The last visitation

This copy of M. Bolton's, and intended by him for the press, was by M. Edward Bagshaw (overseer of M. Bolton's Will, and specially entrusted for the printing of it) delivered about nine years since to M. George Miller, Printer of M. Bolton's works, to be by him printed, as he had done his other books, M. Miller carried it to the Licenser, who kept it ⟨image 45⟩long in his hands, and at last refused it, as too precise for those times: while it was in the Licensers hands, one M. Milburne of intimate acquaintance with him, got a copy of it, and printed it about five years since: but upon examination, the transcribed copy was found imperfect, and by that means the book proved unsaleable. When this present copy was almost printed, M. Miller had notice of such a book, and not before. This is thought fit to be made known, that the Reader might understand that this present copy is the only true approved copy, and Licensed ⟨image 45⟩by an eminent Divine of the Assembly, as a fit and useful book for these present times.
