To the Reader.
AN Embleme is but a silent Para∣ble. Let not the tender Eye check, to see the allusion to our blessed Saviour figured in these Types. In holy Scripture, he is some∣times called a Sower; sometimes, a Fish∣er; sometimes a Physician: And why not presented so as well to the eye as to the eare? Before the knowledge of let∣ters God was known by Hieroglyphicks: And, indeed, what are the Heavens, the Earth, •…•…ay every Creature, but Hierogly∣phicks and Emblemes of His Glory? I have no more to say. I wish thee as much plea∣sure in the reading, as I had in the wri∣ting. Farewell, Reader.
