It is well known how the philofophical 27 principles of Sir Ifaac Newton were oppofcd and con* troverted in his own country at their flrfl publication, nor was the prejudice agcLinil them removed until they had received the fandion of approbation from the learned in other parts of Europe, and v. Ere fent back again into England embelliflied and enforced by the annotations of foreio-n commentators. But it was always deemed a charadlerillic of true wifdom to overcome prejudice' The lover of truth... is taught to believe this, and to be perfuaded that truth is no lefs truth becaufe it is vilified and oppofed, neither is error lefs error, becaufe it hath numbers on its fide, and is exalted to honour and pre-eminence. The reader keeping this obfervation in view, and feeling the force of it, he will not be deterred from endeavouring to difcover and develope the fair and heavenly form of wifdom, even though difguifed by the mantle with which an unreafonable averfion may have veiled it. He will be bold to ftrip off this man- tle, not intimidated by equivocal appellations, fuch as myftic, vifionary or enthufiaft; names importing at this day, that a writer on fpiritual fubjecls may fee fomewhat deeper than the generality of his read* ers.
