TO THE REVEREND and Right VVorſhipfull Doctor KINGS LEY, Archdeacon of CANTERBVRY my louing friend; ROBERT ABBOTT wiſheth all increaſes of faithfulneſſe in Gods Church heere, and glory hereafter through Ieſus CHRIST.
Right Worſhipfull and Reuerend,
WHat you thankfully and louingly accepted when it was preached, commeth, you ſee, in another forme; crauing a ſecond veiw. Though what I intended could not all be ſpoken in the allotted time, yet may it all be ſeene. If you thinke it may be vſefull in this ſecure age for any of the Cleargy vnderunder you, your countenancing of it may incourage others to reade it. I doubt nothing of your louelove either to mee, or mine, much leſſe to the common good. This poore Sermon will (I hope) be found to ayme at good, becauſe at God, and againſt Antichriſt. It is true, it might hauehave beene the worke of farre more able, but not more willing. Therefore as ſuch a worke it is tendred vntounto you, from him who deſires to continue to God a faithfull ſouldier againſt the Pope of Rome, and to your worſhip
A poore friend and fellow-helper in the worke of Chriſt Ieſus, ROBERT ABBOT.
