or raving and insane; because, when about to deliver the oracles, they were supposed to be seized with a divine fury; and this opinion they confirmed by the frequent shaking of the head, and other actions indicating madness.

Any one raving or insane; wildly enthusiastic: a wild, irrational enthusiast.

A Christen mannis obedyence standeth not in the fulfyllyng of fanaticall vowes, as they haue bene vsed, better broken than kepte, but in the faythfull obseruation of God's holy preceptes, declared by Christe in hys Gospell. Bale. Apology, fol. 96.

Pretending to be the setter of France at freedome, and a God, (for so he intitled himself,) he had drawen already together eight thousand men, and began to waste the frontiers of the Æduans: but that graue and wise city, assembling the choice of their youth with some of Vitellius's cohorts, discomfited that fanatical multitude.

Savile. Tacitus. Historie, p. 82.

No wonder then in the reforming of a church, which is never brought to effect without the fierce encounter of truth and falsehood together, if (as it were the splinters and shares of so violent a jousting.) there fall from between the shock many fond errors and fanatic opinions.

Milton. Reason of Church Government, b. i. c. 7.

The men shaking and wagging their bodies too and fro after a fanaticall fashion, as if they were bestraught and out of their right wits, seeme to divine and tell things to come.-Holland. Livivs, p. 1031.

There is a treasury of merits in the fanatick church, as well as in the papist, and a pennyworth to be had of saintship, honesty, and poetry, for the lewd, the factious, and the blockheads.-Dryden. Pref. to Absalom & Achitophel.

Nay they are fanaticks too, however that word seem to have a more peculiar respect to something of a Deity: all atheists being that blind Goddess, Nature's fanaticks.

Cudworth. Intellectual System, p. 134.

And thus I have shewen, under five material heads, that the knowledge of nature and the works of God, promotes the greatest interests of religion; and by the three last it appears how fundamentally opposite it is to all schism and fanaticism, which are made up and occasioned by superstition, enthusiasm, and ignorant perverse disputings.

Glanvill, Essay 4. s. 3. From hence weak and wicked men have taken the handle to ascribe all religion to enthusiasm or fanaticism; that is, to a kind of phrensy or dotage.

Waterland. Works, vol. viii. p. 61.

Indeed all claims to any internal notices exclusive of God's written word, whether they be entitled inspiration, or internal revelation, or inward light, or reason, or infallibility, or what else soever; I say, all such claims brought to exclude Scripture. are enthusiastick and fanatical, false and vain. Id. Ib. vol. viii. p. 67.

That temper of prophaneness, whereby a man is disposed to contemu and despise all religion (how slightly soever men may think of it) is much worse than infidelity, than fanaticalness, and idolatry.-Wilkins. Nat. Relig. b. ii. c. 1.

It is common with them to dispute as if they were in a conflict with some of those exploded fanaticks of slavery, who formerly maintained what I believe no creature now maintains, that the crown is held by divine, hereditary, and indefeasible right.-Burke. On the French Revolution.

These old fanaticks of single arbitrary power dogmatized as if hereditary royalty was the only lawfull government in the world, just as our new fanaticks of popular arbitrary power maintain, that a popular election is the sole lawfull source of authority.-Id. Ib.

Tho' all these reason-worshippers profess
To guard against fanatical excess,
Enthusiastic heat, their favourite theme,
Draws their attention to the cold extreme.

Byrom. Thoughts upon Human Reason. When men are furiously and fanatically fond of an object, they will prefer it, as is well known, to their own peace, to their own property, and to their own lives; and can there be a doubt in such a case that they would prefer it to the peace of their country?-Burke. Petition of the Unitarians.

From the consequences of the genius of Henry Duke of Visco did the British American empire arise, an empire which, unless retarded by the illiberal and inhuman spirit of religious fanaticism, will in a few centuries perhaps be the glory of the world.-Mickle. Introduction to the Luciad.

or imagine; to depicture, delineate, or portray, the forms or images, the qualities or appearances of things; to appropriate them to other things; sometimes restricted to-pleasing qualities; and thus, to funcy, or have a fancy for, is to like, to have a liking or desire for; sometimes opposed to, or distinguished from,-to reason strictly, to argue convincingly; and thus, to assume, to suppose, to take for granted.

See the poetical description of Fancy in the quotation from Milton.

To fancy, as distinguished from imagination, may be ascribed the province of personifying, and of investing the personification, with the qualities of real beings.

Which mercie he had afore promised by his word (being vttered by the mouthes of the prophetes) to the people of Israell, whom as a people more derely beloued and fansied euen for his owne tooth, he doeth in Holy Scriptures call his seruaunt.-Udal. Luke, c. 1.

And if we agree with the philosophers that there is (materia prima) whiche in all thinges is one and altereth not, but as a newe forme cummeth, taketh a newe name, fansinge that as one waue in the water thrusteth away another, so doth one fourme another.

Bp. Gardner, fol. 137. Of Transubstantiation. And being moued with their light reports and here-sayes, they fal to counsel oftentimes euen of most weighty matters: wherof they must needs repent them by and by after, seeing they are so fondly led by vncertaine rumors, and that divers persons tell the forged newes to fede their fancyes withall.-Goldyng. Cæsar, fol. 87.

The poets seeke to proffit thee

Or at one time things of proffit

I dare not force affection, or presume
To censure her discretion, that looks on me
As a weak man, and not her fancy's idol.

Massinger. The Bondman, Act v. sc. 3.

Play with your fancies: and in them behold,
Vpon the hempen tackle, ship-boyes climbing;
Heare the shrill whistle, which doth order give
To sounds confus'd: behold the threaden sayles,
Borne with th' inuisible and creeping wind,
Draw the huge bottoms through the furrow'd sea,
Bresting the lofty surge.-Shakespeare. Hen. V. Chorus.

But know, that in the soule

Are many lesser faculties, that serve
Reason as chief; among these Fansie next
Her office holds; of all external things,
Which the five watchful senses represent,
She forms imaginations, aerie shapes,
Which Reason, joyning or disjoyning, frames
All what we affirm or what deny, and call
Our knowledge or opinion; then retires
Into her privat cell, when nature rests.

Milton. Paradise Lost, b. v.

Not only the melancholick and the fanciful, but the grave and the sober, whose judgments we have no reason to suspect to be tainted by their imaginations, have from their own knowledge and experience made reports of this nature. Glanvill, Ess. 6. s. 6.

Albertus Magnus, as I remember, with somewhat curiosity, and somewhat transported with too much fancifulness towards the influences of the heavenly motions and astrological calculations, supposeth that religion hath had its successive alterations and seasons according to certain periodical revolutions of the planets.

Hale. Origin. of Mankind, p. 168. Others, whom avaricious thoughts bewitch, Consume their time to multiply their gains; And, fancying wretched all that are not rich, Neglect the end of life to get the means.

Walsh. Retirement.

Every opinion concerning the divine nature or perfections which is in itself absurd and unintelligible, is just so far hurtful to religion, as it diverts men from the practice of the law of righteousness, by filling them with a childish and superstitious imagination, that God is pleas'd with their pretending or fansying that they believe they know not what. Clarke, vol. i. Ser. 35.

While in dark ignorance we lay, afraid
Of fancies, ghosts, and every empty shade,
Great Hobbes appear'd, and by plain Reason's light

And just as children are surprised with dread And tremble in the dark, so riper years Even in broad day-light are possess'd with fears; And shake at shadows fanciful and vain As those which in the breasts of children reign. Dryden. Lucretius, b. il Even in painting, a judicious obscurity in some things contributes to the effect of the picture; because the images in painting are exactly similar to those in nature; and in nature, dark, confused, uncertain images have a greater power on the fancy to form the grander passions than thos have which are more clear and determinate. Burke. On the Sublime and Beautiful.

These shocking extremes, provoking to extremes of another kind, speculations are let loose as destructive to all authority, as the former are to all freedom; and every government is called tyranny and usurpation which is not formed on their fancies.-Id. Let. to the Sheriffs of Bristol

I love a fanciful disorder

And straggling out of rule and order;
Impute not that to vacant head,
Of what I've writ, or what I've said,
Which imputation can't be true,
Where head and heart's so full of you.

Lloyd. A Familiar Letter of Rhymes. For wit consists in using strong metaphoric images in uncommon yet apt allusions: just as antient Egyptian wisdom did in hieroglyphic symbols fancifully analogized. Warburton. Divine Legation, b. iv. s. 4.

(farer,-to sound or resound, as trumpets; to challenge or brave one with sound of trumpets; to brag, vaunt; niake a great flourish or bravado," (Cotgrave.) The word, says Menage, is Arabic, and signifies light, inconstant, talkative; one who promises more than he can perform.

Virgil makes Æneas a bold avower of his owne virtues. Sum pius Eneas famâ super æthera notus; which, in the civility of our poets is the character of a fanfaron or Hector: for with us the knight takes occasion to walk out, or sleep, to avoid the vanity of telling his own story, which the trusty 'squire is ever to peform for him. Dryden. On Dramatick Poesy,

The second notification was the king's acceptance of the new constitution; accompanied with fanfaronades in the modern style of the French bureaus, things which have

Shakespeare. Henry IV. Act iv. sc. 1.

Her face, her hands, her naked limbs were torn,

Two mastiffs gaunt and grim her flight pursu'd,
And oft their fasten'd fangs in blood embru'd.

Scarce sounds so far
The direful fragor, when some southern blast

Wults. The Victory of the Poles.

In Poland, liberty is subverted: that fair portion of the creation seized by the relentless fangs of despotism; the wretched inhabitants reduced to the same situation with the other slaves of their new masters, and in order to add insult to cruelty, enjoined to sing Te Deum for the blessings thus conferred upon them.-Fox. Speech, Jan. 1794.

FANGLE, n. Perhaps, says Skinner, from FANGLED. the old word Fangles, cœpta, FANGLENESS. and this from A. S. Feng-an, suscipere, rem aggredi, capessere, (sc.) nova cœpta. Applied to

An attempt at something new; a foolish innovation.

The word is of rare occurrence without the epithet new.

As doeth the Tidife, for new fanglenesse.

Where fantasy, near hand maid to the mind,

Sits and beholds, and doth discern them all;
Compounds in one things different in their kind;
Compares the black and white, the great and small.
Besides, those single forms she doth esteem,

And in her balance doth their values try;
Where some things good, and some things ill do seem,
And neutral some in her fantastic eye.
This busy power is working day and night;
For when the outward senses rest do take,

A thousand dreams, fantastical and light,
With fluttering wings do keep her still awake.

Sir John Davies. Immortality of the Soul, s. 20. For however in matter of sensation, it [my soul] sees by the eyes, and hears by the eares. and imagines by those fantasms that are represented unto it; yet when it comes to the higher works of intellectual elevations, how doth it leave the body below it.

Of dreadfull things, the same was put to flight.
Spenser. Faerie Queene, b. iii. c. 2.

Yea, through the indiscretions and inconsiderateness of some preachers, the fantastry and vain-babble of others, and the general disposition of the people to admire what makes a great show, and pretends to more than ordinary spirituality; things are in many places come to that pass, that those who teach Christian vertue and Religion, in plainness and simplicity without senseless phrases, and

fantastick affectations, shall be reckon'd for dry moralists, and such as understand nothing of the life and power of godliness.-Glanvill, Ser. 1.

Rowe. The Biter, Act i.

Mr. Douce says, that fap certainly means drunk, as appears from the Glossaries; and Mr. Nares declares, that he has met with it in no Glossary and in this he is not singular. Goose-berries are in some counties called feabes or feaberries, and in Suffolk, fapes; whence Mr. Moore suggests that we may be helped to the meaning of the word. Fap, (sc.) intoxicated with goose or fea-berry wine, and thus (generally) drunk. Fea-berry, Skinner thinks, may be so called from fean, gefean, gaudere, to gladden; because these berries are pleasing both to the sight and palate.

FARCE, v. FARCE, n.

Daillé. Apology for the Reformed Churches.

FA'RCEMENT.

FARCICAL.

FA'RCICALLY.

Fr. Farcir; Lat. Farcire, to stuff or cram. With respect to farce, the noun, it is said, by Menage, to be a mixture or medley of various sorts of viands; and applied, (with the It. Farsa,) to a species of comedy, quod rerum varietate farsa sit because it is stuffed or filled with a variety of things, or with incidents of various kinds. See his Dict. Etym. and Orig. della Lin. Ital. in vv. Farce and Farsa.

To stuff, to cram. See FORCEMEAT.

His tippet was ay farsed ful of knives
And pinnes for to given fayre wives.

He loued not these counterfaiting plaiers of farces and mummeries, and yet lesse trewandes, that ben natural fooles, iuglers, and iesters for pleasure.-Golden Boke, c. 14. The substance of the whole is nothinge else but flatteringe, and auancinge of the see of Rome, farced vp, and set out with lies and without shame. Jewell. Replie to M. Hardinge, p. 233. Besides, they could wish, your poets would leave to bee promoters of other men's jests, and to way-lay all the stale apothegmes, or old books, they can heare of (in print, or otherwise,) to farce their scenes withall.

B. Jonson. Cynthia's Revells, Ind.

They often spoil a good dish, with improper sawce, and unsavory farcements.-Feltham, pt. i. Res. 93.

Farce is that in poetry, which grotesque is in picture. The persons and action of a farce are all unnatural, and the manners false, that is, inconsisting with the characters of mankind.-Dryden. Parallel of Poetry and Painting.

FARD.

Fr. Farder; of uncertain FARDING, n. Setymology. Menage derives it from the Lat. Fucus, thus: Fucus, fucardus, fuardus, fardus, fard: an etymology which, his editor says, cannot possibly be received. Cotgrave says, it is properly ceruse or white lead. Painting, also, any coloured or adulterate beauty.

Truth is a matron; error a curtizan; the matron cares onely to concile love by a grave and gracefull modesty, the curtizan with philtres and farding.

Bp. Hall. Sermon at Thebald, Sept. 15, 1628. These present us with the Skeleton of History, not merely clothed with muscles, animated with life, and bearing the bloom of health upon its cheek, but instead of carrying a higher flush of health upon its cheek, and shewing a brighter beam of life in its eyes, rubbed with Spanish wool, painted with French fard, and exhibiting the fire of falsehood and wantonness in its eyes.-Whitaker. Review of Gibbon's Hist.

FA'RDEL. Fr. Fardeau; It. Fardello; Sp. Fardel; Dut. Fardeel; from the Lat. Farcire, to stuff, cram, or pack close.

A package, a bundle.

Heaping burden upon burden, ye laye vpō the shoulders of the simple people, a whole fardel vnpossible to be borne. Udal. Luke, c. 11.

FAREWELL, N.

A.S. Far-an, to go. Fare, in Fare-well, is the imperative of Far-an, to go or to fare. "So it is equally said in English, How fares it? how goes it?" (Tooke.) And, consequentially, How is it with you; how proceed, or succeed you; what do you get; how are you treated; how provided for.

To go or move on, to proceed, to advance, to succeed; to be treated or provided for.

Fearm-ian, feormian, victum præbere, to supply food; husbandmen or farmers (as they allege) not originally paying their landlord money, then very scarce, but food (victum) and other necessary articles. And see the quotation from Blackstone, who adopts the opinion of Spelman and Skinner. By application, to farm, is

To hire or take upon hire; to hold or take for certain rents or sums to be rendered, or other considerations required and performed; to let land or other property upon such conditions;

to till or cultivate land.

Cato would have this point especially to be considered, that the soil of a farme (situate as hath been said) be good of itselfe, and fertile: also, that neare unto it there be store of labourers and that it be not farre from a good and strong towne; moreover, that it have sufficient meanes for transporting of the commodities which it yieldeth, either by vessels upon water or otherwise by waines upon the land.

Burke. On Mr. Fox's East India Bill.

Farm or feorme, is an old Saxon word signifying provi

sions; and it came to be used instead of rent or render,

because antiently the greater part of rents were reserved in provisions; in corn, in poultry, and the like; till the use of money became more frequent. So that a former, firmarius, forme; though at present by a gradual departure from the was one who held his lands upon payment of a rent or

original sense, the word farm is brought to signify the very estate or lands so held upon farm or rent.

Parere, has furnished this word. Jamieson decides for the Lat. Verres. But the word may originally be northern. Fara, (A. S. Far-an, to go,) is used in Swed. for coire; and in A. S. Fare, the noun, is, familia, comitatus; and faras, generationes, (see Ihre and Lye,) and may have been applied to any fruit or produce of coition, of going or coming together; and thus, to any thing begotten or brought forth.
