"The seventeenth century was a most stirring and eventful period of British history.  Men were raised up for the times.  There were giants in those days.  Among these, some of the most distinguished are the authors of the Morning Exercises; their profound erudition, eminent piety, ardent zeal, and acute usefulness.  Preaching was their beloved work; and the faculties of their minds, and the affections of their hearts were treasures of thought and of learning that they and demonstrated, were employed in the discharge of a duty in which they delighted."  (From the preface.)
