 and gives greater security to human life, but 

 which, I say, also gives us a class of men who 

 are an ornament to society and to this country, 

 with a knowledge of the languages and the 

 various branches of philosophy, which gives 

 that insight into nature and its works which are 

 acquired in the learned institutions, which now 

 are to be broken down, and all sort of persons 

 are to be suffered to do What ? Not to practise 

 physic, for they practise it already, but they 

 are to be let in for the purpose of governing 

 one of the wisest and the most learned bodies ; 

 of governing men who, one and all of them, 

 almost, are deeply skilled in every thing that 

 learning and science have brought forth in any 

 age ; and yet, forsooth, it is to be considered, 

 as if the charter and acts of parliament were 

 likely to suffer, because a man has kept his learn- 

 ing so much to himself, that nobody could everjind 

 it out) so as to be able to think it was wise or decent
