¶ It remains, that I lay before the world, the Remarkable Conduct and Success of this Famous Man, in his great Affair; and I shall endeavour, to do it, by Englishing and Rep•inting a letter, sent a while since by my Father, unto his Learned and Renowned correspondent, the Venerable Dr. Leusden at Utrecht: which letter has already been published, if I mistake not, in Four or Five divers Languages. I find it particularly published, by the most Excellent Jurieu, at the end of a Pastoral Letter; and this Reflection then worthily made upon it, Cette Letter doit apporter une •res grande Consolation, a touts less bonnes ames, qui sont altereos de Justice, & qui sont enflammees d• ••le de la gloire de Dieu. I therefore persuade my self that the Republication of it will not •e ungrateful unto many good Souls in our Nation, who have a due thirst and zeal for such things as are mentioned in it; and when that is done, I shall presume to make some Annotations for the illustration of sundry memorable things therein Pointed at.
