Preface.

God, the Father of all
grace and mercy /
grant us His grace / and
open our eyes / so
that we may also recognize
the fruits of the good tree In a 17th-century spiritual context, the "good tree" refers to the biblical metaphor from the Gospels (e.g., Matthew 7:17), where a good tree produces good fruit, signifying a heart transformed by faith. /
and the LORD
Christ /
and eternally become blessed through Him,
Amen.
