Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Answer to Dr. Edmund Calamy's Letter to Mr. Archdeacon Echard, Upon Occasion of His History of England: Wherein the Truths Deliver'd by That Author Are Defended, Loyalty and the Church of England Vindicated, Several Persons Fairly Represented, and a Number of Wilful Mistakes Rectified
I readily grant 'twould be unjupt to charge you with Brevity, becaufe nothing could have made your Letter more acceptable to the great at Part of the Nation, than the cutting of? Nine Parts in ten of'it. I own your Pamphlet to have P 3. Many Conceits borrow'd from Others of'the Brethren who have gone before you: But this Confideration, infiead of difcouraging the ma king Remarks, rather renders it the more needs ful. The Reputation you have gotten among the Friends of the Good old'cauje, by holding forth, and other Performances, the great Name of your Grandfather, which you make ufe of, and the great Encouragements you daily receive from the Godly Party, tho' not notify'd in the Publick News Papers, are luch Advantages in order to a general Reception among luch Sort: of People, that apprehending ill Impre?ions might be made by your Mifreprefentations, I thought there was Reafon to fear, that if no No tice was taken of them, they would feem to have a Publick Sanction, and be propagated to Polte rity with a Shew of Authority.
