TO THE READER.
THese Papers that were published in several Parts, are now collected together in one Vo∣lume, which will be better preserved for fu∣ture use than in loose Sheets; the most considerable Tracts being too much neglected when they lie buried in a crowd of Pamphlets.
The Reader must needs be convinced of the great use∣fulness of this Book, when he considers that it gives an Account of the greatest Revolutions that have been known in many Ages. Here the present and future Generations may be informed concerning,
(1.) The Causes of the great Changes in these Kingdoms.
(2.) The Means whereby those great Changes were effected, viz. by the glorious Conduct of the Prince of Orange, (now King of England, &c.) the Lords and Commons joining with him.
(3.) The Nature of Magistracy and Government, and particularly of the Government of England: with a true Account of the Succession of the Crown.

(4.) The great Grievances these Nations lay under for several Years past.
(5.) The Lords and Commons asserting their Power; and their great Wisdom in filling up the Throne, and delivering us from Popery and Arbitary Power.
With several other Things of great Moment, which the Reader may see in the Contents drawn up all to∣gether before this Book, which will both gratify his Curiosity, and inform his Judgment. Vale.
