made two or three Lectures upon this point, to whom many flock't

as Auditors; but I thinking they went more for the novelty of the

many as I examined, I found not ſo much as one, who told me not

that he had been a long time of the contrary opinion, but to have

changed it for this, as convinced by the ſtrength of the reaſons
