the only course which could "make our peace amongst ourselves constant, was to discipline them well, that they might send out well-principled preachers,"―for no man ever more clearly saw that power can only be maintained by opinion. For if men know not their duty, what is there can force them to obey the laws? An army,' you'll say; but what shall force the army? Were not the Trained Bands an army? Were they not Janizaries that not very long ago slew Osman in his own palace at Constantinople?"

526. "Before the time of Henry III. the Lords were most of them descended from such as in the invasions and conquests of the Germans were Peers and fellow Kings, till one was made King of them all; and their tenants were their subjects, as it is at this day with the lords of France."

The Commons. "I do not find that the end of their summoning was to give advice, but only in case they had any petitions for redress of grievances, to be ready there with them, whilst the King had his Great Council about him."

529. "Both the misfortunes and the misgovernment [of Charles] (if any were) were the faults of the Parliament; who by deny

ing to give him money, did both frustrate his designs abroad, and put him upon those extraordinary ways (which they call illegal) of raising money at home."

532. Hobbes calls Diodorus Siculus "the greatest antiquary perhaps that ever was." 542. The Londoners and other townsmen who fought against Charles "had that in them, which in time of battle is more conducing to victory than valour and experitogether;

543. The King's soldiers, "though they

stout as

were men as their valour was

theirs, yet because not sharpened so with ma

fought not so keenly as their enemies did: amongst whom there were a great many London Apprentices, who, for want of experience in the war, would have been fearful enough of death and wounds approaching visibly in glistering swords; but for want of judgment, scarce thought of such death as comes invisibly in a bullet, and therefore were very hardly to be driven out of the field."

544. He would have had Charles offer no other terms to the Parliament than these, that if they would disband their army, and put themselves upon his mercy, they should find him more gracious than they expected."—" Such his stoutness being known to the people, would have brought to his assistance many more hands than all the arguments of law, or force of eloquence couched in declarations and other writings could have done by far."

549. London. "There can hardly arise a long or dangerous rebellion, that has not some such overgrown city, with an army or two in its belly, to foment it."

568. Salmasius's and Milton's books."They are very good Latin both, and hardly to be judged which is better; and both very ill reasoning, hardly to be judged which is worse; like two declamations pro made for exercise only in a rhetoric school by one and the same man. So like is a Presbyterian to an Independent."

569. "I do not believe that the Independents were worse than the Presbyterians; both the one and the other were resolved to destroy whatsoever should stand in the way to their ambition."

573. Presbyterians who took up the cause of Charles II. 66 They cannot be rightly called loyal, but rather doubly perfidious; unless you think that as two negatives make an affirmative, so two treasons make loyalty."

579. About 1654," There appeared in Cornwall a Prophetess, much famed for her dreams and visions, and hearkened to by

many, whereof some were eminent officers;

but she and some of her accomplices being imprisoned, we heard no more of her."

587. The Long Parliament at the last. "They knew they had acted vilely and sottishly; but because they had always pretended to greater than ordinary wisdom and godliness, they were loth to confess it."

HOPE'S Origin and Prospects of Man.
Vol. 1.

P. 83. “DEITY perhaps chooses under the different peculiar forms it successively assumes, not only to make, but in our name, and under our appearance to receive the peculiar sensations, and even for a time to experience the peculiar ignorance or lack of sensation to which we creatures are liable." | 183. "All substances, gaseous, liquid, and solid whatever, without any exception, must have begun in mere radiance.

219. The dust in apartments a deposit from light!

273. Sound not required in such globes as the sun for the use of their most sentient

tenants.

308. "The earliest and most central globe, heaven; the later and more distant approximation to, or stages of, what we call hell."

332. He rightly concludes that the motion which has been observed in molecules is mechanical, not vital.

Vol. 2.

P. 123. "THE obliquity of our globe's position, and the irregularity of its movements-constitute the Original Sin, from whence its evils of every kind have flown!"

126-7. "No animal or plant can have superfluous limbs, members, or growth of any kind, but as others have too few or too little." “The individual may have more than enough; but the species has not individuals enough distinct from each other to receive all the limbs which have been erected."! Substances are " employed in these super

numerary parts which ought to have been employed in forming certain of the parts necessary to other individuals, which for want of them have not been achieved."

331-2. He is wrong in saying that animals can neither feel love, friendship, or sorrow, in any thing like our sense of the words.

346-7. He believes in dragons and griffins as having heretofore existed.

378. Animal organs only "shifts of nature, originating in the imperfections of this world, which probably in a higher and more perfect globe will no longer be necessary."

383. Many original inferior races of human beings, "their first component elements having been diffused through the atmosphere!" 384-5.

386. "If only one pair, then only one language possible!" Strange reasoning! 389. Mankind at the lowest point where monkey-kind is at its highest," as if in those regions Nature had wasted so much of its richest elements on the brute creation, as to have had but little left to expend on the still higher human race."

415. Primitive perfection of human beings-some higher race of Præadamites.

419. "A few years ago round London there arose on all the apple and pear trees, no doubt from a new re-modification of its atmosphere, a new species of coccus, never seen before, and which I believe had only a short existence."

His whole book assumes the fact of equivocal generation.

Vol. 3.

P. 13. THE more perfect race androgy nous! advantages of this formation!

16. One Maximus Homo, in which all are to terminate, and that Homo androgynous. 239-41-57. 345*.

And this he supports by Scripture. 242-3. And treats as the only possible Resurrection!
