1. Therefore I humbly pray you (in writing) to tell me, whether that which is written in the first Chapter of Matthews Gospel, verse 8, 9. where Matthew writes, that Joram begat Uzziah and Uzziah begat Joatham, be any error of the Transcribers, Translators or Printers, or the contrary to it, which is written in the second book of the Kings, and in the books of the Chronicles; if not, how may they be understood, for in those books it is written that Joram was Father to Ahaziah, and Ahaziah was Father to Joash, and Joash was Father to Amaziah, and Amaziah ⟨p. 3⟩was Father to Azariah, and A zariah was Father to Joatham; by the account of which Books, there is above an hundred Years between the death of Joram the son of Jehoshaphat, and Joatham,

2. And Secondly, Whether that which is written by Luke in his Gospel, Chapter 24. vers. 9, 10. 22, 23. where Luke writes, that Mary Magdalen and other Women, told the Disciples, that they had seen a Vision of Angels, which said, that Jesus was risen from the dead, and was alive; whether this be any error of the Transcribers, Translators and Printers, or any of them; or the Contrary which is written by St. John in his Gospel, for he writes Chap. 20. verse 2. That Mary Magdalen told two of the Disciples, and said to them, They (I suppose meaning the Adversaries) have taken away the Lord out of the Sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
