resolve_v often_o to_o trace_v therein_o though_o all_o malicious_a vicious_a man_n shall_v continual_o reproach_v and_o scandalize_v the_o same_o and_o i_o yet_o once_o more_o i_o will_v imagine_v momus_n tell_v the_o honest_a man_n that_o the_o world_n be_v already_o too_o full_a of_o book_n even_o cloy_v pester_v annoy_v therewith_o and_o that_o therefore_o new_a one_o be_v superfluous_a and_o the_o honest_a man_n tell_v momus_n that_o there_o be_v not_o too_o many_o good_a book_n and_o that_o man_n especial_o scholar_n may_v easy_o inquire_v and_o know_v which_o be_v the_o best_a and_o use_v only_o they_o that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o and_o divers_a mind_n as_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v good_a that_o there_o be_v many_o and_o divers_a kind_n of_o good_a book_n that_o most_o man_n be_v but_o of_o plain_a and_o common_a understanding_n and_o therefore_o many_o plain_a and_o easy_a book_n be_v necessary_a that_o new_a thing_n be_v most_o look_v upon_o and_o note_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o amiss_o that_o there_o be_v often_o new_a good_a book_n publish_v and_o the_o like_a but_o admit_v it_o be_v so_o that_o the_o world_n be_v cloy_v with_o too_o many_o book_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o more_o requisite_a that_o man_n shall_v endeavour_v to_o collect_v refine_v and_o epitomise_v the_o same_o and_o to_o publish_v that_o only_o which_o be_v good_a necessary_a and_o well_o please_v to_o virtuous_a pious_a man_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n concern_v myself_o also_o if_o i_o have_v fail_v therein_o though_o i_o hope_v not_o much_o yet_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o do_v as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v yet_o true_o my_o own_o meditation_n contemplation_n and_o so_o addition_n in_o the_o study_v and_o write_v hereof_o have_v extend_v the_o book_n especial_o in_o some_o necessary_a place_n thereof_o where_o i_o think_v good_a much_o long_a than_o i_o intend_v i_o shall_v perhaps_o have_v please_v some_o man_n to_o have_v cite_v abundance_n of_o

therein_o all_o which_o indeed_o may_v be_v perform_v by_o a_o weak_a scholar_n in_o this_o age_n insomuch_o as_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o collect_v even_o out_o of_o modern_a english_a author_n such_o

be_v as_o brief_a as_o convenient_o i_o can_v in_o this_o book_n i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o use_v such_o a_o several_a stile_n and_o language_n as_o according_a to_o my_o weak_a skill_n and_o judgement_n become_v the_o several_a matter_n discourse_v of_o in_o the_o treatise_n and_o since_o i_o have_v be_v very_o much_o encourage_v in_o this_o way_n by_o many_o worthy_a friend_n aswell_o

and_o censure_n notwithstanding_o the_o common_a and_o pernicious_a slander_n and_o reproach_n of_o momus_n zoylus_n and_o their_o follower_n but_o if_o i_o have_v digress_v to_o return_v let_v we_o further_o consider_v that_o some_o enemy_n and_o reproach_n be_v even_o good_a and_o necessary_a for_o we_o to_o purify_v to_o try_v to_o quicken_v and_o enliven_v all_o virtue_n and_o divine_a
