Works of Dr. Isaac Barrow, Vol. 5

Excerpt from The Works of Dr. Isaac Barrow, Vol. 5: With Some Account of His Life, Summary of Each Discourse, Notes, &C Sir, I Most humbly present to Your Majesty a Work, the author whereof, my son, was much the more dear to me for his constant and exemplary loyalty. Not only the general obligation of a subject always engaged him to Your Majesty's service, but the particular favours wherewith you were pleased to honour and encourage his studies, might probably have induced him to a Dedication of this kind, if his modesty would have let him think any thing of his worthy Your Majesty's patronage. This, which I here offer, is, by those who are better able to judge of it than myself, valued as the most considerable of his productions: but it chiefly presumes to entitle itself to your royal protection, because it is an Explication and Vindication of that Christian Faith, whereof Your Majesty is the great Defender.
