Caution.

LEast a Reader may think the for∣mer part of the proceeding Essay my owne Charecter (which if he does, God forgive him. I do) Let him know, that I publish not these Observations for such as have taken notice of them already, and farre better then myselfe, (which I beleive are multitudes) but for those that as yet have not, withall I should be glad that those whom I cannot suppose ignorant of them, would in their practise more demon∣strate it. For my owne part, I have been in the two extreames (of which Quintilian knew not whether most to blame) one while not any thing I did, but liked me highly (yet owning what ever I had for Gods free Gui••s) and afterward not any thing I did but was quite as farre from it, yet then too, not calling God illiberall. And if at the

present I am not in the mean, yet I hope I am coming neere it. I shall tell thee further (if thou wilt believe I doe it without any indirect designe) that there is nothing for which I have wrastled with God more (••nd that with prayers and teares) then for lowly and charitable spirit: and I have a good hope that for the intercession of his Son, He has not shut out my prayer.
