SIR,
Your pious life, in fearing God, eschewing evil, and doing good; hath ever been a lively Character to regulate my life by, and hath emboldened me to present and dedicate to your grave Patronage, and courteous acceptance, this Abstract taken out of a Commentary of Doctor MARTIN LUTHER upon the Galatians, a Copy whereof I sent you a year since in writing, and now have published the same in Print, for the benefit of my friends and acquaintance, and all zealous, religious servants of the Lord; It containing in a few leaves, most excellent matter of saving Faith, which is, ⟨image 3⟩the Sum of Mans Salvation; […]ely revealed, and set forth unto us, […] the Old, and New Testament; which whosoever duly considers, (unless stu[…]jed with supine carelessness, and bewitched with the vain pleasures & va[…]ties of this world) will utterly despise, […]d contemn all earthly and transitory […]ings, and continually (being overcome […]ith a divine rapture) meditate and con[…]mplate upon eternal blessedness; The •yes whereof, are more then ever eye •ath seen, the ear heard, or the heart of •an can conceive; Witness St. Paul,
