The mere Light of Nature being not sufficient to discover to us the Knowledge of God and our selves, much less to direct us to the enjoyment of this God, and all those unspeakable blessings wherein consists our future happiness; and the Holy Scriptures being the Fountain of Divine and Saving Knowledge, from whence the Pastor of the Flock of Christ is to draw forth the Waters of Life both for his own and others benefit: It is principally requisite he should be pro∣vided of such Books as shall enable him, 1. To know the Text it self, and that both in the Original and Vulgar Tongues, 2. To understand the mean∣ing of it; and 3. To apply it skilfully to the Edifi∣cation of others.
