Seven treatises containing such direction as is gathered out of the Holy Scriptures, leading and guiding to true happiness, both in this life, and in the life to come: and may be called the practise of Christianity. Profitable for all such as heartily desire the same: in the which, more particularly true Christians may learn how to lead a godly and comfortable life every day. Penned by Richard Rogers, preacher of the word of God at Wethersfield in Essex.Seuen treatises containing such direction as is gathered out of the Holie Scriptures, leading and guiding to true happines, both in this life, and in the life to come: and may be called the practise of Christianitie.

1Of the first sort I set down especially three: (for I do not undertake to mention all particulars, which were infinite) the rest will be discerned more easily ⟨p. 427⟩§Aby these. The first is,2 when the Devil holdeth us out of a settled course in godliness which all the godly ought to live in daily, though he cannot break it off altogether. The second is the want of our first love,3 though we hold and keep some course in godliness more then many do. The third is,4 want of a sufficient ministry, though we be troubled with neither of the two former.
