BLOIS

into the wery first rank wheir at the distributor I demanded a
pair of Theses, who civilly gave me a pair, against which tho 1
had not sein them till then, I durst have ventred a extemporary
argument, give I had knowen their ceremonies they used in
their disputing and proponing, which I fand litle differing from
our oune mode. The most part of the impugners ware of the
religious orders some of them very sharply, some tolerably
and some pittifully. The first that began was a Minim against
a Logicall Thes[is] that was thus, Relatio et Termi~:zc,p non
diatinguuniur. The fellows argument was that usual one, qtue
se~paraniur diatinguuntur et iecec, etc. the Lad answered by a
distinction, qucE separantur per se verum: per accidens, fal8u~rt
and so they went on. The lad chanced to transmit a proposi..
tion one tyme the fellow in a drollery replied, .ri tu transmittas

e,go-revocaLo. Thus have we dwelt enough on Orleans, its
hy tyme for us to leeve it.

On the 2d day after this dispute, being the 14 of July wt
the French and consequently the 4 wt the Scots, 1 took boat
at Orleans, the Mr. of Ogilvy wt James his man, as also
Danglebern accompanieng me to the boat. 1 left Salt 1
Orleans and sett up for Blois. In the boat among others
were 3 of the order of Charité (as they calt it) who begin-
ning to sing their redicoulous matins, perceiving that I
concurred not wt them, they immediatly suspected me for a
Haeretick. One of them put me in mind of honest James Douy
not only for his wisage but also for his zeall and ardeur he
showed to have me converted and brought back to the mother
church. That he seimed to me to personate Mr. Douy not
only in his wisage but also in his strickness and bigotry-being
oftner in telling of his beads then both his other 2 companions
fat-looged stirro\Vs 2 ware-made me fall into the abstract
notion that thess who resemble in wisage usually agry in
nature and manners, which at that tyme I thought was to be
imputed to that influence which the temperament or crasis 4
primaruna qualitatum hath on the soull to make it partaker of
its nature.

Betuixt Orleans and Blois of tounes on the river we saw

1 Dear, expensive.

2 Fat.cared fellows. I presume that loog is lug, ear.
