Which side of the ancients-versus-moderns debate did Jonathan Swift support?

Jonathan Swift supported the Ancients in the literary and cultural debate known as the Ancients and Moderns controversy.12

During his time at Moor Park, Swift served as a secretary to Sir William Temple, a prominent defender of ancient learning who rejected the doctrine of progress. In defense of his patron, Swift satirized the proponents of modern learning in his work A Tale of a Tub (1704). Specifically, his mock-heroic piece "The Battle of the Books" explicitly championed the merits of ancient literature and culture against the claims of the Moderns.12
