Containing also an express Apology for the Quakers p. 55.56 I quote from the second Edition An ACCOVNT OF CHOCOLATA by which he wholly obligeth Manking Pref. p. last An ACCOVNT of M. GREATARICK who wrought real Miracles p. 8.10 And did things that never man did except Christ and the Apostles p. 27. These miraculous things he wrought by the Temperament and Composure of his Body p. 11. And antient Miracles and modern ones have been wrought by the efficacy of a corporal Touch p. 11. This of M.

Hath not Religion and the Church of England think you an excellent Champion in this DEFENDER of M. Hobbs Sir Hen. Uane and the Quakers But lastly He hath writ a SPECIMEN of SOME ANIMADVERSIONS VPON THE PLUS ULTRA OF M. GLANVILL in which he proves That the Antients were able to cure cut fingers as particularly Podalirius and Machaon in Homer and Galen compounded several Medicines to that purpose as Diapalma Tripharmacon and another hard word p. 3. and again 159. That 't is a very difficult Iourney to the Moon and a great way p. 175. and many other things that are as much to his purpose as these as will be shewn in the Sequel For the present I only say concerning this Piece in general That with a great deal of Noise and Labour the Animadverter hath proved nothing For all his Force is imployed either against Castles in the Air of his own raising or incidental passages that are little or nothing to the Cause I undertook and of no concern to the main body of my Book And yet I must confess that when I compare this Adversary with my other Antagonist M. Cross I think there are acknowledgments due to him for the Reading and shew of Learning that I find in his Discourse and I may say of it as one did of an impertinent Disputer that was very brisk and fluent in his Argument Bene disputat sed nihil ad rem But the Papers of my other Assailant deserve not as much as this For they contain nothing but opprobrious Names gross Falshoods and contemptible Puerilities no Learning nor any shew of any but such as a Boy of 18 would despise Thus briefly and in general of the Writings of this Aggressor out of Them I now come to give you some more particular Accounts of his Spirit and Temper And because I resolve to abstain from all Expressions that look like the Rhetorick and Civility of M. Cross and his Champion M. Stubb I shall not give those hard Names to the Qualifications I discover that every man else will think they deserve But only make a kind and sober Enquiry after some of the remarkable Virtues he discloseth in his Works I shall only insist here on two And because he tells his Reader in the first Page of the Preface to his Light shining out of Darkness Edition the first That HE IS ONE THAT DESIRES TO LIE LOW IN HIS OWN EYES I shall begin these Enquiries by taking notice 1. OF his singular Modesty This is exceeding eminent in every Leaf of his Writings In his Attempts while but a Boy upon the Reverend Dr. Wallis and M. Baxter and now he hath made it more remarkable by his Assault upon the Royal Society His Majesties Institution and an Assembly consisting of Persons of the greatest Honour Gravity and Learning while he is yet but a young Country Physician as he styles himself in his Preface against my Book Plus ultra And above all it is notorious what a modest man this is in his early Oppositions of MONARCHY and Proposals of a MODEL for the GOVERNMENT of three Nations and Extirpation of those Antient Laws which had had been made and confirmed by the Wisdom of so many Kings and successive Parliaments in his Impugnations of MINISTRY VNIVERSITIES CHVRCHES HVMANE LEARNING and all ORDERS and CONSTITVTIONS whatsoever as Popish and Antichristian But let us take a view of his singular Humility and Lowness in his own Eyes in some Expressions in his Writings I shall recite a few Instances among numerous others which for Brevity I must omit by which you may judge how he excels in this Virtue In the first Page of his Book against Dr. Wallis in Defence of M. Hobbs He expresseth himself to his Friend in these words I have pen'd a further Discourse upon that Subject which you may suppress from going any further if you find that my early Repute abroad doth not call for the Publication nor the Applause of the Ingenious whose Praises were the more to be regarded because they were directed to the Piece which was publick not the Author that was concealed It seems he had writ an Anonymous Book which he tells the World raised him an early Repute and the Applauses and Praises of the Ingenious Very modest And as lowly is that other Saying p. 5. If I find the Doctor produce more Grammars against us I will allow him two to one and venture my Reputation against his no Credit Great Odds M. Stubb ' s Reputation that early
