SIR,

not

great
Obligations you

Nar
rative,

f
which

'Tis
well known to
me
and
others,
how
great
a
Veneration he
had
for
your
decea
/ed Father,
whom
he
took
to be
one
of
the
livelie.Ft
Inflances
and
Emblems
ofPrimitiveChrilli-
anity
that
ever
he
was acquainted
with.
Neither
am
I
ignorant
of
the very
great
ReJbeCls
he
delrvedly
bore
to
your
Self
and
Family.
The
remembrance
of
your
f
firm
and
generous
adhe
rence
to
him,
in
the
Day
of
his
Trial
and Dijirefi,
feems
to
me
greatly

of
this
Account
of
the
Perfon
and
Labours

He
took your
refolute Appearance
for
him, as
a delightful
demonFlration
of
your
great Re
fiefis
to
his
great
MaFler, and
for
the fame
MaFler's
fake
unto
himfelf.
He
ventur'd his
All
for
God,
andyou
expos'dyour
Self
for
him,to the feverely
trying
Entertain
ments
which he
met
with
in
open
Court,
from
Men
of
Place
and Figure
in
that
Day
;
wherein
their
indecent
Carriages
refleCled
great
Honour both
on
him
andyou, tho'
not
a little
D
(reputation
was
thereby
contrafled
to
them
felves.
Had
not
the Reverend
Author
plac'd
great
Confidence
in
you,
fo
great
a
Truff
as
his
laß
Will
and
iellament
re-
pos'd
in
you,
had
never
been
your Lot. To
