interesting additions by the author, as will be expressed at the
time of publication, among which will be a seasonable and
friendly admonition to the people called QUAKERS.
To the P ÜBLI C.
The encouragement and reception which this pamphlet
hath already met with, and the great demand for the fame,
hath induced the publisher of the firft edition to print a new
edition unknown to the author, who expressly directed him
not to proceed therein without orders, because that large
additions would be made thereto ; wherefore the new edition,
lately advertised by the printer of the firft, is without the in
tended additions.
That which is now in the press, and which, by appointment
of the author, will be fold as above, and at such other places
as will be mentioned at the time of advertising, will, notwith
kanding the additions, be reduced to one half of the price
of the former edition, with allowance to those who take
quantities, in order to accommodate it to the abilities of
every man.
Several hundreds are already bespoke, one thousand for
