I suppose that no man that readeth this, will conceive, that any of these is needless. And as I would advise such Christians as abound with ability and leisure, to furnish themselves with the labours of such worthy Di•ines, ⟨p. 8⟩as have written of any of those subjects: so unto such Christians as have not that ability or leisure I commend these Treatises, both for their brevity, and the distinct digesting of the things he would seek after; there being nothing of mine in these, but the labour of disposing them, the main substance of them being Gods own Word, and things devised and invented by God himself. I may lawfully commend the care and study of these things unto thee, and that with so much authority from the Lord, as to tell thee, that thou mayest not safely be negligent in any of these, if thou consider the worth of them, or thy own need.
