To the preſent Age and Poſterity,
Greeting.

ALthough I had ranked the Hiſtory of
Life and Death as the laſt among ſt my
Six Monethly Deſignations; yet I
have thought fit, in reſpect of the prime uſe
thereof, (in which the leaſt loß of time ought
to be eſteemed precious) to invert that order, and to ſend it
forth in the ſecond place. For I have hope, and wiſh, that it
may conduce to a common good; and that the Nobler ſort of
Phyſicians will advance their thoughts, and not employ their
times wholly in the ſordidneß of Cures, neither be honored
for Neceſſity onely, but that they will become Coadju-
tors and Inſtruments of the Divine Omnipotence
and Clemency in Prolonging and Renewing the
Life of Man; eſpecially ſeeing I preſcribe it to be done by
ſafe, and convenient, and civil ways, though hitherto unaſſayed.
For though we Chriſtians do continually aſpire and pant
after the Land of Promiſe; yet it will be a token of
Gods favor towards us, in our journeyings through this
Worlds Wilderneſs, to have our Shoes and Gar-
ments (I mean thoſe of our frail Bodies) little worn or
impaired.

Fr. St. Albans.
