And this I say was done by Gods perswasion ; for what man can be perswaded by a man to vndertake a matter of such a nature as this is ? nay we dare say , that all who are go ne thither , vnlesse they were misled by some sinister perswasions of their owne apprehensions , haue gone onely vpon the powerfull perswasion of Gods spirit to their consciences : for who should perswade hereunto , but either God or the diuell , or men , or a mans owne reason ?

     summary: The Lord has Hornets to buz and sting Terrors into those whom we may be too much terrified withal . And Gratify not any Corruption upon such a score ; for God will Reward your Fidelity : Said he in Matth. 19.27 . But the Reasons that produc'd my Labour in Preaching , which were , my Desire to save the Souls , and mend the Lives , and promote the Edification of those , for whom my Hearts Desire and Prayer to God , is , That they may be Happy ; and my Ambition to Encounter and Abolish what I can , the Unchristian Temper of those who take advantage from the other Difficulties and Entanglements of the Country , to refuse doing their part in carrying on the Indian War ; the same Reasons have procur'd my Consent to Printing of this Little Sermon .
