The Authours Epistle to the Reader.
IT hath been the way of God in speaking to men, and drawing their hearts to him, to apply himself to them, in those things they have skill of and are acquainted with. When Christ was revealed to the Wise men that came from the East, it was by a Star: they were Astronomers, and conversed ⟨image 3⟩much in the contemplation of the Stars, and God speaks to them accordingly: When our Saviour called Fishermen to follow him, he tells them. He will make them Fishers of men; he expresseth himself unto them in their own way.
