PREFACE TO THE READER
   

CONTENTS OF THE CHAPTERS.

THE THIRD BOOK.

CHAP. I.

THE Introduction; with the Contents and Order of this Treatise.

CHAP. II.

The true state of the Question is propos'd. 'Tis the general doctrine of the Ancients, That the present World, or the present Frame of Nature, is mutable and perishable: To which the Sacred Books agree: And natural Reason can alledge nothing against it.

CHAP. III.

That the World will be destroy'd by Fire, is the doctrine of the Ancients, especially of the Stoicks. That the same doctrine is more ancient than the Greeks, and deriv'd from the Barbarick Philosophy, and That probably from Noah, the Father of all Traditionary Learning. The same doctrine expresly authoriz'd by Revelation, and inroll'd into the Sacred Canon.
