THE LIFE

“Blessed is the man in whose spirit there is no guile.”—­Ps. xxxii. 2.

TO THE RIGHT REVEREND AND HONOURABLE,

LORD BISHOP OF WINCHESTER, PRELATE OF THE GARTER, AND ONE OF HIS
MAJESTY’S PRIVY COUNCIL.

[Sidenote:  Dedication]

MY LORD,

If I should undertake to enumerate the many favours and advantages I have had by my very long acquaintance with your Lordship, I should enter upon an employment, that might prove as tedious as the collecting of the materials for this poor Monument, which I have erected, and do dedicate to the Memory of your beloved friend, Dr. Sanderson:  But though I will not venture to do that; yet I do remember with pleasure, and remonstrate with gratitude, that your Lordship made me known to him, Mr. Chillingworth,[1] and Dr. Hammond; men, whose merits ought never to be forgotten.

My friendship with the first was begun almost forty years past, when I was as far from a thought, as a desire to outlive him; and farther from an intention to write his Life.  But the wise Disposer of all men’s lives and actions hath prolonged the first, and now permitted the last; which is here dedicated to your Lordship,—­and, as it ought to be—­with all humility, and a desire that it may remain as a public testimony of my gratitude.
