GENTLE Reader, concerning the words of art contained in this book, I must pray thee to take a little pains, by the circumstances to gather the meaning of them. If I should, as some other have done, make them speak English, yet if thou be ignorant of the arts, they would in mine opinion have been as dark to thy understanding, and much darker then they be now. And that may easily appear by those curious heads that have gone about too make Logic speak English, both to the disgracing of it, and also to the lessening of the force and ⟨image 23⟩signification of those words of Art, which all Arts have & must have proper and peculiar to them selves: but if thou will mark the matter diligently, that which goeth before and followeth, it shall be easy for thee, to understand what the Author meaneth. In mean time, I for my part have done the best I can, and will be glad to learn at the feet of any that shall teach me better. The Lord Jesus increase our knowledge, and give us Faith in him for ever. Amen.
