POSTSCRIPT TO PREFACE IN THE THIRD EDITION
|
| P. S. The Publication of this new Edition hath been delayed, with a | |
| | View of taking notice (had it been necessary) of any Attempt to | |
| | refute the Doctrine of Independance: As no Answer hath yet appeared, | |
| | it is now presumed that none will, the Time needful for getting such | |
| | a Performance ready for the Public being considerably past. | |
|
|
| Who the Author of this Production is, is wholly unnecessary to the | |
| | Public, as the Object for Attention is the DOCTRINE ITSELF, not the | |
| | MAN. Yet it may not be unnecessary to say, That he is unconnected | |
| | with any Party, and under no sort of Influence public or private, but | |
| | the influence of reason and principle. | |
