to_o answer_v such_o objection_n as_o may_v be_v make_v either_o against_o the_o patron_n or_o promoter_n of_o this_o work_n not_o that_o i_o can_v mistrust_v the_o reception_n of_o it_o in_o a_o age_n so_o religious_a and_o refine_a as_o this_o but_o only_o because_o some_o person_n who_o can_v endure_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v old_a may_v be_v startle_v at_o its_o novelty_n and_o look_v upon_o it_o as_o some_o do_v upon_o new_a fashion_n which_o though_o never_o so_o decent_a and_o proper_a and_o convenient_a for_o we_o to_o use_v yet_o they_o can_v bear_v the_o sight_n of_o they_o because_o neither_o they_o nor_o their_o forefather_n be_v ever_o accustom_a to_o they_o and_o that_o it_o be_v only_o this_o unreasonable_a prejudice_n which_o thus_o impose_v upon_o they_o and_o so_o enslave_v they_o to_o antiquity_n in_o this_o matter_n this_o very_a argument_n will_v i_o hope_v make_v evident_a which_o be_v that_o if_o this_o new_a version_n have_v be_v so_o long_o

reject_v by_o all_o degree_n of_o man_n with_o the_o utmost_a contempt_n but_o i_o will_v hasten_v to_o the_o argument_n which_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o i_o design_v to_o make_v use_n of_o to_o promote_v a_o general_a reception_n of_o this_o translation_n which_o we_o e_z the_o agreeableness_n of_o this_o design_n with_o reason_n the_o conformity_n of_o it_o with_o the_o constitution_n of_o our_o church_n and_o the_o authority_n of_o convecation_n and_o its_o subserviency_n to_o the_o advancement_n and_o increase_n of_o piety_n by_o all_o which_o i_o will_v endeavour_v fair_o to_o

itself_o or_o the_o favourer_n of_o it_o and_o amicable_o to_o reconcile_v the_o unbiased_a reader_n to_o a_o candid_a and_o kind_a opinion_n of_o it_o for_o i_o think_v the_o best_a argument_n lose_v
