Front Matter, p. 4 (part 18)

30:i I have here followed the correction of Eschenbach, who reads σείρα instead of συῥῥα which is I think more expressive and philosophical. 32:k His mind is truth, and a little after, His; body full of light; or, Νοῦσ δέ ἀψευδὴς and Σωμα δέ ϖεριψεγγὲς, perfectly agree with what Pythagoras affirmed, concerning God; that in his soul he resembled truth, and in his body light. 33:l Enn. 5, lib, vi. 34:m Vide Ἀφορμαὶ ϖρὸς τα Νοητά. p. 233. 36:n Meaning material forms and qualities. 36:o It is remarkable that in the Hymn to Nature, among the following, the Deity is celebrated as all things, yet the poet adds that he is p. 37 alone incommunicable; which perfectly agrees with the preceding account of his subsisting in all things, and at the same time being separate and apart from all. 37:p If the word Gods offends the ear of the reader, he may substitute in its stead, thrones, dominions; &c. for I do not discourse concerning words. 38:q Stob. Ecl. Phys. p. 5. 38:r En. 2. lib. ix. cap. 9. 40:s In Tim. p. 286. 42:t De Abstinentia, lib. i. 56:e In the latter part of this Dissertation, we shall shew the wonderful agreement of the following Hymns, with the names given by Pythagoras to numbers. 74:x As a Latin version only of this valuable work is published, the reader will please to make allowances for the Paraphrase, where it may be requisite.
