I might add, That Your Lordſhip's Kind-
neſs
has reacht the Publiſher of theſe Tracts,
and made Him wholly Your Own: But I
muſt take care, not to be Uneaſy to Your
Lordſhip; who is more inclined to Do great,
things, then to Hear of them after they are
done.
Wherefore, I ſhall only recommedn to Your
Lordſhip's Patronage and Protection, the
folliwng Diſcourſes: Some of which retreive
loſt Peices of Antiquity, ( as the Incombuſti-
ble
Cloth, &c.) and by theſe means add to the
Authority of the Antients, who have ſuffer-
ed
in their Reputation by Our Ignorance: O-
thers
extend the bounds of Learning, and in-
form
Mankind by New Diſcoveryes: Theſ
are all preſented to Your Lordſhip, in token
of a much greated Debt, from,
My Lord,
Your Lordſhip's most Obe-
dicnt
Humble Servant,
