will_v appear_v more_o suitable_a to_o so_o learned_a a_o body_n and_o useful_a towards_o enlargement_n of_o the_o mind_n to_o a_o comprehensive_a charity_n he_o therefore_o get_v this_o treatise_n

and_o a_o great_a noise_n make_v about_o this_o well-designed_a book_n whereof_o some_o sew_v copy_n have_v get_v abroad_o the_o author_n hereupon_o make_v some_o change_n in_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o book_n leave_v out_o such_o passage_n as_o appear_v most_o offensive_a and_o of_o this_o impression_n he_o communicate_v more_o copy_n than_o he_o have_v do_v of_o the_o former_a but_o now_o

book_n that_o be_v his_o own_o 1._o by_o write_v and_o then_o by_o print_v and_o alter_a whole_o at_o his_o own_o cost_n thus_o it_o appear_v his_o design_n be_v not_o to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n but_o to_o promote_v it_o 2._o the_o design_n and_o tendency_n of_o the_o book_n i_o will_v presume_v to_o whisper_v to_o you_o out_o of_o hear_v of_o the_o convocation_n be_v such_o as_o partly_o by_o reconcile_a controversy_n partly_o by_o distinguish_a necestary_n article_n from_o those_o that_o be_v not_o necessary_a and_o cut_v off_o dispute_n about_o the_o modes_n

dispute_n among_o conscientious_a man_n which_o they_o be_v either_o not_o able_a to_o determine_v or_o not_o with_o full_a satisfattion_n to_o themselves_o to_o turn_v man_n mind_n from_o the_o study_n of_o opinion_n and_o speculation_n to_o practical_a piety_n devotion_n towards_o god_n and_o christ_n and_o love_n towards_o all_o christian_n of_o all_o persuasion_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n make_v rent_n and_o division_n heat_n and_o animosity_n about_o matter_n hardly_o determinable_a to_o be_v dangerous_a and_o unbecoming_a sincere_a christian_n this_o book_n i_o say_v have_v this_o design_n and_o tendency_n be_v not_o people_n prejudice_v against_o it_o by_o rash_a and_o presumptuous_a decree_n and_o censure_n may_v be_v of_o as_o great_a benefit_n to_o the._n world_n in_o

i_o doubt_v not_o but_o you_o will_v be_v of_o my_o mind_n but_o for_o all_o that_o i_o can_v have_v wish_v the_o author_n have_v not_o by_o some_o elegant_a figure_n of_o speech_n either_o border_v upon_o hyperbole_n or_o make_v his_o mind_n less_o intelligible_a to_o common_a reader_n and_o lay_v himself_o more_o open_a to_o the_o cavil_n of_o his_o fierce_a enemy_n which_o he_o do_v not_o fear_v among_o so_o learned_a man_n as_o our_o convocation_n for_o except_o the_o manner_n of_o expression_n i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o your_o own_o memory_n will_v suggest_v to_o you_o that_o as_o we_o say_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o contain_v in_o one_o bundle_n all_o those_o excellent_a precept_n and_o instruction_n which_o lie_v disperse_v some_o in_o one_o some_o in_o another_o of_o the_o philosopher_n so_o die_v naked_a gospel_n contain_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v find_v by_o parcel_n in_o other_o eminent_a and_o allow_v author_n who_o the_o oxford-convocation_n dare_v not_o pass_v sentence_n upon_o though_o they_o have_v appear_v of_o late_a year_n presumptuous_a enough_o in_o that_o kind_n witness_v their_o famous_a judgement_n and_o decree_n pass_v in_o convocation_n july_n 21._o 1683._o declare_v 27_o proposition_n to_o be_v false_a seditious_a and_o impious_a and_o most_o of_o they_o to_o be_v also_o heretical_a and_o blasphemous_a infamous_a to_o christian_a religion_n and_o destruction_n to_o all_o government_n in_o church_n and_o state_n and_o this_o at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o the_o court_n solicit_v that_o judgement_n for_o promote_a their_o horrid_a design_n of_o introduce_v popery_n and_o arbitrary_a government_n into_o these_o kingdom_n and_o root_a that_o pestilent_a heresy_n of_o protestantism_n out_o of_o all_o nation_n to_o which_o that_o oxford-decree_n be_v great_o serviceable_a and_o have_v the_o body_n of_o the_o people_n of_o england_n be_v thorough_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n equity_n and_o religion_n of_o

and_o superstition_n by_o the_o glorious_a courage_n and_o conduct_n of_o his_o highness_n the_o prince_n of_o orange_n nor_o can_v the_o peer_n and_o representative_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o
