To the Reader.
Christian Reader,
THE industry of man hath con∣tracted the whole Bible into so small a Volume, that every one may make it their Pocket-Compa∣nion; that thou also maist by thy In∣dustry make it thy Heart-Companion, I do not wish it more contracted, but thy heart more enlarged. That which others make their Manual, do thou take for thy Cordial; That which others read, do thou believe: That which others discourse upon, do thou live upon; And let that which lies by others in their houses, dwell richly in thy heart; Wouldst thou have me com∣mend this Word of God to thee? I cannot as it deserves: Read it fre∣quently, Love it ardently, and Live by it continually, and it will sufficiently commend it self to thee, yet I have en∣deavoured in some measure to set forth the Beauty, Ʋsefulness, Excellency and Perfections of it in this ensuing Me∣ditation.
