The Supervisor to the READER.
THE Author was prevented by several providences, from preaching the fore going Sermon for some months together, insomuch as himself wondered what purpose God had in it; till at last God visited him by sickness, whereof he fell on sleep in the Lord: His Disease was thought to be Infection, but without any sore, yea, and (as the Gentlewoman his wife hath related) without any spots or tokens; only there was a black settling of blood on one side of his back, which she supposed might have come with a Fall from a Horse which he had taken not long before. This is mentioned by occasion of some contrary reports concerning his death. About the time of his immediate dissolution be lift up his eyes, and was heard to speak these words, I come, I come, I come: and so gave up the ghost.

It had been much to be wished that the Author had been more concise & brief in some Amplifications which, though they were all exceeding useful, yet they have deprived us of his Preaching and completing both the former Sermon, and the rest of the Prophecy. But God was pleased (for our sin no doubt) to deprive us of that Mediator like Instrument between the divided Godly Parties of this Nation, and of the further mind of the Holy-Ghost which be had revealed to this his Servant, touching the Scope and Use of this Prophecy in these days.
