Notes to Chapter 139 Petri Molinaei (Pierre Du Moulin), Parerga. Poematum Libelli Tres (Cambridge, 1670),
Book II, sigs F8–F8v, 36–42. Lieb, Milton and the Culture of Violence, 242, sees the
Harapha episode in Samson as Milton’s riposte to the violent attack on him in the Regia
Sanguinis Clamor, and especially this poem.
40 Du Moulin, Parerga, Book III, 141–2; trans. LR V, 22–3.
41 His divorce tracts and other early works were also still circulating. The bookseller John
Starkey’s Catalogue issued on May 29, 1971 listed not only Paradise Regained and Samson
but also Tetrachordon and Accidence Commenc’t Grammar (Chronology, 212). Samuel von
Pufendorf cites Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce in De Jure Naturae (Lund, 1672).
42 Joannis Miltoni Angli, Artis Logicae Plenior Institutio, Ad Petri Rami Methodum Concinnata,
Adjecta est Praxis Annalytica & Petri Rami vita (London, 1672). In the first issue Spencer
Hickman, identified as Printer to the Royal Society, serves as both printer and book-
seller, but a new title page substituted in many copies of this issue and dated 1673,
identifies him as printer (S. H.) and the bookseller as R. Boulter, at a new address. For
some reason having to do with Milton’s revisions or a major printing error or some-
thing else, pages 1–4 were reprinted and substituted for the original pages, and the
gatherings were reconstituted, leaving stubs. The Term Catalogues, licensed May 13,
1672, list the work (I, 115).
43 Dolle’s portrait is too big for the book’s duodecimo format, suggesting that it may have
been intended for another work. It would fit the Paradise Regained/Samson volume
printed for Starkey, or the 1674 Paradise Lost printed for Simmons. Hickman may have
been promised Milton’s Artis Logicae ... Institutio while he was involved with the His-
tory of Britain and arranged for Dolle to make a copy of the Faithorne engraving.

45 “Quae igitur numero, essentia quoque differunt; & nequaquam numero, nisi essentia,
differrent. Evigilent hic Theologi”: Artis Logicae ... Institutio, I.7; CM XI, 58–9; cf. CPW
VI, 212, 262; and chapter 12, p. 426.
46 Artis Logicae ... Institutio, II.3; CM XI, 314–15; cf. CPW VI, 214–15.
47 Artis Logicae ... Institutio, I.5; CM XI, 42–3; cf. CPW VI, 159–60; and chapter 12,
p. 429.
48 See Leo Miller, “Milton Edits Freigius’ ‘Life of Ramus,’ ” Renaissance and Reformation 8
(1972), 112–14. There would be no reason for Milton to condense Freigius’s life of
Ramus while he was using his Artis Logicae ... Institutio with his own students.
49 See, for example, John Hales, Golden Remains (London, 1673) and his earlier classic A
Tract concerning Schisme and Schismatiques (London, 1642), which became increasingly
popular after the Restoration. Cf. Edward Fowler, The Principles and Practices of Certain
Moderate Divines of the Church of England (London, 1670).
50 See, for example, Edward Stillingfleet, A Discourse concerning the Idolatry Practised in the
Church of Rome (London, 1671), reissued three times by 1673. Bishop Gilbert Burnet
reports that “Popery was every where preached against.... The bishops, he of London
in particular, charged the clergy to preach against popery, and to inform the people
aright in the controversies between us and the church of Rome:” History of My Own
Time, ed. Osmund Airy, 2 vols (Oxford, 1897), I, 555.
