Reader looke well on DIODATI, more
Vppon the Golden worke he stands before.
Lest in the Scriptures Labyrinth thy minde
Should snare and lose it selfe, heer thou mayst finde
A Clue that will through each mysterious storie
Lead thee from earth vp to the throne of Glorie,
Wher thy well-guided soule shall once meet his
Whoe heer directs thee to eternall bliss.
