Excerpt from The Use and Office, With Some Instances of the Weakness and Imperfection of Reason in Matters of Religion, Vol. 1

My Lord,

At the Time of writing, and delivering this Discourse, I little thought of it's Publication. But, moved as I am by the Request, which I esteem the command, of my Superiors, I beg Leave to introduce it into the World under your Lordship's Patronage, - not unmindful of it s Defects, and how much therefore it Hands in need of that Candour in the Readers, which was happily experienced in the Hearers of it.
