To the READER.
Reader,
WE here present thee with a continuation of Expositions and Observations upon other Four Chapters of the Prophet Hosea, delivered by that Worthy Man, now with God. Himself in his life-time published the Three first Chapters; These now made public, were compiled out of the Manuscripts which Himself under His own Hand left, which being short, have been filled up and enlarged out of the best Copies of Sermon Notes taken from His own mouth. We must not undertake for all imperfections or mistakes that haply may be found, though a diligent and a skilful hand had the collecting of them. We only give Letters of Credence to them, that they are genuinely the Authors, and that they are singularly worthy of all acceptation, especially by such Readers as have their thoughts exercised in observing the ways of Gods proceedings in and towards the Nations of the world where His Name is called. One great piece of His Dispensations under the Old Testament, was that towards the Ten Tribes, who remain in captivity to this day,1 and who were set up (as their Predecessors in the wilderness) as Types •f Gods dealing in like cases with us under the New Testament; as we may see in the instance of the Eastern and Gracian Churches that have groaned under the Mahometan Tyrannies and Oppressions,
