Seite 134 - What would you have me retract ? I thought your book an imposture ; I think it an imposture still.- For this opinion I have given my reasons to the publick, which I here dare you to refute. Your rage I defy. Your abilities, since your Homer, are not so formidable ; and what I hear of your morals, inclines me to pay regard not to what you shall say, but to what you shall prove.
