The Preface is an entrance to the Vision, contained in the beginning of the first Chapter, from the first verse to the ninth. The Vision it self is set down in the rest of these three Chapters. The Preface hath two parts: First, the title of the book: Secondly, the inscription thereof. The title in the three first verses. The inscription, from the fourth to the ninth verse.
