POSTSCRIPT.
There may be little Need of Signifying that this Treatise has had a few Lines added unto it, since the Writing of the Attestation at the Beginning of it; tho' such as do not in the least affect or weaken the Attestation. But, because it is Needful, that when an Historical Relation is published, the Name of the Relator who must Support the Truth of it, should be Exposed; and when there may be those disaffected Persons that may be willing to know whom they may more particularly make the Object of their Animadversions, it is proper that some One should appear with a — Me, Me, Adsum qui scripsi, in me Convertite; — One that could have been content otherwise to have lain buried in perpetual Obscurity and Oblivion, does here, upon good Advice, own himself the Author of the Book, and annex and subscribe his Name unto it; As willingly as Austin did his, to his Book, De Moribus Ecclesiae.
