AN ADVERTISEMENT TO THE READER.
HERE thou haſt the Remains of the Reverend and Learned Mr. Corbet late of Chicheſter; Thoſe that knew him ſay, That he was a man endued with the wiſdom that is from above, that is firſt pure, and then peaceable, gentle, (meek, moderate,) and eaſie to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, without hypocriſie. Therefore it is conceived that any thing which he had deſigned for publick uſe, may be well accepted of, by all thoſe that deſire to follow after peace with all men, ſo far as is conſiſtent with purity. Whether the deſign of theſe Remains of his be not to vindicate the truth, and to promote purity firſt, and then peace, is left to thee to judg, after thou haſt impartially peruſed and conſidered them in the fear of God; and if in any meaſure they conduce to ſo good an end, it is hoped thou wilt be thankful to God for the benefit which the Church of Chriſt, and therein thy ſelf, mayſt receive by the uſe of them. Thou haſt them juſt as they were left under his own hand; if himſelf had lived to publiſh them, thou mighteſt poſſibly have had them better Poliſht: but it is not thought fit that any other perſon ſhould take upon him to alter any thing in them.
