For the other Invention, the Latine Annotator doubts whether the Author means Church-Organs, or Clocks? I suppose he means Clocks, because I find that Invention reckon'd by a _German_, with the other two, as a remarkable one. It is by _Busbequius_, speaking of the Turks, who hath these words: _Testes majores minoresque bombardæ, multaque alia quæ ex nostris excogitata ipsi ad se avertunt; at libros tamen typis excuderent, horologia in publico haberent, nondum adduci potuerunt._ _Epist. Legat. Turcic._ I suppose if he had known any Invention which next to the other two had been greater than this, he would not have named this, and this being the next considerable, we have no cause to doubt but the Author meant it. _To maintain the Trade and Mystery of Typographers._] Of this _Cunæus_ in his _Satyre Sardi vœnates_. _Qui bis in anno nomen suum ad Germanorum nundinas non transmittit, eruditionem suam in ordinem coactam credit, itaq; nunquam tot fungi una pluvia nascuntur, quot nunc libri uno die_. _Sect. 25. Pag. 40._ _The Turk in the bulk that he now stands, is beyond all hope of conversion._] That is, in respect of his great strength, against which it is not probable the Christians will prevail, as it is observed by _Monsieur de Silhon_. _La Race des Ottomans_ (saith he) _quæ oste a Dieu la Religion qu'il a revelee, et aux hommes la liberte que le droit des Gens leur laisse a fait tant de progres depuis trois Cens et quelques annees qu'il semble qu'elle n'ait plus rien a craindre de dehorse, et que son empire ne puisse perir que par la corruption de dedans, et par la dissolution des parties qui composent un corps si vaste. Mr. de Silhon en son Minist. D'Estat. l. 1. c._ _None can more justly boast of persecutions, and glory in the number and valour of martyrs._] Of the fortitude of the Christians in this particular, _Minutius Felix_, in the person of the Ethnique, hath these words, _Per mira stultitia et incredibili audacia spernunt tormenta præsentia, dum incerta metuunt et futura; et dum mori post mortem timent, interim mori non timent._ And afterwards, when he speaks in the person of the Christian, he saith, that Christian women and children have in this surpassed _Scævola_ and _Regulus_: _Viros_ (saith he) _cum Mutio vel cum Atilio Regulo comparo: pueri et mulierculæ nostræ cruces et Tormenta, feros et omnes suppliciorum terriculas inspirata patientia doloris illudunt_. Minut. _in_ Octav. _vide Aug. de Civit. Dei, lib. 1. c. 23, 24_.
