Exodus and Leviticus as wholly useless in their Esteem which was one considerable Reason which put me upon that Task of bringing forth my Book call'd The Types Unvailed above Thirty Years agon it was to encline the ignoranter sort of Christians to a greater Freedom to make themselves more familiar with these Old Testament-Mysteries in which as so many Pearls hid in a heap of Earth the Substance of the whole Gospel is included and the same Design I have in being willing to let go this Exposition to publick View the Piece having lain by me in secret for some Years not knowing that ever it might be of any farther Vse than to benefit my own Children but God which orders all Events by his Providence it seems was resolved that this Work of mine though but a Mite prepared for his Treasury yet it should not be buried in Oblivion but did order it to be so though unknown to me did cast a Servant of his into a Family unto which I had lent the Manuseript to read for their private Instruction it pleased God to order it so that the People of the House should give their Friend a sight of the Copy and when he had read part of it it begat a thorow Resolution in his Mind not to rest until he had been at the Press with it and though it be void of Letters of Attestation yet it hath past under several good Ministers Approbation So commending the whole Work to the Blessing of God with thy Soul in the reading of it which if it prove a Means of the increase of thy Faith in God thy Knowledge of God and Love to God give the whole Honour to him from whom I received this Light as indeed they must who are mostly acquainted with the Original of my Education and give me thy Prayers not thy Praises that God would make my Preaching-labours as well as my Writing-labours very profitable to the Souls of those I labour in the Ministry amongst And so crave leave to write my self the meanest of Ministers and yet Christ's and the Churches Servant T.
