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

A Common-place-Book Out of the REHEARSAL TRANSPROS'D Digested under these several Heads Viz. His Logick Chronology Wit Geography Anatomy History Loyalty With Useful Notes LONDON Printed for Henry Brome at the Gun at the West end of St. Pauls M. DC LXXIII The Reason of publishing these Papers I had purposed once to have laid by these Papers esteeming them like such which menscrible in a Common-place-book especially when I heard there was an Answer to the Rehearsal Transpros'd in Booksellers hands The Answer is now known by the Title of Rosemary A grave and serious Piece that 's the greatest opposition w ch it maintains against the Transproser excepting that once he ventures at Wit like an Apothecarie as far as his Herbal can furnish him with the qualities of Nettles and Archangel You may lay a Wager on his Name at once reading if you observe how he prides himself in squirting at the Royal Society like Culpeper against the Colledge of Physitians How he strikes at all in his reach how he nips Rosemary with the long nails of his left hand and tears Bays with his right hand and teeth But to give him his due commendation he and one more who hath Natural wit though no Reading parts would make a good Writer It may I think serve as an account why this is published that upon considering the Performances of the Common Enemy to both I did not perceive my Labour was saved or that this small Trifle was forestalled A Common-Place-Book Out of the REHEARSAL TRANSPROS'D Concerning his Title-Page THe Worthy Author that he might not seem a Plagiary doth with much modesty call his Book The Rehearsal willing to intimate that what-ever may be accounted any thing in it was taken from others and that he may more particularly own whence he receiv'd all his Flowers excepting what he calls the Rapping-flower he lets it still keep the old name of the Farce So that a Rehearsal it is and more than so Transpros'd If you ask why Transpros'd I say in his behalf he did it like a Prince to shew the Authority he had to mint words and with an Or to shew what this must pass for But you will say why doth he then discourage Kings from the like Sovereignty If you know not that you are not fit to talk with a Senator It was that he might enjoy the whole peculiar Jurisdiction to himself just as the man disswaded his rich neighbours from the Sin of Vsury that he might have the sole Trade of Extortion He is so kind as to bestow the Impression on the Assigns of Iohn Calvin and Theodore Beza It is a valuable Gift and will bring good profit as other Books which are written against Government or printed in a Corner I hope the Assigns of these first Fathers of the Church are not Ministers if they be Happy had it been for the Nation happy for themselves if they had never been so enriched seeing he observes so many mischiefs that happen by reason of the flourishing condition of Church-men But he meant it kindly and has thanks due for his bounty the more because he is not wholly of their Church yet is he not at all of that Church which was Mother to Sibthorp and Mainwaring Now that the Assigns may have sale for the Book these are to give notice that you may buy it at the Sign of the Kings Indulgence What! do you not understand him you look as strange and simply as if he had told you of the sign of the Counter-Tenor-Voice or of the Noise in the Air whereas the Sign is a fair double Sign The Indulgence is a sign of the Kings Goodness more than their deserts It was a conjectural Sign too of what would follow to wit Preaching and Praying against the established Church though this was strictly forbidden Upon the same Sign-post is drawn the Posture of a Garrison almost forced to a surrendry at last obtraining a Cessation of Arms and in that time fitting it self to repel the Besiegers The sign is large and hath more than that in the Strand containing the several Coats of the 13 Cantons of Switzerland But still you are never the better except you know at what Market Town this new Sign is hung up It is on the South side of the Lake Lemane the Town is better known by the Name of Pure Geneva But now I have told you it is ten to one against you that you find it not It is like Delos a pretty spot of floating Ground only it is not so bold as that to lanch out into the Deep but like a little sneaking By-lander it creeps and coasts about the Shore of the Lake now it is South but by then as you can read about 50 Pages of the Rehearsal Whip it 's got to the West side of the Lemane but the next time we take it there we will get an Archimedes or some Cunning Man to remove and fix it on the South Still I am glad to hear the Kings Indulgence is at Geneva for then his Supremacy must be in the same place and who knows but his best Subjects may do what the rest cannot and prevail with their Dear Brethren but the Project is not worth pursuing 't is a bad Air for Kings and would kill them sooner than the infamous Hundreds or Sheerness But if Monarchie cannot have health yet Indulgence surely will make a good shift among them 't is not to be doubted They will indulge themselves and all others who profess the single and onely Religion of their City but no other can be suffered to be believed and discoursed for they look upon themselves as the True Protestant Dominicans and as the Popish part of that Order have by an old Prescription the principal Power of the Inquisition by the same right doth the other exercise this Authority over all within their reach who believe not that Presbytery is the Government that the Pope is the Antichrist and that a Man is almost no Man They can further justifie themselves by their own great Principle and affirm that they ought not to shew any favour to differing Opinions no though the doubting Persons should come both to their Churches and Sacraments This befitting Gentleness is called a halting betwixt God and Baal a cursed Neutrality a Laodicean Luke-warmness and far from an Ardent Zeal for the Cause of God The Reason upon which they proceed so is this Religion which is an imitation of Him whom they profess to worship requires that they should make their Decrees against men in such a manner as the Dominicans and they do much what alike believe that God enacts in the Case of Absolute Reprobation which Sanction is so farr from any Tenderness or Indulgence that Calvin himself calls his own Doctrine in this Article The Horrid Decree But I had almost forgot one Piece of Toleration which the Rehearser and others report Though there is no Toleration in the Genevian Church yet after Church time on Sundays
