Very rare. Ony one copy recorded at auction in the past 30 years. "The present discourse is an amusing philosophical 'quadrilogue' with Sophronius (Boyle), Eugenius, Pyrocles, and Timotheus as speakers, in which the dilemma of the mind attempting to explain itself is freely discussed . There are several remarkably fine passages and the point of view throughout is refreshing and original ... The second tract on 'Judging of things said to transcend Reason', also a quadrilogue ... is somewhat more laboured and its arguments more academic. Its authorship is not established" (Fulton, p.144).
