His Answer to the Argument from Logick in
this sixth Paragraph.
This, says he, is the same in effect with the former
and requires no new Answer. Because these his
trisling expressions if applied to the separated species
are false, if to Christs Body then they proceed upon a
false supposition, as hath been declared in my An∣swer
to the third Objection.
The Reply.
That this Argument stands upon the same sup∣position
that the former, I grant, But that the
supposition is false I may well deny, having pro∣ved
it true in my Reply to his former Answer.
Nor is this Argument altogether the same in
descriptionPage 132
effect, because it illustrates the grand absurdity of
the opinion it oppugns from new Maximes. So
little tri••ling is the argumentation which I have
here produced. But it is the Policy of my Anta∣gonist
to slight and make himself merry with such
things as are too solid to be really Answered. For
this is succedaneous to a real Confu••ation in the
eyes of the Vulgar, and it may be of more conse∣quence
with them, that are taught not to examine
but believe: In which Method he shows himself
an egregious Artist in his attaque upon my next
Objection, where he begins with some few scoptical
and undervaluing Reflections as he calls them. But
a Man of his parts and wit cannot but know that
they are insignificant to any but the Vulgar, before
whom he thinks it very conducing to seem to
trample on his Antagonist right loftily acting his
part as it were on a Stage.
