Lin. 11. Fuliginous spawn of Nature. A rare expression! This Magician has turned Na∣ture into a Fish by his Art. Surely such dreams sloat in his swimmering brains, as in the Prophets, who tels us so Authentick stories of his delicious Albebut.

Lin. 12. The created Matter. Before the Matter was in an hazard of not being crea∣ted but of being of it self eternall. Certainly Eugenius! you abound with leasure that can thus create and uncreate, doe and undoe, be∣cause the day is long enough.

Lin. 21. A horrible confused qualm, &c. Here Nature like a child-bearing woman, has a qualm comes over her stomach, and Eugenius like a man-midwife stands by ve∣ry officiously to see what will become of it. Let her alone, Eugenius! it is but a qualm, Some cold raw rheune. Margret will e∣scape well enough. Especially if her two Handmaids Heat and Siccity doe but help, with their Aquavitae botles. What a rare mode or way of Creation has Eugenius set out? Certainly it cannot but satisfie any unreasonable man, if there be any men without reason. And I begin to suspect there is, for Eugenius his sake, such as feed as savourly on the pure milk of phansie, as the Philosophers Asse on Sow-thistles.
