Assurance of authenticity

READER. June 27. 1694.

Having been assured from Mr. Baxter himself, both by word and writing, that he had given this his Treatise in Manuscript of Universal Redemption, &c. to Mr. Joseph Read the now Publisher thereof; and having seen some of the Manuscript it self whilst it was printing off, and knowing it to be Mr. Baxter's own hand writing; I do (at Mr. Read's request) assure thee that this is the Treatise upon that Subject, which hath been so long desired and expected by the World from the Author thereof, Mr. R. B. And I cannot doubt but that an Impartial and observant Reading thereof will quickly discover that acumen of judgment which will evince it to be his. Thine in the best of Bonds and Services,
