thrice noble, chaste, and virtuous, but again somewhat fantastical and original-brained, generous Margaret Newcastle." _Clarke_, Samuel (1675-1729), English theologian of latitudinarian principles. _South_, Robert (1634-1716), controversial writer and preacher. _Tillotson_, John (1630-1694), a popular theological writer of rationalistic tendency. _Leibnitz's Pre-established Harmony_. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibnitz (1646-1716), a German philosopher, represented the world as consisting of an infinite number of independent substances or monads related to each other in such a way (by the pre-established harmony) as to form one universe. Cf. Coleridge's "Destiny of Nations," 38 ff.: "Others boldlier think That as one body seems the aggregate Of atoms numberless, each organized; So by a strange and dim similitude Infinite myriads of self-conscious minds Are an all-conscious spirit, which informs With absolute ubiquity of thought (His own eternal self-affirming act!) All his involved Monads, that yet seem With various province and apt agency Each to pursue its own self-centering end." P. 210, n. _And so by many_. "Two Gentlemen of Verona," ii, 7, 30. P. 211. _hortus siccus_ [dry garden] _of Dissent_. Burke's "Reflections on the French Revolution," Works, ed. Bohn, II, 287. _John Huss_ (1373?-1415), Bohemian reformer and martyr. _Jerome of Prague_, a follower of Huss who was burnt for heresy in 1416. _Socinus_. Fausto Paulo Sozzini (1539-1604), an Italian theologian who sought to simplify the doctrine of the Trinity. _John Zisca_ (1370?-1424), a leader of the extreme Hussite party. _Neal's History_. Daniel Neal (1648-1743) published his "History of the Puritans" 1732-38. _Calamy_, Edmund (1671-1732) published an "Account of the Ministers, Lecturers, Masters and Fellows of Colleges, and Schoolmasters who were Ejected or Silenced after the Restoration of 1660" (1702 and 1713). _Spinoza_, Baruch (1632-1677), a Dutch philosopher of Jewish parentage, the chief representative of Pantheism, "the doctrine of one infinite substance, of which all finite existences are modes or limitations." _When he saw_. Cf. Coleridge's "Remorse," iv, 2, 100: "When we saw nought but beauty; when we heard The voice of that Almighty One who loved us In every gale that breathed, and wave that murmur'd!" _Proclus_ (410-485) and _Plotinus_ (204-270), philosophers of the Neo
