Antiquity, what is it else (God only ex- cepted) but man's authority born some ages before us? Now for the truth of things time makes no alteration; things are still the same they are, let the time be past, present, or to come.

Those things which we reverence for antiquity what were they at their first birth? Were they false?— time cannot make them true. Were they true? — time cannot make them more true. The circumstances therefore of time in respect of truth and error is merely impertinent.

Nor rough, nor barren, are the winding ways
Of hoar Antiquity, but strewn with flowers.
