LETTER, &c. 



SIR, 



HOUGH upon fome accounts I might 



have wifhed that the printed Letter 

 you have addrefled to me, had been a pri- 

 vate one ; yet upon the whole I cannot be 

 forry that you have made it public. I am 

 thereby enabled freely and openly to dif- 

 cufs the points of difference between us; 

 to enforce fome principles, and enlarge 

 upon others, on which I had touched but 

 flightly. On the other hand, had it been a 

 private Letter, thofe points might have 

 been more amicably difcuffed; explana- 



tions
