Cases considered and resolved. Wherein all the tender godly conscientious ministers in England (whether for a Congregational, or a Presbyterial way) are concerned. Or pills to purge malignants. And all profane, ignorant, and scandalous persons.

Also good counsel to bad men. Or friendly advise (in several particulars) to unfriendly neighbours.

Gentlemen,
'Twas a Divine saying of Seneca, No man sets a better rate upon virtue, athen he that looseth a good Name to keep a good Conscience. He that hath a good conscience, sits Noah-like, quiet and still in the greatest combustions, and distractions (Conscientia pura semper secura) A good Conscience hath sure confidence, it makes a man as bold as a Lyon, Proverbs 28.1.
