Seven sermons on several select subjects preached

Christian Reader,

'Twere a Presumption in me, to offer to launch out upon the Praises of the Worthy Preacher of them, as if he ⟨image 3⟩needed Encomiums from such as I am, to recommend his Works to the World; since his Name is so savoury among all those, that either heard him Preach, read his Writings, or were acquainted with his Exemplary Life and Conversation (he having with that great Apostle taken sufficient care, that while he Preached to others he might not be a cast away himself) that 'twill be sufficient to recommend them to the perusal of all serious Christians that they are his. Those that are only for a quaint polite Discourse, may suit themselves where they think best; but such as are for the plain Truths of the Gospel, and desire to drink in the sincere Milk of the Word of God may find great profit by this Book.
