A LETTER from a Friend concerning the ensuing CASES SIR HAving perused the Papers you sent me I can safely vouch them for Genuine and not in the least Spurious by that resemblance they wear of their Reverend Author and therefore you need not fear to bring them to the Publick Test and let them look the Sun in the face 'T is true their first Commission was but short and long since expired they being designed only to visit and respectively satisfie some private Friends yet I cannot see what injury you will offer to his sacred ashes if by renewing that you send them on a little farther Embassie for the common good Indeed the least remains of so matchless a Champion so invincible an Advocate in foro Theologico like the filings and fragments of Gold ought not to be lost and pity the world was not worthy many more of his learned Labours But Praestat de Carthagine tacere quàm pauca dicere far be it from me to ●pinion the wings of his Fame with any rude Letters of Commendation or by way of precarious Pedantry to court any man into a belief of his worth since that were to attempt Iliads after Homer and spoil a Piece done already to the life by his own Pencil the works whereof do sufficiently praise him in the gates All I aim at is to commend and promote your pious intention to give the world security by making these Papers publick that they shall never hereafter stand in need of any other hand to snatch them out of the fire a doom you say once written upon them I have no farther trouble to give you but to thank you for those excellent Pieces of the same Hand and Stamp as every Intelligent Reader will easily discern with which as an accession to this Edition your Care and Piety hath obliged the Publick Only again let me bespeak your vigilance over the Press which by her daily teeming and expertness or at least negligence of the Midwife is wont of late to spoil good births with monstrous deformities and unpardonable Errata so you will avoid a double guilt contracted by some without fear or wit of abusing your critical Reader on the one hand and your most judiciously exact Writer on the other and if that may contribute any thing more very much gratifie the most unworthy of his Admirers The Eight Cases Determined I.

Sa. at S. B. Nottingh March 28. 1634. SIR WHen by your former Letter you desired my present Resolution in two Questions therein proposed concerning the Sabbath although I might not then satisfie your whole desire being loath to give in my opinion before I had well weighed it yet that I might not seem altogether to decline the task imposed on me by you I engaged my self by promise within short time to send you what upon further consideration I should conceive thereof Which promise so far as my many distractions and occasions would permit I endeavoured to perform by perusing the Books you sent me in the one whereof I found written on the spare paper with your hand a Note moving a third Question about the Name of the Sabbath also and by looking up and reviewing such scattered Notes as I had touching that Subject But then I met with difficulties so many and great whereof the more I considered the more still I found them to encrease that I saw it would be a long work and take up far more time then I could spare to digest and enlarge what seemed needful to be said in the three Questions in such sort as was requisite to give any tollerable satisfaction either to my self or others Wherefore I was eftsoons minded to have excused my self by Letter to you from farther medling with these Questions and to have remitted you over for better satisfaction to those men that have both better leisure to go about such a business and better abilities to go through with it than I have for to questions of importance better nothing be said than not enough And the rather was I minded so to do when I perceived there were rumors spread in these parts occasioned as I verily suppose by some speeches of your good friend Mr. Tho. A. as if I were writing a Treatise of the morality of the Sabbath Which besides that it might raise an expectation of some great matters which I could in no wise answer it might also expose that little I should have done to the mis-censures of men wedded to their own opinions if after I had laid mine open it should have happened in any thing as in some things like enough it would to have disagreed from theirs Yet because by your late kind Letter wherein whilst I was slack in making it you have prevented mine excuse I perceive the continuance of your former desire I have therefore since resolved to do somewhat though not so much as I first intended hoping that you will in friendly manner interpret my purpose therein I
