Stradling An Advertisement to the READER THese are to let thee understand Christian Reader that this Sermon was not in its first framing intended for publick view onely composed for the benefit of a private and plaine auditory and indeed had it not been desired by some and had I not had strong convictions on my spirit concerning the present necessity of the Subject it had gone no further then those to whom it was first preached let the shortness of the time I had to compose it plead something for its plaine garb in which it doth appeare it being preached on the 13. Ian. the Lords day next following the Rebellious insurrections in London it being likewise a more then ordinary busy week with me upon some other occasions I am not unsensible how many uncharitable censures I am like to bear from some for it but let such know that by the peace I have in my own conscience I am provided to bear them all and like a Christian consider if thou shalt judge the Author rashly it will most redound to thy own hurt and be an addition of guilt to thy own conscience Some few words I have changed in the printing of it but nothing of the sence of what was delivered and some few lines though very few I have added in one or two places for illustration sake also one head which being cast upon the straites of time was through hast omitted is here inserted The rest is intire as it was preached both for sence and words Be not e're the more out of love with truth though thou meet it in a plain dress read without Gall or prejudice study and seek the Churches peace so shalt thou approve thy self to be a true servant of the God of peace if thou seest any thing of humane frailty cover it with the mantle of love read and not onely read but practise what is here from Gods word discovered to be thy duty The Lord add his blessing Thine in the Lord.

Chamberlaine Deputy and the rest of the Committe of the Honourable East-Indie-Company Grace Mercy and Peace IT is not very long right Honourable since the condition of England was much like unto that of the Iews in their captivity of whom it is said the children of Israel Ier. 50.33 and the children of Iudah were oppressed together and all that took them captives held them fast they refused to let them go At which time when we seemed to be e'ne at the last gaspe it pleased Almighty God in mercy to visit us and in the restauration of our gracious Soveraigne to give no small hopes of our restauration to peace both in Church and State and Oh! how joyful and pleasant asight is it to all sound-hearted Christians to see the Walls of our Hierusalem building again yet hath it likewise fared with us as it did also with the people of God after their Captivity that no sooner could they begin to build but Sathan stirred up those who did indeavour to hinder this Glorious work who combined in a Plot and conspiracy against Gods Church Neh. 4.11 and designed before they should know any thing or see them to come into the midst of them and slay them cause their work to cease which we have once more with our eyes beheld to be attempted in our time It is this malice of the Devil against the peace of our Zion which hath occasioned me to handle this Subject looking upon it as my duty hereupon to open the hainousness of this sin of Rebellion from the word of God and to give answer to the Pleas of discontented persons that if it be possible the erroneous might be reduced and the like sad unscriptural attempts might be for future prevented I doubt not but some may be much displeased at what is herein contained especially those who are touched in the sore place Even wholesome food is unsavory to the palate of such as are distempered but we must please God rather then men The Lord knows the peace of the Nation and Church in which we live is the maine end why I have taken the boldness to expose this Home-Spun Sermon unto publick view peace is that Jewel which set in the ring of the Church makes it sparkling glorious though it be the design of Sathan to rob it of this its glory of this its Iewel Accept therefore Right Honourable of this plain Sermon with all humility begging your protection and unto whom indeed could I more properly Dedicate it then unto your Honours by whose incouragement it is that both it and the rest of my labours in this place have received their very life and breath but unto you whose bounty in building us a Synagogue and care in promoting the Gospel of peace among us in a place where otherwise in all likelihood many souls would have starved for want of food whose charity I say in erecting and induing an Almes-house wherein to feed and cloth the bodies of the poore and in erecting a Spacious Chapel among us even in the midst of those times when others made it their work to throw down Churches where many hundred souls are continually fed thw the bread of life a high expression of your love to the God Gospel of peace such renouned acts as are worthy to be remembred and may serve as eminent examples to following Generations Oh! hovv many souls in this place are bound continually to blesse you and to blesse God for you besides indeed the particular favors I have received of you have ingaged me to present you vvith these first Fruits as a small expression of my thankfulnesse to you for those many undeserved favors conferred upon me all that I humbly petition of you is your acceptance praying that the Lord would abundantly blesse you with spiritual blessings in your souls and prosper you in your affaires in this world and at last advance you to be of the Company of the Glorious Saints in heaven which is the constant Prayer
