  * Nous aurions quelque interêt, says Baillet, de montrer qu’il n’a rien de ridicule s’il étoit véritable, au moins dans le sens énigmatique que Nicius Erytbræus a tâché de lui donner. Cet auteur dit que pour comprendre comme Lipse, a pû composer un ouvrage le premier jour de sa vie, il faut s’imaginer, que ce premier jour n’est pas celui de sa naissance charnelle, mais celui au quel il a commencé d’user de la raison; il veut que ç’ait été a l’age de neuf ans; et il nous veut persuader que ce fut en cet âge, que Lipse fit un poem.——Le tour est ingenieux, &c. &c.
