   • 1768, Edward Search [pseudonym; Abraham Tucker], “Conviction and Persuasion”, in The Light of Nature Pursued, volume I, part I (Human Nature), London: […] T. Jones, […]; and sold by T[homas] Payne, […], →OCLC, page 366:

     [N]otions rivetted in the fancy too often debauch the underſtanding and even overpovver the direct evidence of ſenſe: and that among the greateſt ſcholars as vvell as among the vulgar. For having found the latin vvords Levis light and Lævis ſmooth, Venit he comes and Venit he came, marked vvith different quantities in their Gradus, they adjudge them one ſhort and the other long and vvould be horribly ſhocked at the inharmoniouſneſs of a verſe vvherein they ſhould be introduced in each others places: but as our modern latiniſts pronounce thoſe vvords it vvould puzzle the niceſt ear to diſtinguiſh any difference in the ſounds.
