Terræ-filius: or, the Secret History of the University of Oxford/Advertisement

WHereas I have frequently declared, according to the full intention of my heart, that I should be always ready to correct any mistakes, which I have inadvertently fallen into, through the course of these papers, I think my self obliged to acknowledge, that I have received intelligence from a gentleman, whose veracity I can never distrust, that I gave too much credit to a letter dated from Wadham college, concerning the publick lecturers at Oxford, there being two or three of those gentlemen, besides those whom I have mentioned, who ought to be excepted out of the general censure. As I received this information too late to make these exceptions in their proper places, I must desire the reader to accept of this general acknowledgement and apology, together with my promise, that if the publick continue their favour so far as to bring these sheets to a third impression, I will not only correct those mistakes, but all others, of which I shall be duly appriz'd; it being my determined resolution not to persist in any known errors, but to pare away every thing of that nature, and reduce these volumes to a series of the most incontestable Truths.
