THE

PREFACE

I

Now prefent my Readers with a Third Volume of Occafional Papers. They who found the former Volumes ufeful and entertaining, I hope will not be disappointed if they read this with the like Expectations.

The general View of these Papers is L 1BERTY, within the Bounds of Reafon and Religion. This is what will be always dear to wife and good Men, though the Stupid and Indolent, and vitious part of Mankind would give it up, and those who luft for unlimited Power and Dominion do their utmost to drive it out of the World.

I have expreft my Concern for Religious Liberty, though I have at the fame Time guarded against all the Abuses of it. In vindicating this Freedom, I have (in mine own Opinion at least) been contending for the Faith.
