Matter was upon the Stage, of which, if this Treatise was not so near
its conclusion, the Reader might expect a more particular Account.

If there is any Analogy or similitude between the Transactions of
either World, he cannot account for that, 'tis application makes the
Ass.

And yet sometimes he has thought, as some People Fable of the
Platonick Year, that after such a certain Revolution of Time, all
Things are Transacted over again, and the same People live again, are
the fame Fools, Knaves, Philosophers and Mad-men they were before,
tho' without any Knowledge of, or Retrospect to what they acted
before; so why should it be impossible, that as the Moon and this
World are noted before to be Twins and Sisters, equal in Motion and
in Influence, and perhaps in Qualities, the same secret Power should
so act them, as that like Actions and Circumstances should happen in
all Parts of both Worlds at the same time.

I leave this Thought to the improvement of our Royal Learned
Societies of the Anticacofanums, Opposotians, Periodicarians,
Antepredestinarians, Universal Soulians, and such like unfathomable
People, who, without question, upon mature Enquiry will find out the
Truth of this Matter.

But if any one shall scruple the Matter of Fact as I have here
related it, I freely give him leave to do as I did, and go up to the
Moon for a Demonstration; and if upon his return he does not give
ample Testimony to the Case in every part of it, as here related, I
am content to pass for the Contriver of it my self, and be punish'd
as the Law shall say I deserve.
