IT will not be improper to premise to this Catalogue an Account of those Treatises against Popery which were undertaken and part of them published near the end of the Reign of King Charles the Second It is not unknown to the World how great a Care and truly Christian Concern the Clergy of London in particular did discover for the Interest of the Protestant Religion and for a happy Union of all moderate Protestants within this Nation nor with what Moderation and Calmness Learning and Plainness several Tracts and Casuistical Discourses were Penn'd for that good purpose and how successful they were by the Blessing of God to the lessening our Differences and removing needless Scruples and perswading great Numbers to return and unite themselves to their Parish Churches This happy Success gave them hopes of reducing by the same Method the Papists among us and put them upon designing and writing for their sakes a Set of Tracts wherein the Controversie was to be fairly and calmly stated betwixt Us and the Church of Rome and such Arguments and Reasons used as might convince all consciencious Papists of the Errours and Danger in their Church Of these the following were published before the end of the Reign of King Charles the Second 1.
