Other NoteNever preached. The letter at the beginning of the volume describes how Bourcher wrote the sermon: 'I penn'd it, In this Tyme of my Sicknes; Intending, that yf it had pleased God to Restore me to my former Health to have Committed it to the pulpitt, as ye first fruites of my Recovery: But tere is little Hope of That, my Malady more & more increasing: yf It shall please you at your leysure to Redde it over, you cannot but say, that I wrote it feelingly'.
