Three great Volumes and being one of the best Commentators upon the Gospels in the Judgement of most Learned men Maldonate an acute and Learned though a Passionate Writer Dr. Hammond Schmidius the German Greek Professor who writ the Greek Concordance Walaeus his Collections out of Salmasius Bartholinus Budaeus Buxtorsius Dallaeus L'Empereur Selden Mountague Petitus Novarinus Vossius and divers others Concerning whom I suppose I may say without injury to truth or my reputation I hope there are not many things in them of any considerable use to the Explication of any Text except what I have out of my proper and primary Authors that I have not endeavoured with Care to select out of them Besides these I have made ample Collections out of that Large and Learned Comment of Chemnitius and Gerhard upon the Evangelicall Harmony and Spanhemius his Dubia Evangelica I have also inserted many things where it was necessary or expedient out of Gomarus Iunius his Parallels Heinsius his Exercitations upon the New Testament and his Aristarchus sacer Tolet upon Iohn Vossius de Genealogia Christi some small Tracts of Capellus and Cloppenburgius and Sir Norton Knatchbull his Animadversions on the New Testament Out of Calvin I have taken more sparingly for the Reasons I have formerly mentioned and especially because his Comments upon the New Testament as they have been sufficiently recommended to the World by Learned Men of all Parties so they are to be bought by themselves at a very low price And for the Latter Part of this Volume upon the Epistles and the Revelation supposing it to be done in some proportion to this Part which I take for granted the Ingenuity of the Subscribers will oblige and incourage me to doe they may exspect it if God give me Life and Assistance about the end of the next Summer If that time seeme long to any of them I humbly offer for their satisfaction That this Volume will much exceed any of the former in bulk and therefore may challenge a proportionable addition of time that the Care of my Health as divers know will require at least a quarter of a years time out of that which is allotted to the Work and especially that two Presses cannot possibly dispatch the Work before that time And if I keep pace with two Presses as hitherto through God's Goodness for the most part I have done I hope I shall not be charged with slothfulness in carrying on the Work All which being considered I think I may say without vanity I have dealt ingenuously with the Subscribers and therefore promise my self they will not deal otherwise with me And I humbly conceive if I expect thirty instead of twenty Shillings for the whole Last Volume I shall not be censured by any ingenuous Person as a Transgressor of the Rules either of Justice or Modesty But because I earnestly desire that what is done may be done willingly and without regret I do hereby declare that if any of the Subscribers shall insist upon my last Proposall of twenty Shillings for the whole and proportionably shall send up only ten Shillings for the First Part it shall be delivered to them And as I return my most humble thanks in the first place to those few Gentlemen who have been Benefactors upon the account of my second Proposall whose Favour I shall as I am obliged particularly acknowledge in due time and place and after them to that small number of the Subscribers who were pleased to subscribe more then twenty Shillings so those of the Subscribers who shall think fit to send up more then ten Shillings for this First Part it shall be thankfully acknowledged To conclude I must intreat the Subscribers not to fail to send for their First Part both because it is an entire thing of it self and especially to prevent those many hazards which Prudent men will easily forecast may befall the printed Sheets when they ly by or may otherwise bereave them of the Work after it is done which if it should happen I shall satisfie my self that I have given them seasonable notice of it and therefore am clear from any Loss or Inconvenience which may arise from their neglect Postscript THE Subscribers are desired to send for their Books to St. John ' s Gate-house in London upon the 19 th day of October next or any time within 6 weeks after during which time the Ware-house-keeper will wait there for them every day from Two till Four of the Clock for which he refers himself to their Courtesie having no reason to distrust their Kindness his Time and Pains being in effect as much as in any of the former Volumes And whereas many Subscribers not hearing of my last publick Notice have not yet sent for their Third Volumes they may then also receive them upon their Payment of fifteen Shillings for each according to the Propositions If any Person desire these Advertisments for himself or his Friends he may have them gratis at Mr. Henry Mortlock's Shop at the White-Hart in Westminster-Hall Mr. Charles Smith's now at the Black-Swan but removing to the Angel near the Inner-temple-gate in Fleetstreet and Mr. Tho. Parkhurst at the Bible and three Crowns in Cheap-side
