THE

AUTHOR

ΤΟ Α

FRIEND.

THE public is so seldom interested in the debates

of privat men, and I am fo little concern'd at the malice or mistakes of my adverfaries, that, without fom better motive, 1 would never presume to trouble the world with any thing merely perfonal. But if the fubject in queftion be of extraordinary weight and confequence, and that on the certain decifion of it fhould depend the tranquillity of a confiderable number of people, then I think a man is indifpenfably oblig'd to appear for the truth; and fo, while he's endeavoring to ferve others, no body will fay be ought to neglect his own defence. Whether the treatife I now send you be of this nature, is fubmitted to your equal judgment: And unless I really defign'd a nobler end by it than the juftification of one perfon, neither you nor any body else should lofe your time in reading, no more than I my felf would be at the pains of writing it, which yet I'll count the bigbeft pleasure if I understand it has never fo little contributed to the fatisfaction of a gentleman of fuch undisputed learning and merit.
