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.

All serious practical Books are proper for this Design, which may be of any Price or Bigness: And if Bound in Black, with a Cypher of Mortality, will be very decent: And some Memorables of the Life of the Deceased (if desired) may be printed on a Leaf, or more, and bound with it. Several Books so bound, may be seen at the Three Pigeons against the Royal Exchange in Cornhill.
