The Bookseller's Advertisement.

THE Four Last Things, Death and Judgment, Heaven and Hell, are Subjects of that great Importance, and so nearly concerns all Persons, that serious Discourses published upon them, deserve the Reader's best Attention and Application. And that they may be of more diffusive and general Benefit, it will be a proper Means, that (according to the Examples of some pious Persons) Books treating of those solemn Arguments BE GIVEN AT FUNERALS, AS A FUNERAL-LEGACY: When according to the observation of the wise Preacher, The Living lay to Heart their own Frailty, and are more receptive of Holy Counsels to prepare for their great Change from Time to Eternity, and would affect their Minds with the present Instance of Mortality, much better than Wine, Sweetmeats, Gloves or Rings, or unprofitable Talk, as is too usual at such Solemnities.
