¹ The Hebrew epistle referred to is a translation by the author of a section of this title page. It is printed by itself on one of the preliminary leaves in somewhat archaic characters, and reads as follows:――

מזרה ישראל ᵃיקבצנו׃

* * * * *

ᴮמנחה היא ליהודה ולבני ישראל חבריו וליוסף אשר ביד אפרים וכל בית ישראל וישבו ᵈ׃ ימציאם אלהים חן ᶜהבריו ובקשו את יהוה אלהיהם ואת דויד מלכם באחרית ᵉהימים

ᶠעמוס חּ גּ אדני יהוה דבר מי לא ינבא

ᵃ Jeremiah xxxi. 10. ᵇ Genesis xxxii. 19. ᶜ Ezekiel xxxvii. 16. ᵈ Proverbs iii. 4. ᵉ Hosea iii. 5. ᶠ Amos iii. 8.

The British Museum, and the Mocatta Library, in University College, have copies, without the first title page (The Worlds Great Restauration) and Gouge’s preliminary leaf “To the Reader.” Probably issued in this state after the incarceration of Finch and Gouge.
