ON Several Subjects. By JOHN FISHE R, A. M. SHERBORNE: Printed by WILLIAM BETTINSON; and Sold by 100. r. alb. TO THE Right Reverend Father in GOD, STEPHEN By Divine Permiffion, Lord Bishop of Exeter. MY LORD, AVING been prevail'd upon by my Friends to fend a Volume of my dear deceas'd Hufband's Sermons to the Prefs, I could not long deliberate with myself to whom I fhould addrefs them. The Favours you conferr'd upon the Author of them, when alive, and the gracious Continuance of your Kindness to myself fince his Death, under the ftrait Circumftances wherein I was left, would not let me think of any one but Your Lordship. Some of the Sermons were, I know, preach'd before Your Lordship, and met with your Approbation. Had they come immediately from the Author, they would very probably have appeared in a better Drefs. |
