I shall briefly acquaint the Reader with what Relieved me against this objection, and gave me satisfaction in the publishing of this part of the Exposition, after it was finished. For I could not but remember that the times and seasons where in the former parts of it were published, were very little more settled and quiet, than are these which are now urgent on us: yet did not this hinder but they have been of some use and benefit unto the Church of God in this Nation and others also. And who knows but this may have the same blessing accompanying of it? He who hath supplied seed to the sower, can multiply the seed sown, and increase the Fruits of it. And although at present the most are really unconcerned in things of this nature, yet not a few from many parts both at home and abroad, have earnestly solicited the continuation of the Exposition, at least unto that period whereunto it is arrived.

Besides, in labours and endeavours of this nature, respect is not had merely unto the present Generation, especially as many are filled with prejudices and causeless enmity against the Author of them. We have our selves more benefit and advantage by the writings of sundry persons in former Ages, than they received by them who lived in their own days.
