When will the diversity of opinions concerning the Hebrew Points receive a determination? Capellus in his Arcanum punctationis asserts the novelty of them, so doth our Learned Walton. Buxtorfius Junior asserts them in his Anti Critica, Capellus, defends ⟨p. 28⟩his opinion with acrimony and scorn enough towards his adversary, as may be seen throughout his whole defence; Buxtorfius replies again, and the Controversy is not yet ended, nor I think like to be. These things Create no disputes among Carpenters and Masons, among Plough-men and Carters, and Persons that live in an utter ignorance of them, but they are, and will be controversies among the Learned, till Elijah come.

And are there not as many controversies, varieties, and uncertainties in natural Philosophy, as in what I have already mentioned? are not all things variously argued there, and are not mens Judgments in those matters as multifarious as their Persons in them? Have not Descartes, and some other Philosophers of late overturned the whole System of the Aristotelian Philosophy, and may not others do the like by what they have established, and are there not as great objections lying against their Novel Systems, as against those that they have rejected? Or are the minds of ingenious, and inquisitive men any more satisfied in the one, than in the other?
