Christian Reader,
IT is now six yeares past, since I was brought under an en∣gagement of promise for the publishing of some meditati∣ons on the subject which thou wilt find handled in the en∣suing Treatise. The Reasons of this delay, being not of publicke concernment, I shall not need to mention. Those who have been in expectation of this duty from me, have for the most part been so farre acquainted with my condi∣tion and employments, as to be able to satisfy themselves, as to the deferring of their desires. That which I have to adde at present is only this; having had many opportunity's, since the time I first delivered any thing in pulicke on this Subject, (which was the meanes of bringing me under the engagements men∣tioned) to reassume the consideration of what I had

first fixed on, I have been inabled to give it that improve∣ment, and to make those additions to the main of the designe and matter treated on, that my first debt, it come at length to be only the occasion of what is now tendred to the Saints of God. I shall speak nothing of the subject here handled; it may I hope speak for it selfe, in that spirituall savour and rellish which it will yeild to them, whose hearts are not so filled with other things, as to render the sweet things of the Gospell bitter to them. The designe of the whole Treatise, thou wilt find Christi∣an Reader, in the first Chapters of the first part: and I shall not detaine thee here with the perusall of any thing which in its proper place will offer it selfe unto thee: know only, that the whole of it hath been recommended to the Grace of God in many supplications, for its usefull∣nesse unto them that are interested in the Good things mentioned therein.
