WHosoeuer dooth but cast his eye ouer any part of this Worke, must confesse it to bee both painefull and ingenious: And (which addeth much to the commendation of it) this addeth not to any that went before. It is farre more easie to adde, then to inuent: and for ought that I know, the Au∣thor doth not build vpon any other Mans founda∣tion in this kinde. But that which Crowneth this, and all such Christian endeuours, is, the subiect whereabout it doth conuerse. For though it bee a Dictionary interpreting Words and Phrases; yet is it a Diuine Dictionary, teaching the Language of the Holy-Ghost in our owne Natiue toong, which if a man could once attaine to speake Naturally and kindly, he would be more powerfully eloquent, then if he spake with the tongues of men and Angels.
