Reader I shall detain thee but a little longer in the porch, only to give thee a brief account of this ensuing tractate; Though I confess I never liked large Apologies for any publications; for if mens books are like to ⟨image 29⟩be serviceable to the honour of the infinite God, and the welfare of the souls of men, • small a Apology will serve; if they are •ot, why do they trouble the world •ith them? It is not all the image and •uperscription, which their excuses can •amp on them, shall ever make them currant coin with me. I was called to •each a Sermon at Borden in Kent, Octob. 7. 1658. at the Funeral of a grave Re•gious Gentlewoman (one that (as I am formed) was a tender mother of her •ildren, and a dutiful daughter to the •ther of Spirits) Mistress Beresford, wi•w of Master Michael Beresford, a learn• painful godly Minister of the Lord Je• Christ, who had a good report of • men (that feared God and knew •) and of the truth it self; He was •nister of the abovenamed Parish above untie years.
