What Methods to take to know, who are _Witches_, I really know not; but on the other Side, I think there are variety of Methods to be used to know who are not; _W--- G---_, Esq; is a Man of Fame, his Parts are great, because his Estate is so; he has threescore and eight Lines of _Virgil_ by rote, and they take up many of the Intervals of his merry Discourses; he has just as many witty Stories to please Society; when they are well told, _once over_, he begins again, and so he lives in a round of Wit and Learning; he is a Man of great Simplicity and Sincerity; you must be careful not to mistake my Meaning, as to the Word Simplicity; some take it to mean Honesty, and so do I, only that it has a Negative attending it, in his particular Case; in a Word, _W---- G----_ is an honest Man, and no _Conjurer_; a good Character, I think, and without Impeachment to his Understanding, he may be a Man of Worth for all that; take the other Sex, there is the Lady _H----_ is another Discovery; bless us! what Charms in that Face! How bright those Eyes! How flowing white her Breasts! How sweet her Voice? add to all, how heavenly, divinely good her Temper! How inimitable her Behaviour! How spotless her Virtue! How perfect her Innocence! and to sum up her Character, we may add, the Lady _H----_ is no _Witch_; sure none of our Beau Critics will be so unkind now as to censure me in those honest Descriptions, as if I meant that my good Friend _W---- G----_ Esq; or my ador'd Angel, the bright, the charming Lady _H----_ were Fools; but what will not those Savages, call'd Critics, do, whose barbarous Nature enclines them to trample on the brightest Characters, and to cavil on the clearest Expressions?
