THE PREFACE.
Know Christian Reader, that this Remainder of Doctor Prestons works was never (heretofore) extant, being the last of His, that are likely to see the light (taken by the same pen that his other works were and no way inferior to those already published. Dr. Sibbs of eminent memory (contemporary with Dr. Preston, and one of those to whom he committed the publishing of what should be thought fit for public view) did in his life time ⟨image 3⟩own these Treatises by affixing his approbation to them. And the Attestation of such Reverend authority forbids any doubt concerning the Author, or worth of the work, though this Treatise may inherit Orphans usage, being not so exactly polished, as it would have been, had the Author lived.
