TO THE RIGHT HONOVRABLE EDVVARD, Viscount MANDEVILL and his LADY ANNE, his Pious Consort, increase of GRACE.
Right Honourable,
A Pious Christian whilst upon earth, takes his time to do his task, he is or would be, all in grace, and all to duty; well knowing that the time is short, the work great, the wages sure; and that the best improvement of parts and talents will bring ⟨image 3⟩in the master the greatest advantage, and himself the present and most lasting comforts: This is the fruit of a well led life, to advance God in glory and a Christian in comfort: such as serve God in fulfilling his will must to heaven, carry their graces with them, enter into their masters joy, & if they be eminent in profession or public in place, leave behind them their example, or some other monument to the world of their fidelity in their places; happy such servants that can thus employ their times and improve their talents: This was the endeavour of that shining, and burning lamp D. Sibbs the author of this work which I now make bold to present unto your Honours; such holy and useful truths were delivered by him in his life ⟨image 3⟩
