FOR The Reverend, his worthily much esteemed Friend, Mr. Isaac Ambrose, Minister of the WORD at Preston.
Reverend Sir,
I Crave your pardon for keeping your Papers so long: I have at length perused them, and returned them. I wonder at, and could almost envy you, that can find so much leisure, and employ it so well, in these hurryings and clatterings of the Times. I am yet, by Ordinance of both Houses, a Licenser of Books to the Press, and have made use of that Authority, by Subscribing my Name at the end of your Papers. I pray God bless you, and them, and all the rest of your labours, to the good of his Church, and the praise of the glory of his Grace: So rests
