Excerpt from The Whole Works, Most Rev. James Ussher, D.D, Vol. 16 of 17: Lord Archbishop of Armagh, and Primate of All Ireland Now for the First Time Collected, With a Life of the Author, and an Account of His Writings Dominationi tuae, reverendissime in Christo pater, in veteribus ab ipsis cunabulis exercitatissimaa, Bibliorum Hebraicorum adversus Morini Samaritanismum defensi Onem hanc pro mea parte inscribere visum est. Cui enim potins quam tibi episcopo catholico et orthodoxo Morini pseudo-catholici, qui nos oves Christi e pascuis virentibus arcere conatus est, technas retectas dedicarem? Gratulor sane et ex animo gratulor Hiberniae tuae, cui tantum prae sulem tam insigniter eruditum, piumque Deus et rex con cesserez et gratulationis testimonium solenne inscriptio nem hanc extarc volui. Peculiarem insuper dominationi vestrae gratiam debet hoc opus, cujus sumptibus et cura exemplar Samaritanum nobis in Anglia primo communica tum fuit; et in bibliotheca Cottoniana, in doctorum seculis etiam futuris commodum, reconditum. Ex illo enim co dice habuimus discrepantes Samaritani textus ab Hebraica veritate lectiones quarum quanta fuerit utilitas, ac prope modum necessitas ad rabiem Morini plene retundendam.
