Extract

THE short notice I had of the Honour designed me on this Occasion, together with the Misfortune of a Mind weakened and impaired by a long Infirmity of Body, might in reason have excused me from the Task I am now undertaking: But when I consider the Oath ye have taken, to present all such Matters as shall be given ye in Charge; it seems to me to imply an Obligation on the Court to give ye matters in Charge: and therefore I shall endeavour to [6] acquit my self of that Duty in the best manner that, under such disadvantages, I am able: And that ye may the better retain what I deliver, will (by way of Method) reduced the Matters which I shall recommend to your Enquiry, to three heads.
