| Page images from MS accessed at Scriptorium: Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Online, where they appear by permission of the Provost and Fellows of King's College, Cambridge. Scriptorium eds. note that Vaughan's early writings appeared under the pseudonym 'Eugenius Philalethes', also remarking: 'The Man-Mouse was part of a pamphlet war between Vaughan and the Cambridge Platonist Henry More, and is a counter-blast to More's attacks on Vaughan in his Observations upon 'Anthroposophia theomagica', and 'Anima magica abscondita' (1650). Pordage falls firmly on More's side of the debate, and in his notes he attacks Vaughan for his 'Sauciness, & Rudeness' (p. 103).' |
