ABSTRACT
This, Reader, is the Entertainment of those, who let loose their own Thoughts, and follow them in writing; … they afford thee an Opportunity of the like Diversion, if thou wilt make use of thy own Thoughts in reading. After we had a while puzzled our selves, without coming any nearer a Resolution of those Doubts which perplexed us, it came into the author's Thoughts, that we took a wrong course; and that, before we set our selves upon Enquiries of that Nature, it was necessary to examine our own Abilities, and see, what Objects our Understandings were, or were not fitted to deal with.
