Domitian who when he should have turned his face to the right hand where the Sturgeon lay turned it to the left Nam plurima dixit In laevam conversus at illi dextra jacebat Bellu● So that concerning all these invectives I may say sed quid ha● ad Rhombum But what other can be expected ubi furor arma ministrat But seing his Letter shews how sick he is of the plague of malice and envy I am so far from storming at him that I pit● him though he may be a Master and teacher of others and wish him to teach himself Servitium acre Te nihil impellit nec quicquam extrinsecus intrat Quod nervos agitet Sed si intus jecore agro Nafcantur domini quî tu impunitior exis Atque hic quem ad strigiles scutica metus egit herilis That I do not interpret this Reader excuse me for I am speaking I suppose to a Master of an University and a gentleman too of very high pretences as to learning And yet I cannot but think strange of two things F●rst that he returneth not the least Latine sentence in answer to mine no not so much as pertinent language in his Mother-tongue What An Universityman and no return in Latine to these sayings of so grave Authors or at least in pertinent English The other that he no more understands these words as Cicero did Verres tabulis testibus ad singula indicia prolatis than the Curat did the Modicum bonum that he was desired to prepare for the Bishops dinner For whereas he saith as for your Latine sentences where ar our doli and fallaciae tabulae testes sapientia ad quam putamus nos pervenisse To pass the first and last question of which anone the second was most ●mproper for him to ask at me who did put him to it to overthrow the title of my Experiments to wit New not by Sophitry and Non-sense but as Cicero did Verres tabulis testibus ●y proof and Witnesses this he should not have asked but an●wered I am confident a Boy in the second Class could better ●ave understood these words than this man And for the first ●uestion where are our doli and fallaciae Why should he ask it seing the design of his Letter may be evidently seen to put Royal Societies and Universities between him and me in the front whom I have not made my party but to whom I owe all due respect and such a poor pitiful fellow as the Bedale in the Re●r in causing him subscribe his letter thus March 14. 1672. Mr. Patrick Mathers Arch-bedale to the University of St. Andrews Is not this to do as the Butcher did who sought his knife when it was sticking in his teeth If the University ordered this subscription it would have been said at the command of the University If not it cannot be purged from a false insinuation and the University may justly resent it that their publick servant hath been so abused If the fear of a counterblow hath made him afraid to put his hand to it he hath done as the Ape did that thrust the Cats foot into the fire because he durst not do it himself and given a palpable discovery of the diffidence he had of his cause If he hath done it to put indignity on his adversary he hath missed his mark for as a certain Writer saith well Infamy is as it is received If thou be Mud-wall it will stick if Marble it will rebound if thou storm at it it is thine if thou despise it as I do this it is his But besides this he endeavoureth to put Mr. Iames Gregory between him and me also and bringeth him in speaking of my writings with such a deal of disdain and sauciness ut nihil supra What was Mr. Iames Gregory such an eminent person that he could not speak his thoughts himself but needeth you Sir for a Proxy and Chancellour to speak for him If Mr. Iames Gregory will speak to me what you have spoken in his name he shall have an answer But I have no mind to gratify so far your doli and fallacia as to fall on any man upon your word having so little confidence of your common honesty This were perversam gratiam gratificari Wherefore passing his impertinent railings I come to answer what he hath returned to my purposes in my last And that he may get no wrong I shall set down the very words of his Letter viz 〈◊〉 to what you write concerning the imperfections of Sciences the Scientifical pairt of Geographie is so perfected that there is nothing required for the projection description and situation of a place which cannot be done and demonstrat The truth is they have overshot themselves in this though they be ashamed to acknowledge so much for what a pitiful shift is it to bring Geography for an instance of a perfected Science when so much of the Earth remains to this day unknown altogether as the Universal Mapps testify Of the known parts how little is there to this day sufficiently described by the exactest Mapps that time and labours of men have yet produced And now to retort your own question upon your self ubi est sapientia ad quam putatis vos pervenisse O but saith the Author it is perfected as to its scientifical part But I pray you Sir what is this though you may be a teacher of Logick of no small esteem with your self and disdain of others but to play the Sophister by the Fallacy à dicto secundum quid ad dictum simpliciter Geography is perfected as to its scientifical part therefore it may be called a perfected Science when it is so defective as to the Historical part If Astronomy to this day be a Science not perfected through want of its Historical part shall not Geography be so likewise But furder Sir for the Scientif●cal part of Geography which you alledge to be perfected in this also you argue against the rules of Logick in committing that same Fallacy over again for giving and not granting what you say that the Scientifical part of Geography were perfected as to the projection description and situation of a place is it for this perfected as to the Scientifical part simpliciter which you are obliged to prove else you say nothing to the purpose And what I pray you is that poor alleadgence you make in comparison of these things wherein Geography is defective even as to the Scientifical part Who hath spoken yet sufficiently to the surface and hight of the Sea above the Earth the hight of the Hills and Mountains Longitude of places nay the circumference of the Earth it self Answer this question if you can Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth declare if thou knowest it all Job 38. 18. And now Sir I must put you to it again ubi est sapientia ad quam putatis vos perverisse His next answer runneth thus The Scientifical part
