either true or false if we can suppose the former yet no Discreet man would publickly mention it out of respect to the the Honourable Robe Especiall● this Writer should not have exposed any of that Order seeing he had particularly commended and urged decency of words p. 256. Educat and had declared that it is the part of a Well-bred Man to express a respect to persons according to their Rank and Condition p. 258. But on the other hand if this Imputation be false then he deserves to fall into the hands of those Ministers of Iustice and to be sentenced according to his Crime But I return to his Treatise of Education It is observable that the Softer Sex have found no Protection from this Rough Man He is not only an University Hater but a Hater of Women He exposes the behaviour of two Ladies of Quality that fell out with one an other in Company and relates the Paritculars of it p. 265 266. It is likely that one or both of them have been told of this passage in his book and they can't but think it is an Affront to them and must needs be so far from believing him to have any of that Good Breeding which he pretends to teach the world that they will ra●her stigmatize him as a Scandalous Blab that tells all he hears a Tom Coriat that relates whatever he picks up in his perambulations Joyn this with his Reflections on those Persons of Honour before mention'd and then give me your opinion of the Breeding of our Gensorious Tutour That he hath an Antipathy to the Whole Sex one would guess from what falls from his Pen p. 14. If women were themselves to frame the bodies of their children in their wombs we should certainly have no perfect children born which perhaps may go down very glib with his Admirers but you see he ventures to border upon Prophaneness and Blasphemy rather than he will not express his dislike of the Female Order Whether this be done in revenge to the Sex who generally where some body comes dub him the Hard-favour'd Man and sometimes upon occasion make use of him to scare their Children I will not dispute Or it may be he that hath been used to play with the Young Ones thinks he may make bold to be rude even with the Mothers Else he would not have given them the odious name of Munkies p. 15 and in reproach have called the House of Office Madam Cloacina p. 36. This is the cleanly genteel and polite language of Iohn Lock that writes himself Gent. And this stile and behaviour are the more strange because they are observ'd in one that hath been freely admitted to the Concerns of that Sex I might here harmlesly divert the Reader with his Scotchhoppers and Dibstones p. 115 237 275. with his Documents about Milk-potage and Water-Gruel p. 18. and his teaching Children to evacuate dextrously p 33 to p. 38. Which latter succeeds only when the Party is present it being promoted by his Vespasian-Looks He hath spent some time he saith in the study of Physick p. 40 and especially of the Guts which he very feelingly and concernedly discourses of p. 34 35 36. as if they were that part of the Body which he most minds Which is one reason perhaps why he hates Colledg-Commons and for their sake the Universities But I will not make any farther Additions because I will not prevent my self in what I design at an other time and because what I have before produced out of his Pages is sufficient to convince us what a Talent of Education he hath and how fit a person he is to have Youth committed to his charge He hath been consulted of late he saith by many about the breeding of their children Epist. Ded. but let me request such to consult their Reason and demand of that to tell them whether a Rash Censor of the Studies and Learning of our own Academies whether a Rude Reviler of those in the most Honourable Station whether a Defamer of Laudable Arts whether a Supercilious Innovator and a Fantastick Reformer in the Methods of Teaching and lastly whether a Corrupter of our Holy Faith and a profess'd Depraver of the Chief Articles of the Christian Religion of which I shall speak anon be a person fit to be consulted about the breeding of their Children The Orthodox Parents and I hope we have some of them left in England still will surely be caution'd by this not to commit them to this bold Patron of so Bad a Cause who prides himself in his Heterodoxy and boasts that he hath renounced the receiv'd doctrines of the Christian Church And thus having in a preliminary way descanted on some part of his book concerning Education that the Reader might thence have some insight into the Man I was to deal with I shall proceed now to take notice of his other Papers which relate to Religion for his New Education was in order to the introducing of a New Religion He had spoken before against the Learning in fashion and now he comes to censure the Religion in fashion as he calls it and the Fashionable and Titular Professors of it as he Stiles them p 93 i. e. the establish'd Ministers of it He had shew'd his perverse spirit in his Notions about the breeeding up of Children next he will try how successful he can be in the perverting of Men. He will see what he can do with Grown people as well as with his Young Masters Having taken upon him to reform the Universities and Schools and to cast off their Studies and Learning he is encouraged to go on and to reform Religion and to give us a New Model of Christianity Accordingly he publish'd a Treatise entituled The Reasonableness of Christianity wherein he pretends to teach the world what they have been so long ignorant of viz. that if a man acknowledg a God there is but One Article of Christian Belief which is necessarily required to be embraced by him in order to the constituting him a Christian. As for all other Articles and Doctrines delivered by Christ and his Apostles in the Writings of the New Testament he pronounces them to be unnecessary and useless as to the making a man a Christian and capacitating for Life and Salvation This Novel Conceit which is an unwarrantable Restraining and Confining of the Christian Faith and makes Christianity a far different thing from what it is represented by our Blessed Saviour and his Apostles hath been Vindicated by him once and again And as I thought my self obliged to reflect upon his First Vindication in a Discourse which I published and en●ituled Socinianism Unmask'd so now I am designing to attack his Second Vindication and by exactly setting down his own words which I shall very faithfully do and by impartially examining them to convince the Unbiass'd Reader of the Vanity Weakness and Inconsistency of the Absurdity Falshood and Dishonesty of his Arguing and on the contrary to establish this
