TO THE READER.

N EMBLEM is but a filent parable: let

not the tender eye check, to see the allufion to our bleffed SAVIOUR figured in. thefe types. In holy fcripture he is fometimes called a fower, fometimes a fither, fometimes a physician; and why not presented fo, as well to the eye as to the ear? Before the knowledge of letters, GOD was known by Hieroglyphics. And indeed what are the heavens, the earth, nay, every creature, but Hieroglyphics and Emblems of his glory?, I have no more to fay: I wish thee as much pleasure in the reading, as I had in writing. Farewell, Reader.

To sear from Earth, and better Views impart,

And make the Triune God the Object of its Love.
