READER;
We, whose names are here under-written, having (through grace) some blessed Faith and experience of the Truths declared in this Book, and knowing them so to be; having tried them by the Scriptures in the light of the Spirit, thought it our duty to bear witness thereunto, together with our Brother, desiring the blessing of God may go along with these endeavours of his, for the doing good to our Christian brethren, or any other who may read it. Farewell.
