To the Reader. who ordain'd, that all the Bible from Geneſis to the end of Malachy be called Canonical, and, alſo the New Teſtament, the other Apocrypha. And alſo the hard words I have explained, as of Office Sects, Phariſees, Herodians, Terrarch, Profelite Legion, Stoicks, and divers others; being very uſeful for all people that can read the Bible, where by they will come to know the exceeding riches of King David, Solomon, and the Queen  Sheba, there being no Emperor, King, Prince  Potentat now in the World, or ever were  that hath, or had the like; and alſo other  in thoſe times. All which is fully mentioned what follows. The like never before in ſo a way for all perſons that can read Engliſh, where by their knowledge may be encreaſed, their underſtandings bettered; and all to the Glory of Almighty , is the deſire of him who doth publiſh it for a general Good.
