Minister of the Gospel 2 Pet. 1.16 We have not followed cunningly devised fables Psal 138.2 Thou hast magnified thy Word above all thy Name Col. 3.16 Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly London Printed by R. I. for Livewell Chapman and are to be sold at his shop at the Crown in Popes-head-alley 1653. TO The much Honored Gentlewoman Mris Prudence Thorold at Her House at Clapham Grace and Peace in our Lord. TRuly Honored I here present you with a few small peeces observing that smaller Tractates have been of greater use among many and still are especially such as speak Scripture to us in power and plainness The lesser peeces of Mr. Perkins viz. His grain of Muster-seed Golden Chain Government of the tongue like to Pearls even much desired and esteem'd as bearing the more lively impression of the strength and spirit of their Maker And such is that little Book which for Honors sake I mention entituled Christ set forth an entire peice worth its weight in Gold wherein the Author upon that Argument the cheif of all desirable Truths hath satisfied his Reader more abundantly even to the ful It was told me once that Aquinas being asked What if all Paris were his answered I had rather be the Author of the imperfect work of Chrysostom a small and broken Tractate Also greater Volumns have their use such as Mr. Foxes Book of Martyrs a Volumn composed for the good of England if ever any a Book that can never be out of date and I believe is of the Cabinet with most wise men for seldom any work of industry and eminency appears but savors much of the spirit and rich experience Treasured in those A●●●lles I mention this the rather because perceiving the English of this age to be under a very rich blessing of an encrease of Sacred Knowledge next unto the Sacred Scriptures the Wells of Salvation those of our Nation would come and draw here rejecting the watry Pamphlets so much abroad enfeebling mens spirits yea our choicest wits have bin most infected by them As for those thicker and grosser sort of souls amongst us I mean the prophane and ignorant multitude I am much at a loss in my thoughts for them and yet I think again had we such provision on foot as would reach them I cannot think but a good account might be given of them as there hath been of late of the like in some parts of Wales even to admiration for as I dare not entertain such a thought as if God had appointed these poor people we speak of all of them to misery so I hope in due time it will not be found impossible to rescue them out of Satans power of whom they are taken at his pleasure For when those prophecies shall be fulfilled which say That the veil shall be taken off from all hearts and the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Son Christ and the sinners of the Nations both Gentiles and Jews shall have the Spirit of Grace poured upon them and shall look upon him whom they have peirced and mourn after him in that day there shall be a Fountain opened for them to wash in even from sins of separation Truly Honored I know you are of the Bride chamber and do expect the coming of the Bridegroom as all the wise Virgins do May it therefore ever be your Care and Crown to have your Lamp trimmed and your Vessel filled I mean an abundant encrease of Heavenly Wisdom and Watchfulness so shall that day be to you as the Hinde of the Morning an early day of entrance upon an eternity of rest and refreshing Such is the desire of him that honoreth you and is your servant in our Lord H.
