DEDICATION. 



the cliarader of a well-bred gen- 

 tleman that real honour confifts 

 not in that hedor and buftle which 

 its miftaken votaries fuppofe it does^ 

 but that to be truly honourable^ is 

 to be fbber, juft and good^ affable 

 and courteous to all with whom 

 You have any intercourfe 5 and 

 may 1 enlarge my thoughts^ and 

 give them but a reafonable Icope, 

 lure I am^ that that Roman Wor- 

 thy who (lands fo high in the re- 

 cords of antiquity^ was never more 

 the delight of thofe with whom he 

 convers'dj, than Your Lordlliip i^. 



This noble example of Your 

 Lordflup's redoubles the paffion I 

 have of addrefling this Treatife to 

 You; and would carry me much 

 further, but that I fear I have gone 

 farther already than Your Lordfliip 

 will approve o£
