TO MY WORTHY FRIENDS, The well Affected Inhabitants of the Towne of Great Yarmouth.
Much eſteemed in the Lord,
WHat you lately received from the Pulpit, take here from the Preſſe, that what was then Tranſient in the Eare, may be now Permanent to the Eye. Weake bodies which are ſubject to Heart-tremblings and faintings, uſe to have their Cordials, or Strong-waters by them. To like purpoſe ſerveth this Extract, intended for an Aqua Coeleſtis, for the fortifying of your Spirits (in theſe times of Common Danger) againſt what ever feares or dangers you may happily encounter with. If you ſhall have neede, make uſe of it; otherwiſe let it remaine by you; I dare aſſure you, it will be no ill store. However, I ſhall leave it with you, and reſt
Your ſervant in our Lord Iohn Brinſley.
IT is Ordered by the Committee of the Houſe of Commons in Parliament concerning Printing, the ſeventh day of January, 1642 That this Booke Intituled A parley with the Sword about a ceſſation, be Printed.
