THE Book I have undertaken to animadvert briefly upon, bears the Title of A Solemn Call; but I am not so much concerned with the Solemnity, as I am with the Authority of this Call. Not how it is, but whose it is. If it be the Call of God, it must be obeyed, tho it be to part not only with the Privileges, but Lives of our dearest Children; but then we had need be very well assured it is the Call of God, else we are guilty at once of the highest Folly and basest Treachery to part with so rich an Inheritance, conveyed by God's Covenant with Abraham, to us believing ⟨p. 2⟩Gentiles, and our Seed, at Mr. Cary's Call.
