the Kernel save only that the Cerebellum is much the softer substance but agrees in this that it is covered like the Kernel but since he is displeased with the thin shell about the Brain which I thought had been a sign of a good Head as it is of a good Nut I with him much joy of a thick Scull The Author being aware that the Cerebellum was empty raises the Hypochondria Page 50. into the Region of the Brain Beware Sir left some Quibler and Anatomist like one you know shall say that he has then guts in his Brains a Proverb expressing a Man of Wit and Parts I shou'd propound another considerable Instance of your Learning but that I am afraid of setting the Anti-Mathematician on your back I will only give such a hint as you and I and no other can understand You remember the Square-Cap Colledge-Quadrangle Round World and Quadrature of Circle How would Mr. Hobbs take it to be thus robb'd of his late Glorious Atchievements that an Vniversity Capper or any idle Fellow that turns or drinks about till the ground runs round with him shou'd as truly as he discover the Quadrature of the Circle Next come your Reports out of History which are choice like your new-found words Page 123. Julian himself who I think was first a Reader and held forth in the Christian Churches before he turned Apostate c. Well Sir if you miscarry in History as you had a casual slip in Anatomy I would advise you to renounce the use of all in Writing except Phansie and Censure It might be doubted whether Iulian were a Reader in the Church Socrates Scholasti●us says he was design'd Sozomen that he was judged fit though Theodoret affirms that he did publickly Read the Scriptures but except this be preaching and holding forth which certainly will not pass with you for a Sermon Iulian was never a Holder-forth To be a Reader as he was is no more than to be a Lay-Clerk in a Cathedral The business of Preaching was scarce permitted to Priests in the Primitive Church for though we find that the Readers at Alexandria did Interpret that is Translate to them the Scripture yet the Historian who relates this to wit Socrates adds that Arius was the first Priest who did ever in that City preach to the Assemblies of Christians but it may be Iulian did it in the Independent way as a Gifted-Brother and that would please your Client I. O. or else as a Reader he was of the Clergie and in Holy Order and thereby you gratifie the Papists It will do good service which way so ere it falls seeing both of them oppose the Common Enemy the Church of England But if you could place this Iulian in some Cure of Souls and had once discovered that he was either Parson or Vicar you wou'd easily conclude that he did Hold-forth You may conclude that you have done the business by the authority of Ammianus Marcellinus who in his 22. Book having spoken of the Christians immediately before adds Iulianus quinetiam Exvicario earundem partium nimius fautor c. which you thus construed Iulian from being a Vicar became too great a Favourer of that Party O brave Merry Andrew this I 'le warrant it pleases you But what pity it is in that Age of the Church there were neither Vicaridges nor Impropriations And further this Iulian was not the Apostate but a Deputy under Constantius turn'd out by Iulian the Emperour as is signified by Exvicario which word is by Marcellinus barbarously set as the Nominative in apposition to Iulianus as is evident in the next line where he calls Artemias the Exduce Egypti so that he seems to have learned his Accidence but not Grammar he thinks that where-ever he meets with the Preposition Ex the next Nown though part of the same word must always be the Ablative Case But I am now quite tir'd with these petty Criticisms so that for your farther satisfaction in the Grammatical part I refer you next see him to blind M. who teaches School about M●re-fields What think you of this sorry Latinist Marcellinus was he not fit to have serv'd as Latine Secretary about those Times when the Super-Reformists intended to have made Masters and Fellows of Colledges like Reformed Officers when the Gustices with a G of B shire set their marks to a Petition for suppressing Universities doubtless at that time when Latine was the Language of the Beast he might have kept in Office because what he wrote differ'd much from what the Beast bellow'd If you are not weary of hearing he shall present you with more History Page 204. He would not as Heliodorus Bishop of Trissa I take it that renounced his Bishoprick rather than his Title to the History of Theagenes and Chariclea If you dare believe a faithful Historian ancienter than any who affirms the contrary the Author of the Aethiopicks or the History of Theagenes and Chariclea was not Heliodorus but Theodorus not a Bishop but at large a Clergy-man which by his Translator is rendred a Priest not of Trissa but of Triva this account is given by Socrates but he says not a word of his renouncing his Office in the Church He only notes that he was the Ring-leader of that peculiar Custom in Thessaly that Priests should renounce their wives The first who affirmed that he preferred his Book above his Clergy was the fabulous Nicephorus one who when he does not steal invents either gross scandals or feign'd Miracles so that you may put up your Trumpery this Ware will not pass except with those who endure not to read the History of the Primitive Church because it is so unlike their own however it will make chat among the Brotherhood Iulian the Apostate formerly a Preacher of a National Church exchang'd his Faith for Idolatry and Bishop Heliodore chose rather to be silenc'd than condemn his vain and frothy Romance But you afford your Friends better entertainment in pointing at some of the Church of England lately dead as if they were Popishly affected He who begs the Requiem had good cause it seems to bespeak the favour that his memory might be blessed as 't is hoped he is and that his good name might be at rest as well as his body for you have laid the greatest blemish in the World on him that he should accuse a Church of Schism before God and still live in the Communion and Ministery of the same it had been better that you had writ his own words immediately from his Book he says it with an If c. which he endeavours to disprove to be the reason of the Separation your leaving out the supposition and affirming it as an absolute assertion inverts his meaning utterly so that the accusation is like that of Serapion to St. Chrysostom against Severianus for saying that Christ was never incarnate whereas his words were that if Severianus died a Christian Christ was never incarnate But something is the
