A Demand.
BEHOLD, An ESSAY which may in the Name of the Glorious GOD, Challenge a Reading from every Person into whose Hands it shall by His Holy Providence be delivered. Reader, The ESSAY comes to thee, with Terms like those which Ehud of old used unto a Greater Man; I have a Message unto thee from God. It is a Message about the most important Affair, that ever any man Living was Addressed upon. It requires a most Attentive Perusal, a most Affecting Perusal. Well Perused and Performed, it will render thee an Happy Creature: Despised Thou art beyond all Expression Miserable. 'Tis but One short Sermon; 'Tis the very Spirit, the finest Essence, of more than a Thousand Sermons. Complied withal, it attains the End of all our Sermons. Pray over it, Reader. Prosper it, Graciously, Wondrously, O Almighty Saviour!
