THE ARGVMENT.
This booke is intituled after the name of Ruth: which is the principall person spoken of in this treatise.
Wherein also figuratiuely is set forth the state of the Church which is subiect to manifolde afflictions,
and yet at length God giueth good and ioyfull i&esset;ue: teaching vs to abide with patience till God deliuer vs
out of troubles. Herein also is described how Iesus Christ, who according to the flesh ought to come of Dauid,
proceeded of Ruth, of whom the Lord Iesus did vouchsafe to come, notwithstanding she was a Moabite
of base condition, and a stranger from the people of God: declaring vnto vs thereby that the Gentiles
should be sanctified by him, and ioyned with his people, and that there should be but one sheepefolde, and one
shepheard. And it seemeth that this historie appertaineth to the time of the Iudges.
