distinguuntur_. The fellows argument was that usual one, _quæ separantur
distinguuntur et hæc_, etc.; the Lad answered by a distinction, _quæ separantur per se verum: per accidens, falsum_; and so they went on. The lad chanced to transmit a proposition one tyme: the fellow in a drollery replied, _si tu transmittas ego--revocabo_. Thus have we dwelt enough on Orleans, its hy tyme for us to leeve it. [76] Blately, modestly. On the 2'd day after this dispute, being the 14 of July wt the French and consequently the 4 wt the Scots, I took boat at Orleans, the Mr. of Ogilvy wt James his man, as also Danglebern accompanieng me to the boat. I left Salt[77] Orleans and sett up for Blois. In the boat among others were 3 of the order of Charité (as they call it) who beginning to sing their redicoulous matins, perceiving that I concurred not wt them, they immediatly suspected me for a Hæretick. One of them put me in mind of honest James Douy not only for his wisage but also for his zeall and ardeur he showed to have me converted and brought back to the mother church. That he seimed to me to personate Mr. Douy not only in his wisage but also in his strickness and bigotry--being oftner in telling of his beads then both his other 2 companions fat-looged stirrows[78] ware--made me fall into the abstract notion that thess who resemble in wisage usually agry in nature and manners, which at that tyme I thought was to be imputed to that influence which the temperament or crasis 4 _primarum qualitatum_ hath on the soull to make it partaker of its nature. [77] Dear, expensive. [78] Fat-eared fellows. I presume that loog is lug, ear. |
