THE Preface.
A Proposal was made to me, by some friends, for publishing of these Papers; which I cannot doubt, proceeded from Charity, both to the Reader, whose good they intended in it; and to the Author, that they could think so slender a performance was ⟨image 3⟩capable of serving it.
I cannot, indeed, think it unseasonable, to take any occasion of recommending Charity, tho' this subject led me only to consider one single instance of it. But if the practice of it, in this one, would redress so great an evil, what might we not expect from its universal exercise, in all cases upon which it might have influence?
