WHereas I have frequently declared, according to the full intention of my heart, that I ſhould be always ready to correct any miſtakes, which I have inadvertently fallen into, through the courſe of theſe papers, I think my ſelf obliged to acknowledge, that I have received intelligence from a gentleman, whoſe veracity I can never diſtruſt, that I gave too much credit to a letter dated from Wadham college, concerning the publick lecturers at Oxford, there being two or three of thoſe gentlemen, beſides thoſe whom I have mentioned, who ought to be excepted out of the general cenſure. As I received this information too late to make theſe exceptions in their proper places, I muſt deſire the reader to accept of this general acknowledgement and apology, together with my promiſe, that if the publick continue their favour ſo far as to bring theſe ſheets to a third impreſſion, I will not only correct thoſe miſtakes, but all others, of which I ſhall be duly appriz'd; it being my determined reſolution not to perſiſt in any known errors, but to pare away every thing of that nature, and reduce theſe volumes to a ſeries of the moſt inconteſtable Truths.
