This work, originally issued anonymously in 1658, is now attributed to Richard Allestree, 1619-1681, Royalist divine. The
authorship has been at various times ascribed to Archbishop Sterne, Bishop Fell, Lady Pakington and others.
With regard to Lady Pakington’s supposed authorship of this work, see no. 4853, where it is explained that the work was ascribed to her by George Hickes, who was living under her roof at the time.
