as follows:--
This Book belongs to
The New-England-Library,
Begun to be collected by Thomas Prince, upon

1703; and was given by
On the lower part of a blank space which follows the word "by" is
written:--
_It now belongs to the Bishop of London's Library at Fulham._
There are evidences that this leaf did not belong to the original book,
but was inserted by Mr. Prince.
At the top of the first page of the next leaf, which was evidently one
of the original leaves of the book, is written in Samuel Bradford's
hand, "march 20 Samuel Bradford;" and just below there appears, in
Thomas Prince's handwriting, the following:--
But major Bradford tells me & assures me that He only lent this Book
of his Grandfather's to Mr. Sewall & that it being of his
Grandfather's own hand writing He had so high a value of it that he
would never Part with ye Property, but would lend it to me & desired
me to get it, which I did, & write down this that sd Major Bradford
and his Heirs may be known to be the right owners.
