mortify_v as_o much_o as_o may_v free_v his_o minister_n of_o his_o proportion_n of_o it_o but_o though_o none_o of_o these_o shall_v succeed_v at_o present_a yet_o the_o t●cks_n of_o the_o tem●s_n must_v run_v out_o at_o length_n and_o then_o the_o kirk_n will_v be_v sufficient_o provide_v not_o only_o to_o pay_v this_o half_a month_n cess_n but_o even_o to_o pay_v the_o whole_a and_o free_a the_o heretor_n of_o their_o share_n of_o it_o it_o may_v be_v object_v by_o other_o that_o the_o fond_a will_v be_v too_o little_a and_o the_o work_n will_v be_v out_o small_a and_o contemptible_a but_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o though_o it_o may_v be_v small_a at_o the_o beginning_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v despicable_a for_o we_o know_v that_o rome_n be_v not_o all_o build_v in_o one_o day_n and_o it_o be_v demonstrable_a that_o these_o library_n will_v by_o this_o fond_a in_o a_o few_o year_n become_v very_o great_a and_o considerable_a so_o that_o the_o very_o mean_a of_o they_o may_v compare_v with_o the_o most_o famous_a library_n in_o the_o world_n for_o this_o fond_a will_v print_v nine_o or_o ten_o sheet_n of_o paper_n daily_o which_o be_v enough_o for_o any_o man_n to_o read_v and_o this_o 10_o sheet_n daily_o will_v be_v 3000_o sheet_n yearly_a which_o will_v be_v ten_o large_a volume_n of_o 300_o sheet_n to_o each_o volumn_n so_o that_o in_o 100_o year_n this_o will_v be_v 1000_o large_a volume_n consist_v of_o three_o hundred_o thousand_o sheet_n of_o paper_n which_o with_o the_o book_n that_o will_v be_v give_v in_o to_o the_o library_n from_o time_n to_o time_n by_o the_o minister_n and_o heretor_n may_v do_v much_o to_o comprehend_v all_o the_o valuable_a book_n extant_a but_o further_a this_o degree_n of_o perfection_n in_o these_o library_n may_v be_v much_o soon_o attain_v if_o the_o king_n and_o parliament_n shall_v think_v fit_a to_o augment_v this_o cess_n upon_o the_o heretor_n for_o some_o year_n or_o for_o print_v of_o some_o select_a book_n or_o if_o a_o more_o easy_a and_o speedy_a way_n of_o print_v can_v be_v invent_v than_o what_o be_v now_o in_o use_n which_o i_o be_o persuade_v may_v be_v do_v if_o man_n of_o sense_n be_v encourage_v to_o apply_v themselves_o unto_o it_o last_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o the_o different_a persuasion_n among_o minister_n may_v mar_v all_o this_o work_n but_o it_o be_v answer_v that_o though_o the_o different_a persuasion_n among_o minister_n may_v obstruct_v the_o free_a botrow_n and_o lend_v of_o book_n among_o they_o yet_o that_o needs_o be_v no_o hindrance_n to_o the_o settle_n and_o increase_v of_o the_o biliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n or_o to_o the_o pay_v of_o their_o share_n for_o maintain_v of_o the_o print_n house_n and_o for_o print_v such_o book_n as_o shall_v be_v think_v most_o necessary_a what_o have_v be_v say_v i_o hope_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o man_n that_o there_o be_v no_o difficulty_n in_o this_o work_n if_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o set_v about_o it_o therefore_o i_o shall_v in_o the_o next_o place_n say_v before_o you_o some_o consideration_n take_v 1._o from_o the_o advantagiousdess_n of_o the_o work_n 2._o from_o the_o honourableness_n of_o it_o and_o 3._o from_o the_o duty_n that_o lae_n upon_o we_o to_o provide_v our_o minister_n in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o their_o ministry_n which_o may_v serve_v for_o argument_n to_o persuade_v all_o person_n willing_o and_o cordial_o to_o set_v about_o this_o work_n 1._o this_o establish_n of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n will_v not_o only_o remedy_v the_o forementioned_a inconvenience_n and_o difficulty_n of_o student_n but_o it_o will_v be_v several_a way_n advantageous_a to_o the_o country_n for_o 1._o it_o will_v be_v a_o considerable_a manufactory_a and_o will_v maintain_v many_o people_n at_o work_n 2._o it_o will_v keep_v all_o that_o money_n in_o the_o kingdom_n which_o now_o go_v out_o for_o buy_v of_o book_n and_o paper_n 3._o it_o will_v encourage_v young_a man_n to_o follow_v their_o study_n in_o their_o own_o country_n and_o thereby_o prevent_v their_o spend_v their_o fortune_n abroad_o and_o many_o other_o considerable_a inconvenience_n that_o young_a man_n be_v expose_v unto_o in_o strange_a country_n 4._o it_o will_v allure_v and_o provoke_v gentleman_n to_o bestow_v their_o spare_a hour_n in_o read_v of_o new_a book_n which_o may_v prove_v a_o good_a mean_n to_o restrain_v they_o from_o game_n and_o drink_v by_o prevent_v that_o uneasy_a and_o wearisome_a idleness_n of_o mind_n which_o be_v the_o parent_n of_o these_o and_o many_o other_o enormity_n 5._o it_o will_v in_o a_o short_a time_n carry_v away_o the_o whole_a trade_n of_o print_v from_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o europe_n but_o 2._o as_o this_o establish_n of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n will_v be_v advantageous_a so_o it_o will_v be_v very_o honourable_a to_o this_o country_n for_o 1._o we_o shall_v not_o only_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o only_a nation_n for_o a_o while_n that_o shall_v have_v this_o regular_a and_o useful_a plenty_n of_o book_n but_o 2_o hereby_o all_o sort_n of_o learning_n will_v mighty_o increase_v and_o flourish_v among_o we_o and_o though_o we_o be_v not_o a_o great_a or_o a_o rich_a people_n yet_o we_o may_v be_v a_o wise_a and_o a_o learned_a people_n yea_o further_o these_o library_n in_o two_o or_o three_o hundred_o year_n will_v be_v so_o full_a and_o complete_a that_o the_o most_o famous_a and_o magnificent_a library_n in_o the_o world_n shall_v not_o out_o do_v the_o mean_a library_n in_o any_o paroch_n of_o this_o kingdom_n for_o number_n of_o valuable_a and_o useful_a book_n as_o have_v be_v already_o demonstrat_fw-la 3._o if_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o provide_v our_o minister_n with_o all_o thing_n necessary_a for_o they_o as_o a_o competent_a stipend_n manse_n and_o gleib_n that_o they_o be_v free_a from_o worldly_a care_n may_v have_v time_n to_o study_v and_o instruct_v their_o people_n then_o certain_o it_o must_v much_o more_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o provide_v they_o with_o competent_a library_n of_o the_o most_o useful_a book_n see_v without_o these_o they_o can_v study_v nor_o be_v fit_v sufficient_o for_o instruct_v their_o people_n in_o the_o truth_n of_o their_o religion_n 4thly_a see_v god_n have_v make_v all_o man_n by_o nature_n desirous_a of_o knowledge_n undoubted_o the_o satisfy_n of_o this_o desire_n must_v be_v a_o considerable_a part_n of_o our_o natural_a felicity_n for_o the_o only_a delight_n of_o our_o soul_n which_o be_v our_o better_a part_n in_o which_o the_o body_n do_v not_o partake_v be_v the_o delight_n she_o take_v in_o knowledge_n and_o contemplation_n and_o see_v god_n have_v so_o order_v it_o that_o the_o most_o part_n of_o our_o knowledge_n shall_v be_v communicate_v to_o we_o from_o our_o forefather_n and_o contemporary_n especial_o by_o their_o book_n and_o write_n it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o establish_n and_o promote_a of_o library_n in_o every_o paroch_n whereby_o the_o use_n of_o all_o sort_n of_o book_n may_v be_v render_v most_o free_a and_o universal_a and_o may_v be_v perfect_o secure_v to_o all_o our_o posterity_n will_v be_v a_o very_a effectual_a mean_n of_o increase_a knowledge_n and_o learning_n among_o we_o and_o of_o help_v we_o and_o our_o posterity_n to_o search_v out_o all_o the_o work_n of_o our_o god_n that_o we_o may_v admire_v and_o adore_v his_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n in_o make_v they_o such_o and_o in_o so_o wouderful_o dispose_v of_o they_o for_o his_o own_o purpose_n and_o glory_n which_o seem_v to_o be_v one_o principal_a end_n for_o which_o our_o bless_a maker_n have_v make_v we_o ratioval_a creature_n these_o thing_n be_v due_o consider_v i_o hope_v what_o have_v be_v say_v will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v all_o lover_n and_o encourager_n of_o learning_n that_o this_o sound_n and_o promote_a of_o bibliotheck_n in_o every_o paroch_n throughout_o this_o kingdom_n be_v both_o necessary_a and_o easy_a advantageous_a and_o honourable_a our_o interest_n and_o our_o duty_n
