Dr. Thomas tenison, afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury, preached the funeral sermon of Nell Gwyn. What so good a man did not think an unfit subject for a sermon, will not be thought, I trust, an unfit subject for a book for the life that was spent remissly may yet convey a moral, like that of jane Shore, which the wise and virtuous Sir Thomas More has told so touchingly in his History of King Richard III.
