DEDICATION.

Laws. To recount your Virtues would be offenſive to your Modeſty. I ſhall therefore forbear thoſe uſual Enlargements, and only beg Leave to lay this imperfect Treatiſe under your Patronage. how little it deſerves ſuch Honour I am extremely ſenſible; but I may venture to ſuggeſt, that whatever meets with your private, cannot fail of public Approbation.

I am, with all Acknowledgment,

your most Obliged

Humble Servant,

William Gould.
