In short the Author was a Master-Builder in the Church of Christ whose Name is Precious both in Europe and America and that alone without any Recommendation may be sufficient to invite all Serious Christians that have ever heard of him to promote this Work As for those that are Strangers to him we heartily recommend it to them and doubt not but they will find that in it which will more than Recompence whatever Encouragement they give it That it may be greatly beneficial to the Church of Christ is the hearty desire of Your Servants for Christ's sake S.
