holy Ambrose sayeth Envy is nothing else but a Grief of the Mynd at other Mens Prosperitie And for my own part I do declare it to the whole World I hate such unrighteous and base Practises For Agnes Campbel Spouse to Patrick Telfer hath caused Counterfit and Re-print my Almanacks into her Printing-house these severall years bygone sometimes Entituling them by Aberdeens Almanack and other times according to Forbesses Almanack besides she hath for the ensuing year 1684 caused Print an Almanack as it were set fourth at Aberdeen and Printed in Aberdeen which is a most notorious untrueth impudently affixing thereto some Lynes in the End of Dogrell Rhyme whereby she would have me to Patronise her base Execrations as tho 〈◊〉 contrary to Christianity and the good Conduct of Nature should wish any man for any cause to hang himself For I seriously declare tho I be but one of the meanest of his MAIESTIES Subjects yet I not only heartily pray for his long Life and good Health which I hold more to be my Duty then to drink but also I have so much presumption as to strive to follow my GRACIOUS SOVERAIGN in this matter who by his numerous Acts of Clemency hath indeed sufficiently declared to all the World that he exactly followeth his Great LORD and MASTER in this that he wisheth not the Death or Ruin of his Subjects but rather that they would Repent and Live For as Horace said well Subjects follow the Example of their Princes as certain Flowres turne according to the Sun Almighty GOD preserve Our Gracious KING And 's Subjects Hearts to due Obedience bring And as for Robert Sanders Printer in Glasgow he hath not onely inserted a notorious Untrueth into all his Almanacks these diverse years bygone saying set forth at Aberdeen as if the Famous Colledge of Glasgow had not so much Mathematicks as to set forth an yearly Almanack which in him was no great Act of Prudence but also contrare to the Good and Iust Lawes of this Ancient Kingdom he hath caused Counterfit the City of Aberdeen's Armes and affixed them upon his most Erronious and Uncorrected Almanack for the year 1684 whereof I am ashamed to speak that such an Almanack should be published in this Kingdom as may be seen into the Termly Quarters and Asspects c. tending much to the Discredit of that Famous City of Glasgow not deserving to be called their Printer Consideratis Considerandis All which unrighteous Practises proceedeth more from Envy then sound Christianity according to the good old Saying The Envyous man thinketh his Neighbours losses to be his Gaines And as the Apostle sayeth Titus 1. 15. Vnto the Pure all things are pure but unto them that are defiled and unbeleeving is nothing pure but even their very Minde and Conscience is defyled And as for their Lying which is such a gross Sin that the Holy Spirit of GOD in the Scriptures doth very often expresly prohibet as Rev. 21. 27. Rev. 22 15 and very many other places in Scripture Yea King David himself sayeth Psalm 63. 11. The mouth of them that speak Lie shall be stopped c.
