For a considerable time past, Bossuet, then bishop of Condom, and since, of Meaux, had attached himself to the Cartesians. He, indeed, cautiously dissembled his opinions in public ; but in private, we occasionally had amicable but keen debates concerning some of the heads of this doctrine. I nevertheless, as a token of respect, sent him a copy of my book against the Cartesian fictions, with a letter written in I the spirit of our long intimacy, in which I said that I doubted whether the present... of a work of this kind, so adverse to opinions favoured by him/ would prove acceptable, but that I VOL.
