_But ’twas none of the smallest motives I had to this undertaking, that tho some famous English Authours have taken notice of the Arguments here produced (for the proof of a ~Deity~ drawn from the ~Idea~ we have of ~God~ in our Mind, ~&c.~) Particularly the most excellent and learned ~Dr. Stillingfleet~ in the first Chapter of the third Book in his ~Origines Sacræ~, who refers his Readers to a further search into these Meditations in the ~400 page~ of that Discourse; as also the Reverend Dr. ~Henry More~ in his ~Antidote against Atheism~, and more fully in his ~Appendix~ annex’d thereto, hath treated of our Authors demonstration; and yet nothing of the genuine original from whence they have borrowed all their Copies (tho some of them drawn in a larger size, yet I question whether so expressive) nothing of our Authors proper management hath ever appear’d in English. Those that assert these Arguments to have been long before thought upon by some of the Fathers, I shall refer to our Authors just vindication of himself in his several Answers to Objections made against these Discourses._ _And here I shall dismiss the Reader detaining him no longer from that satisfaction which he may reasonably expect from the perusal of the following Meditations; this Translation is dedicated to no one in particular, but is humbly submitted to the moderate censure of all candid Readers, by_ Their humble servant Will.
