English (original)
[I have] seen the fallacy of the new sects and trust ere long I shall be united in the original and apostolick church which suffers no change or variation. I trust no man will attribute my motives solely to my love for antient architecture for although I will allow the change has been brought about in me owing to my studies of antient art yet I have still higher reasons.
