TO THE

READER.

T

HE true Reason why you will find no mention ment of the Person

deceased, in this Discourse at his Interment, is; because according to my Judgment, I Maintain on all fuch Occafions the Difference between a Funeral Sermon, which is intirely for the Benefit of the Living; and a Funeral Oration, which is only an Encomium of the Dead.

Therefore bere, neither the Compоfition, nor the Subject does Appropriate the Discourse; but the Design, and the Use of it is as Common as

that of any other Discourse can be; and So the Occasion upon which it was Preached; and the Reason for which it is Published do perfectly agree, which is, that, all the Service which can be done by it, unto the Souls of men, may be done by
