 end of fonr or five years, pafTcd principally with BartUolinc, 

 to whom he was (Irongly attached, he fettled at Bern. His 

 works are principally eontroverfial, defending the priority 

 of the difcovcry of the lymphatics by Barthohne, agalnfl 

 Rudbeck tiie Swede, who claimed it ; and who, if he did 

 not difcover tiiem, Hallcr fays, has the merit of having more 

 fully and accurately defcribtd them, than Bartholine had 

 done. Bogden, in this contcll, difplayed much learning, but 

 equal roughnefs and iil-humour. The titles of his works 

 are; " Rndbtkii inlidi^ ilrutla; vafis lymphaticis Thomx

 in founding this changeable palfage, and giving directions to 

 thofe who navigate 1;. The incrcafing danger of thi? paflage

BOGOMILI, or B. GARMiT.E, in EcckfwjVical Hiflcry, 

 a fcct fprung from the Manichecs, or rather frem tiie Maf- 

 falians, towards the clofe of the eleventh century ; whofe 

 chief, Bafll, was burnt alive by order of the emperor Alexius 

 Comnenus. Being condemned to bs; burnt, he declared that 

 the fire would not hurt him ; upon which the Greeks who car- 

 ried him to execution, fir'.'c took off his cloak, and flung it into 

 the fire, to try whether it would prove incombuftible ; whilft 

 it was burning, the poor fanatic cried out, " Do you not fee 

 that my cloak is untouched, and carried away in the air :" 

 upon which they caft him alfo into the fire, where he was

 two words in the Bulgarian language ; Bog, Drus, and niUvi, 

 miftrere, have mercy. The Bogomili denitd tiie Trinity ; 

 maintaining that God had a human form; that the world 

 and all animal bodies were created by evil angels ; and hence 

 they concluded, that the body was the prifon of the immor- 

 tal fpirit, and that it ought to be enervated by failing, con- 

 templation, and other exercifes, fo that the 'foul might be 

 gradually reftored to its primitive liberty ; and that wedlock
