A LETTER Written by Dr. RIDLEY, being his last Farewel, to all his true and faithful Friends in GOD, with a sharp Admonition withal to the Papists.
AT the name of Jesus let every knee bow, both of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth, and let every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is the lord, unto the glory of God the Father. Amen.
AS a man intending to take a far journey, and to depart from his familiar friends, commonly and naturally hath a desire to bid his friends farewell before his departure; so likewise now I, looking daily when I should be called to depart hence from you, (O all you my dearly beloved brethren and sisters in our Saviour Christ that dwell here in this world) having a like mind towards you all, to bid you all, my dear brethren and sisters (I say in Christ) that dwell upon the earth, after such manner as I can, Farewell.
