yea, I am always ready my self, not only to receive better things, but also to give them thanks that offer the same. In the mean season I put out my talent, which I have received of the Lord, that I may win some lucre with it for my Lord. And I beseech the Lord that he would prosper it well, and bless this my simple traffic.

Here moreover I take God to witness, that I have taken this pain, for no private hatred towards any man, for no desire of railing,1 nor for any intent to procure any mans displeasure: but simply to expound this excellent and right profitable book of the new Testament which have lately with my commentaries set forth all the residue of the books of the new Testament. And besides all this, many godly & learned men out of sundry places, in their letters written to me, have required my exposition upon the Apocalypse. To whose judgment sins I gave very much, I did in deed more easily consent to this edition. And wherein the mean time the hateful cause of Antichrist (as many men call it) came in the beginning of the work to be handled, I neither ought, nor might dissemble it.
