GENTLEMEN,

HE many Inftances of Providence in Favour of that great Defign you are fo happily engaged in, as they manifeftly fhew the Power of God in difappointing the Devices of ill Men against it, so they naturally point out to us all that Wildom, Prudence, and good Conduct, in the Management of it, as may best answer its Inftitution, and most effectually conduce to its Welfare, Intereft, and Advantage.

To relieve the Diftreffed, to fupport the Weak, and to clothe the Naked, are indifputable Marks of Tenderness, Humanity, and Compaffion.

A 2

paffion. But to extend your Charity to the Spiritual as well as Temporal Wants and Neceflities of others, to the Souls as well as Bodies of our Fellow-Creatures, is fo worthy, fo generous an A&t of Beneficence, fo laudable in itfelf, fo glorious in its Confequences, and fo infinitely preferable to, and above, all other. Kinds of Charity, that Words do but faintly exprefs, Language, with all the Force of Rhetorick, can but imperfectly fet forth, and display it.

That you, Gentlemen, have made this your View; that this has been a main, a principal Part of your Study, of your Care and Concern; and that, animated with this pious Zeal, with this Chriftian Spirit and Temper, you will profecute further, and advance the fame glorious Defign, appears to all who are not wilfully blind, to all judicious, impartial, and unprejudiced Obfervers. Witnels thofe excellent Rules and Orders * which, fully to obviate thofe little Arts, Cavils, and Objections against thefe Inftitutions, you have fo wifely contrived, as a Standard, for the Regulation and good Government of them, and which (to your Honour be it faid) are fo worthily received, fo highly approved, and efteemed, as not only to have the concurrent Approbation of the wifeft and beft of the Laity, but of the Clergy too, of the moft Reverend the Prelates, the Fathers and Bifhops of our Church, to give Sanction to them; and who (to the Honour of this Defign, as well as to remove the Objections againt it) have unanimously recommended them, not by their Sermons and Writings only, but, as Published by Mr. Dod.
