TO THE READER.
This brief and summary collection of all the doctrines of the 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17. Chapters of the Proverbs, which was intended for private use, I have thought good (with the Authors consent) to prefix unto this book, as that which (I hope) may be useful for many: for by this direction, those that cannot read all, may make choice of that which most concerns them; and those that have read all, may more easily find that again which most contents them. The reason why some verses with the doctrines are omitted, is because they have been handled before.
