Reader, in this Book there are two parts, the one begins at the Churches visitation, and goes on orderly to Page 240. and there it ends, this I call the second part. All the rest from the beginning and so forward I count the first part: therefore when thou art directed to the fourth or fifth page, because thou shouldest not look in both, nor mistake, I have set it thus: 1. 4. which is 1 Part and 4 Page; or •. 5. the second Part and fifth Page.
