Sect. 1. BUT Because this seems to be a matter of great importance, wherein the truth formerly pleaded for, appears to be nearly concerned, ⟨p. 260⟩I shall [Greek or Hebrew] very briefly consider the Arguments that are usually insisted on (as in these Prolegomena) to prove the points to be a novel Invention; I mean of the men, & at the time before mentioned. Particular Instances I shall not insist upon: nor is it necessary I should so do; it hath been done already. The heads of Arguments which yet contain their strength, are capable of a brief dispatch; which shall be given them in the order wherein they are represented by the Prolegomena; Proleg. 3. 38, 39, 40.
