Reader, if you are among them, who takes no notice of these things, or cares not for them, - who has no sense of the efficacy and dangers of temptations in your own walking and profession, nor have observed the power of them upon others, - who discern not the manifold advantages that they have got in these days, wherein all things are shaken, nor have been troubled or moved for the sad successes they have had among professors- but suppose that all things are well within doors and without, and would be better could you obtain fuller satisfaction to some of your lusts in the pleasures or profits of the world, - I desire you to know that I write not for you, nor do esteem you a fit reader or judge of what is here written.
