discourse_n be_v requisite_a to_o satisfy_v such_o as_o must_v hear_v and_o judge_v of_o the_o work_n what_o satisfaction_n this_o may_v give_v i_o know_v not_o but_o i_o can_v conjecture_v that_o few_o will_v be_v please_v with_o it_o except_o those_o which_o real_o love_v the_o work_n for_o itself_o and_o although_o i_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o be_v half_a so_o large_a when_o i_o first_o set_v pen_n to_o paper_n as_o now_o i_o find_v myself_o to_o have_v be_v yet_o i_o be_o not_o satisfy_v in_o my_o own_o work_n because_o i_o see_v that_o while_o i_o study_v to_o avoid_v prolixity_n i_o do_v not_o descend_v unto_o such_o particular_n as_o judicious_a statesman_n will_v perhaps_o look_v after_o in_o these_o endeavour_n concern_v the_o outward_a way_n of_o proceed_v and_o as_o learned_a divine_n will_v reflect_v upon_o concern_v the_o inward_a manner_n of_o reconcile_a man_n judgement_n &_o work_v peaceable_a disposition_n upon_o their_o affection_n but_o my_o apology_n be_v that_o particular_n depend_v upon_o circumstance_n and_o that_o the_o variety_n of_o circumstance_n be_v almost_o infinite_a therefore_o not_o so_o much_o to_o be_v discourse_v of_o as_o to_o be_v observe_v in_o the_o action_n and_o make_v use_v of_o towards_o the_o effect_n neither_o be_v it_o fit_a to_o lay_v open_a in_o a_o discourse_n communicable_a to_o every_o one_o the_o particularity_n which_o pertain_v to_o the_o undertake_n and_o must_v go_v along_o with_o the_o execution_n it_o suffici_v in_o this_o case_n to_o make_v the_o necessity_n and_o possibility_n of_o thing_n intend_v to_o appear_v which_o i_o hope_n be_v do_v if_o not_o so_o full_o as_o can_v have_v be_v yet_o in_o some_o satisfactory_a measure_n towards_o such_o as_o can_v conceive_v and_o make_v use_n of_o general_n rule_v applyable_a to_o case_n which_o every_o one_o acquaint_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o public_a affair_n easy_o can_v imagine_v and_o represent_v unto_o himself_o now_o the_o chief_a end_n for_o which_o i_o have_v put_v myself_o upon_o this_o discourse_n be_v that_o i_o shall_v at_o this_o occasion_n sum_n up_o my_o own_o thought_n to_o discover_v the_o same_o unto_o your_o lordship_n and_o to_o let_v other_o see_v my_o way_n who_o perhaps_o will_v concur_v to_o further_o it_o in_o time_n and_o place_n convenient_a for_o see_v the_o work_n be_v in_o itself_o most_o necessary_a and_o for_o the_o protestant_a cause_n most_o profitable_a and_o neither_o impossible_a nor_o so_o difficult_a as_o most_o man_n that_o have_v not_o try_v the_o ford_n as_o i_o

unblamable_a solicitation_n i_o have_v find_v small_a reality_n of_o assistance_n in_o a_o public_a work_n of_o so_o great_a necessity_n the_o jealousy_n and_o fear_n of_o the_o time_n i_o know_v

for_o success_n yet_o i_o shall_v not_o faint_v in_o well-doing_n because_o these_o general_a ground_n and_o rule_n to_o walk_v by_o be_v able_a to_o support_v i_o if_o my_o heart_n be_v upright_o
