Courteous Reader,
ONE Reason which moved me to write and Print this little Book, was, Because, tho' there are many excellent Heart-affecting Discourses in the World, that tend to convert the Sinner: yet I had a Desire to my this simple Method of mine; Wherefore I make bold thus to invite and encourage the Worst to come to Christ for Life.

I have been Vile myself, but have obtained Mercy, and I would have my Companions in Sin partake of Mercy too, & therefore I have writ this BOOK.
The Nation doth swarm with vile Ones now, as ever it did since it was a Nation. My Book in some places can scarce go from House to House, but twill find a suitable Subject to spread it self upon. Now since Christ Jesus is willing to save the vilest, why ould they not by Name be somewhat acquainted with it, and bid come to him under that Name?
