The controversial treatises written in England, about the time of theReformation, have been diligently collected, with a multitude ofremarkable tracts, single sermons, and small treatises; which, howeverworthy to be preserved, are, perhaps, to be found in no other place.
The regard which was always paid, by the collectors of this library, tothat remarkable period of time, in which the art of printing wasinvented, determined them to accumulate the ancient impressions of thefathers of the church;
... to which the later editions are added, lestantiquity should have seemed more worthy of esteem than accuracy.
History has been considered with the regard due to that study by whichthe manners are most easily formed, and from which the most efficaciousinstruction is received; nor will the most extensive curiosity fail ofgratification in this library, from which no writers have been excluded, that relate either the religious, or civil affairs of any nation.
Not only those authors of ecclesiastical history have been procured, that treat of the state of religion in general, or deliver accounts ofsects or nations, but those, likewise, who have confined themselves toparticular orders of men in every church; who have related the original, and the rules of every society, or recounted the lives of its founderand its members; those who have deduced in every country the successionof bishops, and those who have employed their abilities in celebratingthe piety of particular saints, or martyrs, or monks, or nuns.
