TO Those chiefly of this CITY, who have been the Moovers, and are the Promoters of this Worke.
Sirs,
Your continued care and labour of love, engages a like degree of both, for the growth of this Infant work. And therefore (though in the midst of manifold diversions) these pieces are ventured out. We live in an Age (O that we could live it) wherein the hand of Providence works gloriously, yea terribly: Having then, got three or four steps further into this Book of Providence, it will not be unseasonable, to show you the Prints of them. Especially seeing this History of Jobs affliction, looks so like a prophecy of ours; and (almost in every line) gives us some lineament of our present troubles and distempers, of our hopes and fears.

We live in an Age (O that we could live it) wherein the hand of Providence works gloriously, yea terribly: Having then, got three or foure steps further into this Book of Providence, it will not be unseasonable, to shew you the Prints of them. Especially seeing this History of Jobs affliction, looks so like a prophecy of ours; and (almost in every line) gives us some lineament of our present troubles and distempers, of our hopes and feares.
