Μετα τον περί Θεων λόγον, κ. τ. λ. After treating of our duty to the Gods, it is proper to teach that which we owe to our Country. For our Country is, as it were, a fecondary God, and the first and greatest Parent.

It is to be preferred to Parents, Wives, Children, Friends, and all things, the Gods only excepted.—And if our Country perishes, it is as impoffible to fave an Individual, as to preserve one of the fingers of a mortified hand.

fitions, he proposed to lay before the Public more than three volumes of the materials he had collected. What these three volumes contain, is the most interesting to the Public; and his health daily breaking, disqualifies him for proceeding farther at present.
