TO THE CHRISTI∣an Reader.
MY chiefe desire and ende∣uour in this (like the poore Bee that gathe∣reth of diuers plants, and borroweth of sundrie mens labours, to contriue a worke profitable for orhers) hath beene to benefit my selfe and family, but cheif∣ly these poore children with whom I am conuersant in my poore calling. If God the giuer of all goodnesse, vouchsafe his blessing to it, for pri∣uate or publike good, I haue my de∣sire; and with my further endeuour and prayer to God, will not cease to seeke and wish the same still; so far as the quality of a Christian calling, health, & poore abilitie will permit.
Thine in prayer. G. B.
