To
all
ARCH-BISHOPS
,
and
BISHOPS
,
who
are
not
a
Shame
(
to
)
or
ashamed
(
of
)
the
NAME
of
CHRIST
before
MEN
,
Grace
,
Wisdom
and
Truth
,
from
God
our
Father
,
and
from
our
Lord
Jesus
Christ
,
AMEN
.
My
Lords
,
I
Thought
to
have
Written
in
LATINE
,
that
the
Subject
(
being
CATHOLICK
,
)
it
might
not
be
confined
within
our
Cinque
Ports
;
and
because
the
LITTLE-HORN
(
having
sprung
up
in
Latine
)
it
might
be
so
rooted
out
as
it
sprang
up
.
But
,
as
I
would
not
have
my
Integrity
savour
of
the
Vanity
of
Languages
(
1
Cor.
14.1
.
—
10.
)
so
I
would
not
run
the
Gauntlet
of
my
Country-mens
Tongues
(
in
the
Apostles
Language
)
to
censure
me
of
Barbarism
(
1
Cor.
14.11
.
)
nor
yet
to
hazard
the
Censure
of
our
Saviour
,
as
if
I
shunned
the
LIGHT
of
common
People
(
John
3.19
,
20.
)
I
therefore
dip
my
Pen
in
the
IDIOM
of
our
Mother
Tongue
;
And
(
in
the
first
place
)
I
most
humbly
Salute
those
of
mine
own
Country
;
that
(
as
it
becomes
us
first
)
to
cast
the
Beam
out
of
our
own
eye
(
Mat.
7.3
,
4
,
5.
Luke
6.41
,
42.
)
to
avoid
HYPOCRISIE
,
according
to
the
Counsel
of
our
Saviour
;
So
this
Honour
of
—
Physician
heal
thy self
(
Luk.
4.23
,
24.
)
may
first
be
ascribed
to
your
Wisdom
.
To
which
Purpose
,
not
knowing
how
to
Address
my
Papers
to
your
several
PALACES
,
I
have
been
at
the
Charge
of
Printing
,
and
Distributing
them
to
Booksellers
,
that
they
may
be
conveyed
into
your
hands
;
to
wash
them
in
Innocency
from
the
little
Horn-Change
of
Times
and
Laws
.
Many
HEADS
have
passed
their
Sentence
on
the
VISIONS
of
DANIEL
,
of
whom
(
the
learned
Doctor
Moor
)
hath
given
an
impartial
Account
,
and
laid
the
CHANGE
of
Times
and
Laws
,
at
the
Doors
of
ROME
.
But
the
particulars
of
—
WHAT
Times
and
Laws
are
changed
?
And
—
WHAT
Times
and
Laws
are
come
in
their
place
?
And
—
WHEN
?
And
—
by
WHOM
?
is
left
as
a
Province
for
your
Glory
to
bring
to
LIGHT
;
which
may
(
again
)
set
ROME
on
Fire
,
either
of
Zeal
,
to
amend
what
is
amiss
;
Or
burn
to
Ashes
of
perpetual
Silence
and
Oblivion
,
all
their
Lyes
and
Changes
.
I
shall
patiently
wait
one
Moneth
,
to
observe
the
Operation
of
this
my
Service
;
which
(
if
it
prove
ineffectual
)
I
shall
not
forget
that
I
am
a
Member
of
the
Church
of
Christ
,
(
1
Cor.
12.26
.
)
and
of
the
Body
Politick
.
Much
less
shall
I
deny
my self
to
be
First
,
and
Eldest
PHYSICIAN
to
his
Majesties
Person
in
Ordinary
,
and
my
DOCTORSHIP
above
62
years
standing
:
Having
been
Physician
in
three
Kings
and
Queens
Courts
of
ENGLAND
,
besides
many
others
.
I
must
not
(
therefore
)
Palliate
the
CURE
,
but
search
it
to
the
Bottom
;
and
accordingly
having
discovered
the
CAUSE
,
prescribe
the
taking
it
away
,
that
I
may
not
be
unworthy
of
Subscribing
my self
