The Epistle to the READER.
READER,
PErhaps the Title may In∣vite thy Eye, though the meannesse of the Comment may not merit thy Perusal. They are indeed the ex∣periments of but a very young pen, though the subjects are so divine, they would finde worke enough for the Gra∣vest in that Profession. And they have so little of any affected or elaborate Cu∣riosity, that I need not tell thee, They are onely the sudden effusions of a few pious minutes in my vacancies from o∣ther studies. And who can Imploy his thoughts better at any time?
And therefore I took no other pains than not to breathe them to the Ayre onely, but some Noble Conser∣vator

that might recal my thoughts; and put me in mind againe of That which so equally concernes all Eter∣nity.
If you wonder at their hasty ambi∣tion of being in Print. It was not in∣deed the Request of Friends, or any such thred-bare motive, that stole them out. I knew not well what else to do with them, and therefore thought it as good to let them be lost in the World as in my Trunck: And though I am not so confident, as to think they are so good as to merit thy Applause; yet I hope they are not so bad, but they may be worth the Reading.
Farewell.
