ARTICLE XXVI. The History of the NEW CHARTER.

LET my Reader, I beseech him, now be armed with abundance of Patience. I am entering into a Story, which I wish I could manage with the Dispatch of the He-Goat in the Visions of Daniel. But it is a Story that should and must be told: and I foresee, it will prove a long Chapter, let me do what I can. Of the Poets, whereof tis Remarked the one knew what to say, the other knew what Not to say, I am Confident, even the latter, (and he who has made his Eneids, as we now have them, twenty times as short as they were in the first Composing of them) could not give it much more Concisely than what shall be now endeavoured.
