TO THE READER,
The scope and business of this Epistle, is not so much to commend the Workman, (whose name is a sweet savour in the Church,) As to give thee a short and summary view of the generals handled in this Treatise Though much might be said of this eminent Saint, If either detraction had fastened her venomous nails in his precious name, or the testimony of the Subscribers of this Epistle, might give the Book a freer admission into thy hands. This only we shall crave leave to mind the ⟨image 3⟩Reader of, That this bright Star, who sometimes with his light refreshed the souls of many of Gods people, while he s•one in the horizon of our Church, set (as we may say) between the evening of many shadows, and the morning of a bright hoped for Reformation, which though it be for the present overcast, yet (being so agreeable to the mind of Jesus Christ, and ushered in with the groans and prayers of so many of his Saints) we doubt not, but will in Gods own time break forth gloriously to the dissipating of those Clouds and fogs which at the present do eclipse and darken it.
