Excerpt from A Treatise on Self Knowledge: Showing the Nature and Benefit of That Important Science, and the Way to Attain It; Intermixed With Various Reflections and Observations on Human Nature

Mr. Baxter, indeed, has a treat se on this subject, en titled, 'l he Mischief of Self Ignorance, and the Benefit of Self Acquaintance. And I freely acknowledge some helps I have received from him. But he hath handled it (according to his manner) in so last and dill'nse a way, introducing so many things into it that are foreign from it, omitting others that properly belong to it, and skim. Ming over some with a too superficial notice, that I own I found myself much disappointed in what I expected from him and was convinced that something more correct, nervous, and methodical, was wanting on this subject.
