The Epistle Dedicatory.
To my Honoured Friends, Madam Marsh, and her Pious Son and Daughters.
AT the Motion and Desire of your (since Deceased) Father and Husband, my Worthy Friend, I did, after the Solemnization of his Funeral, deliver the following Discourse to you in Private. And in order to Common Good, I have here made it Publick. The Father of Mercies accompany it with his Blessing upon you, and all others into whose hands it shall come, that thereby Love to and Faith in Christ may be promoted, together with Holiness of Life and Comfort at Death. That you may not be unmindful of that King of Terrors at his greatest distances, nor terrified by him in his nearest approaches. I was greatly pleased to see your gracious Deportment under that Afflictive Providence, which deprived you of one so desireable, and that you were duely affected with your Loss, yet sweetly submissive to your God. Though the Cup was bitter, you did not faint nor murmur. It was indeed a Mercy that you enjoyed him so long, for he was full of Dayes, and had a flourishing old Age. And it may be a Comfort, that you shall see him again in Heaven, where you shall Eternally rejoyce together in God. That your Souls may prosper, your Graces increase, your Comforts abound, your Daies may be filled with Mercy and Duty, and your selves at last received into Glory is the Hearty Prayer of
Your Friend and Servant in our dear Lord Jesus, S. Slater. Decemb. 22, 1681.
