Y Historical Preface, especially, as now

including both the University's and

Convocation's Proceedings, is so full and particular, that it prevents the Neceflity of any other long Preliminary Discourse in this place. I shall therefore be as brief as possible ; and rather call this an Advertisement, than a Preface to the Reader ; Who is here to observe, that I have been oblig'd to make some Alterations in this Design since it was first propos'd; tho' not at all to his disadvantage, either as Purchaser or Reader. Thus I have not publish'd the Arabick Didascaly as I formerly intended since it proves to be not the Genuine Doctrine of the Apostles , as I once hoped, but a partial and spurious Edition of the redonixa di decoraría, or former Six Books of the Constitutions,and to be generally taken from them verbatim ; so that there was no necessity of repeating it. Yet is its Preface, which seems plainly to belong to the Original Doctrine of the

Apostles, exactly here ser down; and the Contents of its several Chapters also. And for a compensation I have added the Accounts of the University's and Convocation's Proceedings relating to me; as also the Apologetick of Eunomius, together with the common Edition of the sea
