 ' ' Andrew Mac Curtin that wrote this book before us, and I 

 beseech thee ! potent God to have mercy on me at 

 the end and I implore the learned reader in the name of 

 Jesus Christ to make a prayer of intercession for my soul 

 to the Eternal Father. And if there is anything censurable in 

 what I have written through my ignorance I pray the reader 

 to excuse me and let him know that the blame is to mc and 

 not to the learned authors who compiled and wrote these 

 books."
