this_o be_v the_o occasion_n and_o manner_n of_o his_o write_v they_o so_o this_o doubtless_o be_v all_o that_o he_o intend_v in_o they_o unless_o moreover_o to_o communicate_v they_o to_o his_o

have_v he_o revise_v they_o for_o that_o purpose_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o read_v over_o some_o of_o they_o since_o he_o write_v they_o nor_o indeed_o so_o much_o as_o finish_v some_o of_o they_o nay_o so_o far_o be_v he_o from_o any_o thought_n of_o publish_v they_o that_o when_o he_o be_v importune_v but_o to_o give_v his_o consent_n to_o the_o publication_n of_o they_o he_o can_v not_o be_v prevail_v with_o to_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o that_o they_o be_v now_o publish_v the_o reader_n must_v know_v that_o they_o be_v publish_v not_o only_o in_o their_o native_a and_o primogenial_a simplicity_n but_o without_o so_o much_o as_o the_o author_n privity_n to_o it_o and_o thus_o much_o i_o think_v myself_o oblige_v even_o in_o justice_n to_o the_o author_n to_o acquaint_v the_o reader_n with_o and_o ingenuous_o to_o acknowledge_v and_o take_v upon_o myself_o the_o fault_n if_o any_o thing_n less_o perfect_a and_o complete_a or_o any_o wise_a liable_a to_o exception_n shall_v

this_o again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n oblige_v i_o to_o render_v some_o account_n of_o my_o do_v herein_o i_o confess_v i_o approve_v not_o the_o thing_n in_o general_n that_o be_v the_o publication_n of_o another_o write_n without_o his_o consent_n or_o privity_n but_o yet_o i_o know_v very_o well_o that_o those_o thing_n which_o in_o the_o general_n be_v for_o the_o most_o part_n unlawful_a may_v yet_o be_v so_o circumstantiate_v in_o a_o particular_a case_n as_o that_o they_o may_v become_v not_o only_o lawful_a but_o very_o commendable_a to_o be_v do_v in_o that_o case_n and_o such_o a_o special_a case_n i_o take_v this_o to_o be_v and_o though_o i_o think_v myself_o accountable_a to_o the_o author_n chief_o if_o not_o to_o he_o alone_o for_o what_o i_o have_v do_v in_o this_o case_n yet_o some_o account_n thereof_o i_o shall_v give_v to_o the_o reader_n so_o far_o at_o least_o as_o concern_v these_o write_n or_o be_v necessary_a for_o he_o to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o when_o i_o first_o meet_v with_o some_o of_o these_o write_n and_o obtain_v the_o perusal_n of_o they_o i_o think_v they_o well_o worth_a my_o pain_n to_o transcribe_v which_o i_o do_v partly_o for_o my_o own_o use_n and_o partly_o see_v they_o write_v in_o loose_a and_o scatter_a paper_n to_o preserve_v they_o from_o that_o danger_n of_o perish_v from_o which_o i_o conceive_v the_o author_n large_a and_o more_o complete_a work_n to_o be_v more_o safe_a and_o secure_a and_o have_v collect_v a_o pretty_a considerable_a stock_n of_o they_o i_o communicate_v some_o of_o they_o as_o i_o see_v occasion_n to_o some_o friend_n some_o of_o they_o person_n of_o good_a judgement_n and_o learning_n who_o very_o much_o commend_v the_o same_o and_o scarce_o any_o that_o see_v they_o but_o say_v it_o be_v great_a pity_n but_o they_o shall_v be_v print_v but_o beside_o the_o approbation_n of_o they_o by_o all_o to_o who_o i_o do_v communicate_v they_o i_o perceive_v that_o they_o have_v a_o real_a effect_n to_o the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o some_o who_o peruse_v they_o and_o this_o experience_n of_o the_o good_a effect_n which_o they_o produce_v by_o my_o communication_n of_o they_o to_o a_o few_o friend_n in_o private_a do_v further_o confirm_v my_o own_o opinion_n of_o they_o that_o they_o must_v certain_o do_v much_o good_a if_o publish_v and_o be_v make_v common_a have_v the_o same_o good_a influence_n upon_o many_o which_o i_o find_v they_o have_v upon_o some_o of_o those_o few_o to_o who_o they_o be_v communicate_v in_o private_a but_o for_o the_o manuscript_n copy_n which_o i_o have_v they_o be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o all_o those_o fair_a opportunity_n of_o do_v good_a with_o they_o which_o i_o see_v even_o among_o my_o own_o friend_n and_o acquaintance_n whereupon_o i_o solicit_v the_o author_n to_o publish_v they_o or_o at_o least_o to_o give_v his_o consent_n to_o the_o publication_n of_o they_o but_o can_v not_o prevail_v with_o he_o for_o either_o although_o i_o know_v that_o no_o motive_n or_o argument_n be_v more_o prevalent_a with_o he_o than_o that_o of_o do_v good_n but_o when_o i_o perceive_v as_o i_o think_v that_o the_o chief_a reason_n why_o he_o will_v neither_o publish_v they_o himself_o nor_o give_v his_o consent_n to_o the_o publication_n of_o they_o be_v such_o as_o will_v be_v of_o no_o force_n against_o the_o publication_n of_o they_o without_o his_o privity_n or_o knowledge_n i_o begin_v to_o consider_v of_o do_v that_o but_o before_o i_o resolve_v upon_o it_o i_o send_v two_o of_o the_o large_a of_o they_o to_o a_o person_n who_o judgement_n i_o know_v the_o author_n do_v much_o esteem_n to_o have_v his_o opinion_n of_o they_o not_o let_v he_o know_v either_o who_o be_v the_o author_n or_o who_o send_v they_o to_o he_o and_o have_v receive_v his_o opinion_n and_o commendation_n of_o they_o and_o that_o he_o judge_v they_o like_a to_o do_v much_o good_a and_o such_o as_o will_v be_v very_o seasonable_a to_o be_v publish_v i_o begin_v further_a to_o consider_v whether_o and_o how_o they_o may_v be_v publish_v without_o either_o wrong_n or_o injury_n on_o the_o one_o side_n or_o offence_n on_o the_o other_o to_o the_o author_n and_o for_o the_o former_a i_o reckon_v that_o his_o concern_n in_o it_o be_v either_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o disposal_n of_o the_o copy_n wherein_o will_v be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n or_o more_o especial_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o write_n to_o be_v publish_v if_o either_o there_o shall_v occur_v any_o thing_n therein_o not_o fit_a to_o be_v make_v public_a or_o if_o they_o be_v not_o so_o well_o polish_v and_o perfect_v as_o may_v be_v for_o his_o credit_n and_o reputation_n and_o although_o this_o may_v seem_v to_o be_v provide_v for_o in_o some_o sort_n by_o conceal_v his_o name_n which_o true_o i_o shall_v much_o rather_o have_v make_v know_v but_o that_o i_o know_v i_o must_v then_o venture_v double_o to_o incur_v his_o displeasure_n yet_o i_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o but_o a_o weak_a and_o insufficient_a provision_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v not_o unusual_a for_o learned_a man_n even_o from_o the_o very_a stile_n and_o genius_n of_o write_n to_o discover_v the_o writer_n a_o expriment_fw-la whereof_o i_o have_v see_v in_o a_o person_n of_o learning_n and_o part_n to_o who_o upon_o occasion_n i_o once_o show_v one_o of_o the_o write_n of_o this_o author_n but_o purposely_o conceal_v who_o the_o author_n be_v who_o notwithstanding_o be_v soon_o discover_v from_o the_o writing_n it_o self_n tell_v i_o he_o know_v

commend_v to_o mankind_n 2._o fear_v of_o terror_n or_o affrightment_n which_o be_v upon_o the_o sense_n of_o some_o great_a important_a danger_n that_o though_o possible_o it_o may_v be_v avoid_v yet_o it_o carry_v with_o it_o a_o great_a probability_n and_o immediate_a impendency_n as_o the_o fear_n of_o mariner_n in_o a_o storm_n or_o a_o fear_n that_o befall_v a_o man_n in_o some_o time_n or_o place_n of_o great_a confusion_n or_o visible_a calamity_n and_o this_o kind_n of_o fear_n of_o almighty_a god_n be_v sometime_o effectual_a and_o useful_a to_o bring_v man_n to_o repentance_n after_o some_o great_a displeasure_n of_o almighty_n god_n by_o sin_n or_o apostasy_n but_o this_o be_v not_o that_o fear_n that_o be_v here_o at_o least_o primary_o and_o principal_o mean_v but_o

there_o be_v no_o other_o ingredient_n into_o that_o fear_n jer._n 5.21_o will_v you_o not_o fear_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n will_v you_o not_o tremble_v at_o my_o presence_n etc._n etc._n jer._n 10.7_o

this_o fear_n of_o god_n that_o these_o excellent_a man_n commend_v to_o we_o as_o true_a wisdom_n now_o this_o fear_n of_o god_n arise_v from_o those_o right_a and_o true_a apprehension_n concern_v almighty_a god_n that_o do_v with_o a_o kind_n of_o connaturality_n and_o suitableness_n excite_v both_o these_o two_o kind_n of_o fear_n and_o those_o seem_v to_o be_v principal_o these_o three_o 1._o a_o true_a and_o deep_a sense_n of_o the_o be_v of_o god_n namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a and_o perfect_a be_v which_o we_o call_v god_n the_o only_a true_a god_n the_o

fear_n of_o he_o 2._o a_o true_a and_o deep_a sense_n knowledge_n and_o consideration_n of_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n and_o although_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v but_o so_o many_o
