The
things
I
treat
of
are fucb,
as
fometimes
none
of
the
Princes
of
this

knew, and
as
yetfew
of

are acquainted with.
Welled

they who-
have theirportion in them.
When
the
urgency
of
your
High,
and
important
Af-
faires,
wherein
fo
many Nations are concerned,
willlend
you
fo
much leafure, as
to
take
a
view
of
what is
here
tendred, the
knowledge
which
you have
of
mee,
will
de-
liver
you
from
a Temptation,
of
charging

the Dorfrine which
I
affert
and
maintaine. Andfo
that
may
ruune and
be
glori-
fied, whatever
become
of
the
nothing
that
I
have
done,,
in
the
defence
thereof,
I

Sheild

Unto

I
have not any
