WHereas the Enemies of our Reformation have invidiously suggested the want of Charity in Protestants , and have frequently made great Ostentation of the Pious and Charitable Deeds perform'd by Members of the Roman Church , as if Good Works were a distinguishing Note of their Communion ; and , Whereas the Publick Works of Piety and Charity done in England since that blessed Period , tho' great and numerous , lie scatter'd and dispers'd in Private Memorials , and have not yet been collected together into one View , for the Knowledge and Satisfaction of the World ; and , Whereas the representing them in due Method and Order will very much conduce to the Glory of Almighty God , the Propagation of Christianity , the Honour of this Church and Nation , the Vindication of the Protestant Religion , the doing Justice to the Memories of past Benefactors , and raising up more shining Examples in future Generations : To answer these and some other laudable Designs , This Work is undertaken , ( on a just prospect of Encuragement and Assistance from Persons of Character in Church and State ) and some progress already made in it by the Reverend Mr. Philip Stubs , Rector of St. Alphage , London ; who hereby humbly desires all others , of what Quality soever , who are Able and Willing to promote so useful a Design , to communicate to him all proper Informations that may fall under the Heads hereafter specify'd ,
