as being unacquainted with the Press I was fearfull to offer it a Piece so unprepared And truly how curt and compendious soever this Treatise may seem I found it so vast and copious in the Contrivall that I had some reluctance in my self about the Proceeding And it s no dissembling before the searcher of Hearts could I have foreseen the length or difficulty of the seeming little Way or had I not in the way felt a stronger Impulse and better Faculties then my own to direct and drive me forward I had fainted and faln off yea laid me down quite discouraged in the sense of my Imbecillity But my good Shepherd Jo. 10.14 who best knows how to deal with Lambs Isa 40.11 and those that are with Young was both so wise as to conceal it from me and so gracious as to lead me on along with some Ease and Alacrity While thus sensible of Divine Assistance I stirred up my self to a little more Elaboration and feeling a daily confluence of new-fresh Forces and Supplies I grew ashamed to think of Lagging or Lassitude and at length somwhat confirmed as I conceiv'd was loth to leave Place either for just Objection or future Exercise of my own in the Point here disputed And now although the Lord knoweth I am confcious of but little knowledg in my self less then the least of Saints yet somewhat more it is then Satan wisheth me or would perswade me that I have as You 'll hear anon This slender Piece then being in such Manner as God pleaseth accomplished I have no cause of doubt but some ground of Hope that in Point of Knowledg at least it will further some confirm others and offend none that fear God nor be sleighted of any as unconcerned since no married Man dares profess but that he ought to know thus much and much more In short Mayest thou enjoy the Profit Pleasure and Comfort of that which I have collected not without some Pains and Perplexity The Body may be enthral'd the Minde and thoughts cannot 2 Tim. 2.9 much less can the Word of God be bound Thine Husband Brother or Friend in the Lord M. à V.
