This Chapter is only an Introduction, and treats of other Things,
without any particular Opposition to the Theory. And therefore I shall
only give you the Conclusion of it, in the Author’s own Words: _So much
for the first Chapter; which may be reckoned as an Introduction to the
following Discourse. Which if any shall look upon as a Collection of
Notes, somewhat confusedly put together, rather than a formal, well
digested Treatise, they will entertain the best or truest Idea of it._ A
severe Censure: But every Man best understands his own Works.
