Reader, Dost thou know, as a Philosopher, what a man is? and dost thou doubt of ever a word of this? If this Doctor be ignorant of it, had he not been a Doctor, and overgrown Humility and Learning, I might have expected either thanks or silence from him: But what saith the Man to it?
Had this Philosophy been known in St. Paul's days, I should not much have wondered that he warns men against vain Philosophy, (was not Aristotle known in Paul's days?) Aures erigite. The Confutation will come anon.) I shall avoid disputing with Mr. B. as much as I can (too late Sir) and therefore will not quarrel with him for saying, The Soul is Principium motus — to the Body, though it may be some Cartesians will not like it, (Hitherto ⟨p. 15⟩we are quiet: The Doctor is so modest that he will not deny that F•rma is Principium Motus.] And it is but a May be, whether a Cartesian will: I have met lately with University-men, that cried up Cartesius as if they had been quite above Aristotle and Plato; and when I tried them, I found that they knew not what Aristotle or Plato said (nor what Cartesius neither.)
