But I proceed to a further survey of the Doctor’s intolerable ignorance. His charge in the end of the _school-master’s_ rant is, that he should _remember_ στίγμα and στιγμὴ _are not all one_. I complained before that he hath not cited Robert Stephen aright; now I must tell him he hath been negligent in the reading of Henry Stephen: for in him he might have found that στίγμα was sometimes all one with στιγμὴ, though there be no example in him wherein στιγμὴ is used for στίγμα. Hath not Hesiod, (as Stephen rightly citeth it), in his _Scutum_, 166-67. Στἴγματα δ’ ὥς ἐπέφαντο ἴδεῖν δεινοῖσι δράκουσι Κυανέα κατὰ νῶτα _ubi scholiastes_ ὥσπερ δὲ στιγμαὶ ἦσαν ἐπάνω, τῶν ῥάχεων τῶν δρακόντων, κατάστίκτοι γὰρ καὶ ποικίλοι ὁι ὄφεις. So Johannes Diaconus upon the place, a man who (if I may use the Doctor’s phrase) was _as good a critic as_ the Geometry Professor. Thus much for the _Doctor_. To the understanding _reader_, I say that στιγμὴ is used for burning with a hot iron: _2 Macchab._ ix. 11, where speaking of Antiochus’s lamentable death, his body putrefying and breeding worms, he is said, ἐις ετίγνωσιν τοῦ θεοῦ ἔρχεθαι θείᾳ μάστιγι, κατα στιγμὴν ἐπιτεινόμενος ταῖς ἀλγηδόσι; _being pained as if he had been pricked or burned with hot irons_. And that this is the meaning of that elegant writer, shall be made good against the Doctor, when he shall please to defend the vulgar interpretation. Pausanias, in _Bœoticis_, speaking of Epaminondas, who had taken a town belonging to the Sicyonians, called Phœbia (Φουβία) wherein were many Bœotian fugitives, who ought, by law, to have been put to death, saith he dismissed them under other names, giving them only a _brand_ or _mark_. Πόλισμα ἑλὼν Σικυωνἰων Φουβίαν, ἔνθὰ ἦσαν το πολὺ οἱ Βοιώτιοι φυγάδες, στιγμήν ἀφίησι τοῦς ἐγκαταληφθέντας ἄλλην σφίσιν ἣν ετυχε πατρίδα ἐπονομάζων ἐκάστω. It is true στιγμὴν is here put _adverbially_, but that doth not alter the case. Again, Zonaras, in the third tome of his History, in the life of the Emperor Theophilus, saith, that when Theophanes and another monk had reproved the said emperor for demolishing images, he took and _stigmatized_ each of them with twelve _iambics_ in their faces: εἶτα καὶ τὰς ὄψεις ἀυτῶν κάτεστιξε καὶ ταῖς στιγμαῖς μέλαν ἐπέχεε γράμματα δὲ ἐτύπουν τὰ στιγματα, τὰ δὲ ἦσαν ἴαμβοι οὗτοι. A place so evident, that I know not what the Doctor can reply. This place is just parallel to what the same author saith in the life of Irene, τἀς ὄψέις σφών καταστιξας ἐν γράμμασι, μέλανος εγχεομένου τοῖς στίγμασι. If the Doctor object that he is a modern author, he will never be able to render him as inconsiderable as Adrianus Junius’s _Nomenclator_, Thomasius and Rider. If any will deny that he writes good Greek, Hieronymus Wolfius will tell them, his only fault is περισσολογια, _redundancy_ in words, and not the use of _bad_ ones.
