TO THE READER.

SIR,

IT is Civility to your self, and service to the Truth, that lets you know, these Pa∣pers were in their first draught ready, & intended for the Publick above six weeks since; (before the Rebellion, and in the nick of Time;) but the Press fell sick, and hath had a Disease; it was at first Costive and bound; which tenasm continued till our Emollientia, and Medicamenta resolventia, by the help of a Silver-clyster-pipe set it a work again: but then, with as much danger of a Lax or Flux, (for these times, the Press has such a Looseness as lets out the thinnest matter with the most ap∣plause) but that the supine care of the Corrector applyed such Astringents as were ready (and requisite;) and yet some Errataes have given him the slip; which the Author had no leasure to Supervise: Sed ubi non sunt Errata, non sunt Narrata; there is nothing without them I am sure. It is a pretty tale, and yet a Truth, (for as there be Erroneous Truths! so true Errours!) which the Press let pass upon the Bible, An. 1612. in Psal. 119. in stead of Princes have persecuted me, that Prin∣ters have persecuted me; and it is not long since Princes hindered us: but to say it now (of these in power) is the Errata of the Times; Sithence our Priviledges and Li∣berty to serve the Publick do publish the contrary; being so piously and peaceably revolved upon us after a sable night and scandalous hour of Temptation What is scattered with the Fork, I would have gathered with the Glean; but that I need not be so curious, if thou beest Courteous or Ingenious; and (as Cato said) I care not much for them, Who have a better judgement in their Mouthes, then in their Minds, in their Palates then in their Pates. Besides, I am called aside (of a sudden) into another Part of the Harvest, and must leave somewhat for the Rakers, as well as for the Reapers here behind me. Nor indeed did I cast eye upon all the Sheets or Proofs of the Press, much less time had I to Reade or to Correct them. At a Per∣functory View of some Papers, I saw these Errataes: Page 26. l. 28. read RE∣PUNCTION, p. 27. l. 18. Autopathy, p. 63. l. 26. in it, p. 67. l. 16. inoculated, p. 82. l. 22. Papistae, l. 22. Rapistae, p. 93. l. 23 r. and no considerable man, p. 95. l. •• and so to all parts, &c. What else I know not; And all I desire, is but as good constructions from you, as I am ready to give (with the Lords grace) instructions to you, and to receiv from you in the furtherance of the Gospel, this Cause, the Kingdom and Inte∣rest of Jesus Christ and of this Commonwealth.
