"What this Author says, does by no means take off from the Calumny: that he as a <i>Rasa Tabula</i>, <i>educated in the Country</i>: for tho' it be highly Reasonable that every <i>Rasa Tabula</i> should be well Educated, yet even a Country Education is not to be despised; I have known a Square <i>Rasa Tabula</i> of a Stone under the Education of a Country Cutter, speak sense enough to entitle it to a Place in a Church-yard: and therefore I see no Reason, why a Human <i>Rasa Tabula</i>, with a Country Education, should not deserve a Place in a Church and make a very good Catholick."
