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.

Who §Hhaving been content for some years space,1 to be taught (as seeing great need thereof) have in a few years, I may say months, outgrown their teachers, (in their own judgements) and have thought almost none of them, good and meet enough, or sufficient for them: and therefore some of them have given themselves (as they say) to grow by their private reading, when they might have been taught also in the public assembly: which some of them refuse to do, especially by the ministry of such as they are exasperated against: and so, for the serving of their own cankered humour, they sin against God in breaking one of the greatest commandments. I give herein a taste of the rest of their qualities of like sort: Is this behaviour seeming §IChristians?
