So fhall the World go on — till the Return
Of him fo lately promis'd to diffolve
Satan with his perverted World, then raise

IS it is the Defign of thefe DIALOGUES to inform the Mind in Points commonly reckon'd both useful, and entertaining, and at the fame Time of univerfal Concernment; if they are fo framed as to answer their End, it is a fufficient Apology for their Publication. They might indeed bave been thrown into the Form of Elays, or Differtations on fuch and fuch Subjects; but as the prefent Form was defignedly pitch'd on to please the Publick, and for no other Reason than as judging it more entertaining, the Author hopes his Defign to please will at least be pardon'd, even by fuch as may think be has taken an improper Way for it. He has endeavour'd at least at Truth in the Points be treats of, and if he happens in fome Things to differ from fome of his Readers, as he knows it impoffible to agree with every one, he has only to fay be imposes his Tenets on no one, and will as foon as convinced as readily change his Sentiments, as Philander does in Dialogue the Vth, where as the Reader will eafily fee the Plan is alter'd, and for the very fame Reason that is there related. It is a Debate be knows which has been

lately agitated, but which he has therefore purpofely refrain'd from Reading, that he might not be biafs'd by any meer buman Authority, but by that more perfect Rule of Faith the facred Writings. And to conclude, tho' he does not pretend to new Difcoveries, the Reader may yet meet with Jome Things fet here in a different Light than perhaps he has feen them before: and be thereby led both to study the Scripture with more Application, and to do it with more Understanding.
