An engraving serves as the frontispiece, divided into three sections. In the top-left, a bearded man in clerical robes, Johann Arndt, sits at a desk while an angel appears and says, "Take and write." In the top-right, a man sits in a library or garden while a divine hand reaches from the clouds holding a book, and a beam of light contains the words, "Take and read." The bottom section shows a large scene of a soldier in ornate armor with a shield and plume, standing before a distant army. The signatures of Johann Christoph Leydenfrost and C. H. Müller appear at the bottom.
