[ ] ADVERTISEMENT. TH HE Reader will expect fome account of the Life, Writings, and Character of the Author to be prefixed to this complete edition of his Works. He is therefore informed, that a Difcourfe to that effect hath been prepared, and will be published; but not now, for reafons that will be feen hereafter. However, it may be proper to add, that the purchaser of this edition will be entitled to a Copy of the Discourse, whenever it comes out, on his producing a ticket, which for that purpose will be delivered to him by the Bookfeller. All I have to fay, at present, of the Author's WORKS, is, That they have been printed carefully from his last corrections and improvements; and arranged in that order, which was judged most convenient. Of the new tracts, included in this edition, the most confiderable is, The NINTH Book of the Divine Legation; printed, so far as it goes, by the Author himself, but VOL. I. a 2 left left unfinished. This Discourse must be interesting to the reader; but will not appear to have all the novelty which he may expect. The reafon is, that the Author had laid afide all thoughts of compleating this book for many years, and had, in the mean time, employed fome parts of it in his other Works. From these, when he at length resumed that intention, he extracted many paffages, which. are now again inferted in their place. Thus much I thought fit to fay of this additional Books, that the Reader may come the better prepared to the perufal of it. For the reft, he is referred to the Author's LIFE, at large.
