and_o read_v the_o title_n page_n and_o consider_v the_o drift_n of_o the_o publisher_n i_o be_v amaze_v to_o see_v my_o name_n prefix_v and_o passage_n which_o concern_v i_o publish_v without_o my_o knowledge_n and_o ussher_v with_o such_o harsh_a and_o unsavoury_a language_n and_o scripture_n so_o wrest_v and_o missapply_v nor_o can_v i_o have_v rest_n in_o my_o spirit_n till_o i_o have_v resolve_v upon_o this_o protestation_n which_o i_o now_o publish_v for_o the_o declaration_n both_o of_o my_o innocence_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o of_o my_o hearty_a dislike_n of_o this_o course_n first_o therefore_o i_o do_v solemniley_o and_o sad_o protest_v these_o three_o follow_v particular_n 1._o that_o i_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v yet_o learn_v who_o be_v the_o publisher_n thereof_o 2_o that_o he_o have_v not_o my_o approbation_n or_o consent_v to_o this_o publish_v of_o it_o 3._o that_o i_o do_v account_v the_o injury_n do_v herein_o so_o great_a that_o i_o know_v not_o how_o the_o publisher_n of_o it_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o make_v satisfaction_n other_o wise_a then_o by_o revoke_v his_o book_n burn_v the_o whole_a impression_n or_o print_v another_o that_o may_v pass_v as_o public_o as_o this_o be_v like_a to_o do_v in_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o fault_n second_o what_o motive_n set_v this_o publisher_n upon_o this_o work_n i_o know_v not_o nor_o can_v i_o magine_v unless_o i_o know_v the_o man_n if_o the_o arrow_n against_o the_o separation_n stick_v still_o in_o his_o side_n paget_n a_o book_n be_v make_v by_o mr._n paget_n and_o cause_v he_o thus_o to_o kick_v and_o fling_v let_v he_o know_v that_o recrimination_n be_v no_o apology_n paget_n a_o book_n be_v make_v by_o mr._n paget_n and_o book_n be_v better_o answer_v by_o argument_n than_o

that_o quarrail_a be_v the_o doer_n of_o it_o i_o wish_v he_o to_o consider_v serious_o whether_o some_o by-respect_n or_o secret_a distemper_n have_v not_o bias_v his_o spirit_n a_o wrong_n way_n or_o imbitter_v it_o too_o much_o three_o see_v the_o publisher_n conseal_v his_o name_n say_v publish_v by_o one_o that_o etc._n etc._n i_o pray_v he_o to_o inform_v himself_o of_o three_o thing_n

myself_o be_v represent_v to_o the_o public_a view_n as_o a_o contentious_a person_n which_o i_o natural_o abhor_v and_o by_o grace_n much_o more_o the_o injury_n also_o will_v have_v fall_v upon_o so_o many_o person_n as_o upon_o this_o occasion_n shall_v have_v be_v scandalize_v by_o evil_a surmise_n unjust_o receive_v against_o i_o which_o be_v slander_n in_o heart_n quaere_fw-la 2_o 2_o

my_o knoâ—wledg_n and_o against_o my_o mind_n i_o leave_v the_o publisher_n to_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o these_o particular_n which_o while_o he_o endeavore_v to_o do_v i_o will_v labour_v to_o

concern_v first_o i_o confess_v that_o about_o six_o month_n since_o have_v be_v often_o provoke_v by_o injurious_a report_n about_o my_o letter_n to_o the_o classis_fw-la and_o about_o my_o tenet_n

and_o have_v be_v much_o solicit_v by_o particular_a friend_n to_o give_v my_o answer_n to_o such_o objection_n as_o be_v daily_o bring_v to_o i_o and_z be_v inform_v that_o the_o dutch_a in_o that_o

that_o i_o purpose_v short_o to_o leave_v these_o country_n upon_o such_o necessity_n and_o much_o importunity_n i_o be_v constrain_v to_o set_v down_o those_o particular_n in_o writing_n that_o some_o friend_n may_v be_v able_a to_o speak_v in_o the_o cause_n of_o the_o dumb_a and_o to_o clear_v the_o truth_n in_o my_o absence_n second_o i_o profess_v that_o no_o man_n have_v the_o original_a copy_n but_o myself_o and_o that_o for_o aught_o i_o know_v i_o never_o give_v it_o to_o more_o than_o two_o to_o peruse_v and_o whether_o they_o both_o transcribe_v copy_n out_o of_o it_o or_o no_o i_o know_v not_o but_o they_o both_o return_v i_o to_o i_o again_o which_o i_o have_v in_o my_o keep_n at_o this_o instant_n and_o my_o intent_n in_o communicate_v it_o to_o those_o two_o be_v only_o to_o enable_v they_o to_o give_v private_a satisfaction_n to_o those_o that_o shall_v require_v it_o of_o they_o and_o so_o to_o enable_v those_o to_o satisfy_v other_o in_o a_o private_a

they_o be_v mutual_a good_a and_o comfort_n agreeable_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o rule_v which_o christ_n have_v leave_v for_o his_o church_n to_o walk_v by_o which_o i_o have_v hope_v hither_o to_o

follow_v that_o i_o be_o all_o to-geth_a innocent_a in_o this_o matter_n which_o as_o i_o know_v not_o of_o it_o till_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o i_o in_o print_n so_o i_o utter_o dislike_v both_o for_o the_o unseasonablenes_n of_o the_o work_n and_o for_o the_o unreasonable_a and_o uncharitable_a bitterness_n of_o the_o publisher_n last_o my_o request_n therefore_o be_v 1._o to_o m._n paget_n that_o he_o will_v rest_v satisfy_v with_o my_o ingenuous_a profession_n and_o acquitt_v i_o as_o he_o aught_v of_o any_o suspicion_n of_o guilt_n in_o this_o particular_a second_o to_o the_o publisher_n that_o see_v he_o omit_v to_o clear_v my_o innocency_n in_o his_o first_o publication_n of_o this_o phamphlett_n he_o will_v now_o do_v i_o so_o much_o right_a as_o to_o affix_v this_o sheet_n of_o

after_o it_o or_o stiche_a this_o with_o it_o assure_v themselves_o that_o if_o i_o can_v have_v foresee_v this_o injury_n i_o will_v have_v prevent_v it_o for_o how_o soever_o i_o have_v write_v nothing_o in_o that_o declaration_n but_o the_o truth_n which_o i_o be_o also_o ready_a to_o confirm_v as_o occasion_n shall_v require_v yet_o i_o affect_v not_o to_o make_v that_o public_a which_o
