Godly learned men do write and publish books, to profit the age in which they do live, and the posterity. This desire was in the Author of this treatise, Master John Bradford, who was the Prea•er and publisher of this Sermon of Repentance. •nd now, to the end that we, which do live on earth •ter him, and are the posterity, may take as much or •ore profit by it, then they did, to and for whom in •s life time he did both preach & publish it, the same […] labour is by new Imprinting published again. •othing is added to this Sermon, or altered in it: •ely to the Sermon of Repentance before printed, •dded another Sermon of the Lords supper, which • also made, & was never printed before. And aptly •lt thou see (good Reader) these two Sermons joy• together. For in diligent perusing of the last, •u shalt see how necessarily he draweth the do•ne of Repentance to them all, which do with due apparition receive the holy Sacrament of Christ. •e not know which of the Sermons I should most •se: I wish, that by reading both, thou mayest make • great profit. In both these Sermons, thou shalt e Bradford preaching Repentance with his e pen.
