To the earnest

READER.

1.

God-loving Reader, as you have been able to see (in our mother tongue) in the first part of this Hand-book, upon what Academiam Academy/University this Author studied, through which you will be drawn, or at least moved, to follow Christ in such a process, and to enter into the wrestling with Jacob the Biblical patriarch, through which you (maintaining the struggle) may also obtain the blessing of Jacob (in Christ): so I cannot neglect to share with you what my delight (since that time) has been in the works of this Author.

His writings are like an unspeakably beautiful Orchard, through which one cannot walk without (now and then) plucking a beautiful flower (for the sake of the sweet scent)
