Sir,

I herewthherewith send you MonsrMonsieur Hugens's present, wchwhich came lately to my hands amongst some other Copies, wchwhich he presenteth other members of yethe R. Society wthwith. When you shall haue perused and consider'd it, I doubt not but you will return him yryour acknowledgements together wthwith yryour thoughts of the book; wchwhich latter is the end, why he sends copies of it to learned men.

I forgot hitherto to send you the receipt for yethe 26 shillings; wchwhich kind of payment you need not henceforth trouble yrselfyourself about: aAnd I could heartily wish, you would passe by the incongruities, ytthat may haue been committed by one or other of our Body towards you, and consider, that barely any Company will be found in the world, in wchwhich there is not some or other ytthat wants discretion, you may be satisfied, that the Body in general esteems and loves you, wchwhich I can assure you of, fide viri boni, who am wthwith all integrity

Sir yryour humble and faithful servtservant

Oldenburg.

To his honor'd Friend Mr Isaac Newton, Professor of the Mathematiques

At his chamber in Trinity Colledge in
