years 360 and 370. It is prohibited to read in the Church any other Books than the Canonical and those only are acknowledged as such which are allow'd by the Protestants excepting the Revelation The 8. Canon of the Council of Saragossa forbids the vailing of Nuns before the age of 40 years The Bishops of Macedonia being about to confirm a Censure that they had made against a certain Bishop named Bonosius and desiring the advice of Pope Siricius he replied That the Council of CAPUA having referr'd this cause to them it did not appertain to him to give any Judgment therein and that they had power to determine it The most ancient Record according to the opinion of Mr. Du Pin in which the name of Mass is applied to signifie the publick Prayers recited by the Church of Rome in celebrating the Eucharist is the third Canon of the II. Council of Carthage holden Anno Domini 390. In the end of this Volume the Author exhibits an Epitome of the Doctrine of the fourth Century as he hath done in the preceeding with respect to the first three and he avoucheth that altho' nothing was taught in the fourth Age of the Church but what was likewise believed in the three former nevertheless the principal Mysteries of the Christian Religion have been much illustrated and explained therein III. Commentaries on Latin Authors Q. HORATII FLACCI Poemata Interpretatione notis illustravit Petrus Rodellius é Soc. Jesu jussu Christianissimi Regis ad usum Sereniss Delphini huic Editioni accesserunt Odae aliquot Satyrae unà cum interpretatione continuâ quae in priori desiderabantur nec non Index rerum Phrasium Verborum memorabilium 8. Lond. Impensis Abel Swalle 1690. pag. 366. THis Edition which is no less correct than that of Paris hath moreover this advantage that it contains the entire Works of Horace Father Rodellius thought fit indeed not only to avoid the interpretation of divers Odes and Satyrs that seemed to him to be somewhat too luxuriant and offensive to chast minds but even wholly to retrench them nevertheless this defect is now supplied by reprinting these Pieces that were omitted and by Paraphrasing all the rest excepting about half of the second Satyr I. THE Author having perus'd Mr. Dacier's Translation and Critical Remarks undertakes to censure some of those that are not agreeable to his opinion The latter in his French Interpretation declares that whereas Horace makes mention of Maecenas thus Atavis edite Regibus These words are not to be understood as if Maecenas were really descended from the Kings of Etreria since there is not so much as one Historian that takes any notice of the Royal Stock of this Favourite of Augustus but they all affirm that he derived his extraction from an illustrious Family of Knights The ancient Commentators produce three Names of these pretended Kings but he avoucheth it to be a counterfeit List and that they were deceived in taking Atavus for a Great Grand-Father As for his part by the word Reges he understands Noblemen or Persons of considerable Quality insomuch that according to his Judgment the meaning of Horace was only this that Maecenas was descended of an ancient Family of Etreria It must be granted that the words Rex Regina are often used in that sense which is alledged by Mr. Dacier but on the other hand Rodellius insists that in this place the word Rex ought to be taken in its proper and genuine signification as well as in the following Verse of Propertius Maecenas eques Etrusco de Sanguine Regum The Historians might easily omit this circumstance relating to the Noble Extraction of Maecenas by reason that none of them undertook to give a particular account of his life and it is mention'd by the Poets in regard that they had receiv'd the greatest share of his favours Neither indeed could Maecenas derive his Pedigree from the Kings of Etreria but at a very great distance so that according to the judgment of Rodellius as well as that of Mr. Dacier the name of Cecina that is attributed to the Great Grand-Father of this Illustrious Person and who is reputed to have been King of Etreria is meerly feigned Besides the Kings of Etreria were not very considerable if we may give credit to the Testimony of Dionysius Hallicarnassaeus Lucius Florus and other Ancient Writers There were twelve in number at the same time and altho' they had an Equipage like unto that of the Roman Consuls together with a Scepter and a Crown nevertheless they reigned only within the narrow bounds of one City as Porsenna at Clusium Therefore altho' it ought not to be accounted as a matter of no moment to be descended from those Kings Yet it is not of so great consequence as that it should be admir'd that the Historians have not made mention thereof with respect to Maecenas These are the reasons alledged by Rodellius which being confirmed by the Authority of Propertius will without doubt cause many to incline to his Opinion It is not sufficient that because a word as that of Rex is used in a certain sense in some places therefore it ought to be explain'd after the same manner wheresoever it is possible that this signification may be admitted it must also be attended with certain circumstances which favour this sense and determin that equivocal word thereto It is requisite then to enquire whether it be probable that in the expressions of Horace and Propertius the word Rex should be taken for a Rich or Noble Man but we shall leave this to the decision of those that are expert Criticks in the Latin Tongue II. Father Rodellius hath annexed a Chronological Epitome of the Roman History from the 21. year of Horace to the 57. which account indeed is useful for the more clear understanding of the Works of this Poet but the Chronology of Horace's Odes inserted in Tanaquil Faber's Letters would not have been less advantageous and Rodellius would not have acted more unjustly in borrowing from him all this little Work and in doing him that justice which is due to his merits than in taking only part of his design for altho' Faber died among those of the Reformed Religion nevertheless there is no Jesuit that can deny him the reputation of a good Grammarian which quality hath been always esteemed to be consistent with that of an ill Roman-Catholick III. Moreover Rodellius contradicts M. Dacier with respect to an explication published by the later on the 6 Verse of the 1 Ode Terrarum Dominos evehit ad Deos which M. Dacier understands not with reference to those that are properly called Gods but concerning those that had obtain'd the prize in the Olympick Games whom Horace else-where stiles Coelestes The Latin Interpretation is consonant to the ordinary acceptation of the words that is to say that they which overcame believ'd that they had acquired a great deal of Honour which might be Hyperbolically termed a Glory
Humors affect the Muscies they cause the Rheumatism and when they fall upon the Joints they breed the Gout Dr. Havers bestows a whole Article (t) p. 223 249. upon both these Distempers and observes that the Humors which infect the Mucilage upon these occasions are of three sorts the one sharp and thin the other salt und the last which are the most usual acid and corroding You will read with delight the Author's manner of explaining the three Sources of these Distempers which gives a great Light to understand their Cure V.

Childe THere are few Books that look more curious to the sight than this The Paper the Print the Figures draw the Eyes of the Reader and there is no body but will give a favourable Judgment of the Work when he reads in the Preface that the Author has been Twenty Years Professor of Anatomy at Amsterdam That he has had all the Conveniencies in the World to make Experiments in the Hospitals of that great City and that he has spent all his Life in making Collections of whatever he has observed most remarkable Upon these Foundations it is that he has rais'd the Hundred Observations which compose the first Part of this Work The Second is a Description of the Author's Study where are to be seen several Rarities of Anatomy Mr. Ruyschius is not of the number of those that build in the Air a Systeme of Physick which has no other Foundation than Chimerical Conjectures He maintains that Experience only is the Mistress of that Art and he advises that Men instead of guessing at the Causes of Diseases should chiefly busie themselves in collecting together the most surprizing Phanomena's that offer themselves in Practice But withal it would be necessary that all who undertake this Employment should have seen every thing with their own Eyes and that they should be endued with a Conception and Judgment so sufficiently clear as not to look upon as extraordinary Accidents Things that happen every day The cutting of an Artery (a) Ob. 11. p. 5. especially in the larger Vessels is an Accident difficult to cure and the Author would have obliged the Publick had he explained a little more at large how he stopt that Aneurisma in the Arm to the Cure of which he says he was an Assistant When he prepared to make the Incision to discover the wounded Artery that he might close it up again he says he made use of an Iron-Ring lin'd with a thick and soft Skin which he intended to apply to the upper part of the Arm above the Aneurisma to stop the motion of the Blood that way That that same Instrument not answering their expectation they had recourse to another which took effect but the Author is so far from describing it that he does not so much as name it In a Journal of Eight Days relating to that Malady which Mr. Ruyschius gives us we find the Wound grew continually worse and worse till it broke out into two new Aneurisma's the one of which being as large as a great Pea open'd it self but bled not much because the Chirurgeon stopt it presently and a few days after it was throughly healed by opening the Vein a slender Diet and a due compression As for the other they had much ado to squeeze it down it continued several days but at length it vanish'd and the Patient recovered Paucis diebus secta Vena tenuiori diaeta praescripta debita compressione facta sanatum fuit Alterum vero Aneurisma quantumvis comprimeretur perplures dies curationi remoram fecit tandem vero quoque disparuit convaluitque aeger It would be a strange Thing (b) Obs 22. p. 27. that a Woman should conceive and yet that the Membrane call'd the Hymen should not be broken But the Relation which Mr. Ruyschius gives us is not sufficient to make us believe it He adds another Circumstance more incredible asserting That the Vagina or Sheath of the Womb was covered and stopped up with an extraordinary Membrane at the Time of the Woman's Lying in He says That these two Membranes were cut and that the Infant came forth sound and vigorous and that the Mother received no harm However in my Opinion there is nothing in this Relation of his but what might have been unfolded without supposing any thing but what is very common The Bed wherein the Foetus is contained and which is made up of several double Membranes sinks down by little and little through the weight of the Waters that fill it Then the Infant separates from the Body of the Mother and falls with his Head downward toward the Orifice of the Womb. Many times it happens that the Foetus falls on the Side and incumbers it self Head and Neck together in the Membranes of its Bed Those it seems were the Membranes which Ruyschius caused to be cut and which hindred the Birth of the Infant At least there is nothing in all his Observation which forces us to have recourse to two such wonderful Events XI Leonardi Plukenetri PHYTOGRAPHIA s●●● Stirpium Illustriorum minùs cognitarum I CONES Tabulis aeneis 120 Fig. fere 800. summâ diligentra elaboratoe Fol.
