I Have already handled the Seaſons, and Me-
teors belonging to this new World; ’tis
requiſite that in the next place I ſhould come
unto the third thing which I promis’d, and ſay
ſomewhat of the Inhabitants; concerning
whom there might be many difficult Queſtions
raiſed; as whether that place be more inconve-
nient for Habitation than our World (as Kep-

whether they are there in a bleſſed eſtate, or
elſe what means there may be for their Salva-
tion? with many other ſuch uncertain Enqui-
ries, which I ſhall willingly omit, leaving it
to their Examination who have more leiſure
and Learning for the ſearch of ſuch particulars.
