Note

"Of the many persons to whom the authorship has been at various times ascribed, viz., Archbishop Sterne, Bishop Fell, Beshop Henchman ... and Richard Allestree ... 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. of nat. biog., v. 43, p. 87.
First published anonymously in London, 1659, with title: The Practice of Christian graces; or, The whole duty of man.
