educated at Oxford. He became an eminent preacher, and chaplain to king James I. and Charles I. In 1638 he was made dean of Rochefter; and in 1641 was advanced to the fee of Chichefter. Upon the breaking out of the civil wars, and the diffolution of epifcopacy, he was treated with great severity by the friends to the parliament; but recovered his bishopric at the reftora tion. He died, leaving a moft amiable character, in 1669; and was interred at his cathedral, where a monument was erected to his memory. He pub. lifhed, 1. The pfalms of David turned into metre. 2. Poems, elegies, paradoxes, and fonnets. 3. Several fermons, and other works. (IV.) KING, John Glen, D. D. an English divine, chaplain to the factory at Petersburgh, was born at Norfolk, and educated at Caius College, Cambridge, where he graduated. He was appointed medalift to the empress Catharine II. He wrote, 1. The Rites and Ceremonies of the Greek Church; with its Doctrine, Worship, and Difcipline: 2. Obfervations on the climate of Ruffia, and the Northern Countries, with a View of the Flying Mountains near Petersburgh: 3. Obfervations on the Barberini Vafe. He died in 1787. (V.) KING, Sir Edmund, an English phyfician and chemift of the 17th century. K. Charles II. often amufed himself in his laboratory. He wrote Obfervations on Ants, inferted in the Philofophi cal Tranfa&ions, N° 23 (VI) KING, Sir Peter, lord high chancellor of England, and nephew of the great John Locke, was born at Exeter, in 1669. His father was a grocer in that city, and intended to breed him up to the fame bufinefs; but his paffion for learning foon appearing, he was allowed to follow his inclination. In this he was alfo encouraged by his uncle, who left him half of his valuable library. By his advice, he went to Leyden, and on his return, ftudied the law at the Inner Temple. But he did not neglect other studies, for in 1691 he published anonymously, An Inquiry into the Con ftitution, Difcipline, Unity, and Worship of the Primitive Church within the firft 300 years after Chrift. Lond. 1691; 8vo. He afterwards published a 2d part of this work; which gave rife to a controverly with Mr Elys. In 1669, he was elected M. P. for Beer-Alfton; which he represented in feven fucceffive parliaments. In 1702, he published his Hiftory of the Apofles Creed, a work of great merit and learning. In 1708, he was chofen recorder of London, and knighted. In 1709 he was appoint ed one of the managers of Dr Sacheverel's trial. In 1714, on the acceffion of king George I. he was made lord chief juftice of the common pleas: in 1745, created a peer, by the title of Lord KING, baron Ockham, &c. and on the 1ft June, appoint ed lord-chancellor. He refigned the feals in 1733, and died in 1734, leaving 4 fons and 2 daughters. (VII.) KING, William, a facetious English writer in the beginning of the 18th century, who was allied to the noble families of Clarendon and Rochefter. He was elected a student of Chrift-church from Weftminster school in 1681, aged 18. He afterwards ftudied the civil law, and took the degree of J. C. D. He foon acquired a confiderable reputation, and obtained great practice. He at tended the earl of Pembroke, lord lieutenant of VOL. XII. PART II. Ireland, into that kingdom, where he was ap pointed judge advocate, fole commiffioner of the prizes, keeper of the records, vicar-general to the. lord primate of Ireland; was countenanced by perfons of the highest rank, and might have made a fortune. But fo far was he from heaping up riches, that he returned to England with no other treasure than a few merry poems and humorous effays, and retired to his ftudent's place at Chriftchurch. He died Dec. 25, 1712. His principal writings are, 1. Animadverfions on a pretended ac count of Denmark, written by Mr Molefworth, afterwards lord Molefworth. This work procured Dr King the place of fecretary to princefs Anne of Denmark. 2. Dialogues of the dead. 3. The art of love, in imitation of Ovid De arte amandi. 4. A volume of poems. 5. Ufeful tranfactions. 6. An historical account of the heathen gods and heroes. 7. Several translations. Dr King hated the bufinefs of an advocate; but proved an excellent judge, when appointed one of the court of delegates. He was a man of great fenfibility, of a religious difpofition, and a strict moralift. (VIII.) KING, William, D. D. Abp. of Dublin in the 18th century, was descended from an ancient family in the north of Scotland, but born in the county of Antrim in Ireland. In 1674, he went into orders. In 1679, he was promoted by Dr Parker, Abp. of Dublin, to the chancellorship of St Patrick. In 1687 Peter Manby, dean of Londonderry, having published at London, in 4to, a pamphlet entitled, Confiderations which obliged Peter Manby to embrace the Catholic religion, Dr King immediately wrote an answer. Mr Manby published a reply, entitled, A reformed Catechism, &c. in reply to Mr King's answer, &c. Dr King rejoined in A vindication of the answer. Mr Manby dropped the controverfy; but difperfed a loose fheet, entitled, A letter to a friend, showing the va nity of this opinion, that every man's fenfe and reafon are to guide him in matters of faith. This Dr King refuted in A vindication of the Christian religon and reformation, Sc. In 1689, he was twice confined in the tower by order of king James II. and the fame year commenced D. D. In 1690, upon king James's retreat to France after the battle of the Boyne, he was advanced to the fee of Derry. In 1692, he published at London, in 4to, The ftate of the proteftants of Ireland under the late King James's government, &c. "A history (fays Bp. Burnet), as truly as it is finely written.' He had by him, at his death, attested vouchers of every particular fact alleged in this book, which are now in the hands of his relations. In 1693, finding the great number of Proteftant diffenters, in his diocese of Derry, increased by a vast addition of colonies from Scotland, Dr King, to perfuade them to conformity to the established church, published A difcourfe concerning the inventions of men in the worship of God. Mr Jofeph Boyse, a diffenting minifter, wrote an answer. Replies, duplies, and rejoinders followed. In 1702, he published at Dublin, in 4to, his celebrated treatise De origine mali. Edmund Law, M. A. fellow of Chrift's college, Cambridge, published a tranflation of this, with very valuable notes, in 4to. In the 2d edition he has inferted a collection of the author's papers on this subject, which he had re811 ceived ceived from his relations. In this excellent treatise: Dr King proves, that there is more moral good in the earth than moral evil. His fermon, preached at Dublin in 1709, was published under the title of Divine predeftination and foreknowledge confiftent with the freedom of man's will. This was attack ed by Anthony Collins, Efq. in a pamphlet en titled, A Vindication of the Divine Attributes, &c. He published likewise, A Difcourfe concerning the confecration of churches; fhowing what is meant by dedicating them, with the grounds of that office. He died in 1720. (IX.) KING, William, LL.D. principal of St Mary's hall, Oxford, fon of the reverend Peregrine. King, was born at Stepney in Middlefex, in 1685 He graduated in 1715, was made fecretary to the duke of Ormond, and earl of Arran, as chancel. lors of the university; and principal, on the death of Dr Hudfon, in 1719. When he ftood candidate for M. P. for the univerfity, he refigned his office of fecretary, but enjoyed his other preferment to his death. Dr Clark, who opposed him, carried the election; and after this difappointment, he, in 1727, went over to Ireland, where he wrote an epic poem, called The Teaft, which was a political fatire, printed and given away to his friends, But never fold. On the dedication of Dr Radcliff's library, in 1749, he spoke a Latin oration in the theatre at Oxford, which was received with the higheft acclamations; but when printed, it was attacked in feveral pamphlets. Again, at the contested election in Oxfordshire, 1755, his attachment to the Tory intereft drew on him the refentment of the Whigs, and he was libelled in newspapers and pamphlets, against which he de fended nimfelf in an Apology, and warmly retali ated on his adverfaries. He wrote several other things, and died in 1762. He was a polite fcholar, an excellent orator, an elegant and eafy writer, and much esteemed for his learning and wit. (X.)

These are the mineral, the vegetable, and the ani mal kingdoms. This great and firft divifion is founded on this confideration, that any plant or vegetable which is produced, which grows, which is organized, which contains a feed, and which produces its like, feems to be a being very dif tinct and different from a ftone or a metal, in which we at most obferve only a regular arrange. ment of parts, but not a true organization, and which contains no feed by which it is capable of reproduction; and another foundation of this divifion is, that an animal differs no lefs from a fimple plant, by fenfation, by the use of its fenfes, and by the power of voluntary motion which it poffeffes, while thefe qualities do not belong to any thing which is merely vegetable. Some phi lofophers. pretend, that this divifion of natural KING AND QUEEN, a populous country of Vir ginia, on the Mattapany, which feparates it from King William's County. It is 25 miles long and 20 broad, and is bounded on the N. by Effex, E. by Middlefex, S. by Gloucester, and W. by the Mattapany. It contained 4234 citizens, and 5045 flaves, in 1795. bodies into claffes is only ideal. They affirm, that, by obferving nature attentively, we may perceive, that all her productions are connected together by an uninterrupted chain; and that by furveying the feveral beings, we must be convinced, that any one being differs very little from fome other two between which it feems to be placed; fo that we may defcend from the most perfect animal to the rudeft mineral by infenfible degrees, and without finding any interval from which a divifion might be made. But if we avoid investigating extremes, the diftinctive marks, muft be acknowledged fufficiently obvious to justify the triple divifion above mentioned, and to difcriminate the individuals of each. For a general view of the operations of nature in thofe three kingdoms, fee NATURAL HISTORY; forta particular confideration of them in the animal kingdom, fee ANIMAL, BIRD, BRUTE, ENTOMOLOGY, FISH, ICHTHYOLOGY, INSECT, ORNITHOLOGY, Zoo LOGY, and ZOOTOMY, and the different animals under their respective genera; in the vegetable kingdom, BOTANY, DEFOLIATION, FRONDESCENTIA, GEMMATIO, GERMINATION, LEAF, PLANT, RURAL ECONOMY, VEGETATION, &c. and the different plants under their respective genera; and in the mineral kingdom, MINERALOGY, METALL LURGY, and the different tones and metals un der their respective names. Here we fhall confider natural bodies only in a chemical view; relatively to the feveral principles which we obtain in the analysis of thofe bodies. In the decompofition of all beings truly living, organized, and containing within themselves a feed by which they may be reproduced, fuch as vegetables and animals, we always obtain an inflammable, fat, or oily fubftance; and, on the contrary, we do not find the fmalleft trace of this principle in any fubStance purely mineral, not even in fulphur, which is the most inflammable of all thefe fubftances. On the other fide, if we carefully examine and compare with each other the analogous principles obtained from the three kingdoms; fuch as the faline fubftances obtained in the analysis of animals, vegetables, and minerals; we shall per ceive, that all the faline matter which comes from the vegetable or animal kingdoms is altered by oil, while all the faline matter which comes from the mineral kingdom is entirely free from oil; for we muft not conclude, becaufe any matter is found in one or more individuals of any kingdom, that it therefore belongs to the kingdom of fuch individuals; as we may be convinced, from a flight obfervation, that by a thousand combinations, and particular circumftances, fubftances of quite different claffes or kingdoms are daily found mixed and confounded together. Thus, for example, within the earth, and even at great depths, that is, in the region appropriated to minerals, fometimes fubftances are found evidently oily, fuch as all bitumens: but at the fame time all the obfervations of natural history prove, that thefe oily fubftances are only accidentally within the earth, and that they proceed from the vegetable or animal bodies which have been buried in the earth by fome of thofe great revolutions which have happened from time to time upon the surface of our globe. Alfo, in decompofing feveral vegetables and animals, falts are obtained; fuch as common falt, Glauber's falt, &c. which contain nothing oily, and which are confequently matters evidently mineral. But, on the other fide, we are certain, that these mineral falts are extraneous to the animals and vegetables in which they are found; that they are only introduced into thefe living bodies, becaufe they happen to be mixed with the matters which have been applied to them as aliments, and that they ought not to be numbered amongst their principles. The proof of this is, that not only the quantity of thefe mineral faits is not uniform in animals and vegetables, but also, that not a particle of fuch falts is contained in fome plants and animals equally ftrong and healthy, and of the fame fpecies, as thofe in which thefe falts have generally been obferved. In the id place, we obferve, that oils only exift in the proximate principles of vegetables and animals; that is, in thofe principles which enter immedi ately into their compofition, when they have not been altered by further decompofitions, and con fequently when they still preserve their animal or vegetable character; for, by a natural putrefaction continued during a long time, or by chemical operations, not only the materials of which animal and vegetable bodies are formed may be de prived entirely of oil, but alfo this oil may itself be entirely destroyed or decompofed, Thefe fub ftances in that state contain nothing by which they can be diftinguished from minerals. The earths, for example, of vegetables and animals, when they are deprived, by a fufficient calcination, of all inflammable matter, have been thought to become entirely fimilar to the calcareous and argillaceous earths found within the globe, and which may be confidered as mineral fubftances, although probably they have been formerly a part of animal and vegetable bodies. See BONES, § 10. Hence we conclude, that, when we confider natural bodies in a chemical view, we ought to divide them into two great claffes. The first clafs is of fub ftances inanimate, unorganised, and the principles of which have a degree of fimplicity which is effential to them: thefe are minerals. The other clafs contains all thofe bodies which not only have been diftinctly organifed, but which also contain an oily matter, which is nowhere to be found in fubflances which have not made part of animate bodies, and which, by combining with all the other principles of thefe animate bodies, diftinguishes these principles from thofe of minerals by a lefs degree of fimplicity. This 2d clafs contains vegetables and animals, We ought also to remark, that the oil contained in vegetable and animal fubftances, renders them fufceptible of fer mentation, properly fo called, which cannot by any means take place in any mineral. Let us now examine, if, by comparing the principles obtain ed in the decompofition of vegetables with those obtained in the decompofition of animals, we can find fome effential character by which thefe two kingdoms may be chemically diftinguifhed, in the fame manner as we have feen that both may be diftinguished from minerals. From experiments we learn, that the principles of vegetables differ evidently enough from thofe of animals; that in general the faline principles of the former $ $32 are ference, of an oval form, low, and bordered by coral rocks.

But we muft at the fame time confefs, that these differences are not clear and decifive, like thofe betwixt thefe two kingdoms and the mineral kingdom; for we do not find any effential principle, either in animals or in vegetables, which is not alfo to be found in the other. In fome plants, chiefly the cruciform, as much volatile alkali, as little fixed alkali, and as much difpofition to putrefy, are found as in animal matters; and thence we conclude, that if thefe two great claffes of natural bodies differ chemically from each other, this difference proceeds only from the quantities or proportions of their feveral principles and properties, and not from any thing distinct and peculiar; nor is it fimilar to the manner in which both vegetable and animal substances differ from minerals, namely, by containing an oil, and poffeffing a fermentable quality. Belides, the degrees of the chemical differences betwixt these three great claffes of natural bodies are found to be the fame, in what ever manner we confider them or compare them together.
