Chron. 19.6 Take heede what ye doe for ye execute not the iudgments of man but of the Lord and he will be with you in the cause and iudgment Prov. 24.11.12 Deliver them that are drawne to death and wilt thou not preserue them that are led to be slayne If thou say Behold we knew not of it he that pondereth the heartes doth not he understand it and he that keepeth thy soule knoweth he it not will not he also recompense every man according to his workes Imprinted 1607.

Fullers accompanied with some few lines wherin as it should seeme it was sent inclosed to a Gentleman of good worth and worship on this side the Seaes Having read it over perceiving it to be of very necessarie use for my Countrimen whose good I desire from my heart and whose welfare I take my selfe bound to procure as I may though now I be in a part farre remote from them I haue adventured to publish it to the view of the world the rather because therein both the uniust usurpation of the Prelates over his Maiesties Subiects is notably discovered and the lawes and liberties of the land the high Inheritance of the subjects are worthily stood for and maintained maugre the malice of the Prelates who as I heare studie and striue even with might and maine to beare downe all before them to the ruine of that sometime-flourishing Church and Common-wealth How the publishing of it wil be liked I cannot tell how ever I send it abroad to thy view even as it came to my handes which I doe I professe in the presence of that great God altogither without the privitie either of the Gentleman himselfe whose bandes I would be loth any maner of way to increase or of the silenced Ministers who haue felt the weight of these lawles proceedings too too long in the handes of the Prelates Reade it and consider well of it and if thou reape any benefite by it giue all the glorie to God alone who can if it seeme so good unto him by weake meanes bring great matters to passe Farewell To my worshipfull frend W.W.
