THE EPISTLE TO THE READER.
IN this Tract is showed the many Snares and Temptation that attend both Riches and Poverty, Youth and Old-Age; together with the chief Reason why most Men of all Ranks and Qualities, are such great strangers to True Godliness. The Legalist, and Formal Hypocrite may also here see the danger they are in. Moreover True Godliness is opened in his own primitive Internal, and External Beauty and Glory; being vindicated from all those foul Calumnies and Reproaches cast upon him in this and former Ages: With his sad Lamentation, in respect of the prevailing power of Vice Ungodliness, and that great danger he seems now to be in by Papistry and other Enemies. Also the usefulness and necessity of Consideration; and the Creatures utmost care and diligence in order to their Conversion, is clearly evinced; with the chief means, nature and excellency thereof. Together with the cause and dismal Consequences of Apostasy, &c.
