The corretions are plac'd on the Margin of each Page

are different Characters us'd to exprefs different Correffions
v. g. ED or a dele, for any thing to be effaced, or left out
When any thing is to be inferted, the Place is mark d ir

Follies are the beft: and in the Margin is added tr in a Cir-
cle. If Roman Characters are to be chang'd for Italic, or
vice verfa, a Line is drawn under them thus, and Rom. or
Ital. added in the Margin. See COMPOSITION.
CORRECTION, in Rhetorick, a Figure, whereby a Perfon
in a Pafflon fearing he has not exprefs'd a thing fully, or
fironglV enough, calls it back again, as it were, by a fironger
Phra fe, and correcas the Error. See FIGURE.
Thus Cicero pro Celio; 0 ftultitia ! flultitiam fe dicam
an impudentiam fingularem. 0 Folly ! Folly do I call it,
or rather Impudence. And in the firfit Catilinarian i Quan-
quam, quid loquor: te, ut alla res frangat 5 tu, ut unquam
te corrigas; ta, tt ullam fugam mediteris. Thus Terence,
in the Heautontimorumenos: Filium unicum adolefcentulum
habeo: Ais ! quid dixi, hablere me  imo, habui Chreme;
nunc habeam neone incertum eft.
CORRECTION, in Pharmacy, the Preparation of a Medi-
cine, in order to moderate and qualify the too great Vio-
lence of its Adfion ; as when Glafs of Antimony is calcin'd
with a little Salt-petre ; or, to prevent its giving the Gripes,
when Salt of Tartar is diffolv'd in an Infufion of Senna.
Hence,
CORRECTORS, in Medicine, fuch Ingredients in a
Compofition as guard againfil, or abate the Force of others.
Thus, the Lixivious Salts prevent the grievous Vellica-
tions of Refinous Purges, by dividing their Particles, and
preventing their Adhefions to the inteflinal Membranes,
whereby they Sometimes occafion intolerable Gripings: And
thus Spices, and carminative Seeds alfo, aflufi in the eafier
Operation of fome Cathartics, by diffipating Colleffions of
Wind.
In the making a Medicine, likewife, fuch Things are
called Corretors, as defiroy or diminilh a Quality in it that
could not otherwife difpens'd with: Thus, Turpentine may
be called the Corrcor of Quickfilver, by deffroying its
Fluxility, and making it thereby capable of Mixture: and
thus rec-ified Spirit of Wine breaks off the Points of fome
Acids, fo as to make them become fafe and good Remedies,
which before were deflruaive.
CORRELATIVE, foomething oppos'd to another in any
certain Relation. See RELATIVE.
Thus, the Father and the Son are two Correlatives; 5Pa-
ter &' Filims fbi mutuo refpondent. Light and Darknefs,
Motion and Reff, arer correlative, and oppofite Terms.
CORRIDOR, in Fortification, a Road or Way alone the
Edge of the Ditch, withoutfide; incompaffing the whole
Fortification. See DITCH.
It is alfo called the Covert wfay; becaufe cover'd with a
Glacis; or Efplanade, ferving it as a Parapet. See COVERT
Way.
The Corridor is ordinarily about zo Yards broad.
The Word comes from the Italian Coridore, or the Spa-
nilh Corndor.
CORRIDOR is alfo ufed in Architeaure for a Gallery, or
long Ifle, around a Building, leading to feveral Chambers at
a diflance from each other.
CORRIVAL, a Relative Term, fignifying, originally, a
Perfon who drew Water from the fame Source or Spring with
another; by means of fome common Canal, which carried
it to both their Lands; and which prov'd the Occafion of
frequent Difpures.
Hence the Word came to be ufed for thofe who have the
fame Pretenfions; whether to Glory, to Love, or the like:
but ufe has abridg'd the Word; and we now both write
and pronounce Rival.
CORROBORANTIXE, in Medicine, any thing that in-
creafes the Strength, or gives a new Force. See STRENGTH-
NER.
The Word is likewife frequently apply'd to fuch Medicines
as are of ufe in particular Weakneffies; as the Fluor .l4bus,
Gonorrhaxas, Uèc. Such are Terebinths, Wc.
All Cardiacs are Corroborative. See CARDIAC.
CORROSION, the Affion of corroding, or gnawing
away, by little and little, the Continuity of the tarts of
Bodies.


Thus, Acids corrode mofl Natural Bod
only kills, becaufe it corrodes the Bowe
pointed Particles. See ARSENIC, POISON,
Corro/ion is ufed both in Chymifiry, N
tural Philofophy where it flands for a pa
Difolution, either by an Acid, or a  Waline
DISSOLUTION.
What Corrojion has peculiar to it, is, td
fign'd for the Refolution of Bodies the m
pacted, as Bones and Metals i fo that the
ploy'd require an uncommon Moment, or ]
Now th e Corrofve Liquors, whether ac
nothing but Salts diffolv'd in a little PhlI
thefe being folid, and confequently contain
quantity of Matter, do both attra& one a
and are alfo more attraaed by the Partie
which is to be diffolv'd. And as their Ati
Diflances are proportional to their Bulks, cu
when the more folid Bodies are put into fi
the Attraation is fironger than other So
Motion, which is always proportional to the
violent. See ATTRACTION.

Again, we know, the more minute the Particles of th
Menfiruum are, the fooner they penetrate, and with the
greater Force: The Motion produc'd by Attraffion, beit
always greatef in the leafi Corpufcles, next to nothing
the large ones.
Add to this another advantage gain'd by this minut,
of the Particles, viz. that they approach nearer thea
to be diffolv'd- without which, the attractive Force Add
be infenfible.  Hence, thofe very Salts, which difolvAd in
Water will hardly touch Metals, if once turn'd into acid
Spirits, eafily penetrate: For in Diftillation, not only a gr
Quantity of Water remains, but the faline Bodies are
minutely broken, and divided by the Fire, as to make to
more readily capable of being mov'd by an attraafive Forc
and therefore fuch a difiil'd Menflruum is much more ef
cacious than any Solution of Salt made with Water. Ses
MENSTRUUM.
CORRUGATOR Supercilii, or CORRUGENT ilk
cle, a Mufcle arifing from the great Canthus of the Orbito
the Eye, and terminating in the Skin about the middled
the Eyebrows. See EYEBROWS.
Some reckon this Mufcle only a Prolongation of the FPath
tales. Its Name declares its Ufe; being form'd of Con aq4
Rugo, to wrinkle up, and knit the Brows.
CORRUGENT Mzufcle, the fame as Corrugator Sut
cilii. See CORRUGATor.
CORRUPTICOLkE, a Se&k of antient Hereticks, wW
arofe out of the Eutycheans in Egypt, about the Year 5;r,
under their Chief, Severus, the pretended Patriarch of 1
xandria.
Their diflinguifhing Doarine, whence they deriv'd their
Name, was, that the Body of Jefus Chrifi was corruptiblek
that the Father had own'd it; and that to deny it was tog
deny the Truth of our Saviour's Paffion.
On the other hand, 5rulian of Halicarnaffeus, another
Eutychean, a Refugee as well as Severus, in Adlexandrio,
maintain'd that the Body of Jefus Chriff had been always
Incorruptible 7 that to fay it was Corruptible, was to mahk
a Diflinaion between Jefus Chrift and the Word, and by
confequence to make two Natures in Jefus Chrift.
The People of Alexandria were divided between the two
Opinions * and the Partifans of Severus were called Corrup.
ticolce, q. d. Worfhipers of Something Corruptible: Some-
times they were denominated Corruptibiles i and the Adhe-
rents of u7zlia7z Incorruptibiles, or Phantarlaftes.
The Clergy and Secular Powers favour'd the firf' i the
Monks and the People the latter.
CORRUPTION, the Extinction of any thing i or the
A61ion whereby it ceafes to be what it was.
Thus, Wood is faid to be corrupted, when we don't fee it
remain Wood any longer, but find Fire in its flead. And
thus the Egg is corrupted, when it ceafes to be an Egg, and
we find a Chicken in its room.
Hence that Axiom in Philofophy, 7he Corruption of ote
thing is the Generation of another.
Corruption, in effe&, differs from Generation, as two ConI
traries differ from each other. See GENERATION.
It differs from Alteration as the Lefs from a Greater, or
a Part from the Whole; a Thing being faid to be alters'd
when it is not fo far chang'd but it mav be known, and fill
keeps its old Name; both which it lofes by Corruption. See
ALTERATION.
But, as in Generation, nothing of Matter is produced that
did not before exifi ; fo in Corruption, nothing more is lof,
than that particular Modification which was its Form1 and
made it to be of fuch a Species. See FORM.
