I can easily foresee that Readers of different sorts are likely to receive this Work, with different Sentiments.
1. The Interested Reader, in things related here, will judge of and relish what he reads as he finds himself concerned therein: He may possibly look upon himself as either commended or exposed, blamed or justified; whether justly or unjustly he may best know. But I would hope that his Concernedness for the Interest of Equity and Truth, and for the Public Good, will rather make him candid than severe.
