Courteous Reader,
IF the Margent of th•• Sermon seem to be ••∣ver-laden with Quotation let it be considered, that th•• former part of it relates matter of Fact, and ther••∣fore naturally leads me vouch it by Historical T••∣stimonies. And as for th•• latter Part, it touches u•• on a Point, wherein div••
are diversly minded, each standing upon their own Way and Mode of Expres∣sion. And therefore living in a very tetchy and cap∣tious Age, wherein clamours are raised, and exceptions soon taken, right or wrong, I thought it fit and neces∣sary for prevention, to for∣tifie what I have deliver∣ed, first with the Authori∣ties of Scripture, and the sense of Antiquity: and se∣condly, with the consent of the Homilies; and la∣stly, with the concurrent Suffrages of our Modern and Protestant Divines, both here and beyond Sea. This (I presume in all reason) may and will suffice, for
the satisfying of sober, and well-minded Persons; and as for such as are other wise, I shall not much trou∣ble my self.
Farewell.
