A Man who is not capable of Philofophical Reflections from his own Education, will be as much pleafed as with any other good News, which he has before heard: The Agitations of the Winds, and the falling of the Rains, are what are abfolutely neceffary for his Welfare and Accommodation. This kind of Reader will behold the Light with a new Joy, and a fort of reasonable Rapture. He will be led from the Appendages which attend and furround our Globe, to the Contemplation of the Globe it felf, the Distribution of the Earth and Waters, the Variety and Quantity of all Things provided for the Uses of our World: Then will his Contemplation, which was too diffused and general, be let down to Particulars, to different Soils and Moulds, to the Beds of Minerals and Stones, into Caverns and Vulcanos, and then again to the tops of Mountains, and then again to the Fields and Valleys.

WHEN the Author has acquainted his Reader with the Place of his Abode, he informs him of his Capacity to make himself eafie and happy in it, by the Gift of Senfes, by their ready Organs, by fhowing him the Structure of thofe Organs; the Difpofition of the Ear for the Receit of Sounds, of the Noftril for Smell, the Tongue for Tafte, the Nerves to avoid Harms by our Feeling, and the Eye by our Sight.

THE whole Work is concluded (as it is the Sum of Fifteen Sermons in proof of the Exiftence of the Deity) with Reflections which apply each diftinct part of it to an End, for which the Author may hope to be rewarded with an Immortality much more to be defired, than that of remaining in Eternal Honour among all the Sons. of Men.
