SECT. VII.
BUT I shall argue the improbability of it, from Experience, as well as from its proper Causes. Do we not see great variety of judgments, and apprehensions in all parts of Learning and Knowledge? Do not Grammarians differ in the sense and meaning of words, and in the explication of the Idiotisms and peculiarities of the learned Languages? Do not our Mythologists differ in the account they give of the Fables of the Greek and Latin Poets? Do not some Learned Men think that they are (at least many of them) corruptions of the true History of things which we have in the Holy Bible? Hath not the Learned Bochartus among others given very probable reasons for it? and hath not an English Doctor and Divine of our Church derided, and laughed at him for it?
