These Letters are to you in behalf of the poor Flocks, like the man of Macedonia †crying to you, Come and help us: or, a Call to *Archippus, to take heed to the Ministry that he hath received, that he fulfil it.

Fathers and Brethren, we unfeignedly reverence you, we magnify the grace of God in and unto you. Did not we reverence your Parts, Gifts and Graces, and esteem them every way so useful to the Churches, we should contentedly see you sit still, and never be at the pains to excite you. But our high value of you, hath made us humbly bold to expostulate the case a little with you, and passionately to beseech you, to remember how great a work it is that lies upon you, and to set your hands to it in this time of difficulty.
