POSTSCRIPT.
THat the seeming Extravagancies in the Style of this Essay, may be the more readily excused by the Intelligent: The Author thought himself concerned to add a word or two to what he had said in the Preface to the Reader, for he is bold to profess his Hopes, that this Short Discourse though in never so odd and exotick a Dress, may find Acceptance with some, as others concerning the same Subject, only digested into a different form, are entertained by their proper Genius▪ for there are certain Occult Attractives in all Treatises which will captivate the Minds of those men who are prepared with a Correspondent Gust; and all this results from the various Idiopathies in lapsed Mankind, which are apt to Incurvate the Choice of Right Reason▪ and to transport them in their Choice, by Impulses from pe∣culiar Springs in the inferlour partial Faculties of the Soul, whether there fixed by Nature, Education, Providence, or Chance: And since this is so, why should I be loth to venture this Piece abroad, upon a misprision of it s being Impolite or whimsical, and so unpalatable to the Nice Genius of this Age, that loves to luxuriate in those delicious Graces of Speech, which the French call La cadence des periodes; I say, why should the unsuitableness of my style by being reflected on hinder me from publishing this Essay, since it is commonly experienced that the most ornate Treatises and those of the sweetest relish to some, are found by Experience to be Nauseated by others. And what mat∣ter is it for the Style, provided there be truth at the bottom.
