BUT IT IS A PHILOSOPHICAL IDEA WHEN WE CON
SIDER THE VARIOUS COLOURS TO BE NOTHING ELSE BUT DIFFERENT SENSATIONS EXCITED IN
 US BY THE VARIOUSLY REFRACTED RAYS OF LIGHT, REFLECTED ON OUR EYES IN A DIFFERE
NT MANNER, ACCORDING TO THE DIFFERENT SIZE, OR SHAPE, OR SITUATION OF THE PARTIC
LES OF WHICH THE SURFACES OF THOSE BODIES ARE COMPOSED.
1595-FQ/1725:044(091) IT IS A VULGAR IDEA WHICH WE HAVE OF A WATCH OR CLOCK, WHE
N WE CONCEIVE OF IT AS A PRETTY INSTRUMENT, MADE TO SHEW US THE HOUR OF THE DAY:
 BUT IT IS A LEARNED IDEA WHICH THE WATCHMAKER HAS OF IT, WHO KNOWS ALL THE SEVE
RAL PARTS OF IT, THE SPRING, THE BALANCE, THE CHAIN, THE WHEELS, THEIR AXLES, ET
C TOGETHER WITH THE VARIOUS CONNECTIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS OF EACH PART, WHENCE THE
 EXACT AND UNIFORM MOTION OF THE INDEX IS DERIVED, WHICH POINTS TO THE MINUTE OR
 THE HOUR.
1596-FQ/1725:045(090) SO WHEN A COMMON UNDERSTANDING READS $VIRGIL'S "$AENEID",
HE HAS BUT A VULGAR IDEA OF THAT POEM, YET HIS MIND IS NATURALLY ENTERTAINED WIT
H THE STORY, AND HIS EARS WITH THE VERSE: BUT WHEN A CRITICK, OR A MAN WHO HAS S
KILL IN POESY, READS IT, HE HAS A LEARNED IDEA OF ITS PECULIAR BEAUTIES, HE TAST
ES AND RELISHES A SUPERIOR PLEASURE; HE ADMIRES THE $ROMAN POET, AND WISHES HE H
AD KNOWN THE $CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY, WHICH WOULD HAVE FURNISHED HIM WITH NOBLER MAT
ERIALS AND MACHINES THAN ALL THE HEATHEN IDOLS.
1597-FQ/1725:046(071) IT IS WITH A VULGAR IDEA THAT THE WORLD BEHOLDS THE CARTOO
NS OF $RAPHAEL AT $HAMPTON=COURT, AND EVERY ONE FEELS HIS SHARE OF PLEASURE AND
ENTERTAINMENT: BUT A PAINTER CONTEMPLATES THE WONDERS OF THAT $ITALIAN PENCIL, A
ND SEES A THOUSAND BEAUTIES IN THEM WHICH THE VULGAR EYE NEGLECTED: HIS LEARNED
IDEAS GIVE HIM A TRANSCENDENT DELIGHT, AND YET, AT THE SAME TIME, DISCOVER THE B
LEMISHES WHICH THE COMMON GAZER NEVER OBSERVED.
1598-FQ/1725:047(031) OUR IDEAS ARE EITHER TRUE OR FALSE; FOR AN IDEA BEING THE
REPRESENTATION OF A THING IN THE MIND, IT MUST BE EITHER A TRUE OR A FALSE REPRE
SENTATION OF IT.
1599-FQ/1725:048(024) IF THE IDEA BE CONFORMABLE TO THE OBJECT OR ARCHETYPE OF I
T, IT IS A TRUE IDEA; IF NOT, IT IS A FALSE ONE.
1600-FQ/1725:049(014) SOMETIMES OUR IDEAS ARE REFERRED TO THINGS REALLY EXISTING
 WITHOUT US, AS THEIR ARCHETYPES.
1601-FQ/1725:050(031) IF I SEE BODIES IN THEIR PROPER COLOURS, I HAVE A TRUE IDE
A: BUT WHEN A MAN UNDER THE JAUNDICE SEES ALL BODIES YELLOW, HE HAS A FALSE IDEA
 OF THEM.
1602-FQ/1725:051(046) SO IF WE SEE THE SUN OR MOON RISING OR SETTING, OUR IDEA R
EPRESENTS THEM BIGGER THAN WHEN THEY ARE ON THE MERIDIAN: AND IN THIS SENSE IT I
S A FALSE IDEA, BECAUSE THOSE HEAVENLY BODIES ARE ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT OF THE S
AME BIGNESS.
1603-FQ/1725:052(027) OR WHEN I SEE A STRAIT STAFF APPEAR CROOKED WHILE IT IS HA
LF UNDER THE WATER, I SAY, THE WATER GIVES ME A FALSE IDEA OF IT.
1604-FQ/1725:053(135) SOMETIMES OUR IDEAS REFER TO THE IDEAS OF OTHER MEN, DENOT
ED BY SUCH A PARTICULAR WORD, AS THEIR ARCHETYPES: SO WHEN I HEAR A $PROTESTANT
USE THE WORDS CHURCH AND SACRAMENTS, IF I UNDERSTAND BY THESE WORDS A CONGREGATI
ON OF FAITHFUL MEN WHO PROFESS $CHRISTIANITY, AND THE TWO ORDINANCES, BAPTISM AN
D THE $LORD'S SUPPER, I HAVE A TRUE IDEA OF THOSE WORDS IN THE COMMON SENSE OF $
PROTESTANTS: BUT IF THE MAN WHO SPEAKS OF THEM BE A PAPIST, HE MEANS THE CHURCH
OF $ROME AND THE SEVEN SACRAMENTS, AND THEN I HAVE A MISTAKEN IDEA OF THOSE WORD
S, AS SPOKEN BY HIM, FOR HE HAS A DIFFERENT SENSE AND MEANING: AND IN GENERAL, W
HENSOEVER I MISTAKE THE SENSE OF ANY SPEAKER OR WRITER, I MAY BE SAID TO HAVE A
FALSE IDEA OF IT.
1605-FQ/1725:054(074) SOME THINK THAT TRUTH OR FALSHOOD PROPERLY BELONGS ONLY TO
 PROPOSITIONS, WHICH SHALL BE THE SUBJECT OF DISCOURSE IN THE SECOND PART OF "LO
GICK"; FOR IF WE CONSIDER IDEAS AS MERE IMPRESSIONS UPON THE MIND, MADE BY OUTWA
RD OBJECTS, THOSE IMPRESSIONS WILL EVER BE CONFORMABLE TO THE LAWS OF NATURE IN
SUCH A CASE: THE WATER WILL MAKE A STICK APPEAR CROOKED, AND THE HORIZONTAL AIR
WILL MAKE THE SUN AND MOON APPEAR BIGGER.
1606-FQ/1725:055(023) AND GENERALLY WHERE THERE IS FALSHOOD IN IDEAS, THERE SEEM
S TO BE SOME SECRET OR LATENT PROPOSITION, WHEREBY WE JUDGE FALSLY OF THINGS.
1607-FQ/1725:056(033) THIS IS MORE OBVIOUS WHERE WE TAKE UP THE WORDS OF A WRITE
R OR SPEAKER IN A MISTAKEN SENSE, FOR WE JOIN HIS WORDS TO OUR OWN IDEAS, WHICH
ARE DIFFERENT FROM HIS.
1608-FQ/1725:057(032) BUT AFTER ALL, SINCE IDEAS ARE PICTURES OF THINGS, IT CAN
NEVER BE VERY IMPROPER TO PRONOUNCE THEM TO BE TRUE OR FALSE, ACCORDING TO THEIR
 CONFORMITY OR NONCONFORMITY TO THEIR EXEMPLARS.
1609-FQ/1725:058(058) THOUGH OUR IDEAS ARE FIRST ACQUIRED BY THE PERCEPTION OF O
BJECTS, OR BY VARIOUS SENSATIONS AND REFLECTIONS, YET WE CONVEY THEM TO EACH OTH
ER BY THE MEANS OF CERTAIN SOUNDS, OR WRITTEN MARKS, WHICH WE CALL WORDS; AND A
GREAT PART OF OUR KNOWLEDGE IS BOTH OBTAINED AND COMMUNICATED BY THESE MEANS, WH
ICH ARE CALLED SPEECH OR LANGUAGE.
1610-FQ/1725:059(029) BUT AS WE ARE LED INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS BY WORDS, S
O WE ARE OFTENTIMES LED INTO ERROR OR MISTAKE BY THE USE OR ABUSE OF WORDS ALSO.

1611-FQ/1725:060(029) AND IN ORDER TO GUARD AGAINST SUCH MISTAKES, AS WELL AS TO
 PROMOTE OUR IMPROVEMENT IN KNOWLEDGE, IT IS NECESSARY TO ACQUAINT OURSELVES A L
ITTLE WITH WORDS AND TERMS.
1612-FQ/1725:061(006) WE SHALL BEGIN WITH THESE OBSERVATIONS.
1613-FQ/1725:062(029) WORDS (WHETHER THEY ARE SPOKEN OR WRITTEN) HAVE NO NATURAL
 CONNECTION WITH THE IDEAS THEY ARE DESIGNED TO SIGNIFY, NOR WITH THE THINGS WHI
CH ARE REPRESENTED IN THOSE IDEAS.
1614-FQ/1725:063(047) THERE IS NO MANNER OF AFFINITY BETWEEN THE SOUNDS WHITE IN
 $ENGLISH, OR <BLANC> IN $FRENCH, AND THAT COLOUR WHICH WE CALL BY THAT NAME; NO
R HAVE THE LETTERS, OF WHICH THESE WORDS ARE COMPOSED, ANY NATURAL APTNESS TO SI
GNIFY THAT COLOUR RATHER THAN RED OR GREEN.
1615-FQ/1725:064(020) WORDS AND NAMES THEREFORE ARE MERE ARBITRARY SIGNS, INVENT
ED BY MEN TO COMMUNICATE THEIR THOUGHTS OR IDEAS TO ONE ANOTHER.
1616-FQ/1725:065(032) IF ONE SINGLE WORD WERE APPOINTED TO EXPRESS BUT ONE SIMPL
E IDEA, AND NOTHING ELSE, AS WHITE, BLACK, SWEET, SOUR, SHARP, BITTER, EXTENSION
, DURATION, THERE WOULD BE SCARCE ANY MISTAKE ABOUT THEM.
1617-FQ/1725:066(002) BUT ALAS.
1618-FQ/1725:067(055) IT IS A COMMON UNHAPPINESS IN LANGUAGE, THAT DIFFERENT SIM
PLE IDEAS ARE SOMETIMES EXPRESSED BY THE SAME WORDS; SO THE WORDS SWEET AND SHAR
P ARE APPLIED BOTH TO THE OBJECTS OF HEARING AND TASTING, AS WE SHALL SEE HEREAF
TER; AND THIS, PERHAPS, MAY BE ONE CAUSE OR FOUNDATION OF OBSCURITY AND ERROR AR
ISING FROM WORDS.
1619-FQ/1725:068(059) IN COMMUNICATING OUR COMPLEX IDEAS TO ONE ANOTHER, IF WE C
OULD JOIN AS MANY PECULIAR AND APPROPRIATED WORDS TOGETHER IN ONE SOUND, AS WE J
OIN SIMPLE IDEAS TO MAKE ONE COMPLEX ONE, WE SHOULD SELDOM BE IN DANGER OF MISTA
KING: WHEN I EXPRESS THE TASTE OF AN APPLE, WHICH WE CALL THE BITTER=SWEET, NONE
 CAN MISTAKE WHAT I MEAN.
1620-FQ/1725:069(064) YET THIS SORT OF COMPOSITION WOULD MAKE ALL LANGUAGE A MOS
T TEDIOUS AND UNWIELDY THING, SINCE MOST OF OUR IDEAS ARE COMPLEX, AND MANY OF T
HEM HAVE EIGHT OR TEN SIMPLE IDEAS IN THEM; SO THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE WORSE TH
AN THE DISEASE; FOR WHAT IS NOW EXPRESSED IN ONE SHORT WORD, AS MONTH, OR YEAR,
WOULD REQUIRE TWO LINES TO EXPRESS IT.
1621-FQ/1725:070(021) IT IS NECESSARY, THEREFORE, THAT SINGLE WORDS BE INVENTED
TO EXPRESS COMPLEX IDEAS, IN ORDER TO MAKE LANGUAGE SHORT AND USEFUL.
1622-FQ/1725:071(053) BUT HERE IS OUR GREAT INFELICITY, THAT WHEN SINGLE WORDS S
IGNIFY COMPLEX IDEAS, ONE WORD CAN NEVER DISTINCTLY MANIFEST ALL THE PARTS OF A
COMPLEX IDEA; AND THEREBY IT WILL OFTEN HAPPEN, THAT ONE MAN INCLUDES MORE OR LE
SS IN HIS IDEA, THAN ANOTHER DOES, WHILE HE AFFIXES THE SAME WORD TO IT.
1623-FQ/1725:072(025) IN THIS CASE THERE WILL BE DANGER OF MISTAKE BETWEEN THEM,
 FOR THEY DO NOT MEAN THE SAME OBJECT, THOUGH THEY USE THE SAME NAME.
1624-FQ/1725:073(074) SO IF ONE PERSON OR NATION, BY THE WORD YEAR, MEANS TWELVE
 MONTHS OF THIRTY DAYS EACH, THAT IS, THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY DAYS, ANOTHER INTE
NDS A SOLAR YEAR OF THREE HUNDRED SIXTY=FIVE DAYS, AND A THIRD MEANS A LUNAR YEA
R, OR TWELVE LUNAR MONTHS, THAT IS, THREE HUNDRED FIFTY=FOUR DAYS, THERE WILL BE
 A GREAT VARIATION AND ERROR IN THEIR ACCOUNT OF THINGS, UNLESS THEY ARE WELL AP
PRIZED OF EACH OTHER'S MEANING BEFOREHAND.
1625-FQ/1725:074(023) THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE REASON, WHY SOME ANCIENT HISTOR
IES, AND PROPHECIES, AND ACCOUNTS OF CHRONOLOGY, ARE SO HARD TO BE ADJUSTED.
1626-FQ/1725:075(061) AND THIS IS THE TRUE REASON OF SO FURIOUS AND ENDLESS DEBA
TES ON MANY POINTS IN DIVINITY; THE WORDS CHURCH, WORSHIP, IDOLATRY, REPENTANCE,
 FAITH, ELECTION, MERIT, GRACE, AND MANY OTHERS WHICH SIGNIFY VERY COMPLEX IDEAS
, ARE NOT APPLIED TO INCLUDE JUST THE SAME SIMPLE IDEAS, AND THE SAME NUMBER OF
THEM, BY THE VARIOUS CONTENDING PARTIES; THENCE ARISE CONFUSION AND CONTEST.
1627-FQ/1725:076(069) THOUGH A SINGLE NAME DOES NOT CERTAINLY MANIFEST TO US ALL
 THE PARTS OF A COMPLEX IDEA, YET IT MUST BE ACKNOWLEDGED, THAT IN MANY OF OUR C
OMPLEX IDEAS, THE SINGLE NAME MAY POINT OUT TO US SOME CHIEF PROPERTY WHICH BELO
NGS TO THE THING THAT THE WORD SIGNIFIES; ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WORD OR NAME IS TR
ACED UP TO ITS ORIGINAL, THROUGH SEVERAL LANGUAGES FROM WHENCE IT IS BORROWED.
1628-FQ/1725:077(009) SO AN APOSTLE SIGNIFIES ONE WHO IS SENT FORTH.
1629-FQ/1725:078(049) BUT THIS TRACING OF A WORD TO ITS ORIGINAL, (WHICH IS CALL
ED ETYMOLOGY) IS SOMETIMES A VERY PRECARIOUS AND UNCERTAIN THING: AND AFTER ALL,
 WE HAVE MADE BUT LITTLE PROGRESS TOWARDS THE ATTAINMENT OF THE FULL MEANING OF
A COMPLEX IDEA, BY KNOWING SOME ONE CHIEF PROPERTY OF IT.
1630-FQ/1725:079(020) WE KNOW BUT A SMALL PART OF THE NOTION OF AN APOSTLE, BY K
NOWING BARELY THAT HE IS SENT FORTH.
1631-FQ/1725:080(034) MANY (IF NOT MOST) OF OUR WORDS WHICH ARE APPLIED TO MORAL
 AND INTELLECTUAL IDEAS, WHEN TRACED UP TO THEIR ORIGINAL IN THE LEARNED LANGUAG
ES, WILL BE FOUND TO SIGNIFY SENSIBLE AND CORPOREAL THINGS.
1632-FQ/1725:081(022) THUS THE WORDS APPREHENSION, UNDERSTANDING, ABSTRACTION, I
NVENTION, IDEA, INFERENCE, PRUDENCE, RELIGION, CHURCH, ADORATION, ETC HAVE ALL A
 CORPOREAL SIGNIFICATION IN THEIR ORIGINAL.
1633-FQ/1725:082(039) THE NAME SPIRIT ITSELF SIGNIFIES BREATH OR AIR, IN $LATIN,
 $GREEK, AND $HEBREW: SUCH IS THE POVERTY OF ALL LANGUAGES, THEY ARE FORCED TO U
SE THESE NAMES FOR INCORPOREAL IDEAS, WHICH THING HAS A TENDENCY TO ERROR AND CO
NFUSION.
1634-FQ/1725:083(059) THE LAST THING I SHALL MENTION THAT LEADS US INTO MANY A M
ISTAKE IS, THE MULTITUDE OF OBJECTS THAT ONE NAME SOMETIMES SIGNIFIES: THERE IS
ALMOST AN INFINITE VARIETY OF THINGS AND IDEAS BOTH SIMPLE AND COMPLEX, BEYOND A
LL THE WORDS THAT ARE INVENTED IN ANY LANGUAGE; THENCE IT BECOMES ALMOST NECESSA
RY THAT ONE NAME SHOULD SIGNIFY SEVERAL THINGS.
1635-FQ/1725:084(063) LET US BUT CONSIDER THE TWO COLOURS OF YELLOW AND BLUE, IF
 THEY ARE MINGLED TOGETHER IN ANY CONSIDERABLE PROPORTION THEY MAKE A GREEN: NOW
 THERE MAY BE INFINITE DIFFERENCES OF THE PROPORTIONS IN THE MIXTURE OF YELLOW A
ND BLUE; AND YET WE HAVE ONLY THESE THREE WORDS, YELLOW, BLUE AND GREEN, TO SIGN
IFY ALL OF THEM, AT LEAST BY ONE SINGLE TERM.
1636-FQ/1725:085(059) WHEN I USE THE WORD SHORE, I MAY INTEND THEREBY A COAST OF
 LAND NEAR THE SEA, OR A DRAIN TO CARRY OFF WATER, OR A PROP TO SUPPORT A BUILDI
NG; AND BY THE SOUND OF THE WORD PORTER, WHO CAN TELL WHETHER I MEAN A MAN WHO B
EARS BURDENS, OR A SERVANT WHO WAITS AT A NOBLEMAN'S GATE?
1637-FQ/1725:086(050) THE WORLD IS FRUITFUL IN THE INVENTION OF UTENSILS OF LIFE
, AND NEW CHARACTERS AND OFFICES OF MEN, YET NAMES ENTIRELY NEW ARE SELDOM INVEN
TED; THEREFORE OLD NAMES ARE ALMOST NECESSARILY USED TO SIGNIFY NEW THINGS, WHIC
H MAY OCCASION MUCH CONFUSION AND ERROR IN THE RECEIVING AND COMMUNICATING OF KN
OWLEDGE.
1638-FQ/1725:087(016) GIVE ME LEAVE TO PROPOSE ONE SINGLE INSTANCE, WHEREIN ALL
THESE NOTES SHALL BE REMARKABLY EXEMPLIFIED.
1639-FQ/1725:088(019) IT IS THE WORD BISHOP, WHICH IN $FRENCH IS CALLED <EVEQUE>
; UPON WHICH I WOULD MAKE THESE SEVERAL OBSERVATIONS.
1640-FQ/1725:089(070) THAT THERE IS NO NATURAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE SACRED OFF
ICE HEREBY SIGNIFIED, AND THE LETTERS OR SOUND WHICH SIGNIFY THIS OFFICE; FOR BO
TH THESE WORDS, <EVEQUE> AND BISHOP, SIGNIFY THE SAME OFFICE, THOUGH THERE IS NO
T ONE LETTER ALIKE IN THEM; NOR HAVE THE LETTERS WHICH COMPOSE THE $ENGLISH OR T
HE $FRENCH WORD ANY THING SACRED BELONGING TO THEM, MORE THAN THE LETTERS THAT C
OMPOSE THE WORDS KING OR SOLDIER.
1641-FQ/1725:090(045) IF THE MEANING OF A WORD COULD BE LEARNED BY ITS DERIVATIO
N OR ETYMOLOGY, YET THE ORIGINAL DERIVATION OF WORDS IS OFTENTIMES VERY DARK AND
 UNSEARCHABLE; FOR WHO WOULD IMAGINE THAT EACH OF THESE WORDS ARE DERIVED FROM T
HE $LATIN <EPISCOPUS>, OR THE $GREEK <EPISKOPOS>.
1642-FQ/1725:091(038) YET IN THIS INSTANCE WE HAPPEN TO KNOW CERTAINLY THE TRUE
DERIVATION; THE $FRENCH BEING ANTIENTLY WRIT <EVESQUE>, IS BORROWED FROM THE FIR
ST PART OF THE $LATIN WORD; AND THE OLD $ENGLISH <BISCOP> FROM THE MIDDLE OF IT.

1643-FQ/1725:092(062) THE ORIGINAL $GREEK WORD SIGNIFIES AN OVERLOOKER, OR ONE W
HO STANDS HIGHER THAN HIS FELLOWS, AND OVERLOOKS THEM: IT IS A COMPOUND WORD, TH
AT PRIMARILY SIGNIFIES SENSIBLE IDEAS, TRANSLATED TO SIGNIFY OR INCLUDE SEVERAL
MORAL OR INTELLECTUAL IDEAS; THEREFORE ALL WILL GRANT, THAT THE NATURE OF THE OF
FICE CAN NEVER BE KNOWN BY THE MERE SOUND OR SENSE OF THE WORD OVERLOOKER.
1644-FQ/1725:093(048) I ADD FARTHER, THE WORD BISHOP OR <EPISCOPUS>, EVEN WHEN I
T IS THUS TRANSLATED FROM A SENSIBLE IDEA, TO INCLUDE SEVERAL INTELLECTUAL IDEAS
, MAY YET EQUALLY SIGNIFY AN OVERSEER OF THE POOR; AN INSPECTOR OF THE CUSTOMS;
A SURVEYOR OF THE HIGHWAYS; A SUPERVISOR OF THE EXCISE, ETC.
1645-FQ/1725:094(022) BUT BY THE CONSENT OF MEN, AND THE LANGUAGE OF SCRIPTURE,
IT IS APPROPRIATED TO SIGNIFY A SACRED OFFICE IN THE CHURCH.
1646-FQ/1725:095(054) THIS VERY IDEA AND NAME, THUS TRANSLATED FROM THINGS SENSI
BLE, TO SIGNIFY A SPIRITUAL AND SACRED THING, CONTAINS BUT ONE PROPERTY OF IT, N
AMELY, ONE THAT HAS THE OVERSIGHT, OR CARE OVER OTHERS: BUT DOES NOT TELL US WHE
THER IT INCLUDES A CARE OVER ONE CHURCH OR MANY; OVER THE LAITY, OR THE CLERGY.

1647-FQ/1725:096(053) THENCE IT FOLLOWS, THAT THOSE WHO IN THE COMPLEX IDEA OF T
HE WORD BISHOP INCLUDE AN OVERSIGHT OVER THE CLERGY, OR OVER A WHOLE DIOCESE OF
PEOPLE, A SUPERIORITY TO PRESBYTERS, A DISTINCT POWER OF ORDINATION, ETC MUST NE
CESSARILY DISAGREE WITH THOSE WHO INCLUDE IN IT ONLY THE CARE OF A SINGLE CONGRE
GATION.
1648-FQ/1725:097(033) THUS ACCORDING TO THE VARIOUS OPINIONS OF MEN THIS WORD SI
GNIFIES A POPE, A $GALLICAN BISHOP, A $LUTHERAN SUPERINTENDENT, AN $ENGLISH PREL
ATE, A PASTOR OF A SINGLE ASSEMBLY, OR A PRESBYTER OR ELDER.
1649-FQ/1725:098(036) THUS THEY QUARREL WITH EACH OTHER PERPETUALLY; AND IT IS W
ELL IF ANY OF THEM ALL HAVE HIT PRECISELY THE SENSE OF THE SACRED WRITERS, AND I
NCLUDED JUST THE SAME IDEAS IN IT, AND NO OTHERS.
1650-FQ/1725:099(080) I MIGHT MAKE ALL THE SAME REMARKS ON THE WORD CHURCH OR KI
RK, WHICH IS DERIVED FROM <KURIA OIKOIS>, OR THE HOUSE OF THE $LORD, CONTRACTED
INTO <KYRIOICK>, WHICH SOME SUPPOSE TO SIGNIFY AN ASSEMBLY OF $CHRISTIANS, SOME
TAKE IT FOR ALL THE WORLD THAT PROFESS $CHRISTIANITY, AND SOME MAKE IT TO MEAN O
NLY THE CLERGY; AND ON THESE ACCOUNTS IT HAS BEEN THE OCCASION OF AS MANY AND AS
 FURIOUS CONTROVERSIES AS THE WORD BISHOP WHICH WAS MENTIONED BEFORE.
