To the Printer.
WHereas you requeſt mee to enlarge my ſelfe in ſome paſſages of my former Sermons touching Conſcience, againſt this new Impreſſion: I hauehave reſolued rather to adde two new Sermons of the ſame ſubiect, than to alter any thing in the old, and this I hauehave beene led vntounto vponupon theſe reaſons. First, becauſe I would hauehave you deale firmely with all men in the venting of Copies. Secondly, becauſe that labour would hauehave beene as tedious to me as this. Thirdly, becauſe I hauehave now added ſomething touching the vſe of Conſcience, which my former text would not ſo fitly beare; My requeſt vntounto you is double; firſt, that you would be carefull in obſeruing ſtops, interrogations and diſtinctions, which neglected, the ſence becomes ſometimes darke, ſometimes imperfect and none vt all, as is tobee ſeene in ſome paſſages of the Sermons on Prouerbs and Samuel. Secondly, that you will ſeuer theſe ſo from the former, as that who ſo pleaſes may hauehave them alone. Thus reſting in your care for the due publiſhing of all, I commend you and the worke to the Lords bleſſing.
Hanwell, Oct. 8. Yours, ROBERT HARRIS,
