to_o read_v the_o follow_a poem_n of_o my_o own_o i_o can_v only_o recommend_v it_o to_o your_o read_n when_o you_o be_v more_o incline_v to_o read_v verse_n than_o prose_n and_o i_o beg_v of_o you_o if_o you_o find_v any_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o you_o think_v well_o say_v not_o to_o attribute_v it_o to_o i_o but_o to_o those_o great_a man_n who_o i_o name_v but_o now_o who_o work_n i_o have_v only_o transcribe_v to_o their_o author_n great_a disadvantage_n if_o this_o small_a piece_n shall_v contribute_v any_o thing_n towards_o the_o confirm_a you_o in_o the_o belief_n of_o a_o godhead_n i_o shall_v think_v my_o time_n well_o spend_v in_o write_v it_o if_o not_o i_o shall_v however_o have_v this_o to_o comfort_v i_o that_o i_o write_v it_o with_o a_o sincere_a design_n to_o do_v you_o good_a and_o to_o perform_v the_o office_n that_o i_o owe_v to_o you_o of_o a_o most_o faithful_a friend_n and_o oblige_v humble_a servant_n the_o preface_n when_o i_o write_v this_o poem_n i_o design_v to_o have_v put_v all_o the_o article_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n into_o verse_n that_o so_o i_o may_v entice_v those_o man_n to_o look_v upon_o a_o book_n of_o poetry_n who_o have_v not_o fixedness_n and_o solidity_n enough_o to_o consider_v the_o many_o excellent_a treatise_n on_o this_o subject_a in_o prose_n and_o therefore_o i_o do_v intend_v to_o make_v use_n of_o common_a and_o obvious_a argument_n thereby_o to_o make_v each_o article_n as_o clear_v and_o plain_a as_o possible_o i_o can_v but_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o this_o will_v be_v a_o work_n of_o time_n and_o will_v require_v great_a learning_n and_o industry_n i_o begin_v to_o despair_v of_o ever_o compass_v it_o and_o therefore_o resolve_v to_o let_v this_o poem_n come_v out_o into_o the_o world_n by_o its_o self_n and_o try_v its_o fortune_n i_o think_v i_o need_v not_o make_v any_o apology_n for_o print_v a_o discourse_n on_o this_o subject_a for_o if_o ever_o any_o thing_n of_o this_o nature_n be_v necessary_a it_o be_v certain_o so_o now_o when_o man_n be_v arrive_v to_o that_o pitch_n of_o impudence_n and_o profaneness_n that_o they_o think_v it_o a_o piece_n of_o wit_n to_o deny_v the_o be_v of_o a_o god_n and_o to_o laugh_v at_o that_o which_o they_o can_v argue_v against_o or_o at_o least_o when_o man_n live_v at_o such_o a_o licentious_a rate_n that_o we_o may_v easy_o see_v they_o be_v like_o the_o psalmist_n fool_n and_o say_v in_o their_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o god_n i_o be_o therefore_o well_o satisfy_v that_o i_o make_v choice_n of_o a_o very_a good_a subject_n i_o only_o wish_v the_o poem_n may_v be_v find_v worthy_a of_o it_o and_o strong_a enough_o to_o defend_v so_o important_a a_o truth_n many_o reason_n i_o have_v for_o the_o publish_n of_o it_o which_o i_o think_v it_o may_v not_o be_v improper_a here_o to_o mention_v the_o first_o be_v this_o that_o there_o be_v many_o copy_n of_o it_o go_v abroad_o which_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v send_v to_o the_o press_n uncorrected_a the_o second_o be_v because_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o this_o nature_n extant_a in_o our_o english_a tongue_n i_o mean_v no_o particular_a poem_n purposely_o write_v on_o this_o subject_a my_o last_o and_o main_a reason_n be_v because_o some_o judicious_a man_n have_v think_v it_o not_o altogether_o unfit_a to_o do_v some_o good_a in_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v well_o accept_v of_o and_o have_v its_o design_v effect_n
