IN general, he that will read the Lives of many of the old Nonconformists (Hildersham, Dod, and many such, and Bishop Hall's Character of Dr. Reynolds, and the late published Lives of Mr. Joseph Allen, John Janeway, Dr. Winter, Mr. Macham, Mr. Wadsworth, Mr. Stubs, &c.) will see better what to judge of them, than by our three French Epistles.
