a_o postscript_n to_o a_o book_n publish_v the_o last_o year_n entitle_v consideration_n on_o dr._n burnet_n theory_n of_o the_o earth_n many_o person_n since_o the_o publish_n my_o consideration_n on_o dr._n burnet_n theory_n of_o the_o earth_n have_v use_v cavillation_n against_o some_o part_n of_o they_o viz._n where_o i_o seem_v to_o leave_v some_o thing_n in_o mystery_n which_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v to_o proceed_v from_o enthusiasm_n some_o have_v do_v this_o in_o my_o presence_n and_o other_o where_o i_o have_v not_o be_v present_a as_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v by_o many_o friend_n i_o have_v think_v fit_a by_o print_v this_o paper_n to_o bring_v the_o matter_n above_o board_n and_o to_o see_v what_o may_v be_v say_v in_o the_o case_n and_o try_v whether_o we_o can_v sound_v the_o depth_n of_o these_o man_n thought_n as_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o judge_v other_o to_o dissuade_v a_o man_n from_o leave_v any_o thing_n he_o write_v or_o discourse_n on_o in_o mystery_n i_o remember_v to_o have_v read_v a_o ingenious_a writer_n of_o politic_a essay_n who_o say_v that_o a_o man_n render_v himself_o as_o liable_a to_o censure_n by_o offer_v to_o maintain_v a_o mysterious_a truth_n as_o a_o open_a falsehood_n and_o therefore_o he_o dissuade_v man_n by_o all_o mean_n from_o meddle_v in_o mystery_n i_o remember_v also_o that_o ecclesiastical_a maxim_n of_o melancthon_n solent_n homines_fw-la aut_fw-la odisse_fw-la aut_fw-la superlè_fw-la contemnere_fw-la quae_fw-la non_fw-la intelligunt_fw-la i_o call_v to_o mind_v the_o old_a trick_n both_o of_o
