Objection against a Changeling being something between a Man and Beast, answered.
Here everybody will be ready to ask, If changelings may be supposed something between man and beast, pray what are they?
I answer, CHANGELINGS; which is as good a word to signify something different from the signification of MAN or BEAST, as the names man and beast are to have significations different one from the other.

This, well considered, would resolve this matter, and show my meaning without any more ado.

But I am not so unacquainted with the zeal of some men, which enables them to spin consequences, and to see religion threatened, whenever any one ventures to quit their forms of speaking, as not to foresee what names such a proposition as this is like to be charged with: and without doubt it will be asked, If changelings are something between man and beast, what will become of them in the other world?
To which I answer, I.It concerns me not to know or inquire.

To their own master they stand or fall.

It will make their state neither better nor worse, whether we determine anything of it or no.
