He was no sooner gone from us, but some respecting gain, and not regarding godliness, attempted forthwith to publish some fragments of his works, to the grief (that I say no more) of many loving friends, which have long desired and expected the impression of all his works. And here could I wish all the godly learned were of *M. Francis Junius judgement, for he (to escape these hucksters handling) endeavours wisely in his life time to prevent such a mischief. ⟨image 6⟩For this cause M. D. Crook, (a reverend man for his learning and labour in the Church, well deserving of Gods people) for the great love he bare him, and desiring the good of many, perused and corrected some part of these works, intending to review the whole. Now the Lord hath taken him also from us, and given him rest; I have endeavoured what I could to look over the rest of all these works; and here I offer and recommend them to the Church of God, in the best manner that I can, after some labour and weariness. I wanted not the help of divers both godly and learned friends, we have conferred sundry copies together, and by good conference revised and corrected all.
