TO THE HONOURABLE THE House of Commons ASSEMBLED IN PARLIAMENT.
AS your Order for my Preaching, persuaded me you meant attentively to hear; so your Order for my publishing this Sermon, persuaded me that you will vouchsafe ⟨image 3⟩considerately to read it. (For you would not command me to publish only for others, that which was prepared for, and suited to your selves.) Which second favour if I may obtain, especially of those that need most to hear the doctrine of Repentance, I shall hope that the Authority of the heavenly Majesty, the great concernment of the subject, and the evidence of Reason, and piercing beams of sacred verity, may yet make a deeper impression on your souls, and promote that necessary work of Holiness, the fruits whereof would be effectual remedies to these diseased Nations, and would conduce to your own everlasting joy. Shall I think it were presumption for me to hope for so high a reward for so short a labour? Or
