APOLOGETICK, adj. APOLOGETICAL. To speak in answer, to defend, to vindicate, to justify; now, more commonly, to excuse. See the quotation from Sir T. More. For in ye booke that is called mine apology, it is not required by the nature of that name, that it be any aunswere or defence for mine own selfe at all: but it sufficeth that it be of mine owne making an aunswere or defence for some other.-Sir T. More. Workes, p. 932. Buck. Famous Plantagenet, most gracious prince, Lend favourable ear to our requests; man.-I need say no more for the worth of a writing of that And verily that apophthegmatical and powerfull speech of A poet or orator would have no more to do but to send to In a numerous collection of our Saviour's apophthegms, And pardon vs the interruption Of thy devotion, and right Christian zeale.

Apollonius himself was a clear and undoubted assertor of one Supreme Deity, as is evident from his apologetick oration in Philostratus, prepared for Domitian, in which he calls him, that God who is the maker of the whole universe, and of all things.-Cudworth. Intellectual System, p. 269. Soon after, a handsome apologetical letter was sent from the vice-chancellor to Sir W. Ralegh, setting forth, that the hard opinion he had conceived of them, made them doubt what manner of answer they might address to him without offence; and that their silence was so ill taken, they knew not how their endeavours to excuse it might give him satisfaction.-Oldys. Life of Sir W. Ralegh, p. 27. The most ancient Apologist, of whose works we have the smallest knowledge, is Quadratus. Quadratus lived about 70 years after the Ascension, and presented his Apology to the Emperor Adrian.-Paley. Evidences, pt. iii. c. 5.

My Lord Bacon, a much better apologist than I am, had obviated the objection made to Descartes long before this philosopher had writ.--Bolingbroke. Ess. on Human Know. APOLOGUE. Į Of the same origin with A'POLOGUER. Apology; though differently applied. Apology being generally applied to that which is said in defence, and Apologue to that which is said, told, narrated against vice or error; and consequentially to explain or enforce moral principles. They that intend charitably and conduct wisely, take occasions and proper seasons of reproof, they do it by way of question and similitude, by narrative and apologues, by commending something in him that is good, and discommending the same fault in other persons by way that may disgrace that vice, and preserve the reputation of the man. Bp. Taylor, vol. i. Ser. 25. A mouse [saith an apologer] was brought up in a chest ; there fedde with fragments of bread and cheese, though there could bee no better meat, till comming forth at last, and feeding liberally of other variety of viands, loathed his former life.-Burton. Anatomy of Melancholy, p. 551. In all ages of the world, there is nothing with which mankind hath been so much delighted as with those little fictitious stories, which go under the name of fables or apologues among the ancient heathens, and of parables in the sacred writings.-Porteus, vol. i.

High in the midst, exalted as a God, That the church of Rome is itself; that is, a church, that it is visible, that it is truly existent, there can be no doubt : but is it still a part of the truly existent visible church of Christ? Surely, no otherwise than a heretical and apostatical church is and may be.-Id. Reconciler. As force is inconsistent with the nature of religion in general, and still more opposite to the spirit of Christianity in particular, so it is in Scripture, still further, made the distinguishing character of the great apostacy foretold by Christ and his Apostles.-Clarke, vol. i. Ser. 114. What a wretched and apostate state is this! to be offended with excellence, and to hate a man because we approve him. Spectator, No. 19. The idolatry of the Church in her Apostacies, is represented as the adultery of a married woman. Horsley, vol. i. Ser. 5. In opening an apostem by incision, you ought to take care that the apertion be made in that place where the matter is most contained, the skin being for the most part thinnest there.-Wiseman.

For as Chryste lokyng vp into Heauen, declared that h taughte nothyng, but that came from the heauenly father so the Apostolycall men as often as they sawe the people t depend of their mouthe, with a plaine and a simple fayth they shuld purpose nothyng vnto them, whiche they ha not receiued of Christ -Udal.

Although deacons and priests have part of these offices, a! therefore (though in a very limited sense) they may be called successores Apostolorum, to wit, in the power of baptiring, consecrating the Eucharist, and preaching, yet the Apostolate and Episcopacy, which did communicate in all the wer, and offices which are ordinary and perpetual, are in Scripture clearly all one in ordinary ministration. Bp. Taylor. Episcopacy Asserted, s. 4. "You know, brother, [says Mr. Calvin,] that the fashion is otherwise with us: I bear with it because it is not profitable to contend:" a charitable rule, and worthy to be universal; and indeed little other than apostolical.

The infallibility and apostolicalness of every article of the modern Roman faith, and both these with that irrefragable evidence of conviction, that belongs to grounds.-Hammond. Works, vol. ii. p. 190. Tis well worth remarking upon this place, that the promise, ye shall sit on twelve thrones judging the twelve tribes of Irael, was made to the Apostles at that time when Judas was yet one of that number; and consequently, the promise was as much made to him as to any of the rest. From wance it follows undeniably, that he was not predestinated necesarily to be a traitor, but fell from his Apostleship, and from his right to this promise, by his after-voluntary transpression.-Clarke, vol. ii. Ser. 138. Last, in the papal standard, they display The triple crown, and apostolic key; Sev a thousand valiant Romans march behind, Brooke. Jerusalem Delivered, b. i. Having no general apostolical mission, being a citizen of a particular state, and being bound up, in a considerable degree. by its public will, I should think it, at least, improper and irregular for me to open a formal public correspondence the actual government of a foreign nation.

She came with speed in her steps, and eagerness in her eye, and said, "Give me here John the Baptist's head in a 4th is the rejecting of a vowel from the beginning charger."

Odyssey, b. xiv. v. 41. Note. How absurd would it appear, in our temperate and calm speakers, to make use of an apostrophe, like that noble one of Demosthenes, so much celebrated by Quintillian and Longiata, when justifying the unsuccessful battle of Chæronea, he breaks out.

Fr. Apanage, Appannage, Appennage; Law Lat. Appenagium, Appanagium. Menage and Caseneuve have written fully upon the origin of this word. Spelman favours the opinion, that Pana-gium is from Panis; or, if the word is properly written, Appenagium, he is inclined to believe it formed Ab, appendendo, quasi Appendagium junioris filii. Age, the termination (Lat. Agium), he suggests, may be from Ag-ere, signifying, in composition, Actus, exhibitio, vel ministerium rei; Aquagium, he adds, from Festus, quasi Aquæ agium, id est, Aquæ ductus. In like manner, Homagium, actus vel ministerium hominis. Terragium, tributum quod terræ agit, hoc est exhibet. The root is not improbably the same A. S. Ec, eac, uc, (see AGE), denoting something added, put to or upon, imposed; charged upon. Our old law language abounds with words in this termination. Wallis thinks we have it imSee mediately from the Latin termination atio. AVERAGE, BEACONAGE, &c. &c.-Appanage is, The portion of a younger brother in France: lands, &c. assigned to younger sons, or brethren. See further in Cotgrave and Spelman. Lord Bacon calls the earldom of Chester a kind of appanage to Wales, which used to go to the king's son. Swift uses the word metaphorically. With Pæan's purest fire his favourites glow, Swift. Ep. to Mr. Gay, 1731. APPARATUS. Lat. Apparatus, a preparation. This Latin word is in common use, to denote Things prepared or provided, collectively; preparation, provision, orderly disposition or arrange ment. This goodly apparatus of the universe thus objectively derived to his understanding, furnisheth it with an outward stock, upon which it may trade and exercise it self with great delight and advantage.-Halc. Orig. of Mankind, p.366. The apprehension of but a vein to be opened is worse to some, than the apparatus to an execution is to others. Wollaston. Religion of Nature, s. 5. APPAREL, v. APPAREL, n.
