A conglobate gland is a little smooth body, wrapt up in a fine st^in, by which it is separated from all the other parts, only admitting an artery and nerve to pass in, and giving way to a vein and excretory canal to come out. A conglomerate gland is cr-mpcfed of many little conglobate ^/anJj, all tied together. GLANDIFEROUS, a. [ g'ans and fero, Luin.} Bearing mast; beajing acorns. Mortimer.

[in aniarch.'\ Inarcb. ing is a method of grafting, called grafting by approach. This method of grafting is uled when the flock and the tree may be joined : take the branch you would inarch, and, having fitted it to that part of the flock where you intend to join it, pare away the rind and wood on one side about three inches in length : after the same manner cut the fleck or branch in the place where the graft is to be united, fo that they may join equally together that thefap may meet: then cut a little tongue up- wards in the graft, and make a norch ia the flock to admit it J fo that, when they are joined, the tongue will p-event their slipping. In this manner they are to re- main about four months, in which time they will be sufficiently united. The operation is always performed in April or May, and is commonly pradtifed upon oranges, myrtles, jafmines, walnuts, firs, and pines. Miller,. INA'SSTINENCE. /.

To adore that great myftery of divine love, God’s sending his only son into this world to save dinners, and to give hit life a ransom for them, would be noble exercise for the pens of the greatest wits. _ Tillotson's Sermons.

[from flraight.] To make not crooked ; to make flraight. A crooked flick is notftraightened except it be as far bent on the clean contrary side. Hooker. Ot our selves being fo apt to err, the only way which we have to straighten our paths is, by following the rule of his will, whose footsteps naturally are right. Hooker. Strai'ghtness. n.f [fromflraight.] Reflitude; the con¬ trary to crookedness. Some are for mails, as sir and pine, because of their length and flraightness.

The Turks straightway breaking in upon them, made a bloody fight. Knolles. As soon as iron is out of the fire, it deadeth straightways. Bacon's Natural History. The found of a bell is flrong; continueth some time after the percussion ; but ceafeth straightways ifthe bell or firing be touched. Bacon's NaturalHifory. The fun’s power being in those months greater, it then straightways hurries fleams up into the atmosphere. Woodward. To S 1'RAIN. v. a. [eflreindre, French.] 1. To squeeze through something.

Dryden's Aneid. 4. Tofprain; to weaken by too much violence. The jury make no more scruple to pass againfl an Englifhman and the queen, though it be toftrain their oaths, than to drink milk unflrained. Spenser s State ofIreland. Prudes decay’d about may tack. Strain their necks, with looking back. Swift. 5. To put to its utmofl flrength. By this we see in a cause of religion, to how defperate ad¬ ventures men will strain themselves for relief of their own part, having law and authority againfl them. Hooker. Too well I wote my humble vaine, And how my rhimes been rugged and unkempt; Yet as I con my cunning 1 will strain. Spenser. Thus mine enemy fell. And thus I set my foot on’s neck ;—even then The princely blood Hows in his cheek, he sweats. Strains his young nerves, and puts himself in poflure That acts my words. Shakespeare's Cymbeline. My earthly by his heavenly overpower’d, Which it had long flood under,Jlrair!d to th’ height In that celeflial colloquy sublime, As with an objedt that excels the sense, Dazled and spent, sunk down. Milton's Farad. Lost. The lark and linnet sing with rival notes; They strain their warbling throats. To welcome in the spring. Dryden. Nor yet content, sheftrains her malice more, And adds new ills to those contriv’d before. Dryden. It is the worst fort of good husbandry for a father not to strain himself a little for his son’s breeding. Locke. Our words slow from us in a smooth continued flream, without thofeframings of the voice, motions of the body, and majefly of the hand, which are fo much celebrated in the ora¬ tors of Greece and Rome. Atterbury. Strain'd to the root, the flooping forefl pours A ruffling shower of yet untimely leaves. Thomson. 6. To make straitor tense.

According to the primitive meaning, not figurative. Through all the writings of the antient fathers, we see that the words, which were, do continue ; the only dis¬ ference is, that v/hereas before they had a literal, they now have a metaphorical use, and are as fo many notes of re¬ membrance unto us, that what they did signify in the letter, is accomplished in the truth. _ Hooker, b. iv. A foundation, being primarily of use in architedure, hath no other literal notation but what belongs to it in relation to an house, or other building, nor figurative, but what is sounded in that, and deduced from thence. Hammond. 2. Following the letter, or exad words. The fitteft for publick audience are such as, following a middle course between the rigour of literal tranflations and the liberty of paraphrafts, do with greater Ihortness and plainnels deliver the meaning. . _ Hooker, b. v. 3. Consisting of letters ; as, the literal notation of numbeis was known to Europeans before the cyphers. LiTeral.n.fi Primitive or literal meaning.

[Ionian, Saxon; lager, French.] 1. To place in a temporary habitation. When he was come to the court of France, the king stiled him by the name of the duke of York; lodged him, and accommodated him, in great state. Bacon's He?iry VII, 2. To afford a temporary dwelling; to supply with harbour for a night. Ev’ry house was proud to lodge a knight. Dryden. 3. To place ; to plant. When on the brink the foaming boar I met, And in his side thought to have lodg'd my spear, The defp’rate savage rush’d'within my force, And bore me headlong with him down the rock. Otivay. He lodg'd an arrow in a tender breast, That had fo often to his own been preft. Addison s Ovif. In viewing again the ideas that are lodged in the memory, the mind is more than paslive. Locke. 4. To six ; to settle. f By whose fellworking I was first advanc’d, And by whose pow’r I well might lodge a sear To be again difplac’d. Shakespeare. . I can give no reason, More than a lodg'd hate, and a certain loathing I bear Antonio. Shakespeare's Merck, of Venice. 5. To place in the memory. . This cunning the king would not underfland, though he lodged it, and noted it, in some particulars. Baton's H. VII. 6. To harbour or cover. The deer is lodg'd, I’ve track’d her to her covert; Rush in at once. Addison's Cato. 7. To afford place to. The memory can lodge a greater store of images, than all the senses can present at one time. Cheyne's Phil. Principles. 8. To lay flat. Though bladed corn be lodg'd, and trees blown down. Though caftles topple on their warders heads. Shakesp. We’ll make foul weather with defpiled tears ; Our fighs, and they, shall lodge the Summer corn. And make a dearth in this revolting land. Shakespeare. Lodging, n.f. [from lodge.] 1. Temporary habitation ; rooms hired in the house of another. I will in Caflio’s lodging lose this napkin, And let him find it. Shakespeare's Othello. Let him change his lodging from one end of the town to another, which is a great adamant of acquaintance. Bacon. At night he came To his known lodgings, and his country dame. Dryden. He desired his sister to bring her away to the lodgings of his friend. Addisons Guardian, N°. 155. Wits take lodgings in the found of Bow. Pope. 2. Place of residence. Fair bosom fraught with virtue’s richeft treasure, The nest of love, the lodging of delight, The bower of blifs, the paradise of pleasure. The sacred harbour of that heavenly spright. Spenser. 3. Harbour; covert. The hounds were uncoupled; and the flag thought it bet¬ ter to trust to the nimbleness of his feet, than to the slender fortisication of his lodging. Sidney. 4. Convenience to deep on. Their feathers serve to fluff* our beds and pillows, yielding us sost and warm lodging. Ray on Creation. Lost. n.f. [lloft, Welsh; or from lfti\ Bacon. A floor.

Palling through the spheres of watchful fire. And hills of snow, and lofts of piled thunder. A weafel once made shist to flink In at a corn lost, through a chink. Log. n.f. [The original of this word is not known. Skinner derives it from hjjan, Saxon, to lie; Junius from logge, Dutch, sluggish; perhaps the Latii\ lignum, is the true ori¬ ginal.] A lhapeless bulky piece of wood. Would the light’ning had Burnt up those logs that thou’rt injoin’d to pile. Shakesp. The worms with many feet are bred under logs of timber* and many times in gardens, where no logs are. Bacon. Some log, perhaps, upon the waters swam. An useless drift, which rudely cut within, And hollow’d first a floating trough became, dr.c cross some riv’let pasl’age did begin. Dryden. The frighted dame The log in secret lock’d. Dryden's Ovid. 2. An Hebrew measure, which held a quarter of a cab, and consequently sive-fixths of a pint. According to Dr. Ar¬ buthnot it was a liquid measure, the seventy-second part of the bath or ephah, and twelfth part of the hin. Calmet. A meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil. Lev. xiv. 10. Logarithms, n. f. [logarithme, Fr. Xoyog and dlp&poc.] Logarithms, which are the indexes of the ratio’s of num¬ bers one to another, were first invented by Napier lord Merchifon, a Scottish baron, and afterwards completed by Mr. Briggs, Savilian professor at Oxford. They are a series of artificial numbers, contrived for the expedition of calculation, and proceeding in an arithmetical proportion, as the numbers they answer to do in a geometrical one : for instance, Where the numbers above, beginning with (0), and arith¬ metically proportional, are called logarithms. The addition and fubtraftion of logarithms answers to the multiplication and division of the numbers they correspond with ; and this faves an infinite deal of trouble. In like manner will the extrac¬ tion of roots be performed, by difledling the logarithms of any numbers for the square root, and trifeefting them for the cube, and fo on. Harris. Lo'ggat^. n.f. Loggdts is the ancient name of a play or game, which is one of the unlawful games enumerated in the thirty-third statute of Henry VIII. It is the same which is now called kit— tiepins, in which boys often make use of bones instead of wooden pins, throwing at them with another bone instead of bowling. Hanmer. Did these bones cost no more the breeding, but to play at loggats with them. Shakespeare's Hamlet. Logically, adv. [from logical.] According to the laws of logick. How can her old good man With honour take her back again ? From hence I logically gather. The woman cannot live with either. Prior. Logician, n.f. [logicien, French; logicus, Latin.] A teacher or professor of logick; a man versed in logick. If a man can play the true logician, and have as well judg¬ ment as invention, he may do great matters. Bacon. If we may believe our logicians, man is distinguished from all other creatures by the faculty of laughter. Addison. Each {launch polemick stubborn as a rock, Each fierce logician still expelling Locke, Came whip and spur. Dunciad, b. iv. A logician L O L LON A logician might put a case that would fervc for an excep¬ tion. Swifti The Arabian phyficians were subtile men, and molt of them logicians-, accordingly they have given method, and filed subtilty upon their author. Baker. Loin. n.f. [llwyn, Welfti.] y 1. The back of an animal carved out by th/t butcher. 2. Loins ; the reins. My face I’ll grime with filth. Blanket my loins. Shakespeare’s King Lear. Thou fiander of thy heavy mother’s womb !

Milton’s Par. Lofl, b. xii. A multitude ! like which the populous north Pour’d never from her frozen loins, to pass Rhene, or the Danaw, when her barbarous sons Came like a deluge on the south. Milton. To LOLL. v. n. [Of this word the etymology is not known. Perhaps it might be contemptuously derived from lollard, a name of great reproach before the reformation; of whom one tenet was, that all trades not neceflary to life are un¬ lawful.] I. To lean idly; to rest lazily against any thing. So hangs, and lolls, and weeps upon me; fo shakes and pulls me. Shakespeare’s Othello. He is not lolling on a lewd love bed, But on his knees at meditation. Shakesp. Rich. III. (_ lose by a foftly murm’ring stream, Where lovers us’d to loll and dream. Hudibras, p. i. To loll on couches, rich with cytron steds, And lay your guilty limbs in Tyrian beds. Dryden. Void of care he lolls supine in state, And leaves his bufinels to be done by sate. DrycL Perf. But wanton now, and lolling at our ease, We fufter all the invet’rate ills of peace. Dryden, A lazy, lolling fort Of ever liftless loit’rers. ° Dunciad, b. Wi 2. To hang out. Used of the tongue hanging out in weariness or play. The triple porter of the Stygian seat, With lolling tongue lay fawning at thy feet. Dryden. With harmless play amidft the bowls he pass’d. And with his lolling tongue allay’d the taste. Drydem Lomp. n.f. A kind of roundilh filh. Lone. adj. [contracted from alone.] 1. Solitary. Here the lone hour a blank of life difpla^s. Savage, Tlius vanilh feeptres, coronets and balls, And leave you in lone woods, or empty walls. Pope. 2. Single ; without company. ^ . No lone house in Wales, with a mountain and a rookery, is more contemplative than this court. p0L Lo neliness. n.f [from lonely.] Solitude; want of compa¬ ny ; disposition to avoid company. r The huge and sportful afibmbly grew to him a tedious loneliness, efteeming nobody found since Daiphantus was lost. Sidney* I see The myftery of your loneliness, and find Your fait tears head. Shaieffmre. Lonely, adj. [from lone.] Solitary; addicted to solitude. I go alone, Like to a lonely dragon; that his sen Makes sear’d and talk’d of more than seen. Shakesp. Why thus close up the liars That nature hung in heav’n, and fill’d their lamps With everlafting oil, to give due light To the milled and lonely traveller, Milton. Time has made you dote, and vainly tell Of arms imagin’d, in your lonely cell. Dryden’s /En. When, faireft princess, You lonely thus from the full court retire, Love and the graces follow to your solitude. Rowe. Loneness. n. f. [from Mi?.] Solitude; dillike of company. If of court life you knew the good, You would leave loneness. Donne. I can love Her who loves loneness best. * Donne. Long. adj. [long, French ; longus, Latin.] 1. Not shiort.

Brown's Vulgar Errours, b. vii. LongTmetry. n.f [longus and j longimetrie, French.] The art or practice of measuring distances.

Sidney. I have a woman’s longings An appetite that I am lick withal. To see great Hedfor in the weeds of peace. Shakespeare The will is left to the pursuit of nearer fatisfaftions', and to the removal of those uneafinefles which it then feels in its want of, and longings after, them. Locke. LONGITUDE, n.f.

The Erse im¬ ports some degree of knavery, but then it is used in a ludi¬ crous sense, as in English, you pretty rogue; though in ge¬ neral it denotes reproachful heaviness, or stupid lazin.ess, Spender's Scholiaft says, loord was wont, among the old Bri¬ tons, to signify a lord ; and therefore the Danes, that ufurped their tyranny here in Britain, were called, for more dread than dignity, lurdans, i. e, lord Danes, whose insolence and pride was fo outrageous in this realm, that if it fortunqd a Briton to be going over a bridge, and saw the Dane set foot, upon the same, he mull return back till the Dane was clean over, else he must abide no less than present death : but be¬ ing afterward expelled, the name of lurdane became fo odious unto the people whom they had long oppreffed, that, even at this day, they use for more reproach to call the quartan acme the fever lurdane. So far the Scholiaft, but eryoneoufly. From Spenser s own words, it lignifies something of stupid dulness rather than magisterial arrogance. Macbean.] A drone.

The Hebrews, who had been acquainted with the last mentioned fort of manna, when they found a miraculous food in the desert resembling it, did not scruple to call it manna : this was a conjecture the more natural to them, as they saw plainly that this defeended from the heavens in form of a dew, and concreted into the globules in which they found it; and the received opinion at that time was, that the Oriental manna Was formed in the same manner; that it was a dew from the clouds concreted on the plant, none supposing, in those early times, that it was the natural juice of the shrub upon which it was found : it is however evident, that this was not of the nature of manna, because it melted away as the fun grew hot, whereas manna hardens in that heat. It is but lately that the world were convinced of the mistake of ?nanna being an aerial produce, by an experiment being made by covering a tree with sheets in the manna season, and the find¬ ing as much manna on it afterwards as on those which were open to the air and dew. Manna is celebrated, both by the ancients and moderns, as a gentle and mild cathartick. Hill. It would be well inquired, whether manna doth fall but upon certain herbs, or leaves only. Bacon’s Nat.

[nianiir\ old French; manerium, low Latin; maner, Armorick.] Manor signisies, in common law; a rule or government which a man hath over luch as hold land within his see. Touch¬ ing the original of these manors, it seems, that, in the begin¬ ning, there wad a certain compass or circuit of ground grant¬ ed by the king to some men of worth, for him and his heirs to dwell upon, and to exercise some jurifdfcftion, more or less, within that compass, as he thought good to grant; per¬ forming him such ferviccs, and paying luch yearly rent for the same, as he by his grant required : and that afterward this great man parcelled his land to other meaner men, in¬ joining them again such services and rents as he thought good ; and by that means, as he became tenant to the king; fo the inferiors became tenants to him : but those great men, or their posterity, have alienated these manlions and lands fa given them by their prince, and many for capital offences haye forfeited them to the king; and thereby they still re¬ main in the crown, or are bellowed again upon others. But wholoever poffefles theft inanors, the liberty belonging to them is real and predial, and therefore remains, though the owners be changed. In these days, a manor rather signisies the jurifdidlion and royalty incorporeal, than the land or site: for a man may have a manor in gross, as the law terms it, that is, the right and interest of a court-baron, with the perquifites thereto belonging.

[morbilli, Latin.] Meafes are a critical eruption in a fever, well known in the common practice, and bear this name, which is a dimi¬ nutive of morbus, becaufc it hath been accounted a lpecies of such malignant and peftilential fevers, to which comparalively this is fo in a much inferior degree. Quincy. My lungs Coin words till their decay, against those meafes, Which we disdain stiould tetter us, yet seek The very way to catch them. Shakespeare's Coriolanus. Before the plague of London, inflammations of the lungs were rise and mortal, as likewise the meafes. Arbuthnot, 2. A disease of swine.

A concave measure, of known and denominated capacity, serves to measure the capacioufness of any other veslel. Holder. All magnitudes are capable of being measured; but it is the application of one to another which makes acftual meaJures.

More, I expedt, from those thatjudge by first sight and ralh mea~ fares^ to be thought fond or insolent. Glanvilie’s Seep. 3. Proportion; quantity settled. Measure is that which perfecteth all things, because every thing is for some end; neither can that thing be available to any end, which is not proportionable thereunto; and to pro¬ portion as well excefles as defedls are opposite. Hooker, I enter not into the particulars of the law of nature, or its jneafures of punishment; yet it is certain there is such a law. Locke, 4. A stated quantity: as, a measure of wine.

If else thou seek’st Ought, not furpafling human measure, say. Milton, Our religion sets before us not the example of a stupid stoick, who had, by 'obstinate principles, hardened himself against all pain beyond the common mcafures of humanity, but an example of a man like ourlelves. Tillotson's Sermons, 7. Degree. I have laid down, in some measure, the defeription of the old world. Abbot's Dejcription of the World. There is a great measure of diferetion to be used in the per¬ formance of confdfion, fo that you neither omit it when your 10 G own ' M'E A own heait may tell you that there is something amiss, nor over-scrupuloufly pursue it when you are not conscious to yourself of notable failings.

My legs can keep no measure in delight. When my poor heart no measure keeps in grief: Therefore no dancing, girl, some other sport. Shakesp. As when the {tars in their aethereal race. At length have roll’d around the liquid {pace. From the same point of heav’n their course advance. And move in 7neafures of their former dance. Dryden. 10. A {lately dance. This sense is, I believe, obsolete. Wooing, wedding, and repenting, is as a Scotch jig, a measure and a cinque pace; the firlt suit is hot and hasty, like a Scotch jig, and full as fantastical; the wedding mannerly, modest as a measure, full of Hate and anchentry. Shakespeare. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our stern alarms chang’d to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful measures. Shakespeare. 11. Moderation; not excess. O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy ; In measure rein thy joy, scant this excess ; I feel too much thy blessing, make it less. For sear I surfeit. Shakesp. Merchant of Venice. Hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure. hfa. vi. 14. 12. Limit; boundary.

He only lived according to nature, the other by ill customs, and measures taken by other mens eyes and tongues. Taylor's holy living. Christ reveals to us the measures according to which God will proceed in dilpenfing his rewards. Smalridge's Sermons. 14. Syllables metrically numbered ; metre. I addrefled them to a lady, and aftedted the softness of expression, and the smoothness of measure, rather than the height of thought. Dryden. The numbers themselves, though of the heroick measure, should be the fmootheft imaginable. Pops. 15. Tune; proportionate notes. The joyous nymphs and light-foot fairies. Which thither came to hear their musick sweet, And to the measures of their melodies Did learn to move their nimble-shifting feet. Spenser. 16. Mean of adtion ; mean to an end.

[milbeape, Saxon.] Mildew is a disease that happens in plants, and is caused by a dewy moidure which falls on them, and continuing, for want of the fun’s heat, to draw it up, by its acrimony cor¬ rodes, gnaws, and spoils, the inmod fubdance of the plant, and hinders the circulation of the nutritive sap ; upon which the leaves begin to fade, and the blodoms and fruit are much prejudiced : or, mildew is rather a concrete fubdance, which exfudes through the pores of the leaves. What the garden¬ ers commonly call mildew is an infeed, which is frequently found in great plenty, preying upon this exsudation. Others say, that mildew is a thick, clammy vapour, exhaled in the Spring and Summer from the plants, blodoms, and even the earth itself, in close, dill weather, where there is neither fun enough to draw it upwards to any considerable height, nor wind of force drong enough to disperse it: it condenfes and falls on plants, and with its thick, clammy fijbdance dops the pores, and by that meansprevents perspiration. Miller thinksthe truecaufe of the mildew appearing mod upon plants which are exposed to the Lad, is a dry temperature in the air when the wind blows from that point, which dops the pores of the plants, and prevents their perspiration; whereby the juices of the plants are concreted upon the surface of their leaves, which being of a sweetidi nature, infeeds are indeed thereto, where find¬ ing proper nutriment they depofite their eggs, and multiply fo sad as to cover the whole surfaces of the plants, and, by corroding the veiled, prevent the motion of the sap. It is observable, that whenever a tree has been greatly adecled by this ?nildcw, it seldom recovers it in two or three years, and many times never is intirely clear from it after. Hill.

It pafles through the condellations of Caffiopeia, Cygiius, Aquila, leilcus, Andromeda, part of Ophiucus and. Gemini, in the northern hemifphere ; and in the louthern it takes in part of Scorpio, Sagittarius, Centaurus, the Argo Navis and the Ara. 1 he galaxy hath usually been the re¬ gion in which new dars have appeared ; as that in Caffiopeia, which was seen in A.

Swift. MINIUM, n. f. [Latin.] Melt lead in a broad earthen vessel unglazed, and stir it continually till it be calcined into a grey powder ; this is called the calx of lead ; continue the fire, stirring it in the same manner, and it becomes yellow; in this state it is used in painting, and is called mallicot or mafficot; after this put it into a reverberatory furnace, and it will calcine further, and become of a fine red, which is the common minium or red lead : among the ancients minium was the name for cin¬ nabar : the modern minium is used externally, and is excel¬ lent in cleansing and healing old ulcers. Hill's Mat. Med. Mino'rity. n.f. [minority Fr. from minor, Latin.] 1. The state of being under age. I mov’d the king, my master, to speak in the behalf of my daughter, in the minority of them both. Shakespeare, He is young, and his minority Is put into the trust of Richard Glofter. Shakespeare. These changes in religion stiould be staid, until the king were of years to govern by himself: this the people appre¬ hending worse than it was, a question was raised, whether, during the king’s minority, such alterations might be made or no. Hayward's Edzu. VI; Henry the Eighth, doubting he might die in the minority of his son, procured an adt to pass, that no statute made during the minority of the king should bind him or his fucceffors, ex¬ cept it were confirmed by the king at his full age. But the first adt that passed in king Edward the Sixth’s time, was a repeal of that former adl; at which time nevertheless the king was minor. Bacon's Henry VII. If there be evidence, that it is not many ages since nature was in her minority, this may be taken for a good proof that fire is not eternal. Burnet's Theory of the Earth. Their counfels are warlike and ambitious, though something tempered by the minority of their king. Temple. 2. The state of being less.

The smaller number : as, the minority held for that question in opposition to the majority. MINOR, adj. [Latin.] 1. Petty; inconliderable.

They altered this custom from cases of high concernment to the molt trivial debates, the minor part ordinarily entering their proteff. Clarendon.

Minora'tion. n.f. [from minorate.] The adt of lessening ; diminution ; decrease. A word not admitted. Bodies emit virtue without abatement of weight, as is most evident in the loadftone, whose efficiences are communicable without a minoration of gravity. Broilin's Vulgar Errours.

Bentley's Sermons. Mira'culoUS. adj. [miraculeux, Fr. from miracle.] Done by miracle ; produced by miracle ; efFe&ed by power more than natural. Arithmetical progreflion might easily demonftrate how fall mankind would increase, overpaying as miraculous, though indeed natural, that example of the Ifraelites, who were mul¬ tiplied in two hundred and fifteen years from seventy unto six hundred thousand able men.

Her son tracing the defart wild, All his great work to come before him set, How to begin, how to accomplifh bed, His end of being on earth, and mission high. Milt. Pa. Reg. The divine authority of our mission, and the powers veded in us by the high-pried of our profedion, Chrid Jefus, are publickly disputed and denied. Atterbury. 2. Persons sent.on any account, usually to propagate religion. In these ships there should be a mission of three of the bre¬ thren of Solomon’s house, to give us knowledge of the sciences, manufactures, and inventions of all the world, and bring us books and paterns; and that the brethren should day abroad till the new mission. Bacon’s New Atlantis. 3. Difmiflion ; difeharge. Not in use. In Cesar’s army, somewhat the soldiers would have had, yet only demanded a mission or difeharge, though with no in¬ tention it should be-granted, but thought to wrench him to their other desires ; whereupon with one cry they asked mis¬ sion.

And rnifls condens’d to clouds obseure the sky. And clouds diflolv’d, the thirfty ground supply. Roscommon. As a mifl is a multitude of small but solid globules, which therefore defeend ; fo a vapour, and therefore a watry cloud, is nothing else but a congeries of very small and concave glo¬ bules, which therefore alcend to that height, in which they are of equal weight with the air, where they remain suspended, till by some motion in the air, being broken, they de¬ feend in solid drops; either small, as in a miss or bigger, when many of them run together, as in rain. Grew. But hov’ring rnifls around his bfows are spread, And night with sable lhades involves his head. Dr:den. A cloud is nothing but a mifl flying high in the air, "as a mifl is nothing but a cloud here below. Locke. 2. Any thing that dims or darkens. My peoples eyes were once blinded with such rnifls of suspicion, they are soon milled into the most defperate actions. King Charles.

The towns, neither of the one side nor the other, willingly opening their gates to Grangers, nor strangers willingly en¬ tering for sear of being mifaken. Sidney. These did truly apprehend a great affinity between their practice of invocation of saints and the heathen idolatry, or else there was no danger one Ihould be mijiaken for the other. Stillingjleet. This if negle&ed will make the reader very much mi/take, and' mifunderftand his meaning, and render the sense very perplexed. Locke. Fancy passes for knowlege, and what is prettily said is mijtaken for solid. Locke. Fools into the notion fall, That vice or virtue there is none at all : Ask your own heart, and nothing is fo plain, ’Tis to mijiake them costs the time and pain. To Mista'ke. v. n.

Infallibility is an absolute security of the understanding from all possibility of mijiake in what it believes. Tillotson. Those terrors are not to be charged upon religion, which proceed either from the want of religion, or superstitious miftakes about it. Bentley's Sermons. Mista'kingly. adv.

Bacon s Nat. Hf. N°. 91. Mi'stion. n.f [from mifus, Latin.] The state of being mingled. In animals manya£lion« are mixt, and depend upon their living form as well as that of mifion, and though they wholly leem to retain linto the body, depart upon disunion. Browne.

[inypreltan, Saxon; mifel, Danish, bird¬ lime, and tan, a twig.] A plant. The flower of the mijlletoe consists of one leaf, which is Ihaped like a bason, divided into four parts, and beset with warts ; the ovary which is produced in the female flowers is placed in a remote part of the plant from the male flowers, and consists of four shortcr leaves; this becomes a round berry full of a glutinous substance, inclosing a plain heart-shaped seed : this plant is always produced from seed, and is not to be cultivated in the earth, as most other plants, but will always grow upon trees; from whence the ancients account¬ ed it a luper-plant, who thought it to be an excrescence on the tree without the seed being previously lodged there, which opinion is now generally confuted. The manner of its pro¬ pagation is as follows, viz. the mifetoe thrufti, which seeds upon the berries of this plant in winter when it is ripe, doth open the seed from tree to tree ; for the viscous part of the berry, which immediately furrounds the seed, doth sometimes fallen it to the outward part of the bird’s beak, which, to get disengaged of, he strikes his beak at the branches of a neighbouring tree, and fo leaves the seed flicking by this vif¬ cous matter to the bark, which, if it lights upon a linooth part of the tree, will fallen itself, and the following winter put out and grow: the trees which this plant doth most rea¬ dily take upon are the apple, the alh, and some other linooth rind trees: it is observable, that whenever a branch of an oak tree hath any of these plants growing upon it, it is cut off, and preserved by the curious in their collections of na¬ tural curiosities. Miller. If snowe do continue, sheepe hardly that fare Crave mifle and ivie for them for to spare. Tujfer’s Hufb. A barren and detefted vale, you see it is : The trees, though Summer, yet forlorn and lean, O’ercome with moss, and baleful mijfelto. Shakespeare. Mijfeltoe groweth chiefly upon crab trees, apple trees, some¬ times upon hazles, and rarely upon oaks; the mijfeltoe whereof is counted very medicinal: it is ever green Winter and Sum¬ mer, and beareth a white gliftering berry; and it is a plant utterly differing from the plant upon which it groweth. Bacon. All your temples strow With laurel green, and lacred mifeioci Gay's Trivia. To Mistru'st. v.a. [mis and trust.] Tofufpedl; to doubt; to regard with diffidence.

Loud howling wolves arouse the jades, That drag the tragick melancholy night; Who with their drowsy, slow, and flagging wings Clip dead mens graves ; and from their misty jaws Breathe foul contagious darkness in the air. Shakespeare. Parents overprize their children, while they behold them through the vapours of affedlion which alter the appearance, as things seem bigger in misty mornings. Wotton.

Machiavel makes it appear, that the weakness of Italy, which was once fo strong, was caused by the corrupt prac¬ tices of the papacy, in depraving and miffing religion. South's Sermons. To Misunderstand, v.a. [mis and understand.] To mifconceive; to mistake. The words of Tertullian, as they are by them alledged, are mfunderjlood. Hooker, b. ii. He failed in distinguishing these two regions, both called Eden, and he altogether mfunderjlood two of the four rivers. Raleigh's Hist. of the IForld. In vain do men take fandluary in such mifunderflood expressions as these ; and from a false persuasion that they cannot reform their lives never go about it. South. This if it be neglected, will make the reader very much mistake and mij,understand his meaning. Locke. Were they only designed to inftrubt the three succeeding generations, they are in no danger of being mfunderjlood. Addison on ancient Medals. The example of a good man is the best dire&ion we can follow in the performance of our duty; the most exadt rules and precepts are fubjedt to be mfunderjlood; some at least will mistake their meaning.

Holder's Elements of' Speech. The phaefiomena of colours in refradled or reflebled light, are not caused by new modifications of the light variously impressed, according to the various terminations of the light and shadow. Newton's Opticks. If these powers of cogitation, volition and sensation, are neither inherent in matter as such, nor acquirable to matter by any motion and modification of it, it neceflarily follows that they proceed from some cogitative substance, some in¬ corporeal inhabitant within us, which we call spirit. Bentley. To Mo'dify. v. a. [^modifier, French.] 1. To change the form or accidents of any thing; to shape. Yet there is that property in all letters, of aptness to be conjoined in syllables and words through the voluble motions of the organs, that they modify and diferiminate the voice without appearing to difeontinue it. Holder" She middle parts of the broad beam of white light which fellupon the paper, did, without any consine of shadow to modify it, become coloured all over with one uniform colour, the colour being always the same in the middle of the paper as at the edges. Newton's Opticks. 2. To sosten ; to moderate. After all this dilcanting and modifying upon the matter, there is hazard on the yielding side. L'Efrange.

Mo'dish. adj. stormnode.'] Fashionable; formed according to the reigning custom. But you, perhaps, expe£t a modish feafl. With am’rous songs, and wanton dances grac’d. Dryd.

Mo'dwall. n.f A bird. -Ainf Mo'iety. n. f [moitie,, French, from moicn, the middle.] Half; one of two equal parts. . . This company being divided into two equal moieties, the one before, the other since the coming of Christ; that part which, since the coming of Christ, partly hath embraced, and partly shall embrace, the Christian religion, we term as by a more proper name, the church of Christ.

[mumie, Fr. mumia, Lat. derived by Salmafius from amomum, by Bochart from the Arabick.] I.A dead body preserved by the Egyptian art of embalming. We have two different substances preserved for medicinal use under the name of mummy: one is the dried flesh of hu¬ man bodies embalmed with myrrh and spice ; the other is the liquor running from such mummies when newly prepared, or when artedled by great heat, or by damps : this is sometimes of a liquid, sometimes of a solid form, as it is preserved in vials well flopped, or luffered to dry and harden in the air: the firrt kind is brought to us in large pieces, of a lax and friable texture, light and spungy, of a blackish brown colour, and often black and clammy on the surface; it is of a flrong but not agreeable smell: the second fort, in its liquid Hate, is a thick, opake, and viseous fluid, of a blackish and a flrong, but not disagreeable smell: in its indurated llate it is a dry, solid substance, of a fine shining black co¬ lour and close texture, easily broken, and of a good smell : this- fort is extremely dear, and the firrt fort fo cheap, that as all kinds of mummy are brought from Egypt we are not to imagine it to be the ancient Egyptian mummy. What out druggifts arc supplied with is the flesh of executed criminals, or of any other bodies the Jews can get, who fill them with the common bitumen fo plentiful in that part of the world, and adding aloes, and some other cheap ingredients, send them to be baked in an oven till the juices are exhaled, and the embalming matter has penetrated fo thoroughly that the flesh will keep. Mummy has been ertecined refolvent and balfamick ; and besides it, the skull, and even the moss grow¬ ing on the skulls of human skcletons, have been celebrated for antiepileptick virtues; the fat also of the human body has been recommended in rheumatifms, and every other part or humour have been in repute for the cure of some disease: at present we are wise enough to know, that the virtues aferibed to the parts of the human body are all either imaginary, or such as may be found in other animal substances : th& mummy and the skull alone of all these horrid medicines retain their places in the shops. Hill's Mat. Med. The silk Was dy’d in mummy, which the skilful Conferv’d of maidens hearts. Shakesp. Othello.

NI'TRE. n.f [nitre, Fr. nitrum, Latin.] The fait which we know at this time, under the name of nitre or salt-petre, is a crystalline pellucid, but somewhat whitish substance, of an acrid and bitterish taste, impressing a peculiar sense of coldness upon the tongue. This fait, though it affords, by means of fire, an acid spirit capable of dissolving almost every thing, yet manifefts no sign of its containing any acid at all in its crude state. Nitre is of the number of those salts which are naturally blended in imper¬ ceptible particles in earths, stones, and other foffile substances, as the particles of metals are in their ores : it is sometimes however found pure, in form of an efflorefcence, either on its ores or on the surface of old walls ; these efflorefcences dissolved in proper water, {hooting into regular and proper cryftals of nitre. That th.is fait should be found on the surface of walls is not wonderful, since it is found only on or near the surface of the earth where it is produced. The earth from which nitre is made, both in Persia and the East-Indies, is a kind of yellowilh marl found in the bare cliffs of the sides of hills exposed to the northern and eastern winds, and never in any other situation. From this marl the fait is separated by water ; but the cryftals into which it {hoots, as we receive them from the East-Indies, are small, imperfect, and impure. Earths of whatever kind, moiftened by the dung and excrement of animals, frequently afford ni¬ tre in large quantities. The earths at the bottom of pigeonhoufes, and those of stables and cow-houses, all afford nitre, on being thrown into water and boiled. In France, where very little nitre is imported, they make it from the rubbish of old mortar and plaister of buildings; and the mortar of old walls with us, if moiftened with urine and exposed to the air in a proper situation that is open to the north east, and covered over to defend it from wet, never sails to afford nitre in a few weeks, and that in proportion of one tenth of the weight of the ingredients. There is no question but a manufactory of nitre might be established in England to as much advantage as that of France. The place where the materials are exposed, is to be carefully examined. It must be moderate as to the great points of moisture and dryness; if there be too much moisture the nitre which is already formed will be washed away, and without some moisture the salts will hardly be ever formed. Heat and coldness, unless excessive, can be of no consequence. It is on account of the requifiteness of fo certain a degree of moisture to the materials from which nitre is obtained, that the north east winds are of fo much use in the production of it. In spring and autumn, which are the fealons when this fait is prin¬ cipally made, these two winds are neither too moist nor too dry, especially in the night ; the south and west winds are deftrueftive, because they bring storms and showers. In me¬ dicine, nitre is cooling and diuretick, and good in burning fe¬ vers. The riatrum or nitre of the ancients, is a genuine, na¬ tive, and pure fait, extremely different from our nitre, and from all other native salts; being a fixed alkali plainly of the na¬ ture of those made by fire from vegetables, yet beino- ca¬ pable of a regular cryftallization, which those salts are not. It is found on or very near the surface of the earth, in thin flat cakes, spungy, light, and friable; and when pure, of a pale brownifn white colour. It is of an acrid taste, like pot-ashes. About Smyrna and Ephefus, and through a great part of Afia Minor, this fait is extremely frequent on the surface of the earth, and also in Sindy, a province of the inner Afia, where they sweep it up and call it soap-earth, using a solution or lye of it in waffling. The natrum or ni¬ tre of the ancients, has been by some supposed to be a lost substance, and by others to be the same with our nitre or salt-petre; but both these opinions are erroneous, this fait being the true natrum of the ancients, answering perfectly to its defeription, and having all its uses and virtues. In feripture we find that the fait called nitre would ferment with vinegar, and had an abfterlive quality, properties which per¬ fectly agree with this fait but not with salt-petre, as do many different qualities aferibed to it by the ancients.

In case it may be proved, that among the number of rites and orders common unto both, there are particulars, the use whereof is utterly unlawful in regard of some special bad and noisome quality ; there is no doubt but we ought to relinquifh such rites and orders, what freedom soever we have to retain the other still. Hooker, b. iv. All my plants I save from nightly ill Of noisome winds, and blafting vapours chill. Milton. Gravifca noisome from the neighb’ring sen; And his own Caere fentthree hundred men. Dryden.

Brown’s V. Err. To NOMINATE, v. a. [nomino, Latin.] 1. To name ; to mention by name. Suddenly to nominate them ail, It is impossible. Shakes. Henry VI. p. iii.

A mere inclination to matters of duty, men reckon a will¬ ing of that thing ; when they are justly charged with an ac¬ tual wow-performance of what the law requires ? South. For an account at large of bishop Sanderson’s lad judg¬ ment concerning God’s concurrence, or wow-concurrence with the adlions of men, and the positive entity of fins of commission, I refer you to his letters. Pierce. The third fort of agreement or disagreement in our ideas, which the perception of the mind is employed about, is coexidence, or wow-existence in the same fubjedt. Locke. It is not a wow-adt, which introduces a custom, a cudom being a common ufage. Aylifse s Parergon. In the imperial chamber this answer is not admitted, viz. I do not believe it as the matter is alledged. And the reason of this wow-admission is, because of its great uncertainty. Aylifse's Parergon. An apparitor came to the church, and informed the parson, that he must pay the tenths to such a man; and the bishop certified the ecclefiadical court under his seal on the wwz-payment of them, that he refilled to pay them. Aylifse. The wew-appearance of persons to .support the united sense of both houses of parliament, can never be conftrued as a general diffidence of being able to support the charge against the patent and patentee. Swift. This may be accounted for by the turbulence of passions upon the various and surprising turns of good and evil for¬ tune, in a long evening at play; the mind being wholly taken up, and the consequence ofwow-attention fo fatal. Swift. No'nage. n.f {non and age.~\ Minority; time of life before legal maturity. In him there is a hope of government; Which in his nonage, counsel under him. And in his full and ripen’d years, himself Shall govern well. Shakcfpeare's Richard III.

Tliofe charters were not avoidable for the king’s nonage j and if there could have been any such pretence, that alone would not avoid them. Hale.

Nonce, n.f [The original of this word is uncertain; Skinner imagines it to come from own or once; or from nutz, German, need or use : Junius derives it less probably from noiance, to do for the nonce ; being, according to him, to do it merely for mifehief.1 Purpose ; intent; design.

The will of our maker, whether difeovered by reason or revelation, carries the highed authority with it; a confor¬ mity or nonconformity to it, determines their adlions to be morally good or evil. Watts's Logick. 2. Refusal to join in the edablifhed religion. Since the liturgy, rites, and ceremonies of our church, are fo much druck at, and all upon a plea of conscience, it will concern us to examine the force of this plea, which our adverfaries are dill setting up as the grand pillar and butterefs of nonconformity. South's Sermons. The lady will plead the toleration which allows her non¬ conformity in this particular. Addison's Spectator. Nonconfo'rmist. n.f. [non and confortnif.'] One who refuses to join in the edablifhed worship. On his death-bed he declared himself a non-conformif, and had a fanatic preacher to be his spiritual guide. Swift. None, adj.

When they lay nothing from nothing, they mud underdand it as excluding all causes. In which sense it is mod evidently true ; being equivalent to this proposition, that no¬ thing can make itself, or, nothing cannot bring its no-sels out of nonentity into something. Bentley's Serm. 2. A thing not exiding. There was no such thing as rendering evil for evil, when evil was truly a nonentity, and no where to be found. South.

South. One or two rules, on which their conclufions depend, in most men have governed all their thoughts : take these from them and they are at a lots, and their understanding is perfectly at a nonplus. . > & Locke. Such an artist did not begin the matter at a venture, and when put to a nonplus, pause and hesitate which way he shouid proceed, but he had first in his comprehenftve intelled a compleat idea of the whole organical body. Bentley. To Nonplus, v. a. [from the noun.] To confound , to puzzle ; to put to a stand ; to stop.

Many adtions are punifloed by law, that are adts of in¬ gratitude ; but this is merely accidental to them, as they are such adds ; for if they were punished properly under that no¬ tion, and upon that account, the puniftunent would equally reach all adtions of the same kind.

Addison on Christ. Re/ig. NOTO'RIO\JS.adj.[notorius)La.t.nctoire)Fr.] Publicklyknown; evident to the world ; apparent; not hidden.

[from notorious.] Publickly; evidently; openly. The expofing himself notorioufy, did sometimes change the fortune of the day. Clarendon, b. viii. This is notorioufy discoverable in some differences of brake or fern. Brown's Vulgar Errours, b. ii. Ovid tells us, thatthe cause was notorioufy known at Rome, though it be left fo obseure to after ages. Dryden. Should the genius of a nation be more fixed in govern¬ ment, than in morals, learning, and complexion ; which do all notorioufy vary in every age. Swift. NOTTUARY, 7. — mis, Latin.

[This word, though in confor¬ mity to other writers called here a conjunction, is prop'erly a participal adjedlive, as it is compounded of not and withfanding, and anlwers exactly to the Latin non obfante; it is molt properly and analogically used in the ablative case absolute with a noun ; as, be is rich notwithfanding his loss ; it is not fo proper to say, he is rich notwithfanding he has lof much; yet this mode ot writing is too frequent, Addison has used it: but when a sentence follows, it is more grammatical to insert that; as, he is rich no'witbfanding that he has lof much. When notwithfanding is used absolutely, the exprefiion is elliptical, this or that being understood, as in the following passages ot Hooker.] 1. Without hindrance or obftrudlion from.

Addison. 3. Neverthcless ; however. They which honour the law as an image of the wisdom of God himself, are notwithfanding to know that the lame had an end in Christ. Hooker, b. iv.

A human body a forming in such a fluid in any imaginable posture, will never be reconcilable to this hydroftatical law. There will be always something lighter beneath, and something heavier above. Now what can make the heavier particles of bone afeend above the lighter ones of flesh, or depress these below those, against the tendency of their own nature. Bentley’s Sermons. 5.

[nut and muguet, French.] The nutmeg is a kernel of a large fruit not unlike the peach* and separated from that and from its inveftient coat, the mace before it is sent over to us; except that the whole fruit is sometimes sent over in preserve, by way of sweet-meat or as a curiosity. The nutmeg is of a roundish or oval figure, of a compact or firm texture, and its surface furrowed : it is of an extremely agreeable smell and an aromatick tafie. There are two kinds of nutmeg; the male which is long and cylindrical, but it has less of the fine aromatick flavour than the female, which is of the shape of an olive. The Dutch import the nutmegs and mace from the Eafl-Indies, and lupply all Europe with them.

[7r£p» and vfAto^ > perihelie, Fr.J Is that point of a planet’s orbit, wherein it is nearest the fun. Harris. Sir Ifaac Newton has made it probable, that the comet, which appeared in 1680, by approaching to the fun in its perihelium, acquired such a degree of heat, as to be 50000 years a cooling. Cbeyne’s Philofopbical Principles. Perimeter, n. j. [mfi and /a£T££w ; perimetre, Fr.] The compass or sum of all the sides which bound any figure of what kind soever, whether rectilinear or mixed. By comprefling the glafles still more, the diameter of this jing would increase, and the breadth of its orbit or perimeter decrease, until another new colour emerged in the centre of the last. Newton’s Opticks. PE'RIOD. n.f [periode, Fr. 7rffioJoj.] 1. A circuit. 2. Time in which any thing is performed, fo as to begin again in the same manner.

A stated number of years; a round of time, at the end of which the things compriled within the calculation Ihall return to the state in which they were at beginning. A cycle or period is an account of years that has a begin¬ ning and end too, and then begins again as often as it ends. Holder on Time. We stile a lefler space a cycle, and a greater by the name of period; and you may not improperly call the beginning of a large period the epocha thereof. Holder on Time. 4. The end or conclusion.

Burnet’s Theory of the Earth. What anxious moments pass between The birth of plots and their last fatal periods. Oh ! ’tis a dreadful interval of time. Addison. 5. The state at which any thing terminates. Beauty’s empires, like to greater states, Have certain periods set, and hidden fates. Suckling. Light-conlerving stones must be set in tne fun before they retain light, and the light will appear greater or lefler, until they come to their utmost period. Digby. 6. Length of duration. Some experiment would be made how by art to make plants more lasting than their ordinary period; as to make a stalk of wheat last a whole year. Bacon’s Natural History. 7. A complete sentence from one full stop to another. Periods are beautiful, when they are not too long : for fo they have their strength too as in a pike orjavelin. B. Johnf. Is this the confidence you gave me. Lean on it safely, not a period Shall be unlaid for me. Milton. Syllogism is made use of to difeover a fallacy, cunningly wrapt up in a smooth period. Locke. For the afliftance of weak memories, the first words of every period in every page may be written in diftindt colours. Watts’s Improvement of the Mind. From the tongue Th’ unfinish’d period falls.

Brown's Vulgar Errours, POSITIVE, adj. [pofitivus, Lit. poftif Fr.] 1. Not negative; capable of being affirmed ; real; absolute. The power or blollom is a positive good, although the re¬ move ot it, to give place to the fruit, be a comparative good. _ Bacon. Ilardness carries somewhat more of poftive in it than im¬ penetrability, which is negative; and is perhaps more a conlequence of l'olidity, than lolidity itself. Locke. Whatsoever doth or can exist, or be considered as one thing, is positive ; and fo not only Ample ideas and substances, but^modes alio are poftive beings, though the parts, of which they consist, are very often relative one to another. Locke. 2. Absolute; particular ; direCl ; not implied.

Settled by arbitrary appointment. , In laws, that which is natural, bindeth univerfalJy, that which is positive, not fo. Hooker. Although no laws but positive be mutable, yet all are not mutable which be positive; positive laws are either permanent or else changeable, according as the matter itself is, concern¬ ing which they were made. Hooker. Laws are butpofitive; love’s pow’r we see. Is nature’s san&ion, and her first decree. Dryden. 5. Having the power to enaCt any law. Not to consent to the enabling of such a law, which has no view besides the general good, unless another law Ihall at the same time pass, with no other view but that of ad¬ vancing the power of one party alone; what is this but to claim a positive voice, as well as a negative. Swift. 6. Certain; allured. Ainsworth. Positively, adv. [from positive.'] 1. Absolutely; by way of direCl position. Give me some breath, some little pause. Before I poftively speak in this. Shakesp. Rich. III. The good or evil, which is removed, may be elleemed good or evil comparatively, and not poftively or simply. Bacon. 2. Not negatively. It is impossible that any successive duration should be ac¬ tually and poftively infinite, or have infinite fucceifions already gone and pail. Bentley's Sermons. 3. Certainly ; without dubitation. It wTas absolutely certain, that this part was poftively yours, and could not poifibly be written by any other. Dryden. 4. Peremptorily; in llrong terms. I would ask any man, that has but once read the bible, whether the whole tenor of the divine law does not poftively require humility and meekness to all men. Sprat. PoSitiveness. n. f. [from poftive.] 1. Actualness; not mere negation. The poftiveness of fins of commission lies both in the habi¬ tude of the will and in the executed aCt too ; whereas thopoftiveness of fins of omilfion is in the habitude of the will only. Norris, 2. Peremptoriness ; confidence. This peremptoriness is of two sorts; the one a magifterialness in matters of opinion and speculation, the other a pos¬ tiveness in relating matters of sad; in the one we impose upon men s underltandings, in the other on their faith. Government of the Tongue. Positi'vity. n.f [from poftive.] Peremptoriness; confi¬ dence. A low word. Courage and poftivity are never more necefiary than on inch an occasion ; but it is good to join some argument with them of real and convincing force, and let it be ltrongly pro¬ nounced too. IVMs's Improvement of the Mind. P./siture. n.f. [poftura, hat.] 1 he manner in which any thing is placed. Suppoling the posture of the party’s hand who did throw the dice, and supposing all other things, which did concur to the production of that call, to be the very same they were, there is no doubt but in this case the call is necefiary. Bramh. Pi/sNET. n.f [from baffmet, Fr. Skinner.] A little bason ; a porringer ; a Ikillet. To make proof of the incorporation of silver and tin in equal quantity, and also whether it yield no foiliness more than silver ; and again whether it will endure the ordinary fire, which belongeth to chaffing-diflies, pofnets and such other silver vefiels. Bacon. POSSE, n.f. [Latin.] An armed power; from pojfe comitatus, the power of the shires. A low word. The pojfe comitatus, the power of the whole county, is legally committed unto him. Bacon.

It is of unfpeakable advantage to pojfefs our minds with an habitual good intention, and to aim all our thoughts, words and aClions at some laudable end. Addison, Those, under the great officers, know every little case that is before the great man, and it they are pofeffed with honest minds, will consider poverty as a recommendation. Addis 5.

A considerable difference lies between the honour of men lor natural and acquired excellencies and divine graces, that those having more of human nature in them, the honour doth more directly redound to the possessor of them.

The bone that incloses the head: it is made up of several pieces, which, beingjoined together, form a considerable cavity, which contain the brain as in a box, and it is proportionate to the bigness of the brain. Its figure is round, and a little depressed on its sides. The several pieces, of which the Ikull is composed, are joined together by futures, which makes it less apt to break: these pieces or bones are six proper and two common, and each is made up of two tables, or laminae, be¬ tween which there is a thin and spongious substance, made of some bony fibres, which come from each lamina, called in Greek JWAor, and in Latin meditullium. In it are a great many veins and arteries, which bring blood for the nourilhment of the bones. The tables are hard and solid, because in them the fibres of the bones are close to one another. The diploe is sost, because the bony fibres are at a greater distance from one another. The external lamina is smooth, and co¬ vered with the pericranium : the internal is likewise smooth j but on it are several furrows, made by the pulse of the arteries of the dura mater, whilft the cranium was sost and yield¬ ing.

If friends to a government forbear their assistance, they put s it it in the power of a few defperate men to ruin the welfare of those who are superiour to them in strength and interest. Add.

A spring ; a fountain ; a source. Begin then, filters of the sacred well, That from beneath the seat of Jove doth spring Alilton.

Man is not to depend upon the uncertain dispositions of men for his wellbeing, but only on God and his own spirit. Taylor's Rule of Living Holy. For whose wellbeing So amply, and with hands fo liberal, Thou hast provided all things. Milton's Par. Lost, b. viii. 1 he most sacred ties of duty are sounded upon gratitude : such as the duties of a child to his parent, and of a fubje&to his sovereign. From the former there is required love and honour, in recompence of being; and from the latter obe¬ dience and fubje&ion, in recompence of prote&ion and well¬ being. ' South's Sermons. All things are fubfervietit to the beauty, order, and well¬ being of the whole. L'Efrange. He who does not co-operate with this holy spirit, receives none of those advantages which are perfecting of his nature, and necefiary to his wellbeing. Spectator, N°. 57 1. \Vellbo/rn. n.f.

Once more to-day wellmet, distemper’d lords ; The king by me requefts your presence strajght. Shakesp. On their life no grievous burthen lies. Who are wellnatur'd, temperate and wise : But an inhuman and ill-temper’d mind. Not any easy part in life can find. Denham. The manners of the poets were not unlike ; both of them were well-bred, ivellnaturcd, amorous, and libertine at leaf!: in their writings ; it may be also in their lives. Dryden. Still with eftcem no less convers’d than read ; With wit wellnatur d> and with books well-bred. Pope. Welln/gh. adv. [well and nigh.] Almost. The same fo fore annoyed has the knight. That wellnigh choaked with the deadly stink. His forces sail. Fairy £hieen, b. i. J\dy feet were almost gone : my steps had wellnigh flipt. Pf. England was wellnigh ruined by the rebellion of the barons, and Ireland utterly negleCted. Davies. Whoever shall read over St. Paul’s enumeration of the duties incumbent upon it, might conclude, that wellnigh the whole of christianity is laid on the shoulders of charity alone. Sprat's Sermons.

A border; a guard; an edging. Little low hedges made round like welts, with some pretty pyramids, I like well. Bacon. Certain feioli, or fmatterers, are busy in the skirts and outfides of learning, and have scarce any thing of solid literature to recommend them. They may have some edging or trim¬ ming of a scholar, a welt, or (o ; but no more. B. Johnson. Wen. n.f. [pen, Saxon.] A fleshy or callous excrescence, or protuberance. Warts are said to be destroy’d by the rubbing them with a green elder flick, and then burying the flick to rot in muck. It would be tried with corns and wens, and such other excrefcences. Bacon's Nat. Hist. Mountains seem but fo many wens and unnatural protube¬ rances upon the face of the earth. More. The poet rejedls all incidents which are foreign to his poem : they are wens and other excrefcences, which belong not to the body. Dryden's Dufrejnoy, A promontory wen with griefly grace, Stood high upon the handle of his face. Dryden. WENATHEROLASS. [. auge glaſt. ] A barometer. - WEA'THERSPY. . tat gazer; ah aſtr WENCH, n.f.

He muff be no great eater, drinker, or fleeper ; no gamefter, wencher, or sop. Grew’s Cosmology. To Wend. v.n. [penban, Saxon.] 1. To go; to pass to or from. This word is now obsolete, but its preterite went, is still in use. Back to Athens shall the lovers wend With league, whose date till death shall never end. Shakesp. They zvent on, and inferred, that if the world were a liv¬ ing creature, it had a foul. Bacon's Nat. Hist. Then Rome shall wend to Benevento ; Great seats shall he atchieve ! Arbuthnot. 2. To turn round. It seems to be an old sea term. A ship of 600 tons wiil carry as good ordnance as a ship of 1200 tons; and though the greater have double the num¬ ber, the lefler will turn her broadfides twice, before the greater can wend once.

Wi'nogun. n.f [wind and gun.] Gun which difeharges the bullet by means of wind compressed.

Obsolete. The mournful muse in mirth now list ne mask, As she was wont in youngth and summer days. Spenser. Your, pronoun, [eopep, Saxon.J 1. Belonging to you. It is used properly when we speak to more than one* and ceremoniously and customarily when to only one. Either your unparagoned mistress is dead, or she’s outprized by a trifle. Shakespeare. 2. Your is used in an indeterminate sense. Every true man’s apparel fits your thief: if it be too little for your thief, your true man thinks it big enough. If it be too big for your thief, your thief thinks it little enough; fo every true man’s apparel fits your thief. Shakespeare.

[ye'ojoS, Saxon.] 1. The part of life fuccceding to childhood and adolescence; tllfe time from fourteen to twenty eight. But could youth last, and love still breed, Had joys no date, and age no need ; Then these delights my mind might move, To live with thee, and be thy love. Shakespeare. See how the morning opes her golden gates, And takes her farewel of the glorious fun ; How well resembles it the prime of youths Trim’d like a yonker, prancing to his love. Shakesp; His starry helm unbuckled show’d him prime In manhood, where youth ended. Milton. The solidity, quantity, and strength ofthe aliment is to be proportioned to the labour or quantity of muscular motion, which in youth is greater than any other age. Arbuphnot. 2. A young man.

Oh, great reftorer of the good old stage, Preacher at once, and zany of thy age. Pope's Dunciad. Za'rnich. n.f Zarnich is a solid substance in which orpiment is frequently found ; and it approaches to the nature of orpi¬ ment, but without its lustre and foliated texture. The com¬ mon kinds of zarnich are green and yellow; and to this we owe the diftindlion of orpiment into these colours, though there is no such subslance as green orpiment. Zarnich contains a large quantity of arfenick in it. Hill's Materia Medica. Ze' chin. n.f.

The fury of zealots, intestine bitterness and division were the greatest occasion of the last fatal deftrudion of Jerufalem. King Charles. Are not those men too often the greatest zealots who are most notorioufly ignorant ? true zeal should always begin with true knowledge, and thence proceed to an unwearied paflion, for what it once knows to be worthy of such paflion. Sprat. No wonder that fo many of these deluded zealots have been engaged in a cause which they at first abhorred, and have wilhed or aCted for the success of an enterprize, that might have ended in the extirpation of the protestant religion. Addifcn. Zea'lous. adj. [from zeal.'] Ardently paflionate in any cause. Our hearts are right with God, and our intentions pious, if we ad our temporal affairs with a desire no greater than our neceflity, and in adions of religion we be zealous, aClive, and operative, fo far as prudence will permit. Taylor. This day, at height of noon, came to my sphere, A spirit, zealous, as he seem’d to know More of the Almighty’s works. Miltons Paradise Lost. We should be not only devout towards God, but zealous towards men ; endeavouring by all prudent means to recover them out of those snares of the devil, whereby they are taken captive. Decay ofPiety. It is not at all good to be zealous against any person, but only against their crimes. It is better to be zealous for things than f r persons: but then it should be only for good things; a rule that does certainly exclude all manner of zeal for=ill things, all manner of zeal for little things. Sprat's Sermons. Being inftruded only in the general, and zealots in the main design; and as finite beings, not admitted into the secrets of government, the last reforts of providence, or capable of discovering the final purposes of God, they must be femetimes ignorant of the means conducing to those ends in which alone they can oppose each other. Dryden. Zea'lousness. n. J. [from zealous ] The quality of being zea¬ lous. ZEAL. n.f. [£r?Ao?, zelus, Latin.] Paflionate ardour for any person or cause. This present age, wherein zeal hath drowned charity and skill; meekness will not now susser any man to marvel, whatsoever he shall hear reproved by whomfoever. Hooker If I had had time to have made new liveries, I would have bellowed the thousand pound I borrowed of you : but it is no matter, this poor show doth better ; this doth infer the zeal I had to see him. Shakrfpeare's Henry IV. O Cromwell, Cromwell! Had I but ferv’d my God with half the zeal I ferv’d my king, he would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies. Shakespeare. Among the feraphims Abdiel, than whom none with more zeal ador’d The Deity, and divine commands obey’d, Stood up, and in a flame of zeal severe. The current of his fury thus oppos’d. Milton's Parad. Lost. Zeal, the blind conductor of the will. Dryden. She with such a zeal the cause embrac’d. As women, where they will, are all in haftej The father, mother, and the kin beside. Were overborne by the fury of the tide. Dryden. The princes applaud with a furious joy. And the king feiz’d a flambeau with zealto deffroy. Dryden. Scrioufness and zeal in religion is natural to the English. 7 ilUtfon's Sermons. Good men often blemilh the reputation of their piety by over-atting some things in their religion; by an indiicreet zeal about things wherein religion is not concerned. Til/otson. True zeal seems not to be any one single affedtion of the foul; but rather a strong mixture of many holy affections; ra¬ ther a gracious constitution of the whole mind, than any one particular grace, swaying a devout heart, and filling it with all pious intentions; all not only uncounterfeit, but most ser¬ vent. Sprat's Sermons» When the fins of a nation have provoked God to forsake it, he fuffers those to concur in the most pernicious counfels for enflaving confidence, who pretend to the greatest zeal for the liberty of it. Stillingfeet. This rebellion has difeovered to his majesty, who have efpoufed his interefts with zeal or indifference. Addison's Freeh. A scorn of flattery and a zeal for truth. Pope. ZEALOFT. [.

As in a glift’ring zodiack hung the sword, Satan’s dire dread; and in his hand the spear. Milton. It exceeds even their absurdity to suppose the zodiack and planets to be efficient of, and antecedent to themselves, or to exert any influences before they were in being. Bentley. Here in a shrine that cast a dazling light, Sat fixt in thought the mighty Stagyrite; His sacred head a radiant zodiack crown’d. And various animals his sides surround. Pope.

Scarce could the goddess from her nymph be knoWn* But by the crefcent and the golden zone. Popi. 2. A division of the earth. The whole surface of the earth is divided into sive zones: the first is contained between the two tropicks, and is called the torrid zone. There are two temperate zones, and two sri¬ gid zones. The northern temperate zone is terminated by the tropick of Cancer and the artick polar circle: the southern temperate zone is contained between the tropick of Capricorn and the polar circle: the frigid zones are circumscribed by the polar circles, and the poles are in their centers. True love is still the same: the torrid zones. And those more frigid ones, It must not know : For love grown cold or hot. Is lust or friendship, not The thing we show; For that’s a flame would die, * Held down or up too high : Then think I love more than I can exprefsj And would love more, could I but love thee less. Suckling„ As sive zones th’ etherial regions bind, Sive correspondent are to earth aflign’d: The fun, with rays directly,darting down. Fires all beneath, and fries the middle zone. Dryden. 3. Circuit; circumference. Scarce the fun Hath finish’d half his journey, and scarce begins His other half in the great zone of heav’n. Milton. Zoo'grapher. n.f [£wji' and ygaPpa.] One who deferibes the nature, properties, and forms of animals.

Brown's Vulgar Errours. Zoc'le. n. f. [In architecture.] A small fort of stand or pedestal, being a low square piece or member, serving to support a bufto, statue, or the like, that needs to be raised ; also a low square member serving to support a column, instead of a pedestal, base, or plinth.
