Fol. Ibid. He was bold to say, he hoped to live to see the day when a Minister should be as good a Man as any Jack-Gentleman in En∣gland.] Observator. Our Author telling us this Man was an high Flyer, he gives us some conjecture at the Man he drives at. A Man of an undaunted spirit, and strong resolutions, but not so intemperate in his Words, or unwise in his Actions, as to speak so contemptuously of our English Gentry.

Answer. The Observator hath, I believe, a probable con∣jecture at this high-Flyer; but as to his vindication of him from such distemper in his words or actions, I fear his word will scarce be taken. The truth is, it seems my information was not then so good as since; therefore I have now corre∣cted that expression according to that Authors own copy, ad∣ding upstart to Jack-Gentleman; which argues, I think, not much of the temper or wisedome the Observator cries up in him.
