Swift, Jonathan, 1667-1745

"A Tale of a Tub"


{96} Transubstantiation.
{98a} The Reformation.
{98b} The cross (in hoc signo vinces). Pieces of the wood said to
be part of it were many in the churches.
{98c} One miracle to be believed was that the Chapel of Loretto
travelled from the Holy Land to Italy.
{99a} Made a true copy of the Bible in the language of the people.
{99b} Gave the cup to the laity.
{99c} Allowed marriages of priests.
{102a} Homerus omnes res humanas poematis complexus est.--Xenophon
in Conviv.--S.
{102b} A treatise written about fifty years ago by a Welsh
gentleman of Cambridge. His name, as I remember, Vaughan, as
appears by the answer to it by the learned Dr. Henry More. It is a
piece of the most unintelligible fustian that perhaps was ever
published in any language.--S. This piece was by the brother of
Henry Vaughan, the poet.
{110} After the changes made by Martin that transformed the Church
of Rome into the Church of England, Jack's proceedings made a rent
from top to bottom by the separation of the Presbyterians from the
Church Establishment.
