Know Christian Reader, that Part of this Work was perfected by the Author in his life time. But it pleased God to take him away before the rest was finished, whereby the Copy was for a time mislaid, & with some difficulty at length procured, which is now published for thy good. Bless God for preserving such a Jewell; and see thy soul be enriched by it. Let it not be said, there was a Prize put into thy hand, but thou hadst not a heart to make use of it. Remember thou hast an immortal soul, and art capable of living in immortal ⟨image 4⟩glory, therefore be not put off with the things of this life. Let not that satisfy thy soul, which may stand with the eternal hatred of the great God, least while others partake of an Inheritance above, thou have a Portion with reprobates below. Thou mightst have been past reading or hearing of these things, and have found by sad experience, what it is to be excluded the Saints felicities. Embrace the Opportunity and pass by the escapes of Printing. So
KNow Christian Reader, that Part of this Work was perfected by the Authour in his life time. But it pleased God to take him away before the rest was finished, whereby the Copie was for a time mislayed, & with some difficulty at length procured, which is now published for thy good. Bless God for preserving such a Iewell; and see thy soul bee inriched by it. Let it not be said, there was a Prize put into thy hand, but thou hadst not a heart to make use of it. Remember thou hast an immortall soul, and art capable of living in immortall ⟨image 4⟩glory, therfore be not put off with the things of this life. Let not that satisfy thy soul, which may stand with the eternall hatred of the great God, least while others partake of an Inheritance above, thou have a Portion with reprobates belowe. Thou mightst have been past reading or hearing of these things, and have found by sad experience, what it is to be excluded the Saints felicities. Imbrace the Opportunity and pass by the escapes of Printing. So
