The knowlege of manie and great thinges hath bene
shewed vs by the Law, and the Prophetes, and others
that folowed them: in which we ought note to prayse Israel
for doctrine & wisdom: because not onlie they in speaking
must nedes be cunning, but strangers also both lerning & writing,
may become most lerned. My grandfather Iesus, after he gaue
himselfe more amply to the diligence of reading the Law, and the
Prophetes, and other Bookes, that were deliuered vs from our
fathers: himself also would write some of those thinges, which
perteyne to doctrine and wisdom: that such as are desirous to
lerne, and to be made counning in the same thinges, may more

according to the law. I exhort you therfore to come with beneuolence,

no smal nor contemptible doctrine. Therfore myself also thought
it good, and necessarie ta adde some diligence and labour to interprete
this booke: and with much watching I brought forth this
doctrin in space of time, that men may lerne those thinges which
teach them, that wil applie their minde, how they ought to order
their maners, them that purpose to lead their life according to the
Law of our Lord.
