It is a custom to send Sermons out unto public view under the Patronage of some Noble-man or other. This Sermon hath this preeminence, That it comes forth under the Patronage, and by the commands not only of one Lord, but of a House of Lords. The Lord make it to obtain that end for which it was preached! That you (my Lords) may make Joshua's choice ⟨image 3⟩your choice. The subject matter of the Sermon is very common and ordinary. But herein I follow the example of Chrysostom, who when he was made Patriarch of Constantinople, the first Sermon that he preached before the Emperor Arcadius and the great Courtiers, was a Sermon of Repentance. This is the message that I have received (saith Chrysostom) from my Master Christ to deliver unto you. Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Haec autem non dubitabo vobis assiduè revocare in memoriam. Haec neminem reverentes neque potentes aut divites timentes ad vos loquemur. The Lord bestow this great grace of Repentance upon you, and enable you to serve God with all the ingredients mentioned in the following Sermon! Two things I would desire your Lordships always to remember.
