Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
And to this end, amongst many other, observe with me these following directions.
1First, for a preparation, hear the word of God, for by this we are in heaven in part already, ⟨p. 219⟩for where the word is preached, there is the presence of the blessed Trinity, and the holy Angels bringing down heaven it self to us, teaching us in the laws of that Kingdom. Use reading also, for even thereby we talk with the Saints, who wrote those things for our instruction, and that spirit that guided them in writing, will also guide thee in reading. Receive the Sacraments often, for these ordinances are the heavenly Manna to us, and and strengthen us in our way, to the spiritual Canaan.
