They were met by about 700 Mohilians, who pretended to stop their Passage, but their Darts and Arrows were of little avail against Misson's Fuzils; the first Discharge made a great Slaughter, and about 20 Shells which were thrown among them, put them to a confus'd Flight.
Sixthly, If you take a Diaphanous Body, as for instance a Piece of Glass, and reduce it to Powder, the same Body, which when it was Entire, freely Transmitted the Beams of Light, acquiring by Contusion a multitude of Minute Surfaces, each of which is as it were a Little, but Imperfect Speculum, is qualify'd to Reflect in a Confus'd manner, so many either Beams, or Little and Singly Unobservable Images of the Lucid Body, that from a Diaphanous it Degenerates into a White Body.
And in the latter they have so subjected themselves to certain Rules and cyphers, that they have made a confus'd and obscure art which perplexeth the minde, in stead of a Science to instruct it. For this reason, I thought I ought to seek some other Method, which comprehending the advantages of these, they might be exempt from their defects.
Phi. I never did obey with more regret. Alcip. How now, Erminia? How comes it you are up so late? Er. I found my self not much inclin'd to sleep; I hope 'tis no offence. Why do you look so wildly round about you? Alcip. Methinks, Erminia, you are much confus'd. Er. Alas, you cannot blame me; Isillia tells me you were much inrag'd Against a Lover she was entertaining. Alcip.
Pallid fear lay hold on him. My valiant members tremble. The old man heard, his mind confus'd with dread, So grievously he fear'd that every hair Upon his bended head did stand on end. According to these passages for "feared" he says "frozen" and "fear" he calls "freezing." Evil effects, he distinguishes in these ways. But Jove, high-throned, the soul of Ajax filled with fear.
And what the people but a herd confus'd, A miscellaneous rabble, who extol Things vulgar, and, well weigh'd, scarce worth the praise?" To the Jesus of the New Testament this answer is, in a measure, inappropriate. He would not have called the people "a herd confus'd, a miscellaneous rabble." But although inappropriate it is Miltonic.
There is not therefore this pretence to impose upon any one the belief of any thing which they do not find to be reveal'd in Scripture; the doing of which, has not only caus'd deplorable dissentions among Christians, but also been an occasion to multitudes of well meaning People of having so confus'd and unsatisfactory conceptions and apprehensions concerning the Christian Religion as tho' perhaps not absolutely, or immediately prejudicial to their Salvation, yet are so to their seeing clearly that Christianity is a rational Religion; without which few will be very secure from the infection of Scepticism, or Infidelity, where those are become fashionable, and prevailing.
Confusion, struggle, shame, and woe: Things to be hid that were not hid; Which all confus'd he could not know Whether he suffer'd or he did: and when the judgment seat began to speak, he died away with fear and suddenly awoke. But a voice now reached him that was no voice of judgment or dismay; the tones were low and sweet; and they spoke as woman speaks when she comes to comfort.
You'll think all this very strange, and confus'd, but I assure you, THERE YOU'L SOON HEAR OF A HURLY BURLY; but I will see my friend or that can happen. I wish I had the Highland pistoles. If Donald wants mony, pray give him. He is to come with a Shoot of Close to me, when I receive Credit. I WILL RUN AT LEAST TOW HUNDRED LEAGUES POST. You'l hear from me when I write to my friend.
So that if we have very often any which contain falshood, they cannot be but of such things which are somewhat confus'd and obscure, because that therein they signifie nothing to us, that's to say, that they are thus confus'd in us only, because we are not wholly perfect.
