Pafcal had laid the Scheme of this Work, many Years before his Death and yet we ought not to wonder that he began fo late to commit any part of it to'writing; for he had always accuiiom'd himfelf to think very maturely of things, and to range and difpofe them in his Mind, c'er he fuller ed them to venture farther, carefully weigh ing and examining which on ht to be pla eed firfi, and which laft, an what Order of the whole might feem molt conducible to the defired Effect. And then being Ma iler of an excellent, or, as we may truly fay, a prodigious Memory, fo as to have 0 ten declared that he never forgot any thing which he had once im rinted in it; he was under no Apprehen ton of letting thofe Thoughts, which he had at any time form'd, afterwards efcape him fo that it was ufual with him to tarry very long be fore he fet them down in Paper 5 either for want of Leifure, or becaufe the State of his Health, which was fearce ever better than crafy and uncertain, could not fupport a more laborious Application.
