           that
           not

           Ministry

           was
           therein
           grievously
           traduced
           ;
           but
           the
           doctrine
           of
           the
           Gospel
           also
           miserably
           corrupted
           ;
           I
           could
           not
           forbear
           ,
           notwithstanding
           my
           present
           weaknesse
           ,
           yet
           to
           strain
           a
           little
           ;
           and
           to
           hazzard
           the
           incurring
           of
           some
           inconvenience
           ;
           partly
           for
           the
           cleering
           of
           my self
           from
           compliance
           with
           those
           ,
           whose
           opinions
           both
           in
           Pulpit
           and
           by
           Pres
           I
           have
           publikely
           protested
           against

           and
           partly
           to
           unbowel
           and
           lay
           open
           some
           part
           of
           that
           unsound
           stuff
           that
           lies
           closely
           couched
           in
           this
           covert
           vault
           ;
           leaving
           the
           further
           prosecution
           and
           discovery
           of

           strength
           ,
           and
           of
           better
           abilities
           for
           such
           a
           businesse
           then
           myself
           .
           To
           this
           purpose
           I
           had
           inserted
           the
           present
           
             discours
          
           a
           good
           part
           of
           it
           ,
           by
           way
           of
           
             digression
             ,
          
           into
           a
           worke
           of
           another
           nature
           ,
           that
           then
           hung
           in
           mine
           hands
           .
           but
           having
           dispatched
           that
           ,
           and
           finding
           it
           to
           have
           risen
           to
           a
           far
           greater
           bulk
           then
           at
           first
           I
           intended
           ,
           or
           expected
           ;
           in
           regard
           whereof
           it
           was
           not
           sodainly
           like
           to
           see
           light
           ;
           I
           thought
           good
           again
           to
           extract
           thence
           what
           concerned
           this
           subject
           ,
           and
           having
           somewhat
           further
           enlarged
           it
           ,
           to
           let
           it
           go
           by
           it self
           ,
           that
           it
           might
           the
           sooner
           come
           abroad
           .
           If
           by
           it
           any
           may
           be
           stayed
           ,
           that
           are
           but
           wavering
           or
           winding
           yet
           that
           way
           ;
           or
           any
           strengthened
           and
           warded
           against
           the
           wiles
           of
           such
           as
           would
           withdraw
           them
           thereunto
           ,
           (
           for
           of
           those
           that
           are
           fixed
           on
           it
           ,
           I
           conceive
           little
           hope
           )
           I
           shall
           have
           cause
           to
           blesse
           God
           for
           it
           ,
           and
           to
           think
           my
           paines
           therein
           wel
           bestowed

           However
           ,
           my
           prayer
           shal

           that
           Spirit
           of
           wisdom
           and
           of

           The
