Theol. Surely I would wish you to be diligent in hearing of Sermons, and reading the Scriptures, with prayer and humility. Also that you would peruse Catechisms, and other good books, and especially Virels grounds of Religion, and the works, of the two worthy servants of God, Master Giffard, and Master Perkins; and other mens, that have done great service to the Church, and for whom thousands are bound to give God thanks.
