Wicked rich men have their good things here, some kind of Portion in this life, and their evil things are chiefly reserved until hereafter; But you which are Poor have little portion of good things in this life, and if you do not obtain salvation, you will have no good things reserved for you in the other World, nothing but treasures of wrath according to your treasures of sin; and so besides the miseries you undergo here, you will be miserable hereafter, and miserable for ever. My hearts desire and prayer for you is, That you may be saved; therefore have I written these things. You have this little Book freely given unto you by some Worthy Persons, who hope for a fuller reward than the price of any Books can amount unto; especially if this Book be made use of by the Lord as a means for the conversion and salvation of any of your souls, their reward will be the greater that have been instrumental herein; therefore accept of this Gift, read it in your Families, or get it read to you where you cannot read your selves. But chiefly accept of the Salvation this Book speaketh of, which, however dearly purchased by the blood of Christ, is freely tendered unto you. Salvation is a Gift, and the greatest, most excellent, and most necessary Gift; to move and guide you in the obtaining of which, is the design of these sheets; which that they may be successful, is the Prayer of a dear Lover of, and Well-wisher to the Poor.
