Many of the single Sheets & half Sheets are probably not
to be met with anywhere but in Lincoln's Inn Library
and the late Judge Blackstone's (which last is said to house
rather a compleater Collection (of Prynne's) than the first) — and
therefore are not expected to be procured. I have
omitted noting many of the more puritannical
Tracts which deserve certainly to be no object of collectn
in comparison with the many others that are esteem'd
on account of the Authors uncommon depth of Reading
in the Records, Laws, Politics & History of England
and am
Sir
Your obed: humble Serv.t
