Time often wears away in the End, to the Difcre* 
dit of the Calumniator. 
- Abfentem qui rodit amicum ; 
Qui non defendit , alio culpante ,* folutos 
Qui c apt at rifus hominum , famamque dicacis \ 
Fingere qui non vifa pot eft > commijj a tacere 
Qui nequit $ hie niger eft : hunc tu , Romane 7 
caveto . Hor. lib. I. Sat . 4. 
Mordear opprobriis falfts , mutemque colores ? 
Falfus honor juvat 7 et mendax infamia terreti 
Quern , nift mendo[um y et mendacem ? - — 
Hor. lib. I. Ep. 16. 
The fufpicious and jealous Man may be repre- 
fented alio by this delcribed Countenance, or upon 
the fame Principles 5 for imaginary Griefs of this 
kind, as well as real ones, produce a Depravation 
of Temper : The gay Humour grows muddy, when 
this Paffion begins, and the Struggle between Love 
and Refentment produces a Conflid, which termi- 
nates in a Refolution upon Revenge, and which is 
accompanied with this fort of Countenance. 
The learned Dr. Hoadley has carried this Charac» 
ter thro* all the Windings and Intricacies that a Mind 
prone to plague itfelf, and the reft of Mankind, can 
poffibly enter into. He has fliew'd new Jealoufies 
Succeeding others, and the torturing Rack, upon 
which the Peace of fufpicious Tempers is daily 
broken. The Doubts, Fears, Refolutions, Rage, 
Paufes, Credulity, and Miftrufts, are painted in their 
moft natural Colours 5 and have been well repre- 
sented
