Now, for this work which I here present to the Reader, I am assured, that its not spurious, but the genuine ⟨image 5⟩issue of this worthy Author. Herein is handled The Doctrine of Repentance, with many moving considerations thereunto. Perhaps his plain Phrase may not suite this curious age, which is too too much given to affectation of words, Sed distinguenda sunt tempora. Those times were not used to set forth or garnish their dishes as now they are, yet, the food is wholesome, plain and profitable. And if our palates cannot relish such food, I fear there's some distemper in them, and it's our duty to pray for the removal thereof, I shall not make a Panegyric on the Treatise. The work will abundantly commend it self. Here's Evangelical Repentance, pressed home unto the Conscience, with many cogent convincing Arguments. It was then spoken in season, and it's a Doctrine that can never be pressed our of season: These are Gospel days. The Kingdom of heaven is at hand, and of all times Gospel times are peculiar times of Repentance. The Lord calls upon all ranks of men, Magistrates, Ministers, People, Repent, Repent. Various dispensations call on us to repent, some ⟨image 5⟩times God speaks in the Thunder of judgement, sometimes in the Music of mercy: Both by mercies and judgements we are called to Repentance. The last words of this holy Martyr were Repent England: And truly the words of a dying man should be much set by, Especially of a dying Saint, who bequeaths this Legacy to England in his last breath.
