I had not purposed to enlarge the last Edition, save that the importunity of many devoutly disposed prevailed with me to add some points, and to amplify others. To satisfy whose godly requests I have done my best endeavour, and withal finished all that I intend in this argument. If thou shalt hereby reap any more profit, give God the more praise; and remember him in thy prayers who hath vowed both his life and his labours to further thy salvation as his own.

Farewell in the Lord Jesus,

Lewis Bayly.
