The Author to the Reader.
Seeing the Lord hath been pleased to put it into mine heart, to write a few things to thee (Reader) touching those things which are most surely believed by all those that are, or shall be sav•d, Luke 1. 1. Acts 1•. 38. I think it meet also, to stir up thy heart by way of remembrance, touching those thing that are the hinderances of thy believing the things that are necessary to th• welfare of thine immortal soul. And indeed, this is the only thing necessary; it is better to lose ⟨image 14⟩all that ever thou hast, than to have thy soul and body for ever cast into hell: and therefore, I beseech thee to consider with me a few things touching the Stratagems, or subtle temptations of the Devil, whereby he lieth in wait, if by any means he may, to make thee fall short of eternal life, 1 Pet. 5. 8.
