[Footnote 119: A Popish advocate, in the controversy with Tennison, tells us exultingly, "That Martin Luther himself, Dr T's excellent instrument, after he had eat a feasting supper, and drank _lutheranice_, as the German proverb has it, was called into another world at two o'clock in the night, February 18, 1546." This was one of the reasons why his adversaries alleged, that Martin Luther set sail for hell in the manner described by Sterne, in his tale from Slawkenbergius.] [Footnote 120: The king being owned the head of the church of England, contrary to the doctrine of the other reformed churches.] [Footnote 121: Phylacteries are little scrolls of parchment worn by the Jews on their foreheads and wrists, inscribed with sentences from the law. They are supposed, as is expressed by the phrase in the original, to have the virtue of preserving the wearer from danger and evil.] [Footnote 122: The Lutherans adopt the doctrine of consubstantiation; that is to say, they believe, that, though the elements are not changed into the body and blood of Christ by consecration, which is the Roman faith, yet the participants, at the moment of communicating, do actually receive the real body and blood. The Calvinists utterly deny the real presence in the eucharist, and affirm, that the words of Christ were only symbolical. The church of England announces a doctrine somewhat between these. See Note XI.] [Footnote 123: Note XI.] [Footnote 124: Note XII.] [Footnote 125: Alluding to the fate of the church and monarchy of England, which fell together in the great rebellion. See Note XI.] [Footnote 126: _Resolved_, i.e. dissolved.] [Footnote 127: The Wolf, or Presbytery.--See note XIII.] [Footnote 128: Note XIV.] [Footnote 129: That is, if the church of England would be reconciled to Rome, she should be gratified with a delegated portion of innate authority over the rival sectaries; instead of being obliged to depend upon the civil power for protection.] [Footnote 130: Alluding to the exercise of the dispensing power, and the Declaration of Indulgence.] [Footnote 131: The ten-horned monster, in the Revelations, was usually explained by the reformers as typical of the church of Rome.] [Footnote 132: There was a classical superstition, that, if a wolf saw a man before he saw the wolf, the person lost his voice: ----_voxque Mærin Jam fugit ipsa: lupi Mærin videre priores._ Dryden has adopted, in the text, the converse of this superstitious belief.] [Footnote 133: Although the Roman Catholic plot was made the pretence of persecuting the Papists in the first instance, yet the high-flying party of the Church of England were also levelled at, and accused of being Tantivies, Papists in masquerade, &c. &c.] NOTES ON THE HIND AND THE PANTHER.
