Wherefore I
confess, I propos'd divers Scruples, and particularly whether the Doctor
had taken care to bind a Napkin or Hankerchief over his Eyes so carefully,
as to be sure he could make no use of his Sight, though he had but
Counterfeited the want of it, to which I added divers other Questions, to
satisfie my Self, whether there were any Likelihood of Collusion or other
Tricks. But I found that the Judicious Doctor having gone farr out of his
way, purposely to satisfie Himself and his Learned Prince about this
Wonder, had been very Watchfull and Circumspect to keep _Himself_ from
being Impos'd upon. And that he might not through any mistake in point of
Memory mis-inform _Me_, he did me the Favour at my Request, to look out the
Notes he had Written for his Own and his Princes Information, the summ of
which Memorials, as far as we shall mention them here, was this, That the
Doctor having been inform'd at _Utrecht_, that there Lived one at some
Miles distance from _Maestricht_, who could distinguish Colours by the
Touch, when he came to the last nam'd Town, he sent a Messenger for him,
and having Examin'd him, was told upon Enquiry these Particulars:
[4] Since for his eminent Qualities and Loyalty Grac'd, by his Majesty,
with the Honour of Knighthood.
