the right Edition though being framed for his private use in his younger yeares about 23. he had no intention of it for the publick If any Sermon-Notes taken from him have been Printed in his life-time under his name or shall be hereafter which divers have of late attempted The Reader is to take notice that it was against his minde and that they are disowned by him which as he endeavoured to his utmost to suppresse while he was living so it was his fear to be injured in it after his death For a further confirmation of which I shall give you part of a Letter of his while he was Bishop of Meath upon the like intention of a Printer who had gotten into his hands some Notes of his Sermons said to be preached by him in London and was about to publish them which he wrote to Doctor Featly Chaplain to the then Arch-Bishop of Canterbury for the stopping of them in these words I beseech you to use all your power to save me from that disgrace which undiscreet and covetous men go about to fasten upon me or else I must be driven to protest against their injurious dealings with me and say as Donatus once did Mala illis sit qui me● festinant edere ante me But I repose cenfidence in you that you will take order that so great a wrong as this may not be done unto me Remember me to worthy Doctor Goad and forget not in your prayers Dublin Sept. 16. 1622.
