ufed when more than two things come under confidera- 
tion : as where Addifon ufes “ determined in his condudl 
neither by the didlates of his own confidence, the fuggefi- 
tions of true honour, nor the principles of religion.” He 
Ihould have either left out “ the fuggeftions of true ho¬ 
nour,” or he fliould have fiaid, “ is not determined by the 
didates of his own confidence, the fuggeftions of true 
honour, or the principles of religion. Bp. Hurd. —We 
cannot think this a proper objection; for furely nei¬ 
ther of three things is as eafy to be conceived, and as 
fitly expreffed, as neither of two things.—Men lived at 
home, neither intent upon any foreign merchandifie, nor 
inquifitive after the lives and fortunes of their neigh¬ 
bours. Heylin.

ye touch it. Gen. iii. 3.—This commandment ftandeth 
not for a cypher, neither is it read and expounded in vain 
among Chnltians. White. —Sometimes at the end of a fen¬ 
tence it follows as a negative; and, though not very 
grammatically, yet emphatically, after another negative; 
in old Englilh, two negatives denied.—If it be thought 
that it is the greatnefs of diftance, whereby the found 
cannot be heard ; we fee that lightnings and corulcations, 
near at hand, yield no found neither. Bacon. —Men come 
not to the knowledge of ideas which are thought innate 
till they come to the ufe of reafon, nor then neither. Locke.
