n his edition (London, 1885), of the _Scepsis Scientifica_, xxvii, xxix. See also _Sadducismus Triumphatus_ (citations are all from the edition of 1681), 7, 13. [4] So at least says Leslie Stephen, _Dict. Nat. Biog._ Glanvill himself, in _Essays on Several Important Subjects_ (1676), says that the sixth essay, "Philosophical Considerations against Modern Sadducism," had been printed four times already, _i. e._, before 1676. The edition of 1668 had been revised. [5] This edition was dedicated to Charles, Duke of Richmond and Lenox, since His Grace had been "pleased to commend the first and more imperfect Edition." [6] _Sadducismus Triumphatus_, Preface, F 3 verso, F 4; see also p. 10. In the second part see Preface, Aa 2--Aa 3. In several other places he has insisted upon this point. [7] See _ibid._, 9 ff., 18 ff., 21 ff., 34 ff. [8] _Ibid._, 32, 34. [9] _Ibid._, 11-13. [10] See, for example, _ibid._, 88-89. [11] _Ibid._, 25-27. [12] _Sadducismus Triumphatus_, 39. [13] _Ibid._, 52-53. [14] To the argument that witches are not mentioned in the New Testament he retorted that neither is North America (_ibid._, 82). [15] _Ibid._, 78. [16] Nevertheless he took up some of Scot's points. [17] _Sadducismus Triumphatus_, Preface. [18] _Sadducismus Triumphatus_, pt. ii, 3. [19] See _ibid._, pt. ii, Relation VIII. [20] _Scepsis Scientifica_ (ed. of 1885), 179. [21] London, 1668. It was reprinted in 1672 with the title _A Treatise proving Spirits, Witches, and Supernatural Operations by pregnant instances and evidences_. [22] See above, pp. 239-240. [23] _Of Credulity and Incredulity_, 29, 30. [24] He characterizes Reginald Scot as an illiterate wretch, but admits that he had never read him. It was Wierus whom he chiefly sought to confute. [25] He was given also to "strong and high tasted liquors." Anthony a Wood, _Athenae Oxonienses_ (London, 1691-1692; 3d ed., with additions, London, 1813-1820), ed. of 1813-1820, III, 11-14.
