[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 fide about three inches in length : after the fame 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 flipping. In this manner they are to re- main about four months, in which time they will be fufficiently 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. /.

According to the primitive meaning, not figurative.

A foundation, being primarily of ufe in architedure, hath no other literal notation but what belongs to it in relation to an houfe, or other building, nor figurative, but what is founded in that, and deduced from thence. Hammond. 2. Following the letter, or exad words. The fitteft for publick audience are fuch as, following a middle courfe between the rigour of literal tranflations and the liberty of paraphrafts, do with greater Ihortnefs and plainnels deliver the meaning. . _ Hooker, b. v. 3.

The Hebrews, who had been acquainted with the laft mentioned fort of manna, when they found a miraculous food in the defert refembling it, did not fcruple to call it manna : this was a conjecture the more natural to them, as they faw 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 fame manner; that it was a dew from the clouds concreted on the plant, none fuppofing, in thofe early times, that it was the natural juice of the fhrub upon which it was found : it is however evident, that this was not of the nature of manna, becaufe it melted away as the fun grew hot, whereas manna hardens in that heat.

[nianiir\ old French; manerium, low Latin; maner, Armorick.] Manor fignifies, in common law; a rule or government which a man hath over luch as hold land within his fee. Touch¬ ing the original of thefe manors, it feems, that, in the begin¬ ning, there wad a certain compafs or circuit of ground grant¬ ed by the king to fome men of worth, for him and his heirs to dwell upon, and to exercife fome jurifdfcftion, more or lefs, within that compafs, as he thought good to grant; per¬ forming him fuch ferviccs, and paying luch yearly rent for the fame, as he by his grant required : and that afterward this great man parcelled his land to other meaner men, in¬ joining them again fuch fervices 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 thofe great men, or their pofterity, have alienated thefe manlions and lands fa given them by their prince, and many for capital offences haye forfeited them to the king; and thereby they ftill 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 thefe days, a manor rather fignifies the jurifdidlion and royalty incorporeal, than the land or fite: for a man may have a manor in grofs, as the law terms it, that is, the right and intereft of a court-baron, with the perquifites thereto belonging.

A concave meajure, of known and denominated capacity, ferves to meafure the capacioufnefs of any other veflel. Holder.

At length have roll’d around the liquid {pace. From the fame point of heav’n their courfe advance. And move in 7neafures of their former dance. Dryden. 10. A {lately dance. This fenfe is, I believe, obfolete. Wooing, wedding, and repenting, is as a Scotch jig, a meafure and a cinque pace; the firlt fuit is hot and hafty, like a Scotch jig, and full as fantaftical; the wedding mannerly, modeft as a meafure, full of Hate and anchentry. Shakefpeare. Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths, Our ftern alarms chang’d to merry meetings, Our dreadful marches to delightful meafures. Shakefpeare. 11. Moderation; not excefs.

[milbeape, Saxon.] Mildew is a difeafe that happens in plants, and is caufed 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 fpoils, the inmod fubdance of the plant, and hinders the circulation of the nutritive fap ; 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 exfudation. Others fay, that mildew is a thick, clammy vapour, exhaled in the Spring and Summer from the plants, blodoms, and even the earth itfelf, in clofe, dill weather, where there is neither fun enough to draw it upwards to any confiderable height, nor wind of force drong enough to difperfe it: it condenfes and falls on plants, and with its thick, clammy fijbdance dops the pores, and by that meansprevents perfpiration. Miller thinksthe truecaufe of the mildew appearing mod upon plants which are expofed 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 perfpiration; whereby the juices of the plants are concreted upon the furface of their leaves, which being of a fweetidi nature, infeeds are indeed thereto, where find¬ ing proper nutriment they depofite their eggs, and multiply fo fad as to cover the whole furfaces of the plants, and, by corroding the veiled, prevent the motion of the fap. It is obfervable, that whenever a tree has been greatly adecled by this ?nildcw, it feldom recovers it in two or three years, and many times never is intirely clear from it after. Hill.

The milky-way, or via ladtea, is a broad white path or track, encompaffing the whole heavens, and extending itfelf in fome places with a double path, but for the mod part with a iino-le one. Some of the ancients, as Aridotle, imagined that this path confided only of a certain exhalation hanging in the air; but, by the telefcopical obfervations of this age, ?t hath been difeovered to confilt of an innumerable quantity of fixed liars, different in fituation and magnitude, from the confufed mix¬ ture of whofe light its whole colour is fuppofed to be occafioned. 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 ufually been the re¬ gion in which new dars have appeared ; as that in Caffiopeia, which was feen in A. D. 1572; that in the bread of the Swan, and another in the knee of Serpentarius; which have appeared for a while, and then become invifible again. Harris.

[inypreltan, Saxon; mifel, Danifh, bird¬ lime, and tan, a twig.] A plant. The flower of the mijlletoe confifts of one leaf, which is Ihaped like a bafon, divided into four parts, and befet 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 confifts of four fhortcr leaves; this becomes a round berry full of a glutinous fubftance, inclofing a plain heart-fhaped feed : this plant is always produced from feed, and is not to be cultivated in the earth, as moft other plants, but will always grow upon trees; from whence the ancients account¬ ed it a luper-plant, who thought it to be an excrefcence on the tree without the feed being previoufly lodged there, which opinion is now generally confuted. The manner of its pro¬ pagation is as follows, viz. the mifetoe thrufti, which feeds upon the berries of this plant in winter when it is ripe, doth open the feed from tree to tree ; for the vifcous part of the berry, which immediately furrounds the feed, doth fometimes fallen it to the outward part of the bird’s beak, which, to get difengaged of, he ftrikes his beak at the branches of a neighbouring tree, and fo leaves the feed flicking by this vif¬ cous matter to the bark, which, if it lights upon a linooth part of the tree, will fallen itfelf, and the following winter put out and grow: the trees which this plant doth moft rea¬ dily take upon are the apple, the alh, and fome other linooth rind trees: it is obfervable, that whenever a branch of an oak tree hath any of thefe plants growing upon it, it is cut off, and preferved by the curious in their collections of na¬ tural curiofities.

Mijfeltoe groweth chiefly upon crab trees, apple trees, fome¬ 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.

NI'TRE. n.f [nitre, Fr. nitrum, Latin.] The fait which we know at this time, under the name of nitre or falt-petre, is a cryftalline pellucid, but fomewhat whitifh fubftance, of an acrid and bitterifh tafte, impreffing a peculiar fenfe of coldnefs upon the tongue. This fait, though it affords, by means of fire, an acid fpirit capable of diffolving almoft every thing, yet manifefts no fign of its containing any acid at all in its crude ftate. Nitre is of the number of thofe falts which are naturally blended in imper¬ ceptible particles in earths, ftones, and other foffile fubftances, as the particles of metals are in their ores : it is fometimes however found pure, in form of an efflorefcence, either on its ores or on the furface of old walls ; thefe efflorefcences diffolved in proper water, {hooting into regular and proper cryftals of nitre. That th.is fait fhould be found on the furface of walls is not wonderful, fince it is found only on or near the furface of the earth where it is produced. The earth from which nitre is made, both in Perfia and the Eaft-Indies, is a kind of yellowilh marl found in the bare cliffs of the fides of hills expofed to the northern and eaftern winds, and never in any other fituation. From this marl the fait is feparated by water ; but the cryftals into which it {hoots, as we receive them from the Eaft-Indies, are fmall, 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 thofe of ftables and cow-houfes, all afford nitre, on being thrown into water and boiled. In France, where very little nitre is imported, they make it from the rubbifh of old mortar and plaifter of buildings; and the mortar of old walls with us, if moiftened with urine and expofed to the air in a proper fituation that is open to the north eaft, and covered over to defend it from wet, never fails to afford nitre in a few weeks, and that in proportion of one tenth of the weight of the ingredients. There is no queftion but a manufactory of nitre might be eftablifhed in England to as much advantage as that of France. The place where the materials are expofed, is to be carefully examined. It muft be moderate as to the great points of moifture and drynefs; if there be too much moifture the nitre which is already formed will be wafhed away, and without fome moifture the falts will hardly be ever formed. Heat and coldnefs, unlefs exceffive, can be of no confequence. It is on account of the requifitenefs of fo certain a degree of moifture to the materials from which nitre is obtained, that the north eaft winds are of fo much ufe in the production of it. In fpring and autumn, which are the fealons when this fait is prin¬ cipally made, thefe two winds are neither too moift nor too dry, efpecially in the night ; the fouth and weft winds are deftrueftive, becaufe they bring ftorms and fhowers. 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 falts; being a fixed alkali plainly of the na¬ ture of thofe made by fire from vegetables, yet beino- ca¬ pable of a regular cryftallization, which thofe falts are not. It is found on or very near the furface of the earth, in thin flat cakes, fpungy, light, and friable; and when pure, of a pale brownifn white colour. It is of an acrid tafte, like pot-afhes. About Smyrna and Ephefus, and through a great part of Afia Minor, this fait is extremely frequent on the furface of the earth, and alfo in Sindy, a province of the inner Afia, where they fweep it up and call it foap-earth, ufing a folution or lye of it in waffling. The natrum or ni¬ tre of the ancients, has been by fome fuppofed to be a loft fubftance, and by others to be the fame with our nitre or falt-petre; but both thefe opinions are erroneous, this fait being the true natrum of the ancients, anfwering perfectly to its defeription, and having all its ufes 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 falt-petre, as do many different qualities aferibed to it by the ancients.

Pierce. The third fort of agreement or difagreement in our ideas, which the perception of the mind is employed about, is coexidence, or wow-exiftence in the fame fubjedt. Locke. It is not a wow-adt, which introduces a cuftom, a cudom being a common ufage. Ayliffe s Parergon. In the imperial chamber this anfwer is not admitted, viz. I do not believe it as the matter is alledged. And the reafon of this wow-admiffion is, becaufe of its great uncertainty. Ayliffe's Parergon.

Ayliffe. The wew-appearance of perfons to .fupport the united fenfe of both houfes of parliament, can never be conftrued as a general diffidence of being able to fupport the charge againft the patent and patentee.

Watts's Logick. 2. Refufal 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 confcience, it will concern us to examine the force of this plea, which our adverfaries are dill fetting 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. Addifon's Spectator. Nonconfo'rmist. n.f.

LEJlrange. 6. Now and then ; at one time and another uncertainly. This word means, with regard to time, what is meant by here and there, with refpect to place.

The nutmeg is of a roundifh or oval figure, of a compact or firm texture, and its furface furrowed : it is of an extremely agreeable fmell and an aromatick tafie. There are two kinds of nutmeg; the male which is long and cylindrical, but it has lefs of the fine aromatick flavour than the female, which is of the fhape of an olive. The Dutch import the nutmegs and mace from the Eafl-Indies, and lupply all Europe with them. The tree which produces them is not unlike our pear-tree in its manner of growth: its leaves, whether green or dried, have, when bruifed, a very fragrant fmell j and the trunk or branches, cut or broken off, yield a red liquor like blood. This tree is carefully cultivated. But that which produces the male nutmeg grows wild in the mountainous parts of the Moluccas. Nutmeg is much ufed in our foods, and is of excellent virtues as a medicine. Hill.

Bodies produce ideas in us, manifeftly by impulfe, the only way which we can conceive bodies operate in. Locke. It can operate on the guts and ftomach, and thereby pro¬ duce diftindt ideas. Locke. A plain convincing reafon operates on the mind, both of a learned and ignorant hearer as long as they live. Swift. Where caufes operate freely, with a liberty of indifference to this or the contrary, the effect will be contingent, and the certain know ledge of it belongs only to God. TVatts. Operation, n.f.

Ral. Many of the nobility endeavoured to make themfelves po¬ pular, by fpeaking in parliament againft thofe things which were moil grateful to his majefty; and he thought a little difcountenance upon thofe perfons would fupprefs that fpirit within themfelves, or make the poifon of it lefs operative upon others. .

It is brought to us in flat cakes or maffes, ufually of a roundifh figure, very heavy and of a denfe tex¬ ture, not perfectly dry : its colour is a dark brownifli yellow ; its fmell is very unpleafant, of a dead faint kind; and its tafte very bitter and very acrid. It is brought from Natolia, from Egypt, and from the Eaft-Indies, where it is produced from the white garden poppy; a plant of which every part is full of a milky juice, and with which the fields of AfiaMinor are in many places fown as ours are with corn. When the heads grow to maturity, but are yet foft, green and full of juice, incifions are made in them, and from every one of thefe a few drops flow of a milky juice, which foon hardens into a folid confiftence. Thefe drops are gathered with great care, and the fineft opium proceeds from the firft incifions. In the countries where opium is produced, multitudes are em¬ ployed in preparing it with water, honey and fpices, and working it up into cakes ; but what we generally have is the mere crude juice, or at moft worked up with water; ora fmall quantity of honey Efficient to bring it into form. The ancients were greatly divided about the virtues and ufe of opium; fome calling it a poifon, and others the greateft of all medicines. At prefent it is in high efteem, and exter¬ nally applied it is emollient, relaxing and difeutient, and greatly promotes fuppuration. A moderate dofe of opium taken internally, is generally under a grain, yet cuftom will make people bear a dram as a moderate dofe ; but in that cafe nature is vitiated. Its firft effedt is the making the pa¬ tient cheerful, as if he had drank moderately of wine ; it removes melancholy, excites boldnefs, and diffipates the dread of danger; and for this reafon the Turks always take it when they are going to battle in a larger dofe than ordi¬ nary : it afterward quiets the fpirits, eafes pain, and difpofes to fleep. After the effedf of a dofe of opium is over, the pain generally returns in a more violent manner ; the fpirits; which had been elevated by it, become lower than before; and the pulfe languid. An immoderate dofe of opium brings on a fort of drunkennefs, cheerfulnefs and loud laughter, at firft, and, after many terrible fymptoms, death itfelf. Thofe who have accuftomed themfelves to an immoderate ufe of opium, are fubjedl to relaxations and weakneffes of all the parts of the body ; they are apt to be faint, idle and thoughtlefs, and are generally in a ftupid and uncomfortable ftate, except juft after they have taken a frefh dofe : they lofe their appetite, and in fine grow old before their time; Hill. Sleep hath forfook and giv’n me o’er To death’s benumbing opium as my only cure. Milton. The colour and tafte of opium are, as well as its foporific or anodyne virtues, mere powers depending on its primary qualities, whereby it is fitted to produce different operations on different parts of our bodies.

It is attenuating and difciitient, and gently purgative. Hill. Opiate, n.f.

Salt is a body whofe two effential properties feem to be diffolubility in water, and a pungent fapor : it is an adlive incombuftible fubftance: it gives all bodies confiftence, and preferves them from corruption, and occafions all the variety of taftes. There are three kinds of falts, fixed, volatile, and effential: fixed fait is drawn by calcining the matter, then boiling the allies in a good deal of water: after this the folution is filtrated, and all themoifture evaporated, when the fait remains in a dry form at the bottom : this is called a lixivious fait. Effential fait is that drawn chiefly from the parts of ani¬ mals, and fome putrified parts of vegetables: it rifes eafily, and is the moft volatile of any. The eflential fait is drawn from the juice of plants by cryftalization. Harris. Is not difeourfe, manhood, learning, gentlenefs, virtue and liberality, the (pice and /alt thatfeafons a man ? Shake/p.

The flower confifts of one leaf, which is fhaped like a fun¬ nel, having many ftamina in the centre : thefe flowers are col¬ lected into a round head: from the bottom of the flower rifes the piftillum, which afterwards becomes an oblong flat-jointed pod, which opens both ways, and contains in each partition one roundifh feed. Of this plant the humble plants are a lpecies, which are fo called, becaufe, upon being touched, the pedicle of their leaves falls downward; but the leaves of the fenfitive plant are only contracted.

Anatomifts, when they have taken off" from the bottom of the eye that outward and moft thick coat called the dura mater, can then fee through the thinner coats, the pi&ure* of objects lively painted thereon. And thefe pictures, pro¬ pagated by motion along the fibres of the optick nerves into the brain, are the caufe of vifon. Newton's Opticls. Thefe theorems being admitted into optics, there would be fcope enough of handling that fcience voluminoufly, after a new manner; not only by teaching thofe things which tend to the perfection of vifon, but alfo by determining mathe¬ matically all kinds of phenomena of colours which could be produced by refraCtions. Newton's Opticks. 2. The aCt of feeing. Vifon in the next life is the perfecting of faith in this-; or faith here is turned into vifon there, as hope into en¬ joying. Hammond's Pradl. Catecbijm. 3.

A dream happens to a fleeping, a vifion may happen to a waking man. A dream is fuppofed natural, a vifion miraculous ; but they are confounded. Elis dream returns ; his friend appears again : J The murd’rers come; now help, or I am flain ! C ’Twas but a vifon ftill, and vifons are but vain.

Their lmoothnefs accounts for their Aiding eafiiy over one another’s furfaces: their fphericity keeps them alfo from touching one another in more points than one; and by both thefe their frictions in Aiding over one another, is ren¬ dered the leaft poflible. Their hardnefs accounts for the incompreffibility of water, when it is free from the intermixture of air. The porofity of water is fo very great, that there is at leaft forty times as much fpace as matter in it; for water is nineteen times fpecifically lighter than gold, and confequemly rarer in the fame proportion.

The other way of ibhipgrafting is, where the grafts and the flocks are of an equal iize: the flock mull be cut Hoping upwards from one fide to the other, and the graft after the fame manner from the fhoulder downwards, that the graft may exactly join with the flock in every part, and fo bind, and clay or wax them as before.

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. Sbakefpeare.

Scrioufnefs and zeal in religion is natural to the Englifh. 7 ilUtfon's Sermons. Good men often blemilh the reputation of their piety by over-atting fome things in their religion; by an indiicreet zeal about things wherein religion is not concerned. Til/otfon. True zeal feems not to be any one fingle affedtion of the foul; but rather a ftrong mixture of many holy affections; ra¬ ther a gracious conftitution of the whole mind, than any one particular grace, fwaying a devout heart, and filling it with all pious intentions; all not only uncounterfeit, but moft fer¬ vent.

The whole furface of the earth is divided into five zones: the firft is contained between the two tropicks, and is called the torrid zone. There are two temperate zones, and two fri¬ gid zones. The northern temperate zone is terminated by the tropick of Cancer and the artick polar circle: the fouthern temperate zone is contained between the tropick of Capricorn and the polar circle: the frigid zones are circumfcribed by the polar circles, and the poles are in their centers. True love is ftill the fame: the torrid zones. And thofe more frigid ones, It muft not know : For love grown cold or hot. Is luft or friendfhip, not The thing we fhow; 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 lefs. Suckling„ As five zones th’ etherial regions bind, Five correfpondent are to earth aflign’d: The fun, with rays directly,darting down. Fires all beneath, and fries the middle zone. Dryden. 3.
