My Dear Children--I am sensible of my unworthiness, and unfitness to be seen in Print--it is now above Twenty years since, by the power and goodness of-God, I was unexpectedly rescued from the jaws of death, which was-the reason I then published that little book, called, Christ's Power-over bodily Diseases- and I had never been the Author of a book of-this Title, had not two of you, but especially one made me the Father-of fools.-I shall here say no more particularly to you two, but that sound-repentance, and the fruits thereof, in a settled reformation of life, will-yet be your glory, and my joy- but if ye hate to be reformed, -which-God forbid- I shall mourn till I die for the loss of Children, but ye will-be tormented forever for the loss of God.
