furnifiit with a genuine method of Inveftigation, may, and not 
feldome do, fall upon the fame Difcoveries and Inventions 
about the fame time, efpecially if their minds have been long 
addifted toand engaged inthefamcRefearches'. Of which, if 
there beoccafion, feveral confiderable Inflances may be pro- 
duced CO verific ihe AflTertion. One of which , and fit to be 
taken notice at prefenc , is, that when the Publifher of the 
Tranfa6ions did, not long fince, fhew to the Accufer that way 
of Monficur l^eibmtZy concerning exaft portable Watches, 
which was printed '\x\ Numb, 113. of thefe Trafts, he did 
acknowledge , that though he had known that way too, ever 
fince A. 1 66o,yet he never declared it to any body, and there- 
fore could not fay, M# Lahnitz had taken it from hiro. 
Thus I lliall difmifs him, not doubting, but that all Candid 
Readers will blame him for the expreflion he ufes p. 30. of his 
faid Poft-fcript, which is, that forbears novpto mention dny 
further the carriage of the Writer of the TranfalHons in this 
affair: And only adding, ihat if this Writer of Mechanicks 
ftall think fit to explain what he means by it , he will certainly 
meet with a full anfwer , vindicating the Integrity of the Pub- 
lifher in fuch a manner, that all impartial and good men fliall be 
abundantly fatisfied therewith.
