of_o the_o world_n it_o have_v ever_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o man_n to_o write_v the_o civil_a and_o sacred_a history_n of_o their_o time_n that_o this_o usage_n as_o appear_v by_o their_o book_n have_v most_o flourish_v in_o the_o most_o free_a and_o illustrious_a nation_n especial_o among_o the_o greek_n and_o roman_n that_o the_o principal_a law_n and_o ornament_n of_o history_n be_v

by_o these_o word_n the_o great_a orator_n have_v give_v a_o noble_a commendation_n of_o history_n and_o a_o excellent_a description_n of_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v aim_v at_o in_o the_o compose_v of_o it_o now_o there_o have_v happen_v in_o our_o time_n such_o a_o change_n in_o religion_n as_o be_v not_o to_o
be_v parallel_v in_o any_o age_n since_o the_o apostle_n and_o there_o have_v follow_v it_o a_o great_a commotion_n in_o the_o civil_a state_n as_o be_v usual_a though_o i_o be_v not_o the_o fit_a

have_v bring_v it_o down_o to_o our_o own_o time_n and_o i_o have_v some_o hope_n that_o all_o who_o be_v not_o high_o prejudice_v will_v confess_v that_o i_o have_v not_o give_v the_o reins_o to_o my_o passion_n in_o any_o thing_n in_o this_o affair_n and_o that_o i_o have_v behave_v myself_o perhaps_o with_o more_o moderation_n than_o any_o other_o writer_n for_o though_o i_o willing_o

of_o religion_n i_o can_v not_o omit_v what_o concern_v the_o civil_a government_n because_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v they_o be_v interweave_v each_o with_o the_o other_a especial_o in_o our_o
