A LETTER To the Right HONOURABLE JAMES EARL OF PERTH, LORD DRUMMOND, and STOBHALL, &c. LORD High CHANCELOR OF SCOTLAND.

My LORD,

WHile your admirable Progress in all the Parts of Universal Learning, beside all the other great Excellencies, and rare Quali∣fications, whereof you are the happy Pos∣sessor (neer almost to the Adoration of all that know you,) Attracts all Eyes to Behold and Gaze, all Hearts to Love and Admire, and all Pens (like the Needle to the North) to point to your Lordship, as they had been mag∣netically

touch'd caught, or ho kt in, with the beautiful Charms of those brave radiant Virtues, which at once En∣dears and Astonishes Mankind. And while all those vast Cataracts of Knowledge, large Channels, deep Rivers, and fluent Streams of others, run into that Sea of Wisdom and Worth, that they may be absorpt in those its sweet Waters: It were unnatural! if my little half dry purling Brook, should not endeavour to Glide on to the same O••ean. These are My Lord (not to speak of your Honours) some of the Signalizing Marks, whereby you make so di∣stinguishing a Figure in the World. But your Lordship be∣ing so true and zealous a Son of the CHURCH, is the Seal of all! and makes the whole Clergy of BRITAIN your hearty Well-wishers and Admirers; And if the least and unworthyest of all these may be named amongst the rest, So is

Your LORDSHIPS Humble and Entirely Devouted Servant. ALEX. TYLER.
