There are many imperfect copies of Mr. Love's Sermons, which are likely to be obtruded into the world, by some who regard no other end in publishing and printing books, then their own private gain; To prevent which, we have from his own notes published these Sermons, and shall desire the Reader to ⟨image 4⟩take notice, that whatever Sermons of this Author shall be thought fit to be published, shall be attested with some of our hands, who are entrusted with his Papers, and hope none will be so injurious to the Author and others, as to presume to print any thing of Mr. Love's without the said Attestation.
