TO THE

QUEEN.

Madam,

_Not long since the_ Bishop _of_ St. David_'s presented to Your_ Majesty _his_ Vindication; as _I would have done this my_ Defence, _if I had known how to get Access to Your Royal Presence_.

_Your_ Majesty _will perceive, that here's a sad War broke out between the_ Bishop _and my self, about_ Miracles; _which, in all probability, will cost a large Effusion of Words; and, unless Your_ Majesty _can accommodate the Difference, will hardly be terminated without the Slaughter of many Notions and Arguments_.
