A second admonition to Mr. Edward Bagshaw written to call him to repentance for…

Postscript.

Reader, since the Writing of this, two things have fallen out which make it a more displeasing work to me than it was before; And I am sorry that Mr. Bagshaw made it necessary.

The other is, The ⟨p. 189⟩Printing of the Life of Mr. Vavasor Powell, which hath so many good things in it, that I fear lest the mention of his false Prophecies (extorted by Mr. Bagshaw, who first published also his name as the Author of them) should abate their exemplary use.
