Cicero treated this notion with a "contempt"
which now that Cicero exposes expresses it, our Author
thinks fit to term a "proper" one. And our Author
when in an unlucky hour when Cicero's doctrine out of
his head, and the delirium of orthodoxy
in its he had attempted to revive and play
off this same extravagance by a machinery continuance of its
own, was treated by Dr Priestly and Dr Furneaux
by with a contempt, which I trust
every man of discernment besides thought thinks a proper
one.

With our Author, merit is the never failing
appendage of rank and power add to which and of profession if his own. By knowing
that men were are Peers and Bishops he knew
that they were pious wise and valorous valiant and
that it was for so being these qualities the they became so had their such title..
By knowing that say an there were such men as Lawyers, he knows
that they are were wiser, and able.† † v. p.64. cf "treatises of the learned sages of the profession". p.73 venerable sages of the Law. For our Author
Poetic Calendar Lawyers are as sure to be sage or learned,
as ..... Princesses to be chaste, or
Homer's Hog- feeders to be divine.
Of complements like these it may be said
that those who can satisfy them, deserve them.
Of complementers like these; that those who love to be worshipped
by them, are like unto them."
