Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Robert Sanderson, D. D, Vol. 5 of 6: Sometime Bishop of Lincoln Sir, Having perused the papers you sent me, I can safely vouch them for genuine, and not in the least spurious, by that resemblance they wear of their Reverend Author; and therefore you need not fear to bring them to the public test, and let them look the Sun in the face. It is true, their first commission was but short, and long since expired, they being designed only to visit and respectively satisfy some private friends; yet I cannot see what injury you will offer to his sacred ashes, if, by renewing that, you send them on a little further embassy for the common good. Indeed, the least remains of so matchless a Champion, so invincible an Advocate in foro Theologico, like the filings and fragments of gold, ought not to be lost; and pity the world was not worthy many more of his learned labours. But, - Praestat de Carthagine tacere quam pauca dicere, - far be it from me to pinion the wings of his fame with any rude letters of commendation, or, by way of precarious pedantry, to court any man into a belief of his worth, since that were to attempt Iliads after Homer, and spoil a piece done already to the life by his own pencil, the works whereof do sufficiently praise him in the gates. All I aim at is, to commend and promote your pious intention to give the world security, by making these Papers public, that they shall never hereafter stand in need of any other hand to snatch them out of the fire, a doom, you say, once written upon them. Nor do I less approve your ingenious prudence in determining to prefix no Name, it being as laudable not to speak all the truth sometimes, as to forbear telling a lie for advantage.
