TO THE WORSHIPFVLL AND REVEREND, Mr. Dr. HALL, DEANE OF WORCESTER, my worthie and much reſpected Friend, all happineſſe, with my louelove in CHRIST IESVS.
REuerend Sir; this Sermon, I know, is at the Preſſe before you expected: But I thought (as this glorious Chapell occaſioned it, ſo) it might miniſter occaſion of perpetuall remembrance of the Chapell, by remaining its firſt Monument. And altho both theſe were confined to the priuate; the Chapell for the Family of my Right Honorable Lord the Earle of Exceter, who hath giuen the materiall thereof ſufficient luſter: and the Copie of the Sermon to the Cabinet of my truly Noble, and vertuous Lady, his Counteſſe; yet both theſe are much and oft required to the publike; the Sermon to be an inſtruction, and ſo it is; the Chapell, to be an example, and ſo it may be. The Sermon to teach all, to be all glorious in their ſoules. The Chapell to teach ſome, who build houſes for their owne habitation, to ſet vp another for Gods Religion. The Sermon was craued at the hands of my Honourable Ladie, that it might come to the Preſſe; who, of her owne pious diſpoſition, gaue forth the Copie, and for her Noble eſteeme of your ſelfe, and of the worth of your ſermon, was willing and deſirous to giuegive it way to the Printer. And this I thought good to impart vntounto you, and to the courteous Reader, that you may be ſatisfied of the meanes how, and the cauſe why it comes in publike. And ſo praying for you, and deſiring your prayers for me, I remaine
Your truly louing Friend, H. BAGVLEY.
