Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Letters and Journals of Robert Baillie, Vol. 2 of 3: Principal of the University of Glasgow, 1637-1662 Reverend and Loving Brother, I have perused your papers, I thank God for your judgment, zeall, and paynes, which I hope shall prove verie profiteable and usefull to many; yet would I wish you to advyse whether it be expedient to publish them presentile, for two causes: One is, because much more, I heare, is latelie come to light on both sides, in Holland and England, than we have yet seen, which being perused by you will make your work more perfect: The other cause is, that it would seem good yet once again in the General Assemble to trie the estate of our Kirks, and whether such a work be necessarie; and therefore I wish you had it readie for the presie against the Assemblie; and in the mean while you may give copies, in write, to whom you think meet. This is my wonted libertie, but with submission to your owne judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
