Excerpt from An Exposition of the Prophecy of Hosea The purpose of this preface is, to consign the passport through the world of these last notes of the author upon this prophecy, namely, the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth chapters; and to assure the reader, that they are the best and most genuine that can be expected, being collected out of those under his hand, all along, and the best copies of those that took them from his mouth; and to subjoin this hearty prayer, for a blessing from Heaven on these, and the rest of these our brother's labours that are published, that his works may follow him, and he receive (at the latter day) a full reward, even according to the fruit of his doings.
