Lecteur, j'ai réimprimé ce petit livre environ deux ans depuis June24, 1664], et le nombre imprimé actuellement en vente dans quelques jours tout à l'écart, j'ai eu l'intention de l'avoir imprimé à nouveau ; mais le grand jugement de cette terrible peste, 1665, a entravé l'impression de lui : Et c'est après-pupilles installées pour la presse, le feu terrible a brûlé cette copie {eaition^avec de nombreux milliers de livres otlier brûlé avec elle.

An English garner; ingatherings from our history and literature . 667. Reader, I reprinted this little book about two years since June24, 1664], and the number printed presently selling in a few days all away, I intended suddenly to have printed it again ; but the great judgement ofthat fearful Plague, 1665, hindered the printing of it : and it being after-wards fitted for the press, the late dreadful Fire burnt that copy {eaition^with many thousands of otlier books burnt with it.

For my part, I believe neither ! especially the merchant.For, in the time of Solomon, silver was as plentiful in Jeru-salem as stones in the street: but with us, stones are in farmore abundance, when, in every street in London, you maywalk over five thousand loads, ere you will find a single Penny.Again, the general complaint and murmur throughout theKingdom, of the scarcity and want of money, argues that wefall fa
