Several reasons proving that inoculating or transplanting the small pox, is a lawful practice,…

None but very foolish, and very wicked People will deny the Proposition in this Argument; The Assumption is all that is disputed.

Men of Honour, and Learning, and Incontestable Veracity, not one or two, but a considerable Number of them, agree in the Relation they give us, of it's being used with constant Success in the Levant. It has been used upon vast Multitudes, even many Thousands, and for some Scores of Years: And when regularly used, it yet appears not, that ever one Person miscarried of it, or had the Small Pox after it. We have sufficient Proofs that it is a growing Practice in those Countries. If it had been unsuccessful, or been attended with bad Consequences, it must needs have been put out of Countenance, and have ceased long ago. Such Testimonies on the other side, as our People have been frighted withal, are not worth a Strate. No Man of sense that considers them can lay weight upon them: Ask us not, why we say so!
