To the READER.
GOD who alone is perfect in Himself, hath retained this Prerogative to Himself, That His Work should be perfect (as Moses speaks) And as another Holy One hath it, doth all his pleasure. Paul, though in what-ever he was to commit to writing (in matters sacred) had infallibility of assistance, yet perfected not all be intended: These things we will do, if God permit, said he to the Hebrews: But we no where find extant any evidence, 1that he accomplished what he there intended; Namely, A full Methodical Discourse upon those first Principles, and Foundations of Religion, which that speech had reference unto. It is no wonder then, that if such a kind of Imperfection accompanied the Works of so great a Master-builder, if it attend those who build on this Foundation, and are not privileged (as yet he was) from building Hay and stubble.
