THE PUBLISHER TO THE READER.
IT my seem very strange to some in the World, to consider the different Fate of the Holy Scriptures among Christians, how very contrary their Affections are towards that Book; yet I for my part, do no more Wonder at the Fury of the Members of the Church of Rome against the Holy Bible, than at the Protestants Zeal for it: Since the learned part of the Church of Rome know that their present Religion, and the new Articles of it are not to be found in that Book; and the Unlearned part are told and believe, That it is a very dangerous Book; and therefore both of them, not without great Cause (as they think) have Reason to be angry and violent against that Book: But since Protestants do find, to their infinite Satisfaction, their Religion in the Bible, they think they cannot express too great a Veneration for it, and believe that their Honour and Zeal for it, ought at least to be as great as the Papists Fury and Anger against it.
