THis little following book had beene in the Printers hands diverse daies ere ever I purposed any nuncupation or dedication of it at all At last it came into my minde to addresse it this way and that for these causes first out of honour to your chiefe Arch-Bishop Hutton of whom for his learning and gravitie this great Encomium was publiquely given that hee was worthy to sit President in a generall Councell Secondly because I was well ascertained my book could receive no smut from you being people of whole fame for native gentlenesse innocency of manners faire deportment and for the constant and uniforme profession of Religion Thirdly for that the most of you are spread into a goodly posterity and have faire sonnes and daughters unto whom these things may bee truely usefull to ground them soundly in Religion so as neither Abundance can choake nor Indigence ever starve in them those due respects they owe to divine powers Would God parents would at last be wise and thinke it were conduceable to the hopefull setling of a child to aime at more of instruction and institution though lesse of provision Fourthly in acknowledgement of that great love sweet familiarity and continuall intercourses of Christian acquaintance which you were ever pleased to hold with mee both affecting my person and leaning to my ministery farre beyond the proportion of desert Lastly and especially for the pious memory of that worthy Knight Sir Timothy Hutton your deare Father and my most incorrupt Patron Into the mention of whom being fallen I cannot containe my pen but to his great praise I must relate one or two things of him in this very regard first that comming to settle his family at Marske and finding the Rector there to be no more but a bare reader he rested not till hee had compounded forth the present incumbent and filled the Church with a preaching Ministery And when it was empty againe by the death of that incumbent he most freely presented my selfe with out the least request made in my behalfe to him either by my selfe or any other yea hee besought mee earnestly to take it and when he signed the presentation he drew with his pen the forme of his heart betweene his name and sir-name and I can well take an accompt of my memory that the Bpp of the diocesse when he gave institution asserted vehemently that I had the best and most upright Patron living This I say not onely for his honour but also for the just defamation both of such Patrons sonnes of the earth whosoever they be as thinke heaven and earth would faile them for maintenance and support if they should present a Father and Priest without some sprinckling either of direct or indirect symonie and also of such Clerkes as professe they believe the resurrection of their bodies after they are calcined to dust and yet dare not trust God for food and raiment without these indirect and symoniacall contracts But I containe These things therefore my much honoured and most deerely respected friends I present unto you and together with them whatsoever is worth acceptance either in the person or function of Your most affectionate friend and Servant in the things of Iesus Christ.
