TO THE READER.
AN Ingenious Gentleman some Moneths since in Iest-earnest advised me to make hast with my History of the Church of En∣gland, for fear (said he) lest the Church of England be ended before the History thereof.
This History is now, though late (all Church-work is slow) brought with much difficulty to an end.
And blessed be God, the Church of England is still, (and long may it be) in being, though disturb'd, distem∣pered, distracted, God help and heal her most sad condi∣tion.
The three first Books of this Volumn were for the main written in the Reign of the late King, as appeareth by the passages then proper for the Government. The other nine Books were made since Monarchy was turned into a State.
May God alone have the Glory, and the ingenuous Rea∣der the Benefit of my endeavours; which is the hearty de∣sire of
Thy Servant in Iesus Christ, THOMAS FULLER.
From my chamber in Sion Colledge.
