To the Reader

To the READER.

What we have by way of preface set before the edition of the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh chapters, may sufficiently serve for a premise to these eighth, ninth and tenth chapters, as holding forth the use and scope of the whole prophecy, and the authors' intentions in his comment thereon: so as we shall only need now to give letters of credence before the world, to the passing of these, as the best, and most authentic notes that could any way be obtained, both as the extracts of the best notes of sermons, taken from his mouth, and chiefly his own writings, which were more brief. Expect shortly the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth chapters from the same hand. We commit them, and the reader to the blessing of God.
