To the Immense and Divine Triade, who has enabled me to go through and perfect this Work, under manifold Afflicti∣ons and great Weaknesses, and to bring it to light under a long Sickness of above 40 weeks continuance: who has de∣livered me from the Grave, and saved me from the Jaws of Hell, making me to break its cords asunder; who has made me to survive Envy, and to wade through a Sea of Lies, designed Calumnies and Slanders: and has caused me to tryumph over the false and lying Tongue: who pointed out to me the Snare, and has delivered me from the Power of the Sorceress: To him whose Almighty Power, under all this great Burden has sustained me, and whose Right Hand has thus admirably upheld me, who has put into my heart his Fear, and impressed upon my Soul the Chara∣cter of his Holiness: who has dealt with me after a wonder∣ful manner, and made me largely to partake of his loving Kindnesses, even in the midst of Judgment so that his Rod became a Staff unto me. My Soul in Testimony of abundant Thankfulness, offers up to my compassionate GOD a perpe∣tual Sacrifice of Praise and Thanksgiving; to whom belongs all Power, Dominion, Honour, Glory and Renown now and ever. Amen.
