Very Like Each Other


IT appears that there were two persons of the name of Dr. John Thomas,

not easily to be distinguished; for somebody (says Bishop Newton) was

speaking of Dr. Thomas, when it was asked, which Dr. Thomas do you

mean?--Dr. John Thomas.--They are both named John.--Dr. Thomas who

has a living in the city.--They have both livings in the city.--Dr.

Thomas who is chaplain to the king.--They are both chaplains to the

king.--Dr. Thomas who is a very good preacher.--They are both good

preachers.--Dr. Thomas who squints.--They both squint. They were

afterwards both Bishops.
