Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Brooks, Vol. 4 II. A second reason why I dedicate this Treatise to all sorts and ranks Of persons, is, because the matter contained in this book is of the greatest and highest concernment imaginable, to all ranks and degrees of men, from the greatest emperor that ever sat2 upon a throne, to the meanest and the poorest wretch that ever lay upon a dunghill. And doubtless that which is of such a marvellous importance to all, may very justly and reasonably be dedicated to all.
