Editor's Note – During the EEBO-TCP Transcription Process, all the text was hand transcribed according to visual representation; and as such, sometimes the letters s, l, f & t are misconstrued with each other, these letters regularly being almost illegibly similar in the original facsimile script.
Though it is rare for these errors to remain post-edit, unfortunately they may remain if uncaught. My sincere apologies in advance where such errors occur. As the Puritan Edward Leigh once said "If thou findest faults and Errata in the book, let love cover them, for to err (as the Satirist saith) is the sad privilege of mortality, and he (of all men) erreth most, who challengeth a privilege from error." Also, the symbol <H&G>, when included, signifies omitted Hebrew & Greek. Lastly, some archaic words may be updated to more contemporary terminology; but changes have been kept to a bare minimum, and any mentioned page numbers in the text will correlate to the original facsimile and not the eBook or Reprint.

PREF. To the Reader.
T hou art here presented with the living Sermons of one who is fallen asleep in Jesus, whose memory is sweet and fragrant unto the Saints;
He was famous for the Work of God and Christ in his Generation, and Instrumental for the begetting of many spiritual Children unto the Lord
Jesus.
The Author of these Sermons (Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs) like Abel, being dead, yet speaketh: And of that, which is not only our Duty to hear, but our
Privilege to be made acquainted with: for he Treats of God, of Christ, and Mans Soul: three choice subjects. Knowledge is Pleasant, Prov. 2:20, but none more pleasant than that is Divine. The knowledge of the holy God is
Understanding, Prov. 9:10, the knowledge of Christ is Excellent, Phil. 3:8, the knowledge of both is Life eternal, Joh. 17:3. And for the Soul, it is that piece of Immortality which is of greater value than the whole world, Matth.
16:26. It is that which God challengeth to be his, Ezek. 18:4, and that which the Lord Christ accounted not his precious blood too much to give for, 1
Pet. 1:18,19. I shall not hold thee longer from the Work itself: But desire the blessing of God to go along with it, and those that are exercised in it.
