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.

1And thus are Gods servants only delivered out of their troubles: the ungodly have no part with them in this fellowship. And yet I do not say, that even they are always thus affected and furnished with this grace, always to believe and look for it,2 as oft as God delivereth them out of any dangers and troubles (that is it indeed which they should daily aim at:) and yet they can have no sound comfort to their hearts more then other men have, unless they do thus wait upon God by sound hope, and seek to him in their §Knecessities and distresses after this manner; but have only outward help and succour, or an end of their troubles, as the wicked may have; little considering from whence they come, or whether they have them in Gods favour or displeasure.
