00.3. TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL MAISTER ADRIAN MOORE Esquire, &c.

TO THE RIGHT WORSHIPFUL MAISTER ADRIAN MOORE Esquire, &c. And to the no less religious and virtuous Gentlewoman Mistress MARIE MOORE, his Wife, Patrones of Piety, all peace and happiness in both Worlds.

Right Worshipful, it must not seem strange unto you that a new occasion hath made also a new change of style; since occasion daily showeth so many changes in the world. Amongst all which alterations, I must beg of you still to continue your countenance unto these few plain homely Sermons: In token that no change (I hope so long as I live) shall keep me from manifesting unto the world (as all occasions shall serve) how much in duty I am bound to your true unfeigned love and undeserved favors to me the unworthiest of all. For which I can but wish you to be ever attended with those two faithful companions of the Saints: peace of conscience and joy in the holy Ghost: and at the last to have a speedy hearing when your Spirits shall fail, to transport them into Abraham’s bosom; there to enjoy eternal and unspeakable rest, forever and ever.

Yours in all duty much and ever bound, I. H.
