Courteous Christian Reader,

I Have, as thou by this Little Book mayst see, adventured, at this time, to do my endeavour to show thee something of the Gospel-Glory of Solomon's Temple. That is, of what it, with its Utensils was a Type of; and, as such, how instructing it was to our Fathers, and also is to us their Children. The which, that I might do the more distinctly, I have handled Particulars one by one, to the number of threescore and ten; namely, all that of them I could call to ⟨image 3⟩mind, because, as I believe, there was not one of them but had its signification, and so something profitable for us to know.

For, though we are not now to worship God in those Methods, or by such Ordinances as once the Old Church did: Yet to know their Methods, and to understand the Nature and Signification of their Ordinances, when compared with the Gospel, may, even now, when themselves, as to what they once enjoined on others, are dead, may minister Light to us. And hence the New-Testament Ministers, as the Apostles, made much use of Old Testament-Language, and Ceremonial Institutions, as to their signification, to help the Faith of the Godly in their preaching of the Gospel of Christ.
