Ver. 149, 150. Jacob, the scourge of Grammar, mark with awe; Nor less revere him, blunderbuss of Law. ]
There may seem some error in these verses, Mr. Jacob having proved our author to have a Respect for him, by this undeniable argument. ""He had once a Regard for my Judgment; otherwise he would never have subscribed Two Guineas to me, for one small Book in octavo."" Jacob's Letter to Dennis, printed in Dennis's Remarks on the Dunciad, pag. 49. Therefore I should think the appellation of Blunderbuss to Mr. Jacob, like that of Thunderbolt to Scipio, was meant in his honour.
Mr. Dennis argues the same way. ""My writings having made great impression on the minds of all sensible men, Mr. P. repented, and to give proof of his Repentance, subscribed to my two volumes of select Works, and afterward to my two Volumes of Letters."" Ibid. pag. 80. We should hence believe, the Name of Mr. Dennis hath also crept into this poem by some mistake. But from hence, gentle reader! thou may'st beware, when thou givest thy money to such Authors, not to flatter thyself that my motives are Good-nature or Charity.",,12507,"•Note to line ""Jacob, the scourge of Grammar, mark with awe,""","""Mr. Dennis argues the same way.

Dar'st thou, Oh Christian! brave the sounding waves,
The treach'rous whirlwinds, and untrophied graves?
Regardless of my woes securely go,
No curse-fraught accents from these lips shall flow;
My fondest wish shall catch thy flying sail,
Attend thy course, and urge the fav'ring gale:
May ev'ry bliss thy God confers be thine,
And all thy share of woe compris'd in mine.

This is the gold, this is the tribute our Sovereign expects from us. When the Jews asked him concerning their giving tribute to Cæsar, he called for their coin, in which they had the image of Cæsar; and inferred from thence, that they were to render to Cæsar the things that were Cæsar's, (Matt. xxii.) that is, to give him what was stampt with his image. Our souls are stampt with God's own image, to this very end, that we should give them in tribute to him, by perfect love: render then to God the things that are God's; by daily offering your whole souls up to him, by fervent acts of love; and you shall have given him your gold.
