To the Reader.
Reader,
ACcording to my promise in a former Book (intituled The Execution of the late King justified) be∣ing a chiefe cause hereof) I now tender thee this ensuing discourse, desiring (ac∣cording to the Title) the intended effect there∣of: which if, through obstinacie, diverted and repelled; yet I shall patiently acquiesce in its truth; knowing, that light and truth are so e∣ven when rejected of those they are offered to (as some more Orthodox assertions hereof have been, though their labour is not in vain in the Lord;) However, whilst thou readest it, shake off the inclination of thy opinion, doe it impar∣tially, and let truth and reason take impression upon thy heart, where ever they be, according to the desire of thy affectionate friend herein,
J. L.
