EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.
EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).
The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.
Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.
Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.
Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.
The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.
Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

THE
PREFACE
to
the
READER
.
THE
following
Sheets
containing
an
Answer
to
Dr.
Goodall's
Letter
;
and
also
an
Answer
to
a
Sheet
of
Paper
writ
by
Dr.
Leigh
;
I
think
my self
bound
to
make
an
Apology
to
the
World
upon
a
double
Score
:
And
first
,
for
what
I
have
said
in
Answer
to
Dr.
Goodall's
Letter
.
And
upon
this
Account
,
all
that
I
need
to
say
is
,
that
had
the
Doctor
not
suffered
his
Letter
to
be
Printed
,
I
had
not
Writ
or
Published
what
I
have
;
but
since
he
began
first
,
he
I
hope
,
or
at
least
the
World
will
pardon
me
,
for
Relating
Matter
of
Fact
so
plainly
,
that
they
might
judge
of
the
Sincerity
and
Truth
of
his
Letter
.
But
perhaps
there
are
some
,
and
I
hope
a
great
many
,
that
will
be
unapt
to
believe
the
Grounds
of
the
following
Relation
true
;
I
say
,
I
hope
they
will
be
unapt
to
believe
it
;
because
I
would
not
wish
them
to
have
the
same
Reasons
to
change
their
Thoughts
of
him
as
I
have
;
and
that
I
have
fufficient
Reason
to
think
the
Character
I
once
gave
him
,
rather
what
I
could
have
wished
him
to
be
,
than
what
he
is
.
I
conceive
the
following
Certificates
,
together
with
his
own
Letter
,
will
be
self-evident
Arguments
;
I
have
the
Copy
of
his
Letter
writ
by
his
own
Hand
,
and
the
Certificate
signed
and
witnessed
by
the
Persons
whose
Names
are
Subscribed
;
so
that
if
any
Body
should
question
the
Truth
,
they
shall
be
convinced
with
those
Papers
.
As
for
Dr.
Leigh
,
all
the
Apology
I
need
to
make
is
,
That
I
beg
their
Pardon
for
taking
Notice
of
his
Libels
,
since
Envy
and
Malice
needs
no
other
Answer
but
Cantempt
:
And
if
the
Doctor
takes
such
a
delight
in
writing
Penny
and
Two-penny
Books
,
he
may
look
out
for
some
other
Adversary
,
that
thinks
it
worth
his
while
to
hearken
to
him
:
I
for
my
Part
,
shall
entertain
the
same
Opinion
of
him
as
the
World
does
,
viz.
That
his
Remarks
are
his
true
and
real
Representatives
.
And
here
I
shall
let
the
World
know
,
that
I
take
so
little
delight
in
opposing
such
Adversaries
,
that
for
the
future
(
except
I
have
great
Reason
for
it
)
I
shall
leave
such
as
have
not
the
use
of
their
Reason
to
confute
themselves
;
and
shall
rather
spend
my
time
in
making
what
Improvements
I
can
in
the
Profession
I
have
made
choice
of
:
And
as
Truth
and
Reason
shall
always
be
the
Rules
by
which
I
shall
write
so
far
as
I
can
,
so
if
I
think
my self
upon
that
Score
concern'd
to
oppose
any
one
that
may
be
mistaken
,
I
shall
shew
that
respect
which
is
due
both
to
their
Learning
and
Characters
;
but
if
on
the
contrary
,
their
Ignorance
and
Contempt
of
Learned
Men
,
deserves
ill
Usage
,
I
shall
leave
it
to
some
body
else
to
gave
them
their
Merit
,
who
shall
not
think
it
time
mispent
to
answer
them
.
I
shall
conclude
this
Epistle
with
this
Advertisement
,
viz.
That
whereas
a
Party
of
Men
have
imagined
,
that
by
Vindicating
the
Colledge
,
I
opposed
them
;
I
profess
,
that
by
the
Colledge
,
I
meant
no
separate
Party
,
but
all
such
Members
which
had
not
adopted
that
Doctrine
which
I
writ
against
;
and
except
they
include
themselves
in
that
Number
,
I
shall
declare
that
no
Party
shall
engage
me
further
than
Truth
and
Reason
,
either
for
or
against
any
Body
;
and
what
is
the
Product
of
that
small
share
I
have
of
either
,
I
shall
always
submit
to
the
Candid
Censure
of
the
Learned
;
to
whom
I
subscribe

AN
ANSWER
TO
Dr.
Goodall's
Letter
,
Dated
Decemb.
6th
,
1698.
in
a
Letter
to
Himself
.
SIR
,
I
Must
confess
,
it
was
not
without
a
little
Concern
and
Surprize
,
that
I
found
a
Letter
against
me
with
Doctor
Goodall's
Name
to
it
:
I
once
thought
,
and
had
I
not
evident
Reason
to
the
contrary
,
I
should
think
still
,
that
Doctor
Goodall
was
a
Man
of
more
Courage
and
Honour
,
(
as
well
as
Justice
,
than
to
desert
a
Cause
he
had
once
engaged
himself
in
;
of
more
Courage
and
Honour
)
I
say
;
because
it
is
an
Argument
against
both
,
to
turn
your
Back
upon
what
you
thought
Just
;
and
of
more
Justice
,
because
it
would
be
unjust
to
engage
your self
in
Encouraging
or
Patronizing
that
,
which
in
your
Opinion
was
not
Approved
.
And
give
me
leave
to
say
,
this
Letter
which
Dr.
Leigh
hath
Printed
,
will
,
I
am
afraid
,
call
in
Question
your
Judgment
,
as
well
as
Honour
and
Justice
;
for
if
in
your
Judgment
you
thought
my
Book
was
faulty
,
why
did
you
Patronize
it
with
such
Zeal
?
If
the
contrary
,
why
should
you
not
have
the
same
Opinion
now
as
before
?
At
least
,
Doctor
,
it
had
been
better
to
have
been
Silent
,
and
much
more
Prudent
,
than
to
force
me
to
prove
,
what
in
your
Letter
you
deny
.
It
is
a
thing
I
confess
I
am
very
loth
to
do
,
and
would
not
,
did
I
not
think
my
Reputation
concern'd
in
it
:
For
I
am
yet
ready
to
acknowledge
,
that
I
not
long
since
,
thought
my self
very
much
obliged
to
you
;
and
as
Favours
received
from
any
one
,
shall
with
me
be
perpetual
Obligations
of
Respect
to
them
that
bestowed
them
on
me
;
so
I
would
be
unwilling
to
do
any
thing
which
should
look
like
Ingratitude
to
you
:
For
I
must
beg
leave
to
say
,
that
with
me
,
Ties
of
Friendship
shall
be
held
inviolable
,
if
it
lies
in
my
Power
;
and
Obligations
I
shall
ever
hold
as
Sacred
.
But
as
the
Case
now
stands
,
the
greatest
Respect
I
can
shew
you
,
is
to
prove
the
Contents
of
your
Letter
in
respect
of
your
Reflections
false
,
without
that
Severity
which
your
Usage
of
me
really
deserves
;
for
whatever
you
may
think
,
I
am
bold
to
say
,
that
I
shall
make
it
appear
that
your
last
Obligations
and
Favours
have
made
your
former
of
very
little
value
.
Therefore
to
justify
my self
,
and
to
do
you
no
wrong
,
I
shall
answer
your
Letter
in
the
same
Method
you
have
writ
it
;
first
returning
you
thanks
for
the
good
Character
you
are
pleased
to
give
of
my
other
Books
.
The
First
Words
which
concern
me
are
these
;
I
—
own
your
Writing
to
me
about
Mr.
Boulton
'
s
Book
,
as
a
Particular
Favour
,
he
having
by
no
means
obliged
me
by
his
Rude
and
Unmannerly
Reflections
upon
you
;
who
I
am
sensible
are
not
therein
treated
like
a
Gentleman
or
a
Scholar
.
The
Language
and
Reflections
I
own
to
be
such
,
as
no
Man
of
good
Breeding
,
much
less
any
Censor
of
the
College
of
Physitians
would
pass
with
an
Imprimatur
.
To
this
,
Doctor
,
I
must
answer
,
That
as
for
an
Imprimatur
to
such
a
thing
as
that
,
I
never
desired
it
,
for
there
was
no
need
of
it
,
it
being
an
Answer
to
such
Ridiculous
Reflections
on
me
,
as
you
were
pleased
to
say
at
your
own
Table
,
were
the
Rudest
and
most
Malicious
that
ever
you
saw
in
your
Life
,
and
that
you
thought
that
no
Doctor
in
Physick
could
write
such
Stuff
:
This
was
your
Opinion
of
Dr.
Leigh's
Remarks
;
and
as
for
my
Answer
to
them
,
I
will
certify
any
Body
upon
Oath
,
that
you
Read
the
greatest
part
of
them
whilst
I
sat
by
you
,
and
that
when
you
were
weary
,
I
read
the
remaining
part
to
you
;
and
that
you
were
so
far
from
finding
Fault
,
that
you
smiled
almost
all
the
while
;
and
not
long
after
gave
your
favourable
Opinion
of
them
to
a
Learned
Man
of
Merton
Colledge
in
Oxford
;
this
I
affirm
to
be
true
,
with
as
much
Solemnity
,
as
if
I
were
to
say
it
upon
Oath
.
But
supposing
you
had
neither
approved
nor
disapproved
the
thing
,
I
leave
the
World
to
judge
,
whether
you
have
not
much
more
reason
to
reflect
on
Dr.
Leigh
than
me
,
he
having
reflected
on
me
,
who
never
was
in
the
least
acquainted
with
him
,
and
consequently
could
not
possibly
disoblige
him
;
and
as
for
me
,
I
have
only
turned
his
own
Dirt
upon
him
again
.
The
next
Words
I
shall
take
notice
of
in
your
Letter
,
are
these
,
As
to
his
writing
against
Mr.
Colbatch
,
I
must
own
that
did
encourage
him
thereto
,
he
having
so
rudely
treated
the
Universities
,
Colledge
of
Physitians
,
and
the
most
Learned
Men
of
our
Faculty
,
and
likewise
Published
and
Defended
such
an
Erroneous
Hypothesis
,
and
raised
such
a
Dangerous
Superstructure
thereon
,
as
I
fear
will
prove
fatal
to
many
.
—
Yet
notwithstanding
Mr.
Colbatch
hath
deserved
Ill
of
Learned
Men
,
&c.
—
I
cannot
commend
Mr.
Boulton
'
s
Treating
him
in
the
manner
he
hath
done
,
which
was
so
far
from
my
Opinion
and
Good
liking
,
&c.
Really
,
Doctor
,
I
am
concern'd
for
your
Reputation
,
that
you
should
suffer
such
things
to
be
Printed
,
which
you
could
not
but
think
highly
disingenuous
,
and
contrary
to
Truth
,
if
not
inconsistent
with
Reason
it self
:
For
here
you
declaim
against
my
way
of
treating
Mr.
Colbatch
,
yet
say
he
hath
deserved
Ill
,
his
Hypothesis
is
Erroneous
,
Dangerous
and
Fatal
to
many
:
Where
you
Justify
what
I
have
done
;
for
if
his
Hypothesis
be
Erroneous
,
Dangerous
and
Fatal
to
many
,
and
deserved
Ill
;
if
what
I
have
writ
be
ill
Usage
,
it
is
what
you
here
pronounce
to
be
his
Merit
,
though
in
the
following
Words
you
say
it
is
contrary
to
your
Approbation
and
Good
Liking
:
Which
Words
,
if
true
,
it
follows
,
that
your
own
Opinion
is
contrary
to
your
own
good
Liking
;
because
what
I
have
writ
is
according
to
it
;
and
if
you
fall
out
with
your
own
Opinion
,
well
may
you
with
mine
.
But
give
me
leave
to
say
,
my
Book
is
not
only
Justify'd
by
what
you
say
now
,
but
was
Printed
and
was
Writ
or
altered
according
to
your
good
Liking
:
For
before
I
writ
one
Word
of
it
,
when
you
enourag'd
me
to
it
,
I
told
you
,
I
thought
it
was
not
worth
my
while
to
take
notice
of
his
Books
,
and
that
I
hated
to
write
in
such
a
manner
as
it
was
by
some
thought
he
ought
to
be
treated
in
;
but
to
this
you
told
me
,
I
could
not
handle
him
too
roughly
,
or
some
such
Words
;
and
this
(
to
put
it
into
your
Memory
)
you
told
me
as
I
was
walking
with
you
cross
Smithfield
.
Again
,
you
declaimed
upon
the
same
Subject
coming
down
Floulborn
,
where
you
told
me
,
It
would
do
the
Faculty
of
Physick
a
great
deal
of
Service
;
which
prevailed
with
me
to
gratifie
your
Humour
,
though
contrary
to
my
own
Inclination
;
I
then
thinking
your
Opinion
preferable
to
my
own
,
especially
in
a
City
where
I
was
almost
a
Stranger
then
,
and
the
Temper
of
which
I
was
then
unacquainted
with
.
But
you
did
not
only
approve
it
then
,
but
when
I
had
writ
but
a
small
part
of
it
,
you
gave
me
leave
to
Dedicate
it
to
you
;
for
though
in
your
own
Parlor
,
you
seem'd
with
a
Smile
to
refuse
it
,
yet
upon
Reading
over
the
Dedication
,
you
were
pleas'd
with
another
Smile
to
accept
it
,
telling
me
modestly
,
It
was
more
than
you
deserved
:
And
really
I
fear
you
have
given
me
Reason
to
think
it
so
;
yet
,
I
confess
,
I
am
heartily
sorry
,
if
I
was
so
much
mistaken
in
you
.
But
to
proceed
to
your
further
Good-liking
,
you
not
only
accepted
the
Dedication
,
but
read
over
the
Sheets
from
the
Press
;
and
altered
or
put
in
what
Zealous
and
Fervent
Words
you
had
a
Mind
;
and
at
the
same
time
approved
of
them
.
To
convince
the
World
of
which
,
I
add
these
Certificates
.
I
Whose
Name
is
hereunto
Subscribed
,
do
certify
,
that
I
carried
several
Sheets
of
Mr.
Boulton's
Book
against
Colbatch
to
Dr.
Goodall
,
who
read
them
over
whilst
I
was
by
;
and
not
only
put
in
several
Words
,
but
blotted
out
what
he
thought
fit
,
and
withal
repeated
these
Words
,
This
will
Maul
him
:
And
this
I
am
ready
to
Testify
upon
Oath
.
Witness
my
Hand
,
Edward
Midwinter
.
I
whose
Name
is
hereunto
Subscribed
do
Testify
,
that
I
carried
several
Sheets
of
Mr.
Boulton's
Book
against
Mr.
Colbatch
to
Dr.
Goodall's
House
,
and
delivered
them
to
him
,
one
of
which
,
I
received
back
from
him
my self
;
several
Words
being
put
in
according
to
his
Direction
:
And
this
I
am
ready
to
testify
upon
Oath
.
Witness
my
Hand
,
Henry
Lloyd
.
Besides
these
Certificates
,
I
could
add
Two
more
,
were
there
Occasion
,
but
these
I
suppose
may
be
sufficient
,
to
shew
that
you
approved
of
them
;
besides
,
when
the
whole
Book
was
Printed
,
I
carried
the
Dedication
to
you
,
which
you
consented
to
;
nor
did
you
express
the
least
Dissatisfaction
concerning
the
Dedication
,
when
the
Book
was
Published
,
but
only
said
,
there
was
(
to
)
instead
of
(
of
)
in
one
Place
.
But
you
further
say
,
you
requested
me
to
read
the
Learned
Mr.
Boyle's
Book
,
and
to
imitate
that
Learned
Author
,
in
my
Answer
to
Mr.
Colbatch
.
Truly
,
I
remember
you
were
commending
Mr.
Boyle
,
and
said
,
He
had
mauld
the
Unmannerly
Dr.
Bently
,
when
I
had
writ
about
half
my
Answer
;
but
I
can
never
think
your
Judgment
so
weak
,
as
to
have
proposed
it
for
a
Pattern
,
Since
there
is
no
Parallel
in
the
Case
;
for
tho'
I
remember
you
said
,
One
might
see
how
a
Gentleman
could
manage
a
Clown
;
yet
it
is
on
all
Hands
agreed
,
that
as
Mr.
Boyle
is
an
Ingenious
Man
,
so
Dr.
Bentley
is
a
Learned
Man
,
as
well
as
the
former
;
but
Mr
Colbatch
sure
is
not
a
Doctor
Bentley
,
tho'
you
think
sit
to
parallel
them
,
for
you
say
,
Mr.
Colbatch
hath
rais'd
a
dangerous
,
a
fatal
,
and
an
Erroncous
Hypothesis
,
but
Dr.
Bentley
hath
not
;
for
it
is
not
dangerous
or
fatal
to
read
any
thing
about
Phalaris
.
So
that
the
Circumstances
shew
there
is
no
Parallel
,
and
consequently
it
could
be
no
Pattern
:
And
I
hope
you
will
not
wrong
your
Judgment
so
much
,
as
to
say
,
that
when
a
Man
runs
down
Learning
as
much
as
he
can
,
the
same
Measures
are
to
be
taken
as
if
he
only
erred
in
Criticisms
;
for
one
Critick
may
make
Remarks
on
another
in
a
different
way
,
by
which
he
may
think
the
World
will
be
set
a
Laughing
,
and
by
that
means
Ridicule
the
other
:
But
when
a
Man
,
as
you
say
,
lays
down
Notions
of
a
more
Dangerous
Consequence
,
and
which
may
be
fatal
to
many
,
Ridicule
may
set
Men
a
Laughing
that
understand
the
Jest
,
but
it
will
never
convince
weak
and
unthinking
Physitians
;
nay
,
that
which
is
Ridicule
to
a
Judicious
Man
,
is
not
Ridicule
to
a
Man
that
Understands
not
the
Unreasonableness
of
a
thing
;
for
such
cannot
think
it
Ridiculous
till
they
are
convinced
it
is
Erroneous
;
and
though
Laughter
may
make
an
Impression
upon
their
Lungs
,
it
never
influences
the
Reason
of
those
that
think
Laughter
unreasonable
;
and
though
the
Weaker
sort
of
Physitians
can
read
a
Satyr
,
and
keep
the
Subject
before
them
in
their
Thought
at
the
same
time
,
yet
Laughter
puts
them
out
of
a
Capacity
of
Thinking
,
and
consequently
of
being
Convinced
.
In
short
,
it
may
make
Men
Merry
for
a
time
,
but
it
never
lasts
longer
than
their
Lungs
are
in
a
violent
Motion
;
whereas
a
Satyr
where
it
is
due
,
renders
the
Subject
opposed
more
despicable
,
and
brings
a
Cloud
upon
it
,
without
setting
the
Readers
Head
a
shaking
,
and
rendring
the
Sight
inconstant
.
But
not
to
urge
at
present
what
might
be
said
in
favour
of
Satyrs
,
where
a
Design
is
to
influence
the
Vulgar
,
and
not
to
set
Learned
Men
a
Laughing
,
I
shall
only
shew
you
how
much
your
Proposition
of
a
Pattern
was
inconsistent
not
only
with
Reason
,
but
the
Opinion
of
the
greatest
Orators
that
we
know
of
.
For
Cicero
,
that
Father
of
Roman
Eloquence
,
in
his
Oration
pro
Sext.
Ros●io
Amerino
says
,
Non
in
Omneis
arbitrar
omnis
convenire
,
The
same
Measures
are
not
to
be
taken
upon
all
Occasions
:
For
as
he
further
says
,
Haec
enim
est
Causa
Nova
ac
Singularis
,
This
is
a
peculiar
Cause
,
and
therefore
must
have
a
peculiar
Method
in
managing
of
it
.
Again
in
his
Book
,
de
Oratore
,
he
says
,
Neque
est
dubium
,
quin
Exordium
dicendi
,
vehemens
&
pugnax
,
non
saepe
esse
debeat
;
No
doubt
but
sometimes
an
Oration
ought
to
begin
with
heat
and
earnestness
.
According
to
which
,
in
his
Oration
pro
Q.
Rossio
,
he
falls
upon
a
whole
Body
of
Men.
O!
Societatem
captiosam
&
indignam
,
&c.
Again
,
the
same
Father
of
Eloquence
,
in
his
Book
of
Oratory
says
,
it
is
the
Part
of
an
Orator
,
Ut
inveniat
quemadmodum
fidem
faciat
eis
quibus
volet
persuadere
,
&
quemadmodum
Motum
eorum
Aninus
afferat
;
It
's
the
part
of
an
Orator
to
consider
what
Arguments
are
necessary
to
gain
Assent
,
and
what
may
move
Mens
Passions
.
And
I
leave
it
to
any
candid
Judge
,
whether
Laughter
or
Satyr
are
more
proper
,
where
an
Hypothesis
is
Erroneous
,
Dangerous
and
Fatal
to
many
?
Whether
Mens
Lives
are
to
be
made
Subjects
of
Laughter
,
or
rather
of
more
Concern
?
But
to
proceed
to
the
last
Paragraph
of
your
Letter
:
You
say
,
I
am
truly
sorry
,
that
in
the
Particulars
you
mention
,
he
hath
not
only
disobliged
me
,
but
many
others
.
How
many
I
have
disobliged
by
opposing
them
,
I
am
not
insensible
;
but
as
for
your self
,
I
can
assure
the
World
,
it
is
not
by
writing
against
Dr.
Leigh
,
nor
Mr.
Colbatch
,
for
if
it
were
so
,
I
had
disobliged
you
half
a
Year
ago
;
for
then
you
had
read
Mr.
Colbatch's
Answer
;
and
it
is
above
Four
Months
since
my
Answer
to
Dr.
Leigh
was
Printed
,
though
for
some
Reasons
it
was
not
Published
so
soon
:
But
you
and
I
have
not
been
fallen
out
above
Seven
Weeks
;
besides
,
if
you
had
been
disobliged
with
my
Writing
so
against
Mr.
Colbatch
,
by
the
same
Reason
you
would
have
fallen
out
with
Dr.
Leigh
,
he
having
writ
a
Two-Penny
Book
with
worse
Language
than
Mine
;
and
if
my
Answer
to
him
disobliged
you
,
his
Reflections
would
have
had
the
same
Effect
;
but
instead
of
that
,
you
are
both
raised
to
such
a
Pitch
of
Friendship
,
that
you
are
got
to
be
Reverend
,
and
your
Friend
,
the
Honoured
;
though
before
the
Reverend
fell
out
with
me
,
the
Honoured
was
unknown
to
the
Reverend
altogether
.
But
further
,
if
my
Reflections
on
Dr.
Leigh
,
or
Mr.
Colbatch
had
disobliged
you
,
you
'd
have
disobliged
your self
,
for
you
did
not
only
correct
my
Book
,
but
Mr.
Young's
against
S●lmon
,
which
hath
as
many
Reflections
as
Mine
;
and
I
am
afraid
that
's
contrary
to
your
Good-liking
by
this
Time.
But
sure
you
'll
not
turn
your
Back
on
Mr.
Young
,
and
say
it
's
contrary
to
your
Good-liking
:
No
,
he
's
a
little
Older
than
I
,
and
you
're
a
little
more
afraid
of
his
Resentments
:
But
though
Young
Birds
are
more
easily
catched
with
Chaff
than
Old
ones
,
yet
they
are
not
all
so
ensnared
,
but
sometimes
they
make
shift
to
disintangle
themselves
.
But
to
proceed
,
We
are
to
look
for
another
Cause
of
your
present
Obligations
,
and
to
seek
for
another
Cause
of
our
falling
out
,
which
in
short
was
this
.
In
May
last
,
I
received
the
following
Letters
from
you
,
writ
both
upon
the
same
Paper
.
Dated
May
26
,
1698.
This
to
Mr.
Richard
Boulton
,
of
Brazen-Nose
Colledge
in
Oxford
.
—
As
to
Mr.
Boulton
,
be
pleased
to
acquaint
him
,
that
there
is
a
Work
in
a
certain
Part
of
Natural
History
,
which
he
is
very
capable
to
perform
,
and
will
be
both
Reputable
and
Advantageous
to
him
;
but
that
for
some
Reasons
you
cannot
as
yet
acquaint
him
with
Particulars
.
But
let
him
disingage
himself
from
all
other
Studies
,
reserve
himself
wholly
for
this
,
and
come
to
Town
as
soon
as
his
Affairs
will
permit
.
—
This
is
a
part
of
the
Letter
,
though
the
Persons
Name
is
not
here
to
be
mentioned
;
but
upon
the
same
piece
of
Paper
,
I
received
likewise
the
following
Lines
.
SIR
,
I
Thank
you
for
your
very
Kind
and
Ingenuous
Letter
of
the
18th
Instant
;
your
Gratitude
expressed
therein
,
doth
highly
oblige
me
,
and
you
may
be
assured
I
will
do
you
all
the
good
Offices
I
can
:
—
Your
Printer
hath
brought
but
one
Sheet
since
we
Parted
;
if
you
let
me
know
his
Name
and
House
,
I
will
take
some
Care
about
the
Press
,
we
all
give
our
Service
to
you
.
I
am
Your
Sincere
and
Faithful
Friend
,
CHARLES
GOODALL
.
Now
from
this
Letter
,
it
is
plain
,
you
were
concern'd
about
the
Press
;
but
of
that
enough
before
.
And
how
far
you
have
been
my
Sincere
or
Faithful
Friend
,
I
leave
the
World
to
judge
,
who
have
a
Specimen
of
your
Sincerity
in
this
Letter
.
Upon
the
Receiving
thereof
,
I
came
to
Town
as
soon
as
I
could
possibly
,
but
too
late
for
what
was
mentioned
in
the
former
part
of
the
Letter
;
which
was
to
be
taken
for
a
peculiar
kind
of
Favour
to
be
sent
for
from
Oxford
for
nothing
;
whereas
I
writ
to
you
the
Week
before
about
it
.
But
that
it
might
not
be
for
nothing
,
you
got
me
to
Translate
Dr.
Groenvelt's
Book
about
Cantharides
,
into
English
for
you
,
which
to
please
you
,
I
did
.
Why
you
could
not
answer
that
Book
(
for
you
threatned
it
mightily
)
in
Latin
as
well
as
in
English
,
I
will
not
say
.
But
this
was
not
enough
to
send
for
me
from
Oxford
for
,
but
you
so
tyred
me
with
one
thing
after
another
,
that
I
must
either
spend
my
time
wholly
for
you
,
or
you
would
not
be
pleased
.
But
you
will
be
apt
to
say
,
I
am
still
obliged
to
you
;
and
truly
I
am
not
insensible
of
your
last
Obligations
,
since
to
make
Tryal
of
them
,
I
only
deferred
Writing
some
Unreasonable
things
you
desired
,
upon
which
the
Storms
rose
,
and
the
Winds
blew
,
and
presently
untied
the
Bonds
of
Friendship
.
But
since
I
have
made
this
Relation
Publick
,
it
perhaps
may
be
wondered
,
why
I
should
be
your
Humble
Servant
so
long
,
having
no
more
Reason
than
your
sending
for
me
to
London
,
for
nothing
almost
;
since
to
disappoint
me
,
and
serve
me
so
handsomly
,
was
none
of
the
most
worthy
Actions
of
the
Physician
to
the
Charter-House
.
That
this
then
may
seem
less
strange
,
I
must
own
,
that
you
made
me
such
Promises
of
your
Interest
in
Oxford
,
that
I
was
willing
to
spend
a
little
time
to
see
the
Event
;
but
when
I
saw
you
had
deceived
me
in
that
,
as
well
as
your
Letter
to
Oxford
,
I
thought
it
high
time
to
make
better
use
of
it
,
than
to
consume
it
with
Dr.
Goodall
.
Thus
Sir
,
I
have
,
I
hope
,
satisfied
the
World
,
that
you
have
dealt
,
if
I
may
be
so
bold
to
say
so
,
very
disingeniously
with
me
;
yet
I
was
willing
to
say
nothing
,
had
you
not
Maliciously
done
me
the
favour
to
publish
your
Spleen
against
me
.
Yet
I
can
easily
forgive
you
;
and
am
from
my
Heart
sorry
,
that
your
Reason
should
be
so
prevail'd
on
by
the
violence
of
your
Passion
:
But
since
it
is
so
,
and
past
help
,
I
hope
you
will
pardon
this
Freedom
▪
which
you
your self
have
been
the
Occasion
of
:
And
this
I
will
assure
you
of
,
though
it
lies
in
my
Power
to
say
much
more
to
your
Disadvantage
,
I
shall
not
,
except
you
give
me
further
Reason
:
And
I
could
wish
,
there
were
no
just
Cause
given
to
prevent
me
from
Subscribing
my self
,
SIR
,
Your
Humble
,
And
Obliged
Servant
,
R.
BOULTON

SInce
the
former
Sheets
were
put
to
the
Press
,
I
am
told
by
several
,
that
Dr.
Goodall
does
own
that
he
consented
to
the
Dedication
,
and
that
he
wonders
Dr.
Leigh
should
pretend
to
say
,
that
I
presumed
to
dedicate
my
Book
to
him
,
since
it
was
done
with
his
Consent
;
and
he
likewise
declares
,
that
he
is
not
a
little
displeased
,
that
Dr.
Leigh
should
be
so
unfair
,
as
to
print
his
Letter
,
without
his
Consent
:
But
I
thank
Dr.
Leigh
for
it
,
because
had
it
not
been
printed
I
could
not
have
vindicated
my self
.
AN
ANSWER
TO
Dr.
Leigh
,
&c.
THAT
Doctor
Leigh
may
be
satisfied
I
am
the
very
same
Man
I
ever
took
my self
to
be
,
I
have
,
by
Certificates
from
the
Persons
who
carried
my
Sheets
to
Dr.
Goodall's
House
(
from
the
Place
where
I
have
lodged
ever
since
I
came
to
London
)
proved
,
that
Dr.
Goodall
did
correct
and
approve
of
my
Book
;
and
that
he
was
concerned
in
it
,
appears
from
his
Letter
sent
to
me
at
Oxford
:
And
how
disingenuously
and
dishonourably
the
Doctor
hath
dealt
with
me
,
let
the
World
judge
.
But
of
this
I
have
said
enough
before
;
I
shall
therefore
take
a
View
of
what
the
Doctor
hath
said
,
either
against
me
,
or
in
Defence
of
himself
;
in
doing
which
,
I
shall
only
lay
down
Matter
of
Fact
,
and
leave
the
World
to
judge
whether
I
have
given
him
his
Answer
.
And
First
in
his
Title
,
he
calls
my
last
Book
,
my
Last
Piece
;
he
calls
my
Book
of
the
Heat
of
the
Blood
,
a
Piece
;
so
that
all
I
can
write
in
the
Language
of
the
Famous
Doctor
Doctorum
Doctor
Leigh
must
needs
be
Pieces
:
But
I
leave
it
to
the
World
to
judge
,
whether
what
he
writes
,
be
not
more
like
Pieces
than
Books
;
for
in
the
first
Place
he
writ
a
Penny
Book
against
me
;
next
he
writ
a
Three
penny
Book
against
Mr.
Colbatch
;
and
now
I
have
got
a
Two-penny
Book
again
:
So
that
I
cannot
for
the
Heart
of
me
,
stretch
the
Doctors
Phancy
,
to
write
a
Book
as
valuable
as
a
common
Almanack
;
and
it
's
strange
that
all
the
Doctor
can
say
against
me
is
not
worth
more
than
Two
pence
in
his
own
Opinion
;
but
perhaps
he
hath
squeezed
more
Sense
into
his
Pieces
than
usually
sticks
in
so
small
a
Compass
,
and
therefore
I
shall
examin
their
Merit
.
In
his
first
Piece
he
hath
made
Remarks
on
Pigs
,
Mice
,
Elephants
,
Cheesmongers
,
Irish
-
Men
,
C
—
w
T
—
d.
The
Pudenda
of
a
Salt
Bitch
,
Duck-Shot
,
Roger
a
Coverly
,
the
Wise
Men
of
Gotham
,
the
Cuckow
and
Diego
and
his
Spanish
Geese
.
And
all
these
wonderful
Phaenomena
hath
he
declaimed
on
,
instead
of
Answering
me
:
But
truly
in
his
last
Piece
,
he
hath
condemned
himself
.
And
Page
the
12th
says
,
They
were
writ
in
a
Stile
too
light
for
the
Gravity
and
Sobriety
of
Philosophy
;
so
that
in
this
,
we
must
expect
something
like
a
Philosopher
;
truly
a
happy
Change
:
And
I
hope
my
last
Prescription
hath
taken
effect
.
But
let
us
see
what
Alterations
it
hath
wrought
.

of
a
Tartar
that
defaces
th●
Plains
he
was
foraging
in
,
and

removes
to
a
〈◊〉
Clime
:
Whence
it
's
evident
that
his
Notions
of
Feve●●
and
Inflammatory
Diseases
,
could
not
be
borrowed
from
Dr.
Willis
.
A
strange
Consequence
.
p.
14th
.
he
says
,
The
Weash-man
purchased
the
Pompion
for
the
Mare
's
Egg
and
got
never
a
Colt
from
it
,
and
these
are
things
not
too
light
for
the
gravity
and
sobriety
of
Philosophy
.
Strange
!
how
the
Dr.
Philosophized
when
he
wrote
these
things
of
Weight
and
Sobriety
,
and
how
much
they
differ
from
the
admirable
Contents
of
his
first
Peice
.
But
if
this
be
the
Dr's
Philosophy
,
unenvied
by
me
may
he
phylosophize
,
till
he
hath
gathered
enough
to
compleat
his
Theory
;
I
for
my
Part
shall
leave
him
to
hug
and
admire
his
Peices
till
he
is
weary
;
and
shall
only
take
notice
of
what
he
further
dogmatically
denies
in
my
Book
without
giving
any
Reason
for
it
,
and
what
he
says
for
himself
.
And
First
,
all
that
sticks
with
the
Doctor
,
as
to
my
Books
,
is
,
That
he
cannot
See
or
Taste
the
Mucilage
;
which
I
conceive
to
be
Animal
Spirits
;
and
that
the
Metaphorical
Glands
which
are
made
up
of
the
Extremities
of
the
Vessels
,
cannot
be
discerned
by
Microscopes
:
This
is
all
that
the
Doctor
alledges
against
my
Books
,
the
remaining
part
of
his
Sheet
being
either
Enlargements
upon
the
wonderful
Stock
of
Philosophy
,
but
just
now
mentioned
,
or
a
Vindication
of
his
own
Book
.
As
to
the
First
,
he
tells
me
,
I
no
where
prove
Animal
Spirits
to
be
an
Oyly
Mucilage
;
and
he
asks
me
,
Whether
I
ever
saw
it
or
tasted
it
?
To
this
I
answer
,
that
I
have
both
seen
and
tasted
it
;
and
have
already
proved
the
Animal
Spirits
to
be
an
Oyly
Mucilage
,
in
my
Book
of
the
Heat
of
the
Blood
;
and
therefore
,
I
shall
refer
the
Reader
thither
,
it
not
being
requisite
that
I
should
trouble
my self
to
repeat
what
is
there
said
,
as
often
as
Dr.
Leigh
shall
ask
the
Question
afresh
.
And
since
he
here
says
,
Their
Agility
in
Voluntary
Motion
,
demonstrates
that
they
do
not
move
slower
than
Blood
;
I
answer
,
That
it
is
no
Demonstration
;
for
though
the
Spirits
move
slowly
in
the
Nerves
,
yet
when
they
come
to
be
mixed
with
the
Blood
,
and
meet
with
Particles
which
are
of
a
different
Temper
and
Texture
,
they
may
then
become
Active
,
and
many
degrees
more
active
than
before
.
So
the
Particles
of
Alkalies
and
Acids
when
kept
separate
in
distinct
Vessels
,
have
not
half
the
Agility
and
Activity
in
their
Parts
,
as
when
mixed
together
;
the
Result
of
their
Mixture
,
if
Volatile
,
being
a
strong
Fermentation
,
which
was
in
neither
of
the
separate
Liquors
,
And
altho
'
Gun-powder
be
slowly
squeezed
through
a
long
pipe
and
out
of
that
falls
upon
the
Fire
,
yet
it
's
Explosion
when
worked
upon
by
so
powerful
an
Agent
,
is
no
argument
that
the
Corpuscles
of
the
Gun-powder
were
in
as
violent
a
Motion
before
the
Explosion
;
since
it
's
evident
that
they
are
not
;
so
that
the
Spirits
may
move
slowly
in
the
Nerves
when
kept
separate
from
the
Blood
,
yet
be
put
into
a
more
violent
Agitation
when
mixed
with
it
;
that
Agitation
being
no
Argument
of
their
equal
Agility
before
,
but
a
consequence
of
their
Mixture
.
But
to
proceed
to
his
other
Objection
,
viz.
That
the
Metapborical
Glands
cannot
be
seen
with
a
Microscope
;
To
this
I
answer
,
that
by
Metaphorical
Glands
,
I
mean
nothing
but
a
Commixture
of
the
Extremities
of
Vessels
,
Metaphorical
Glands
implying
no
more
;
which
appears
from
what
I
have
said
in
my
Book
of
Muscular
Motion
,
to
which
I
shall
refer
the
Reader
,
it
not
being
necessary
to
repeat
what
is
there
,
tho'
Dr.
Leigh
should
for
Information
sake
,
ask
the
Question
again
and
again
:
But
that
what
I
have
said
there
,
is
sufficient
to
prove
,
that
there
are
such
Glands
,
I
presume
undeniable
,
till
what
I
have
offered
with
submission
to
Reason
,
be
confuted
by
it
;
and
then
if
I
cannot
maintain
it
,
let
it
fall
:
It
is
Knowledge
and
Truth
I
shall
ever
value
above
my
own
Opinion
,
if
it
be
not
so
;
but
if
it
be
,
I
shall
value
it
as
Truth
,
and
only
content
my self
with
the
satisfaction
of
contributing
my
Endeavours
to
the
General
stock
of
Knowledge
.
But
to
satisfy
the
World
,
that
we
are
not
to
dis-believe
,
what
I
have
said
of
those
Glands
,
because
we
cannot
see
them
,
I
shall
add
a
Quotation
from
the
Honourable
Esquire
Boyle's
Works
,
which
will
shew
him
,
that
there
are
several
Truths
in
Nature
,
which
we
believe
,
because
we
have
Reason
for
it
;
tho'
as
to
Sight
they
are
imperceivable
;
for
that
most
ingenious
and
experimental
Promoter
of
useful
Knowledge
,
who
was
a
profound
,
and
one
of
the
greatest
of
Philosophers
,
in
his
History
of
Fludity
,
Page
189.
Sect.
XX.
admits
of
Reason
to
be
proof
,
where
the
minuteness
of
Bodies
renders
them
imperceivable
:
For
he
says
,
If
it
be
objected
,
that
the
Various
and
Insensible
Parts
of
Water
,
and
resembling
Bodies
,
wherein
we
make
the
Nature
of
Fluidity
chiefly
to
consist
,
is
but
an
Imaginary
thing
,
and
but
precariously
asserted
,
since
by
our
own
Confession
they
are
so
small
,
that
the
Particles
themselves
,
and
more
,
the
diversity
of
their
Motions
,
are
imperceptable
by
Sense
,
&c.
We
shall
not
deny
the
Objection
to
be
plausible
,
but
must
not
acknowledge
it
to
be
unanswerable
.
And
the
like
may
be
said
for
those
Glands
;
for
if
we
have
Reason
to
believe
there
are
such
,
we
are
not
to
deny
what
our
Reason
tells
us
,
because
it
is
not
an
Object
of
Sight
;
and
that
it
is
the
Smallness
of
those
Glands
that
makes
them
to
be
imperceiptible
by
Sight
is
evident
,
since
the
best
Microscopes
will
not
make
the
Terminations
of
those
Vessels
visible
which
compose
them
:
Yet
I
hope
no
Body
will
say
,
that
the
Vessels
have
no
ends
,
because
they
cannot
see
them
:
If
then
we
allow
what
is
beyond
Contradiction
,
viz.
That
the
Terminations
of
the
Vessels
cannot
be
perceived
,
we
must
allow
that
these
Glands
must
be
Invisible
,
because
made
up
of
those
Vessels
which
are
too
fine
to
be
perceived
;
and
that
those
Vessels
do
communicate
with
one
another
,
and
consequently
make
up
such
Glands
I
have
given
such
Reasons
in
my
Book
,
and
also
laid
down
such
Experiments
,
that
I
need
not
to
bring
any
more
till
those
are
deficient
.
Having
answered
all
the
Doctors
Objections
against
my
Book
,
I
shall
consider
what
he
says
for
himself
:
And
First
,
to
pass
by
all
that
heap
of
loud
sounding
Words
,
which
is
vulgarly
called
Bombast
,
or
Sound
without
Signification
,
I
shall
briefly
take
notice
,
that
tho'
I
quoted
Doctor
Willis
,
and
shewed
him
that
his
Notion
of
Heat
was
the
same
with
it
,
as
also
that
Doctor
Willis
had
the
same
Notion
of
the
Cause
of
Intermitting
Fevers
;
and
tho'
I
shewed
him
,
that
in
Dropsies
,
he
mistakes
the
Effect
for
the
Cause
;
and
that
in
his
Dissertation
of
Mineral
Waters
,
he
only
proves
what
no
Body
denies
;
he
thinks
it
an
Answer
sufficient
to
deny
what
is
evidently
true
,
and
matter
of
Fact
:
For
he
says
,
he
did
not
borrow
his
Notions
from
Dr.
Willis
,
neither
do
I
say
so
;
but
he
acted
the
Plagiary
(
to
use
his
own
Words
)
or
he
stole
them
from
him
;
for
those
Words
he
makes
use
on
himself
.
But
he
says
Dr.
Willis
assigns
Fermentation
to
be
the
Cause
of
Heat
;
and
that
he
assigns
Collision
;
but
any
Body
that
knows
the
least
of
the
Corpuscularian
Philosophy
,
would
not
think
to
come
off
with
such
mean
Evasion
,
since
Fermentation
implies
Collision
,
and
Collision
,
which
is
the
Effect
of
Motion
,
where
it
is
violent
enough
,
is
but
calling
Fermentation
by
another
Name
,
since
Fermentation
and
Collision
of
the
Parts
of
hot
Bodies
,
are
significatively
the
same
,
tho'
different
Sounds
.
Again
,
he
says
,
He
does
not
endeavour
to
prove
an
Acid
in
Vitriolated
Waters
,
but
that
there
is
a
perfect
concocted
Vitriol
;
which
is
as
much
as
to
say
,
he
does
not
argue
for
an
Acid
,
but
for
a
perfect
Acid
,
since
Vitriol
is
an
Acid
;
so
that
to
prove
Vitriolate
Waters
have
Vitriol
in
them
,
is
to
prove
Acid
Waters
have
Acid
in
them
;
which
I
suppose
none
denies
.
But
let
the
Doctor
dispute
the
Case
,
it
's
a
fine
easie
Subject
for
him
;
he
may
tell
his
Country-men
such
Amusing
Stories
;
and
that
there
is
Salt
in
their
Porrage
if
he
will
;
perhaps
he
may
convince
them
,
by
the
same
Strain
,
and
Vigorous
Arguments
used
at
the
Well
near
Haigh
,
and
the
Well
prope
Boulton
in
Lancashire
.
But
lest
People
should
〈…〉
Doctor
really
confuted
,
he
says
very
little
in
vindication
of
himself
,
thinking
if
he
should
use
Arguments
,
it
would
make
People
take
Notice
of
his
Faults
the
more
.
Therefore
to
divert
their
Observations
,
he
thinks
to
make
a
Noise
about
a
Latin
Sentence
,
and
Three
Latin
Words
;
as
if
convincing
me
there
,
would
attone
for
the
whole
Notions
of
Value
in
his
Book
,
taken
from
Dr.
Willis
;
but
I
don't
think
I
need
to
use
any
Arguments
to
perswade
Physicians
,
to
believe
what
I
have
said
,
since
it
is
the
generally
received
Opinion
that
Dr.
Leigh
hath
nothing
in
his
Book
of
his
own
worth
owning
.
But
to
come
to
his
Scholarship
,
he
tells
me
I
don't
understand
Latin
,
and
that
I
must
go
to
School
again
:
Poor
good
Natur'd
Soul
!
he
finds
the
Good
Effects
of
my
last
Advice
,
and
by
his
Quoting
of
Horace
and
Virgil
,
&c.
I
find
he
hath
been
at
School
,
and
taken
it
;
and
now
like
a
sweet
Tempered
Gentleman
,
he
would
needs
advise
me
to
make
use
of
the
same
Means
▪
This
had
been
a
Symptom
of
a
good
D●sposition
in
Mind
,
had
I
not
been
mightily
prejudiced
;
for
there
is
scarce
any
Body
that
finds
Benefit
by
a
Medicine
,
but
they
usually
recommend
it
to
every
Body
that
they
have
a
Respect
for
,
whether
they
want
it
or
not
:
Whether
I
want
it
or
not
,
I
don't
pretend
to
say
,
but
am
sure
that
notwithstanding
his
Quoting
Dr.
Lister
,
I
must
tell
him
,
pro
me
,
is
not
so
good
Latin
,
as
Quod
ad
me
attinet
,
or
Quatenus
me
refert
;
but
he
hath
a
mind
Dr.
Lister
should
be
blamed
with
him
,
as
when
Two
Children
fall
out
about
their
Play
,
the
one
thinks
it
hard
to
be
whipped
,
and
the
other
saved
;
so
he
must
needs
have
Dr.
Lister
in
for
Two
Words
at
least
;
with
all
my
Heart
,
I
am
not
against
it
;
if
he
must
be
blamed
,
when
the
one
hath
the
Ferula
,
let
the
other
stand
by
.
The
Doctor
is
not
angry
that
I
find
fault
with
Sic
Regero
:
But
let
him
not
be
concerned
,
I
only
think
it
a
mean
Metaphor
,
and
fitter
to
be
used
by
him
in
the
Genuine
Sense
of
the
Word
,
than
Metaphorically
.
But
he
cannot
let
one
Sentence
pass
;
I
carp
at
a
harmless
Word
in
proclivi
,
and
say
it
should
be
in
promptu
;
but
that
he
may
be
satisfied
in
this
particular
also
,
I
shall
tell
him
I
designed
it
,
as
an
Emblem
of
his
Ingenuity
;
for
I
did
not
say
in
Proclivi
was
never
used
,
but
I
meant
,
that
his
Thoughts
which
were
in
Proclivi
,
ought
to
be
in
Promptu
;
which
was
as
much
as
to
say
,
they
were
according
to
the
Aetymology
of
the
Word
;
i.
e.
Mean
and
Weak
,
instead
of
easie
and
fluent
;
and
I
only
expressed
my self
so
ambiguously
,
to
catch
the
Doctor
;
for
I
knew
he
'd
fall
foul
upon
any
Bait
;
and
truly
I
had
a
mind
to
lay
up
a
Reserve
to
Banter
him
;
for
I
could
not
think
the
Doctor
when
roused
,
would
have
said
so
little
in
Vindication
of
himself
.
But
again
,
what
shall
I
do
now
,
he
says
I
fall
hard
upon
Case
;
and
truly
his
Case
is
such
,
that
I
cannot
avoid
it
;
but
he
brings
Cicero
,
Virgil
,
Ovid
,
Horace
and
Plautus
against
me
,
can
I
oppose
them
?
No
,
but
I
can
easily
shew
that
they
'll
oppose
him
,
for
tho'
he
be
so
Vigorous
,
these
Quotations
are
against
him
:
For
Opinioni
haud
Natura
se
Credidit
,
is
false
Latin
;
and
to
make
it
appear
,
we
are
to
consider
,
that
Cicero
in
his
Book
,
de
Oratoriae
Partionibus
says
,
Ut
in
simplicibus
Verbis
,
quod
non
&
Latinum
;
sic
in
Conjunctis
,
quod
non
est
Consequens
V●●uperandum
est
.
So
that
tho'
Doctor
Leigh
hath
joined
Words
,
if
the
Connection
be
false
,
the
Latin
hath
no
Consequence
,
and
consequently
is
culpable
.
And
where
the
Sense
of
Words
are
not
connected
,
the
Sense
is
broke
,
and
consequently
to
be
blamed
.
I
shall
therefore
,
because
he
is
so
zealous
upon
his
Sentence
,
shew
him
,
that
the
Sense
wants
Connection
,
and
that
none
of
the
Quoted
Sentences
will
help
him
:
For
in
this
Sentence
,
Opinioni
haud
Natura
se
Credidit
,
the
Person
is
the
Accusative
Case
,
and
the
Thing
in
the
Dative
,
where
if
Credo
be
taken
in
a
Grammatical
Signification
of
that
Word
;
it
must
signifie
to
believe
,
and
then
the
English
will
be
,
I
believe
my self
to
Opinion
not
Nature
.
But
the
Doctor
thinks
this
absurd
himself
;
let
us
see
then
what
the
Authorities
avail
;
The
first
Instance
in
Plautus
which
he
brings
is
,
credere
se
Neptuno
.
The
Second
is
,
Credere
se
Coelo
praepetibus
pennis
,
Virgil
:
The
remaining
Instances
are
,
Credere
suum
animum
Alicui
,
Terence
,
Credere
uni
omnia
,
Cicero
.
Libris
Arcana
Credere
,
Horace
.
Veritus
se
Credere
nocti
,
Ovid.
Now
in
all
these
,
Credo
signifies
to
Commit
,
as
to
commit
ones
self
to
the
Waves
,
to
commit
ones
self
to
the
Air
,
to
commit
Secrets
to
Writing
,
&c.
But
if
one
should
say
,
I
commit
my self
to
my
Opinion
,
and
not
to
Nature
;
how
incoherent
would
the
Sense
be
,
and
ridiculous
.
But
perhaps
the
Doctor
will
say
,
that
Credo
may
s●gnify
,
I
give
my self
up
to
my
Opinion
and
not
to
Nature
;
if
he
does
,
the
Sense
is
not
much
better
;
besides
,
the
Word
Nature
is
used
so
ambiguously
,
that
I
cannot
tell
what
he
gives
himself
up
to
,
till
he
informs
me
,
what
he
means
by
Nature
;
for
Nature
is
by
some
Philosophers
,
and
particularly
the
Honourable
Mr.
Boyle
,
used
to
signifie
the
Natural
State
of
Bodies
,
or
their
Natural
Texture
and
Modification
;
but
to
say
a
Man
gives
himself
up
to
the
Natural
State
of
Bodies
,
or
their
Texture
and
Modification
,
must
be
nothing
but
Absurdity
;
and
let
the
Doctor
try
,
if
Credo
will
bear
any
other
English
Sense
better
than
what
I
have
mentioned
,
still
remembring
to
keep
the
Person
either
in
the
Accusative
or
Dative
Case
;
if
he
cannot
,
as
I
am
sure
he
cannot
,
the
Sentence
is
false
Latin
,
according
to
Cicero
,
because
false
Sense
,
and
consequently
Vituperandum
;
and
not
only
so
,
but
since
Credo
is
used
by
Dr.
Leigh
,
in
a
different
Sense
from
what
it
is
in
those
Citations
,
and
the
Authors
Quoted
,
it
is
impossible
to
use
the
Word
Credo
in
their
Sense
,
so
as
to
make
Grammatical
Sense
of
his
Latin
Words
;
besides
,
as
Cicero
says
,
there
must
be
a
like
Consequence
or
similar
Signification
,
to
make
the
Comparison
good
;
for
it
is
not
placing
any
Latin
Words
in
the
same
Cases
and
Order
,
that
makes
them
Justifiable
,
except
there
be
a
parity
of
Sense
and
Reason
.
But
why
do
I
talk
of
Reason
to
the
Doctor
,
since
nothing
is
more
Heterogeneous
or
disagreeable
to
his
Head
,
than
any
thing
that
concerns
that
Faculty
;
for
my
Book
of
the
Heat
of
the
Blood
contains
nothing
,
but
what
I
hope
I
have
given
Reason
for
.
Upon
which
Account
▪
the
Doctor
fell
out
with
it
,
was
dissatisfied
,
and
in
sine
was
resolved
to
shew
his
Wit
;
to
which
I
gave
an
Answer
,
which
I
thought
most
agreeable
to
such
a
Philosopher
;
which
had
so
good
an
Effect
,
as
to
bring
the
Doctor
to
a
very
little
better
Temper
.
But
since
I
see
he
will
be
a
Two-penny
Author
,
I
was
resolved
now
to
talk
Reason
to
him
,
finding
it
the
properest
Method
to
be
revenged
on
him
;
for
if
Reason
before
made
him
so
mad
with
me
,
it
may
have
a
stronger
Influence
,
if
re-applied
to
a
weak
Head.
And
now
I
shall
leave
the
World
to
judge
what
's
become
of
Dr.
Leigh's
Reply
,
and
Dr.
Goodall's
Letter
.
As
for
a
Letter
of
Mine
,
that
he
tells
me
of
;
he
hath
taken
a
great
deal
of
care
to
mis-represent
it
,
and
to
make
it
what
he
would
have
it
:
But
the
Sense
of
what
I
writ
was
,
that
tho'
there
were
a
great
many
Learned
and
Ingenious
Men
in
the
University
,
they
were
not
all
such
,
which
was
no
Reflection
,
since
it
is
mod
certain
,
that
those
that
are
come
fresh
from
School
,
or
of
a
small
standing
,
cannot
reasonably
be
ranked
amongst
Graduates
in
the
University
.
And
as
for
my
Qualifying
my self
for
a
Degree
in
a
Month
,
or
to
perform
the
Exercise
of
a
Day
in
an
Hour
,
I
do
not
think
saying
so
,
was
calling
the
Exercise
trifling
;
for
I
having
studied
Five
Years
after
I
left
Chester-School
before
I
came
there
,
and
having
studied
Philosophy
before
,
and
read
most
Conttoversies
of
Value
,
I
do
not
think
it
much
Presumption
in
me
to
say
,
that
that
which
Five
Years
hard
Study
had
made
easy
to
me
,
was
difficult
to
those
that
came
fresh
from
School
:
and
I
presume
if
Dr.
Leigh
should
be
sent
to
the
University
now
,
which
were
to
be
wished
,
he
'd
be
apt
to
say
,
the
Exercise
was
easie
;
for
when
a
Thing
is
Learnt
,
any
thing
is
easie
;
and
I
had
learnt
most
of
those
things
before
;
so
that
I
gave
my
Friend
an
Account
how
easie
it
was
to
me
then
,
and
how
much
my
past
Studies
had
made
those
light
:
So
that
what
I
said
,
was
nothing
but
what
any
Batchelour
of
Arts
will
say
,
viz.
That
at
Four
Years
end
they
remember
so
well
what
they
had
learnt
for
the
Four
Years
past
,
that
were
they
to
begin
the
Exercise
of
the
first
Year
again
,
they
could
do
in
an
Hour
,
what
a
fresh
Scholar
could
not
do
in
Twelve
:
And
if
a
Batchelour
at
Four
Years
might
without
Reflection
say
so
,
I
hope
in
the
Sixth
Year
of
a
continued
and
hard
Study
,
I
might
presume
to
say
,
I
could
do
that
in
an
Hour
,
which
a
School
boy
could
not
do
in
Twelve
.
But
the
Doctor
would
needs
represent
me
as
an
Enemy
to
the
Universities
,
that
they
might
revenge
his
Cause
;
but
I
here
declare
and
say
,
that
nothing
shall
make
me
an
Enemy
to
them
,
as
long
as
I
have
the
Use
of
my
Reason
;
and
I
shall
ever
contribute
my
utmost
Endeavours
in
Vindication
of
the
Universities
,
till
I
have
Reason
to
the
contrary
,
which
I
hope
I
shall
never
have
;
and
till
then
,
as
I
shall
make
it
my
Business
to
make
what
Improvements
I
can
in
real
Knowledge
,
so
I
shall
to
the
utmost
of
my
Power
vindicate
Learning
,
and
oppose
the
Opposers
of
it
.
POSTSCRIPT
.
SInce
the
Three
former
Sheets
were
Printed
,
I
hear
that
Dr.
Goodall
is
very
angry
,
that
I
should
offer
to
answer
his
Letter
in
Vindication
of
my self
:
And
I
am
likewise
told
,
that
a
certain
Friend
of
Dr.
Leigh's
thinks
I
have
used
him
too
hardly
:
But
as
to
the
First
,
I
must
beg
Dr.
Goodall's
Pardon
;
for
if
he
's
offended
,
he
may
blame
himself
for
it
;
I
thought
my self
concerned
to
take
off
the
unjust
Imputations
laid
upon
me
;
and
if
he
can
think
well
of
himself
for
Publishing
a
Letter
so
inconsistent
with
Truth
,
I
have
a
better
Apology
to
make
,
for
laying
down
Matter
of
Fact.
As
for
Dr.
Leigh
,
had
he
writ
against
me
as
a
Rational
Man
ought
,
I
should
have
answered
him
with
that
Deference
which
is
due
from
me
to
a
Graduate
;
but
if
he
thought
fit
to
transgress
the
Bounds
of
Reason
,
it
was
but
Reason
to
answer
him
in
a
way
he
made
choice
of
himself
;
a
Method
which
I
by
no
means
would
have
made
choice
of
,
had
he
deserved
a
better
Character
from
me
,
than
he
hath
amongst
Learned
Men.
