“He who would think⟳ clearly must think⟳ like⟳ a peripatetic even if he is unwilling to walk⟳ like⟳ one.”

“And though it be True indeed, that some Aristotelians have⟳ occasionally written against the Chymical Doctrine he Oppugnes, yet since they have⟳ done it according to their Principles, And since our Carneades must as well oppose⟳ their Hypothesis as that of the Spagyrist, he was fain to fight⟳ his Adverfaries with their own⟳ Weapons, Those of the Peripatetick being Improper, if not hurtfull for a Person of his Tenents ; besides that those Aristotelians, (at Least, those he met with,) that have⟳ written against the Chymists, seem to have⟳ had so little Experimental Knowledge in Chymical Matters, that by their frequent Mistakes and unskilfull way of Oppugning, they have⟳ too often expos'd Themselves to the Derision of their Adversaries, for writing so Confidently against what they appear⟳ so little to understand⟳.”
