remain_v of_o mr._n john_n oldham_n in_o verse_n and_o prose_n london_n print_v for_o jo._n hindmarsh_n at_o the_o golden_a ball_n over_o against_o the_o royal_a exchange_n in_o cornhill_n 1687._o advertisement_n the_o author_n of_o these_o follow_a poem_n be_v dead_a the_o publisher_n think_v fit_a to_o acquaint_v the_o world_n that_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o expose_v they_o now_o in_o print_n be_v not_o so_o much_o for_o his_o own_o interest_n though_o a_o bookseller_n that_o disclaim_v interest_n for_o a_o pretence_n will_v no_o more_o be_v believe_v now_o adays_o than_o a_o thorough_a pace_a fanatic_a that_o pretend_v he_o make_v a_o journey_n to_o new_a england_n pure_o for_o conscience_n sake_n but_o for_o secure_v the_o reputation_n of_o mr._n oldham_n which_o may_v otherwise_o have_v suffer_v from_o worse_a hand_n and_o out_o of_o a_o desire_n he_o have_v to_o print_v the_o last_o remain_v of_o his_o friend_n since_o he_o have_v the_o good_a fortune_n to_o publish_v his_o first_o piece_n he_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o great_a piece_n of_o injustice_n to_o publish_v the_o posthumou_n work_v of_o author_n especial_o such_o that_o we_o may_v suppose_v they_o have_v bring_v to_o the_o file_n and_o send_v out_o with_o more_o advantage_n into_o the_o world_n have_v they_o not_o be_v prevent_v by_o untimely_a death_n and_o therefore_o assure_v you_o he_o have_v never_o presume_v to_o print_v these_o follow_a miscellany_n have_v they_o not_o already_o be_v countenance_v by_o man_n of_o unquestionable_a repute_n and_o esteem_v he_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o persuasion_n with_o several_a other_o of_o his_o own_o profession_n that_o never_o care_v how_o much_o they_o lessen_v the_o reputation_n of_o the_o poet_n if_o they_o can_v but_o enhance_v the_o value_n of_o the_o book_n that_o ransack_v the_o study_n of_o the_o decease_a and_o print_v all_o that_o pass_v under_o the_o author_n hand_n from_o fifteen_o to_o forty_o and_o upward_o and_o as_o the_o incomparable_a mr._n cowley_n have_v express_v it_o think_v a_o rude_a heap_n of_o ill_o place_v stone_n a_o better_a monument_n than_o a_o neat_a tomb_n of_o marble_n
