I am willing to perfwade my Self, that the World will treat this Labour of Love with the fame Candor, with which I wrote it. And I defire only, that the Great and Important Truths, contain'd therein, may not be believ'd upon my bare Affertion, but that the Collection of venerable Authorities, by which they are fupported, may be throughly Sifted, Examin'd, and well Weigh'd; and I humbly hope then, that our Good and Gracious God will direct their Influence, and give a Bleffing in the Efficacy of them, to the lafting Peace, and Unity, and Profperity of this Church and Nation.
