These Questions may be fufficient to give the Reader fome notion of the Subjects, which have of late engaged the attention of the Difputants in the Divinity Schools at Cambridge. I will afford him an opportunity of contrafting our labours with those of our Predeceffors, without taking upon me to determine whether we shall derive credit or difhonour from the comparison. If he fhould think that we have in fome inftances a more enlarged view of the Chriftian fyftem, and more liberal notions concerning the manner in which diffentients from our particular mode of faith and worship ought to be treated than they had, I will take the liberty to fay, that there is room for improvement in both these points.

I once intended to have digefted the whole of Theology into a connected series of propofitions, with references to fuch Authors ancient and modern, as had treated the affirmative and negative fide of each, with the greatest clearness and precision.

The mere enunciation of a propofition conveys a degree of ufeful knowledge, and the various queftions which fuggeft themfelves on every important fubject in Divinity might be stated with fuch precifion, and made fo to depend on each other, that they would comprehend in a fhort compafs the marrow of many a bulky System, and would at the fame time give such a regular and complete view of the whole fubject, as conftitutes the chief utility of Syftematic Treatifes. I had made fome little progrefs in this work, when I was feized with a disorder three years ago, that has rendered me unequal to the exertions which its completion would require. If any perfon fhould be induced to undertake a work of this nature, he will find his endeavours much affifted by the Aphorifmi per Univerfam Theologiam Breviores, of Cocceius; and by his Aphorifms contra Socinianos et contra Pontificios; by the Syllabus Quæftionum præcipuarum, quæ inter Soci nianos reliquofque Ecclefie Reformata, fimul ac Pontificia Theologos ventilantur, publifhed in Bishop Barlow's Remains; by a fmall tract intitled Quæftiones præcipuæ, eaque nude propofita, de Univerfa Doctrina Chriftianorum, Bremæ 1617; by the Summa Theologica of Thomas Aquinas; for notwithstanding the ridicule which usually, in these days, attends the mere mention of the Angelic Doctor, I will venture to affirm, That in that work there are, mixed indeed with many difficult fubtleties and perverse interpretations of Scripture, not a few Theological queftions of great moment stated with clearness and judgment; by Doddridge's Lectures, by the Thefes Theologica of Voffius, and of Le Blanc, by the Syntagma Thefium in Academia Salmurienfi difputatarum, by the Works of Epifcopius, Limborch, Turretin, Curcellæus, Buddeus, Calvin, Arminius, Beckius, and by our English Divines; of whom it may be faid in general, that they have illustrated particular doctrines of Chriftianity with more ftrength of argument, and perfpicuity of language, than are to be met with in the writings of the Divines of any other nation.
