TO THE 
Foregoing WORK, 
By W A T of 
ILLV STRATION. 
S INCE I begEii this Work,, !• have from Time to Time gathered fome few 
Hints, which were at different Times committed to Paper as they came into 
my Mind.: I have digefted thefe Thoughts in the bed: Manner I could,, with; 
aXtefign, in fome Meafure,. to-improve General Knowledge on the Subject 
herein Seated, I have made thefe Pages fucceed the D'efcriptions,.. or Subjed^ Matter,

ought to govern all his Adions by the former, and avoid the. latter: But it is ex¬ 
ceeding hard to difoover what Truth is in a World of Falfehood and Controverfy,. 
where all of us fuck in Error with our Milk.. Is not great Part of the World taught 
to believe, that tlieir Senfes are Lyars, and that Things which appeal'.! to be one 
Thing, to the drided Scrutiny of our Senfes, are really and abfolutsly quite other-

thefo ; but it is a fixed and firm Article of my private Faith,, that God hath givens 
us our Senfes as a Touchd;one of Truth, and that whatevei- Writing, Tradition, or 
bold Affertioni advances any Opinions, that diredly and flatly contradid. the Senfes, 
which God hatJi given us to judge by,, are abfolute.Ealfehoods,. and ought to be rt- 
jeded of all Mankind,.
