The PREFACE. 
Entered on new regulations 5 under the influence of which it is fcarce to be 
doubtedy but they will do honour to them/elves and to their country . J 
have fallen under their difpleafure for giving caufe to thefe ; but that is 
of little confequencey in comparifon with the advantages that will accrue 
from thofe cenfures which occafioned the reformation . 
UPON the whoky it is a fengular fatisfaSHon to me to fee a 
ftudyy which I fo much lovey rifing at this time to a new height : and it 
is not the leaft part of that fatisfaSHon that I have in thefe volumesy and 
feme other Works on the fame fubje&y contributed fomewhat towards 
it. With what advantages I have delivered my Jentiments on thefe 
fubje&Sy others are to judge ; it fatisfies mey that I have done it with 
truth .
