When this volume was finished and past the press, in reviewing the whole, for the correction of some verbal faults: I see and must confess we have offended by our negligence, not only in the words, but also in the matter: yet so as I trust the loving and Christian readers, will accept our endeavour without offence. In the Counsels ye have often this addition, he thought this, or he said that: here I must request thee (Christian reader) not to judge any such speeches to proceed from any pride or singularity: for that such observations (as I suppose) were collected and taken by *others, and not set down by himself.

In that one treatise of the Sabbath I found his own hand, with many *corrections, and yet not answering (I am well assured) his hearts desire.
