PROPOSALS For Printing a Third Edition of a Book Intituled Ludovici Le Blanc Theses Theologicae. With considerable Additions.

WHereas Moses Pitt, Bookseller, did in the year 1675. Print at London the Theses Theologicae of Ludovicus Le Blanc, Professor of Divinity in the University of Sedan; not only Re­printing those formerly Printed at Sedan in Quarte, and sold at extravagant Rates; but also a far greater number of New ones, which by the help of certain Eminent Divines he obtained from the Author in his own hand-writing, which Impression is now intirely sold off; and whereas since the Author's death the said Moses Pitt, by the Assistance of the same Worthy Persons hath obtained a considerable number of other Theses of the same Author, fitted by himself for the Press before his death, which he concludes will be very acceptable to the Learned World, as well from the favourable Reception of the former Editions, as from the Approbation of several Judicious and Learned Persons, who have seen the remaining Theses in the Authors M. S. S. He the said Moses Pitt, intending a New Edition of all the Theses of Ludovicus Le Blanc, of which those already Printed contain 177 Sheets, and those in M. S. S. as near as he can guess, will make 33 Sheets more, and the whole 210 Sheets. In order hereunto offers these following Proposals to all such Persons as shall be willing to Promote so Useful a Design.

I. That he the said M. Pitt undertakes that all Gentlemen who shall please to Subscribe, shall re­ceive the said Book before Lady-Day next, Printed on as good Paper, and of the same Character with the Edition 1675, at the Rate of One Penny per Sheet, paying Five Shillings in hand at the time of their Subscription, for which the said M. Pitt will give his Receipt under his Hand and Seal, together with a Promise to perfect and deliver the said Book to each Subscriber according to these Proposals, they Paying the Remainder of the Money at the Delivery of the said Book.

II. He the said M. Pitt promiseth, That if any person shall procure Six Subscriptions, and Pay him Thirty Shillings; and as soon as the Work is perfected, shall pay the Remainder of the Money, he shall have the Seventh Book Gratis.

III. Whereas several persons have already the Theses of Lud. Le Blanc Printed 1675. and 'tis the great grievance of New Editions with Inlargements, that they render former Editions invaluable, and utterly lost to such as have bought; for the Remedy hereof in this case, he the said Moses Pitt further proposeth to those that have the said Edition, that if they please to Subscribe for the Addi­tions only, and Pay Two Shillings and Six Pence before Michaelmas Day next after the Date hereof, and the Remainder on Delivery, at the Rate of One Penny a Sheet, shall receive the said Additions at the time prefixed. Given under my hand this 12 day of June, 1682.
