To the godly Reader.
IN Gods Church commonly they who are touched by the spirit, & be∣gin to come on in Religion, are much troubled with feare that they are not Gods children; and none so much as they. Therefore they often thinke on this point: and are not quiet till they finde some resolution.
The spirit of God, (as best knowing the estate of Gods children) hath pen∣ned two parcels of holy scripture, for the full resoluing of this case; namely the 15. Psalme and ••he first Epistle of Saint Iohn.
And for the helping of the simple and vnlearned, who desire to bee infor∣med concerning their estate, I haue propounded these two parts of scripture, in the forme of a Dialogue: and haue ioyned thereunto a little discourse con∣cerning the same matter, penned in Latin by H. Zanchius, a learned Diuine, and now englished.
Vse this labour of mine for thy benefite and comfort: & the Lord increase the number of them which may reioyce that their names are written in hea∣uen.
