The Printers Postscript to the Reader.
GEntle Reader, a Copy of the foregoing Disquisitions acci∣dentally
comming to the hands of some, at whose command
I am, was thought fit to be published, though without the know∣ledge
and approbation of the Authors. The fitnesse of the subject,
the worth of the work, and a peculiar relation to the Authors (if I
mistake them not) may be a sufficient motive hoth for their com∣mand
and my undertaking. Consider it seriously, and if thou art
not yet ingaged in the Covenant, this will confirm thee in thy re∣solution
against it; if thou art, this by the assistance of Gods
grace may bring thee to a timely repentance. I cannot but admo∣nish
thee this one thing, viz. That I have gone exactly according
to the Copy, even in those phrases which resemble the Genius of the
place where it was composed, more then where it is published;
onely the faults which have escaped, I desire may be imputed to
me and those many transcribers, through whose hands it passed
before it could come to mine.
FINIS.
