advancement_n of_o these_o i_o have_v give_v some_o instance_n in_o the_o more_o remarkable_a particular_n for_o i_o intend_v not_o a_o full_a and_o accurate_a history_n of_o all_o the_o late_a improvement_n of_o science_n but_o so_o much_o as_o may_v serve_v my_o aim_n of_o confute_v the_o fond_a say_v of_o my_o antagonist_n and_o exciting_a of_o philosophical_a endeavour_n in_o which_o i_o confess_v i_o have_v a_o principal_a eye_n upon_o the_o royal_a society_n and_o the_o noble_a purpose_n of_o that_o illustrious_a assembly_n which_o i_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o great_a ferment_n of_o useful_a and_o generous_a knowledge_n and_o have_v say_v enough_o i_o think_v to_o justify_v that_o apprehension_n in_o the_o follow_a sheets●_n and_o because_o some_o pious_a man_n be_v afraid_a of_o a_o institution_n they_o have_v hear_v but_o imperfect_o of_o and_o be_v jealous_a of_o what_o they_o have_v not_o have_v opportunity_n to_o understand_v i_o have_v therefore_o give_v a_o succinct_a account_n of_o the_o reason_n nature_n and_o design_n of_o that_o establishment_n for_o the_o information_n of_o such_o as_o have_v not_o meet_v with_o their_o excellent_a history_n beside_o which_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o add_v here_o that_o we_o of_o the_o clergy_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v danger_n from_o that_o constitution_n since_o so_o many_o pious_a learned_a and_o excellent_a person_n of_o our_o order_n be_v member_n of_o that_o body_n and_o for_o the_o prevention_n of_o those_o panic_n causeless_a terror_n i_o shall_v take_v the_o boldness_n here_o to_o name_v some_o of_o those_o venerable_a and_o worthy_a ecclesiastic_n i_o find_v therefore_o in_o their_o catalogue_n the_o most_o reverend_a the_o lord_n archbishop_n of_o canterbury_n and_o york_z the_o right_a reverend_n the_o lord_n bishop_n of_o ely_z london_n rochester_n sarum_n winton_n and_o those_o other_o reverend_a doctor_n dr._n john_n wilkins_n dean_n of_o rippon_n dr._n edward_n cotton_n archdeacon_n of_o cornwall_z dr._n ralph_n bathurst_n precedent_n of_o trin._n coll._n oxon_n dr._n john_n pearson_n margaret_n professor_n of_o cambridge_n dr._n john_n wallis_n professor_n of_o geometry_n in_o oxford_n dr._n william_n holder_n dr._n henry_n more_o dr._n john_n pell_n and_o i_o reserve_v for_o your_o near_a notice_n a_o excellent_a person_n of_o your_o neighbourhood_n and_o number_n dr._n john_n beale_n who_o in_o a_o age_n that_o usual_o cool_v and_o sink_v as_o to_o the_o more_o active_a design_n do_v yet_o retain_v the_o vigour_n and_o vivacity_n of_o sprightly_a youth_n with_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o ripe_a year_n and_o be_v unwearied_a in_o the_o noble_a activity_n and_o most_o generous_a prosecution_n and_o now_o i_o hope_v that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o guilty_a of_o so_o great_a a_o immodesty_n and_o irreverence_n as_o to_o judge_v those_o design_n to_o have_v a_o evil_a aspect_n upon_o religion_n which_o be_v subscribe_v and_o promote_v by_o so_o many_o great_a and_o grave_a divine_n of_o such_o know_a piety_n and_o judgement_n and_o the_o mention_n of_o those_o celebrate_a name_n may_v serve_v to_o remove_v another_o groundless_a suspicion_n which_o some_o have_v entertain_v viz._n that_o the_o university_n be_v undermine_v by_o this_o new_a philosophic_a society_n for_o whoever_o phanci_v or_o suggest_v that_o cast_v a_o black_a character_n upon_o the_o sagacity_n and_o faithfulness_n of_o those_o reverend_a man_n who_o all_o have_v be_v eminent_a member_n of_o one_o or_o other_o of_o those_o school_n of_o learning_n and_o most_o of_o they_o do_v still_o retain_v a_o relation_n to_o those_o ancient_a and_o venerable_a body_n but_o to_o supersede_n further_a discourse_n about_o this_o here_o i_o owe_v some_o thing_n else_o to_o myself_o which_o be_v to_o answer_v the_o objection_n of_o my_o oppose_v the_o great_a name_n of_o aristotle_n concern_v it_o i_o have_v say_v some_o thing_n in_o this_o book_n and_o more_o in_o other_o for_o the_o present_a therefore_o i_o shall_v content_v myself_o to_o suggest_v that_o i_o be_o very_o ready_a to_o give_v cheerful_a acknowledgement_n to_o his_o rhetoric_n history_n of_o animal_n and_o mechanic_n and_o can_v wish_v that_o these_o be_v more_o study_v by_o his_o devote_a admirer_n but_o for_o the_o notional_a and_o dispute_a part_n of_o his_o philosophy_n it_o have_v deep_o trouble_v i_o when_o i_o have_v consider_v how_o much_o they_o have_v take_v up_o that_o time_n and_o those_o endeavour_n which_o shall_v have_v be_v employ_v in_o survey_v the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o magnify_v and_o discover_v their_o author_n from_o which_o only_o the_o true_a philosophy_n be_v to_o be_v obtain_v and_o the_o zeal_n i_o have_v for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o almighty_a discover_v in_o his_o creature_n have_v inspire_v i_o with_o some_o smartness_n and_o severity_n against_o those_o heathen_a notion_n which_o have_v so_o unhappy_o divert_v learned_a man_n from_o the_o study_n of_o god_n great_a book_n universal_a nature_n and_o consequent_o rob_v he_o of_o that_o honour_n and_o those_o acclamation_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o for_o those_o admirable_a result_v of_o his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o now_o it_o be_v high_a time_n to_o draw_v up_o to_o the_o last_o request_n i_o have_v to_o you_o which_o be_v that_o you_o will_v please_v to_o do_v i_o that_o right_n deliberate_o to_o weigh_v my_o follow_a account_n which_o though_o i_o have_v design_v to_o express_v with_o all_o imaginable_a perspicuity_n and_o clearness_n yet_o i_o can_v expect_v that_o they_o shall_v present_o enter_v into_o mind_n that_o most_o ordinary_o converse_v with_o another_o sort_n of_o matter_n upon_o a_o hasty_a and_o careless_a perusal_n i_o say_v therefore_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o reflect_v and_o considerate_a thought_n of_o attentive_a and_o judicious_a man_n but_o for_o the_o hare-brained_a half-witted_a censurer_n that_o only_o tell_v the_o leave_n of_o book_n and_o pass_v definitive_a sentence_n at_o a_o venture_n i_o except_v against_o their_o verdict_n and_o contemn_v they_o you_o see_v upon_o the_o whole_a that_o i_o have_v deal_v open_o with_o my_o antagonist_n and_o have_v say_v all_o to_o himself_o and_o the_o public_a and_o more_o than_o ever_o i_o do_v on_o any_o private_a occasion_n though_o i_o believe_v that_o he_o that_o have_v endeavour_v skulk_o and_o by_o envious_a art_n to_o traduce_v i_o will_v be_v ashamed_a to_o own_o that_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o light_n and_o i_o which_o he_o have_v report_v in_o corner_n whether_o he_o intend_v to_o answer_v my_o relation_n and_o reflection_n or_o sit_v down_o in_o a_o grave_a silence_n i_o can_v tell_v if_o he_o do_v the_o former_a i_o look_v that_o he_o shall_v show_v either_o that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o instance_n of_o improvement_n in_o knowledge_n since_o aristotle_n as_o i_o have_v reckon_v or_o that_o they_o be_v no_o advantage_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o science_n if_o he_o prove_v either_o of_o these_o his_o return_n will_v be_v a_o answer_n and_o i_o shall_v admire_v his_o wit_n in_o a_o eternal_a respect_n and_o silence_n but_o if_o he_o offer_v any_o thing_n else_o for_o a_o reply_n i_o appeal_v to_o you_o whether_o it_o be_v like_a to_o be_v to_o purpose_n or_o whether_o i_o shall_v have_v any_o need_n to_o trouble_v myself_o to_o rejoin_v to_o a_o impertinence_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n if_o his_o sageness_n resolve_v to_o sit_v down_o and_o grave_o to_o say_v nothing_o in_o return_n which_o it_o be_v like_o his_o wisdom_n will_v counsel_v he_o to_o be_v best_a i_o expect_v from_o such_o a_o ingenuity_n as_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v fall_v again_o to_o his_o little_a art_n of_o calumny_n and_o deal_v with_o my_o book_n as_o he_o have_v with_o my_o person_n assault_v it_o behind_o with_o dirt_n and_o hard-name_n and_o confute_v it_o with_o a_o pish_o or_o a_o great_a word_n or_o two_o among_o his_o private_a admirer_n this_o no_o doubt_n will_v be_v the_o easy_a way_n of_o answer_v and_o those_o that_o have_v get_v great_a reputation_n by_o artifice_n chance_n uapour_a or_o the_o ignorance_n of_o those_o they_o converse_v with_o have_v common_o the_o prudence_n not_o to_o put_v it_o to_o the_o hazard_n of_o public_a trial_n i_o do_v not_o say_v this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o the_o reverend_a disputer_n let_v those_o that_o know_v judge_n however_o it_o be_v my_o antagonist_n be_v of_o long_o stand_v in_o these_o part_n be_v like_a to_o have_v the_o wind_n here_o and_o whether_o his_o reply_n be_v public_a or_o not_o i_o reckon_v he_o will_v blow_v the_o dust_n upon_o i_o but_o if_o i_o have_v the_o sun_n as_o i_o hope_v i_o shall_v have_v no_o reason_n to_o regret_n his_o advantage_n the_o truth_n be_v i_o desire_v to_o conflict_n in_o a_o open_a champagne_n where_o there_o may_v be_v less_o danger_n of_o guile_n treachery_n and_o ambush_n but_o
