1739. When Mr. Dennis found this treatise it had been done by another hand, with notes, in which the ashes of the venerable author were poorly and meanly insulted by low and vile buffoonery, becoming neither the gravity of a clergyman, nor the faith of a Christian, nor the justness and spirit of a polite writer, nor the honor and humanity of a gentleman. Mr. Dennis was provoked to translate this treatise anew, that he might have an opportunity by this translation to do justice to the merit of the excellent author. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
