Opening of the book

Transcriber's Note: Corrections suggested in the Corrigenda, p.

[viii] of the original text, have been made. Section number added for

L 3.9, since both the translator's preface and the index refer to it.

Footnotes gathered at the ends of chapters. Typographical errors in two Scriptural quotations have been corrected: In L 21 note 10, I have changed "Quæ præparavit Deus iis qui" to "Quæ præparavit Deus his qui;" and in L 29 note 12, I have changed "As the longing of the heart" to "As the longing of the hart."
