Concerning whom & his deportments, howsoever very much might justly be spoken, and be spoken justly by my self, not from others reports, but of mine own knowledge, having bin man eye witness of them, as having been familiarly and inwardly acquainted with him ever since the fourth year of his abode in the Schools of the Prophets, and shortly after the time of my first access thither; (for there was no more distance between our two standings) yet neither will the straits of time permit it, nor will it be very needful so to do; his life, and courses, and constant labour in the work of the Word, being so well known, not in this, or the neighbour places only, but through-out the whole City, wherein he constantly continued the work ⟨p. 3⟩of his Ministry by the space of well near thirty years. I will endeavour therefore to contract (what I well may) that which I shall speak of him, and hasten to those things that more nearly concern our selves.
