May i.
This morning, with Dr. Cockburn and Mr. Vandeput, I visit the learned Mr. le Clerc. He shewed me the Thesaurus linguae Latinae of Rob. Stephanus, improved by manuscript notes of the author’s own hand; as also Irenaeus, Lib. v. cap. 2. concerning the presence in the sacrament; and complained of Mr. Grabe, as misrepresenting the church of England in his notes. In the afternoon, in company with Mr. Vandeput, I review the cabinet of Mynhéer Uilenbroek; and by his leave copy the two following sepulchral inscriptions, one in Latin, and the other in Greek, the former of which is peculiarly remarkable for the corruption of the language.
