lie that dippeth, Mark 14. 20. John 13. 26, When I have'dipped

well.
Although he had not been engaged ae all in the Difpute himfelf,
and the Doctor had been fatigued by fo long a Pifputation,

Difputation. And Mr. L'^igh ( after he had made a Speech to
thank the Govsrqour and the Mayor for their Civility towards
them.
