N. D. D. his Lordships Chaplain YORK Printed by Stephen Bulkley and are to be sould by Francis Mawbarne 1669. To the Christian Reader I Am not altogether ignorant that the Life of this Reverend truely-religious and learned Prelate my dear Master Doctor Thomas Morton late Bishop of Duresme hath been Written by a Reverend Divine Dr. John Barwick by the most gracious favour of King Charles our present Soveraigne promoted first to the Deanary of Durham and after of Saint Pauls London lately defunct having been his Lordships Chaplain together with a pious Sermon thereunto annexed which he Preached at the Funeralls of the said Bishop And I much rejoyced that he had taken the pains to Publish it in Print But here I must make bold to manifest That albeit he had been his Lordships Chaplain yet was it in his devex old Age when he had been reduced to a Private Life being cast out of that plentifull Estate of the Bishoprick of Duresme to which he had been advanced by that glorious Martyr King Charles the First Whereupon I who had been his Servant and Secretary for the space of 50. years quod excurrit being quite outed of such Offices and employment as I had under his Lordship by these late woefull and destructive Times did think with my selfe that I could not better bestow some part of my still-decaying old Age then in recollecting and laying together some such memorable particulars as I had observed of his Life during my attendance on his Lordship which thing I then undertook and having finished it after my rude Stile I sent it up to his Lordship then though unwillingly sojourning in Hartfordshire for that I would attempt nothing in that kind without his liking and approbation And to his Lordship it was committed and with him left but by him the less minded for that his thoughts were upwards and Heavenly fixed And here as it seemeth Dr. Barwick who then and there attended on his Lordship as Chaplain did furnish himselfe with such passages as after he had use of in the Writing of his Life whereof he could not be better Informed And because my Narration extended not further then till about the late unhappy and miserable breach between our late most gracious and Sacred Soveraigne and that most wretched so called Parliament which fell out to His Majesties eternall Honour and their perpetuall shame I therefore consulted with a Learned and Reverend Doctor a Doctor Joseph Naylor Prebendary of Durham and Rector of Sedgfield very lately deceased who then gave attendance on his Lordship lodging in Durham-House in the Strand London being one of his Lordships Chaplains and requested him to set Pen to Paper and to Write what he had further Observed upon thi● Subject in those most difficult and funebrious times Vnto which Motion h● most willingly condescended such was the Lov● and Honour which he bor● to his late Master an● liberall Patron as wi● plainly appeare by hi● Narrative hereunto i● the end adjoyned And herewith I thought good to acquaint thee Christian Reader And so Farewell R.
