Containing also an exhortation to the Christian readers, to put them on to a serious consideration of these unutterable things, that are here presented to their grave, deliberate, and retired thoughts; that they might understand, and have them printed in their hearts: as most infallible demonstrations, of the infinitie greatness and power of God, and that to the eye of sense, yea, to the infallible conviction, and extirpation of all atheisticall thoughts that may arise in their minds. Read if thou wilt; but if thou doest read that which hath not been told thee, shalt thou see; and that which thou hast not heard thou shalt consider: as Isa. 52.15.
