The Preface.
REader, take these few lines into thy Consideration, and although it is brief and plain, it may prove usefull, through the blessing of God, and if it be a means to cool thy fiery zeal, in a way of un∣advised contention, you will have no cause of repen∣ting of thy change. Take it as it is, for with much affection to thy peace have I done it. And do not blame me for brevity or plainess, for it is a sudden work, not thought on many hours before it was done. My sense of the danger since I came into the City hath drawn this from me, the Lord make it useful to the quieting of the minds of his People, so will God have the Glory, and they the comfort, and I have my end. Farewel.
