Christian Reader,

IF ever thou hadst experience of this day of power, these visitations of Christ upon thine own spirit; I suppose thee to be one who hast embarked many prayers for the success of the Gospel in these dark corners of the earth to strengthen thy faith, enlarge thy heart, and assure thy soul that God is a God hearing prayers: An account is here given to thee of the conquests of the Lord Jesus upon these poor out-casts, who have thus long been estranged from him, spilt like water upon the ground and none to gather them.

They rest on the Lords day, and make laws for the observation of it, wherein they meet together to pray & instruct one another in the things of God, which have been communicated to them. They renounce their diabolical Charms and Charmers, and many of those who were practitioners in these sinful and soul-undoing Arts, being made naked, convinced and ashamed of their evil, forsake their may, and betake themselves to prayer, preferring the Christian
