6. The sixth & last thing which ought to be enquired after, is, how a man ⟨p. 11⟩thus fitted to live the life of God, may also be cured of the fear of death; and to this end I have published that Treatise of the Cure of the fear of Death: which shows plain and comfortable ways, how any Christian may deliver his heart from those fears.

I suppose that no man1 that readeth this, will conceive, that any of these are needless. And as I would advise such Christians as abound with ability and leisure, to furnish themselves with the labours of such worthy Divines, as have written of any of these subjects: ⟨p. 12⟩so unto such Christians as have not that ability or leisure, I commend these Treatises, both for their brevity, & the distinct digesting of the things he would seek after; there being nothing of mine in these, but the labour of disposing them, the main substance of them being Gods own Word, and things devised and invented by God himself. I may lawfully commend the care and study of these things unto thee, and that with so much authority from the Lord, as to tell thee, that thou mayest not ⟨p. 13⟩safely be negligent in any of these, if thou consider the worth of them, or thy own need.
