Sect. 1. Having given an account of the Occasion of this discourse, and ⟨p. 163⟩mentioned the particulars that are, all, or some of them, to be taken into further consideration, before I proceed to their discussion, I shall by way of Addition, and Explanation to what hath been delivered in the former Treatise, give a brief account of my Apprehensions concerning the purity of the present Original copies of the Scripture, or rather copies of the Original languages, which the Church of God doth now, and hath for many Ages enjoyed, as her chiefest Treasure; whereby it may more fully appear, what it is, we plead for and defend against the insinuations and pretences above mentioned.
