IT will not be improper to premise to this Catalogue an Account of those Treatises against Popery which were undertaken and part of them published near the end of the Reign of King Charles the Second It is not unknown to the World how great a Care and truly Christian Concern the Clergy of London in particular did discover for the Interest of the Protestant Religion and for a happy Union of all moderate Protestants within this Nation nor with what Moderation and Calmness Learning and Plainness several Tracts and Casuistical Discourses were Penn'd for that good purpose and how successful they were by the Blessing of God to the lessening our Differences and removing needless Scruples and perswading great Numbers to return and unite themselves to their Parish Churches This happy Success gave them hopes of reducing by the same Method the Papists among us and put them upon designing and writing for their sakes a Set of Tracts wherein the Controversie was to be fairly and calmly stated betwixt Us and the Church of Rome and such Arguments and Reasons used as might convince all consciencious Papists of the Errours and Danger in their Church Of these the following were published before the end of the Reign of King Charles the Second 1. A Discourse concerning the Necessity of Reformation with respect to the Errours and Corruptions of the Church of Rome Part I. Written by Dr. Stratford Dean of St. Asaph 2.

A Discourse concerning Auricular Confession as it is prescribed by the Council of Trent By Dr. Goodman Arch-deacon of Middlesex Thus far had the Clergy proceeded with these Discourses at the Death of King Charles the Second and now upon the Accession of a King of the Romish Perswasion to the Throne they were quickly forced to change their Method and to be upon the Defensive Part their Protestant Religion being freely struck at under the Countenance of a King of their own Communion by the Romish Priests and heavy things laid to their charge for having Calumniated and Mis-represented the King's Religion They little feared any opposition from the Clergy of the Church of England since they could not but judge them so cautious at least as not to face such inevitable Danger and mark themselves out for Destruction by daring so much as to mutter any thing much less write against the King's Religion which it would have been very happy for the Priests who have come off so shamefully since if they could have made it High-Treason at first which I am confident they wanted no will to do However our Clergy valued their Religion and their Church much more than their own Safety or worldly Interest and a Romish Priest could not sooner begin the Quarrel and open the way to that large Controversie which hath been managing ever since by charging our Church with Calumny and Mis-representation of the Church of Rome than he met with an Answerer who did indeed deserve the Honour of being the Leader of our Clergy in this large Controversie wherein so many have been forced to engage I will first give an account of the Controversie with him who wrote the first Book called A Papist Mis-represented and Represented and then proceed with my Catalogue as Methodically as I can In Answer to that Book was first written 17.
