Text size
Indeed the peevishness, the ill nature, and the ambition of many clergymen has sharpened my spirits perhaps too much against them; so I _warn_ my reader to take all that I say on these heads with some grains of allowance.--_Swift._ I will take his _warning._
P. 4. _Burnet._ Over and over again retouched and polished by me.--_Swift._ Rarely polished; I never read so ill a style.
Ibid. _Burnet._ That thereby I may awaken the world to just reflections on their own errors and follies.--_Swift._ This I take to be nonsense.
