LONDON, Printed for R. Sare, at Greys-Inn-Gate in Holbourn. MDCXCVI.
TO THE RIGHT HONOURABLE AND Right Reverend Father in God, HENRY, Lord Biſhop of LONDON, DEAN of the CHAPEL, And one of His Majeſty's moſt Honourable Privy Council.
My moſt Honour'd Lord and Patron,
THE great Bleſſings which I enjoy under the happy Influence of your Lordſhip's Favour, oblige me with all due Humility to lay theſe Diſcourſes at your Lordſhip's Feet: not as though I can be ſo vainly arrogant, as to imagine they any ways deſerve your Peruſal or Acceptance, but purely as an Acknowledgment of your Lordſhip's Goodneſs, and an hearty, tho' poor, Expreſſion of my unfeigned Gratitude. Moſt of them have been compil'd ſince your Lordſhip vouchſaf'd to receive me under your Wings, and therefore it may be expected, that they approve themſelves in ſome meaſure worthy of ſo noble a Patronage. This (I confeſs) I have ambitiouſly endeavour'd effectually to accompliſh; But if I fall ſhort of ſo Great an Enterpriſe, I humbly hope for Pardon from your Lordſhip's Candour, which the World has ſo long and ſo deſervedly admir'd. I am,
My moſt Honoured Lord, Your Lordſhip's Moſt Humble, moſt Grateful, moſt Dutiful Servant, T. G.
TO THE READER.
'TIS the indiſpenſable Duty of every Faithful Chriſtian, to obviate (as far as he is able) the growing Diſtempers of the Age he lives in. This I have, with the greatest Sincerity, tho' not with the greateſt Abilities, attempted in the following Diſcourſes, which are deſign'd to preſerve thee, through God's Bleſſing, from thoſe dangerous Rocks ſo many poor Souls unhappily ſplit upon, viz. Schiſm, Scepticiſm, Worldly-Mindedneſs, Hereſie, Falſe Notions of God and of his Holy Covenant, and Deſpair. If my Endeavours prove ſucceſsful in any of theſe Points, I unfeignedly beſeech thee to give God the Glory, and Me thy Prayers.
Farewel.
