ABSTRACT
As the Epistolary Way of Writing hath prevailed much of late, we have ventured to publish this Piece composed some Time since, and whose Author chose this Manner, notwithstanding his Subject was high and of dignity, because of its being mixt with Argument, which of its Nature approacheth to Prose. This, which we first give the Reader, treats of the Nature and State of MAN, with Respect to the UNIVERSAL S Y ST EM; the rest will treat ofhim with Respect to his 0 w N S Y ST EM, as an Individual, and as a Member of Society; under one or other of which Heads all Ethicks are included.
