LONDON, Printed for Nathaniel Ponder, at the Sign of the Peacock in the Poultry, near the Church, 1680 THE PREFACE TO THE READER.

I have so fully in my former Discourses on this subject, declared the general design, scope and end of this Epistle, the pro per way and means of its Interpretation, with the method of the present Exposition, which is the same throughout, that I shall not at all here detain the Reader with a renewed Declaration of any of them.

Onely some few things which immediately concern that part of the Exposition which is now presented unto him, and my labour therein, may be mentioned (as I suppose) unto some usefulness. 1.

And it may not be amiss in the first place to take notice of an Objection the present endeavour seems liable and obnoxious unto; and this is the Unseasonableness of it.

We live in times that are for tifyed against the use of Discourses of this nature, especially such as are so long and bulky.

The world, and the minds of men therein, are filled with disorder and confusion, and the most are at their wits end with looking after the things that are come and coming on the Earth.

They have enough to do, in hearing, telling and reading, real or pretended News of publick affairs, so as to divert them from inga ging their time, and industry in the perusal and study of such discour ses.

Besides, there is not any thing in this now published to condite it unto the Palate of the present Age, in personal contests and re flections, in pleading for or against any party of men or especial way in the profession of Religion; only the fundamental Truths of the Gospel are occasionally contended for.

These and the like conside rations, might possibly in the judgment of some, have shut up this whole discourse in darkness upon the account of its being unseason able.

I shall briefly acquaint the Reader with what Relieved me against this objection, and gave me satisfaction in the publishing of this part of the Exposition, after it was finished.
