- Summary:
- "Before we enter upon the Book it felt, it is requisite the Reader should be well informed what he is to understand by that Wisdom which is the Name, the Subject, and the End of it; and after what manner it is intended to be treated of in the following Sheets. Now it may very truly be said, that there are three sorts of Wisdom, Divine, Humane, and Worldly; these relate and bear proportion to God, to Nature in its primitive Purity and Perfection; and to Nature lapsed and depraved"--Preface.
