Thomas Vaughan Anthroposophia Theomagica (1650)

This service is offered, but how welcome it is to you, I do not know. If you choose to kick and fling original: "kick and fling"; meaning to react with violent or stubborn opposition against it, I shall say with the Cardinal, "Even my ass kicks back" original Latin: "Etiam Asinus meus recalcitrat": for I value no man's censure original: "Censure"; here meaning harsh judgment or unfavorable opinion. It is an age wherein truth is near a miscarriage, and it is enough for me that I have appeared this far for it, in a day of necessity.
