Ciceronians, neither whereof will allow those to be sufficient authors of any Latin word. Alas, they are but _Vocabularies_; and, if they bring no author for their allegation, all that may be allowed them is, that, by way of allusion, our modern play may be called _Ludus Empusæ_. But that it is so called we must expect, till some author do give it the name. These are so good authors, that I have not either of them in my library. But I have taken the pains to consult, first, Rider; I looked in him, (who was only author of the English Dictionary) and I could not find any such thing. It is true, in the Latin Dictionary, which is joined with Rider, but made by Holyoke; (O that the Doctor would but mark!) in the index of obsolete words, there is _Ascoliasmus, Ludus Empusæ_, _Fox to thy hole_, for which word, not signification, he quoteth Junius. The same is in Thomasius, who refers to Junius in like manner. But could the Doctor think the word obsolete, when the play is still in fashion? Or, doth he think that this play is so ancient as to have had a name so long ago, that it should now be grown obsolete? As for Junius’s interpretation of _Empusa_, it is this: _Empusa, spectrum, quod se infelicibus ingerit, uno pede ingrediens_. Had the Doctor ever read him, he would have quoted him for his derivation of _Empusa_, I suppose. In Ascoliasmus, he saith, _Ascoliasmus, Empusæ Ludus, fit ubi, altero pede in aere librato, unico subsiliunt pede:_ ἀσκολιασμὸς _Pollux; Almanicè, Hinckelen; Belgicè,_ _Op een been springhen; Hinckepincken, Flandris_. But what is it in English he doth not tell, although he doth so in other places often. What the Doctor can pick out of the Dutch I know not; but, if that do not justify him, as I think it doth not, he hath wronged Junius, and greatly imposed upon his readers.
