REader, I deſire thee to excuſe the unſuitableneſs of ſome of the page titles, that being the work of the Printers (I intended a running Title according to the ſeveral heads which were handled) The Contents will make full ſatisfaction for that error. My abſence from the Preſs hath occaſioned alſo ſome few miſtakes in the body of the Book; the moſt conſiderable of which, I have obſerved, and requeſt thee to amend. The Greek and Latine are mangled in the Margine, but I intending not the Treatiſe for Scholars, medled little with them, and am the leſs troubled for the miſtakes about them.
