[86] Johnson, by trusting; to his memory, has here fallen into an error.  Howell, in his instructions for Foreign Travell, has said directly the reverse of what is ascribed to him:  “I have beaten my brains,” he tells us, “to make one sentence good Italian and congruous Latin, but could never do it; but in Spanish it is very feasible, as, for example, in this stanza: 

     Infausta Graecia, tu paris gentes
     Lubricas, sed amicitias dolosas,
     Machinando fraudes cautilosas,
     Ruinando animas innocentes: 

which is good Latin enough; and yet is vulgar Spanish, intelligible to every plebeian.”—­J.  B.

[87] Browne’s Remains.—­Whitefoot.

[88] Therefore no hereticks desire to spread Their wild opinions like
     these epicures.  For so their staggering thoughts are computed,
     And other men’s assent their doubt assures.

     DAVIES.
