Notes:The first edition, prefaced by a commendatory letter to the publisher from Henry Hammond, D.D. (dated March 7th, 1657, and reprinted in subsequent editions) was published anonymously, London, 1659, under title "The practice of Christian graces. Or, The whole duty of man".
"Of the many persons to whom the authorship has been at various times ascribed, viz., Archbishop Sterne, Bishop Fell, Bishop Henchman, Bishop Chappell of Cork, Abraham Woodhead, Obadiah Walker, Archbishop Frewen, William Fulman, and Richard Allestree, besides one or two others, the preponderance of evidence seems so strongly to lie in favour of the last-named as practically to admit of little doubt on the matter."--Rev. W.D. Macray, in Dict. nat. biog., v. 43, p. 87.
