THe Later of the two following Dialogues is but a part of a Discourse, consisting of some Conferences, whereof, that was neither the First, nor the Last. This ‘twas thought fit the Reader should have notice of, that he may the more easily guess upon what account it is, that some Clauses in the first Page, (and perhaps a few other Passages elsewhere) contain somewhat that appears not altogether the same it would have done, if there had been no need to make any alteration at all in that Page. But because, tho there was a connection between that Dialogue and the rest of the Papers from which ‘tis dismembered, yet it’s dependency upon the others, is not so very great, but that the Publisher thought the divulging of it might be useful and seasonable: and therefore finding that want of Leisure, and much Diffidence, made the Author unwilling to revise, and part with the other Papers that accompanied this which now comes forth; he prevail’d with him to suffer that Dialogue to take its Fortune, which the Publisher hopes may be such, as may incourage the Author to communicate what he has further meditated upon such Subjects.
