So that if I may know wherein to doe you good beyonde that which is done already assure your selfe of this that according to my poore power I wil not faile you And hereunto I will willingly bee led not onely in regarde of worldly kindnesses and curtesies receiued lately and liberally from you for al the which I rest greatly indebted but especially for the holy bond of our christian profession whereinto as we haue through Gods goodnesse made some entrie and in some sort well begun So I hope we shall holde on therein and neuer bee wearie vntill wee come to the ende of our faith and hope euen the saluation of our soules And because I haue no better way yet to testifie my loue vnfaigned then either by writing or speaking therefore though not as I would yet as I coulde by reason of my manifolde infirmities and sicknesses I haue diligently laboured to offer vnto your Christian and curteous acceptations a few holy rules and briefe obseruations for the godly and well gouering of your seuerall families by Catechising them and ioyning in faithfull prayers to Almightie God with them The matter it selfe is collected out of the sacred welspring of Gods holy word and reduced into as short an epitome as possiblie I could for memories sake I haue not taken this paines as one that would perswade you to accept of this direction and none other knowing right well that there are farre better set foorth by more learned and godly Ministers or for that I would tye you to one speciall forme of Prayer in your Families wheras the spirite which is in you wil in due time teach you aboundantly to craue al things at Gods hands according to your seuerall necessities But my simple and vnfained purpose herein is this that for as much as that I am better acquainted with your estate and wants then any other can be who knoweth you not and that the continuall care which I haue ouer you for your good can no better way be signified or manifested than by prouoking you to well doing I haue therefore endeauored to frame this spectacle for you to looke vpon that you hereby finding out and conceiuing the order and manner how to glorifie God by offering vp holy and continnall sacrifice of praiers and praises vnto his maiestie as also howe to occupie your selues in other exercises of pure religion before him might hereby in some conuenient time hauing learned both the matter and maner of the seruice of God wholy bend your selues to the carefull and constant practise of all holy duties vnto so mercifull a Father most to his glory and your edification and comfort And if I vnderstande that you take that in good part esteeme this little work though as a simple I confesse yet as a sound significatiō of my vnfeigned loue towards you and care to doe you good then shall I not onely thinke this labour though it be not worthy of that name well bestowed for your sakes but also to accomplish some far better thing if my poore talent will extende thereunto for your better proceeding in that good race whereinto you are entered You know the poore widowes mite was accepted of God not in regard of the gift but the mind of the giuer I hope this shall be no lesse Farwell my good brethren and the Lord Iesus be with you to confirme and inable you to euery good worke that you may be kept blamelesse vntil his glorious comming so walke in this world in his feare that we may in the conclusion of your pilgrimage ende your daies in his blessed fauour at the last liue with him for euer Amen Your assured brother in Christ yea your seruant for Christ his sake to further your saluation I.
