Présentation de l'éditeur
Stack Annex 5OX I TO THE READER. Tins was advertised as a shilling pamphlet, and I wish I could as easily have kept down the size as the price. It has been written with painful feelings, at sundry times, and under unfavourable circumstances. But I may say, with one of our elder writers, that An innocent man needs no eloquence: his innocence is instead of it; else I had never come off from these precipices whither mens malice hath pursued me. It is true I have been accused, and by great ones; but it happened my accusers had not thought of the accusation with themselves, and so were driven, for want of crimes, to use invention, which was found slander ;or, too late, being entered so far, to seek starting-holes for their own rashness, which were not given them. And then they may think what accusation that was like to prove, when they that were the engineers feared to be the authors. Nor were they content to feign things against me, but to urge things feigned by the ignorant; which, though, from their hired and mercenary impudence, I might have passed by, yet I durst not leave myself undefended, having a pair of ears unskilful to hear lies, or have those things said of me, which I could truly prove of them.
