Postquam gens Iudaea coepit non habere prophetas, proculduhio deterior facta est; eo scilicet tempore quo sciperabat instaurato templo post captivitatem, quae fuit in Babylonia, futuram esse meliorem.

To the Reader.
COurteous Reader, The thing I must desire of thee, is, that as thou goest along, thou wouldest first reade the Texts of Scripture, and the heads which are in the margin, else many things will be but cloudy and darke; the rather, because in some places the sentences are not so fitly distinguished as it were to be wished; as (for instance) may appeare in page 56. the 5. chap. ver. 19. & chap. 13. …er. 15. Wherefore I intreat the Reader still to hauehave his eye on the margin, and view first the contexts there, and then the explication will come to his hand with more clearenesse and perspicuity.
Also I am to begge of the Reader, that he will with his pen (ere he reade this Tract) mend the faults here noted, many whereof maimne the sense and lose the meaning, (occasioned by the Transcribers mistaking in the copying of it out) smaller matters, as mispointing and the like, I forbeare to trouble you with, as comming of themselues to eueryevery mans obseruation.
RICH. CAPEL.
