for_o good_a work_n i_o be_o not_o indeed_o so_o sanguine_a as_o to_o hope_v or_o expect_v that_o notwithstanding_o the_o charge_n in_o the_o forego_n method_n be_v make_v so_o easy_a that_o a_o clergyman_n of_o two_o hundred_o pound_n per_fw-la annum_fw-la need_v not_o subscribe_v at_o a_o visitation_n above_o ten_o or_o fifteen_o shilling_n of_o one_o hundred_o pound_n above_o five_o or_o ten_o shilling_n and_o of_o fifty_o pound_n above_o half_a a_o crown_n or_o five_o shilling_n notwithstanding_o this_o i_o be_o not_o i_o say_v so_o unacquainted_a with_o the_o temper_n of_o the_o world_n as_o to_o expect_v that_o a_o affair_n of_o this_o nature_n shall_v not_o meet_v with_o exception_n from_o some_o and_o i_o also_o know_v the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n the_o strength_n of_o who_o kingdom_n do_v lie_v in_o the_o ignorance_n of_o mankind_n have_v too_o much_o interest_n at_o stake_n to_o let_v a_o design_n which_o do_v so_o direct_o tend_v to_o the_o ruin_n of_o his_o dominion_n over_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n go_v on_o without_o obstruction_n but_o however_o the_o management_n of_o this_o affair_n fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o such_o as_o do_v so_o well_o understand_v the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o book_n and_o who_o be_v withal_o so_o sensible_a of_o the_o peculiar_a need_n of_o they_o at_o this_o time_n i_o hope_v there_o will_v be_v a_o sufficient_a number_n find_v in_o most_o deanery_n of_o well-disposed_a and_o public-spirited_a person_n both_o among_o the_o clergy_n and_o gentry_n who_o will_v carry_v it_o on_o in_o their_o

will_v have_v to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o to_o increase_v the_o usefulness_n and_o esteem_v of_o the_o clergy_n so_o that_o though_o some_o shall_v happen_v at_o first_o to_o refuse_v subscribe_v it_o will_v not_o i_o hope_v discourage_v other_o from_o promote_a the_o design_n so_o far_o as_o to_o make_v up_o at_o next_o visitation_n the_o first_o ten_o pound_n among_o themselves_o towards_o lay_v the_o foundation_n three_o and_o now_o i_o be_o to_o show_v how_o the_o lend_v library_n particular_o may_v be_v preserve_v how_o the_o parochial_a may_v be_v secure_v from_o loss_n

full_o secure_v it_o may_v be_v provide_v by_o these_o follow_a method_n 1._o that_o they_o be_v mark_v upon_o the_o cover_v to_o what_o deanary_n they_o belong_v 2._o that_o they_o be_v lock_v up_o

limit_a time_n and_o it_o may_v be_v presume_v that_o any_o minister_n or_o schoolmaster_n for_o the_o use_n of_o such_o a_o library_n under_o his_o key_n will_v be_v willing_a to_o undertake_v the_o trouble_n to_o lend_v out_o the_o book_n and_o receive_v they_o in_o upon_o occasion_n 4._o that_o the_o limitation_n of_o time_n for_o keep_v a_o borrow_a book_n be_v determine_v by_o the_o

that_o a_o book_n will_v be_v read_v over_o with_o speed_n and_o care_n which_o if_o one_o own_n may_v lie_v in_o a_o study_n without_o be_v quick_o or_o very_o careful_o peruse_v upon_o presumption_n that_o be_v one_o own_n it_o may_v at_o any_o time_n be_v read_v and_o therefore_o this_o by_o the_o way_n may_v be_v consider_v as_o one_o advantage_n of_o lend_v library_n 5._o that_o the_o borrower_n have_v send_v a_o note_n desire_v any_o book_n his_o note_n be_v file_v up_o and_o his_o name_n enter_v in_o a_o book_n keep_v in_o the_o library_n for_o that_o purpose_n what_o year_n

that_o we_o may_v have_v 400_o lend_v library_n fix_v throuhout_v the_o kingdom_n and_o the_o clergy_n by_o a_o small_a subscription_n in_o every_o deanary_n shall_v continue_v to_o add_v the_o

be_v because_o in_o the_o former_a i_o know_v no_o good_a a_o clergy_n who_o be_v not_o able_a to_o furnish_v themselves_o with_o book_n in_o go_v over_o can_v do_v in_o a_o country_n where_o none_o be_v to_o be_v buy_v when_o they_o be_v there_o nor_o to_o be_v have_v from_o the_o merchant_n but_o at_o excessive_a rate_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a i_o be_o certain_a that_o good_a can_v be_v do_v which_o be_v expect_v from_o every_o minister_n here_o in_o england_n when_o the_o three_o part_n of_o our_o parochial_a clergy_n be_v not_o enable_v by_o their_o preferment_n to_o buy_v the_o four_o part_n of_o those_o book_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o enable_v they_o full_o to_o instruct_v the_o people_n in_o the_o mere_a necessary_n to_o salvation_n and_o as_o for_o our_o young_a gentry_n i_o can_v think_v but_o it_o will_v tend_v extreme_o to_o furnish_v their_o mind_n also_o with_o that_o useful_a knowledge_n in_o history_n travel_n humanity_n agriculture_n and_o all_o such_o noble_a

and_o wait_v upon_o they_o in_o their_o own_o parlour_n as_o will_v ennoble_v their_o mind_n with_o principle_n of_o virtue_n and_o true_a honour_n and_o will_v file_v off_o that_o roughness_n freity_n and_o barbarity_n which_o be_v the_o never_o fail_a fruit_n of_o ignorance_n and_o illiterature_n stand_v library_n will_v signify_v little_a in_o the_o country_n where_o person_n must_v ride_v some_o mile_n to_o look_v into_o a_o book_n such_o journey_n be_v too_o expensive_a of_o time_n and_o money_n but_o lend_v library_n which_o come_v home_n to_o they_o without_o charge_n may_v tolerable_o well_o supply_v the_o vacancy_n in_o their_o own_o study_n till_o such_o time_n as_o these_o lend_v may_v be_v improve_v into_o parochial_a library_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v

i_o can_v foresee_v against_o this_o method_n of_o procure_v these_o lend_v library_n and_o that_o be_v the_o excessive_a scarcity_n of_o money_n especial_o among_o the_o clergy_n at_o this_o time_n when_o they_o be_v exhaust_v more_o than_o other_o by_o public_a payment_n but_o indeed_o the_o very_a objection_n itself_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v the_o most_o forcible_a reason_n for_o put_v a_o design_n of_o this_o nature_n on_o foot_n and_o that_o especial_o at_o this_o time_n for_o be_v it_o so_o that_o one_o three_o of_o the_o english_a clergy_n be_v not_o now_o in_o a_o condition_n to_o buy_v a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o book_n well_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o hope_v it_o will_v be_v grant_v that_o book_n must_v be_v have_v or_o else_o religion_n must_v even_o fall_v to_o the_o ground_n and_o if_o so_o put_v both_o together_o i_o think_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o since_o very_o few_o be_v capable_a to_o furnish_v their_o study_n at_o their_o own_o proper_a cost_n it_o be_v therefore_o necessary_a that_o all_o shall_v join_v their_o force_n and_o what_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o single_o will_v be_v easy_a for_o they_o joint_o for_o multorum_fw-la

to_o what_o a_o high_a perfection_n most_o if_o not_o all_o part_n of_o useful_a learning_n have_v advance_v in_o this_o last_o age_n so_o that_o we_o may_v rather_o fear_v a_o declension_n thereof_o as_o be_v usual_a with_o every_o thing_n when_o it_o come_v to_o its_o full_a growth_n than_o hope_v for_o much_o far_a improvement_n therein_o but_o above_o all_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o impious_a principle_n which_o have_v begin_v to_o advance_v against_o we_o and_o have_v gain_v so_o much_o ground_n upon_o we_o by_o the_o industry_n of_o some_o who_o at_o great_a charge_n and_o expense_n do_v

to_o be_v the_o very_a time_n point_v out_o by_o the_o divine_a providence_n for_o we_o to_o provide_v ourselves_o of_o magazine_n out_o of_o which_o we_o may_v be_v sufficient_o furnish_v with_o that_o panoply_n of_o excellent_a learning_n and_o knowledge_n whereby_o we_o shall_v secure_v ourselves_o and_o other_o against_o the_o fiery_a dart_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o may_v be_v enable_v

to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o most_o proper_a season_n now_o to_o begin_v the_o foundation_n of_o lend_v library_n throughout_o the_o kingdom_n and_o whereas_o many_o of_o our_o reverend_a clergy_n have_v

of_o these_o library_n be_v not_o to_o serve_v a_o man_n private_a but_o the_o public_a interest_n of_o religion_n and_o learning_n which_o such_o reverend_a and_o learned_a person_n do_v well_o
