To the Reader.
Reader, the body may as well subsist without the soul, as the soul can without a promise, and as the body is not wearied with bread (being the staff of life) though it hath it every day for nourishment, so likewise the fainting hungry soul can never be cloyed with feeding upon the promises: for which cause I have also adventured this little Sermon, not doubting, but it may reap it's due fruit, from those whose hearts are rightly affected, which God granting. I shall account my labour abundantly requited. Farewell.
REader, the body may as well subsist without the soule, as the soule can without a promise, and as the body is not wearied with bread (being the staffe of life) though it hath it every day for nourishment, so likewise the fainting hungry soule can never be cloyed with feeding upon the promises: for which cause I have also adventured this little Sermon, not doubting, but it may reape it's due fruit, from those whose hearts are rightly affected, which God granting. I shall account my labour abundantly requited. Farewell.
