To the Right Honourable ANNE, and ELIZABETH, DOWAGER-COVNTESSES OF ROCHESTER.
Right Honorable,
YOur Ladiships, or any else, cannot think meaner of this Performance than I my self do; for besides the great hurry and disor∣der that I was in upon the loss of such a Patron us my Lord, I am sufficiently conscious how unfit I am to appear in public, especially upon such a nice and great Subject. As his Lordships particular Commands brought me to the Pulpit, so Yours only have brought me to the Press. And therefore I hope, whatever usage the following Discourse may meet with abroad; I shall always find a shelter in your Ladiships Favours: and the rather, because you can, both of you, largely attest the truth of most of the remarkable Occurrences that I have taken notice of during his Lordships Penitential sickness.

I shall adde nothing more, but wish You may never forget the goodness of Almighty God, who (through this whole melancholy Scene) has signalized his good Providences to You both: and that You may ever live under the special protection thereof, is the constant prayer of
Your HONORS Most Faithful and most obedient humble Servant, ROBERT PARSONS.
Adderbury, Aug. 30. 1680.
