TO THE READER.
Reader,
WHEN I had Written the first of these Discourses, I came after to know more of the Authors Judgment, by another Book against me; which I also Answered, but it lieth by unprinted. I also wrote, for the use of some private Friends, my Reasons for Communion with those Parish Churches who have Capable Ministers, which many Importuned me to Print; but that also is yet undone: But a Book famed to be Mr. Raphson's coming out, I thought it my duty to Animadvert on that, and to bear my Testimony against Schism on both Extremes, left I be guilty of Partiality, and of the Sin and suffering of many that may be deceived by them. If these Two be not overmuch discouraged, the other Two against both the Extremes may come hereafter.
