THe defignof this Author is to make it out, that the Philofophy de- 
livered by the famous Des'Chartts doth well agree, at leaft not 
difagree with the Hiftory of the Creation, recorded by Aiofes, A de- 
(ign , which that Eminent Philofopher entertained hirafelf , and would 
havefet upon , if Death had not prevented him , as appears in his Let- 
ters to Merfemm, the 24th and 53d of the 2d Tome , where he 
affirms, that comparing his Principles with the Mofaick Hiftory he had' 
found , to his wonder, that the latter could be much better explicated 
according to the former ,, than by any other of all thofe ways , where- 
in Interpreters have hitherto explainM it. 
To evince this, our Author hath taken the pains to make a parallel 
between the firft Chapt. ol Genejls , and the Principles of Z)a-Ci?i«?'f^/, 
endeavouring to make it appear.
