FOOTNOTES:

[106] This blunder I do not venture to transfer from the poet to the printer, with Dr Carey, who reads prayers. But Dryden's rhymes are in general exceedingly accurate; and many of the examples to the contrary, quoted by Dr Carey, only seem less so to us, by the fluctuation of the mode of pronouncing. I strongly believe, for example, that the word sea was formerly pronounced somewhat like say; for all the poets, down to Pope inclusive, make it rhyme to way, array, &c.
