A Photographic Reproduction of the
Title Page of the Original Printing which was over
500 pages in length.This authentic manuscript from the17th century has been out of print for a very long time and has been quite inaccessible to the general public.
The original printing of this book was 509 pages in length; for that reason, the electronic text has been transcribed into 4 segments in order to manage the file size for ease of downloading and printing.
This on-line reproduction presents the authentic old manuscript "as close to the original as possible" — rendering the text and appearance of the 1696 printing without any interpretation or commentary — both of which are here left for the Spirit of Truth, who will always provide for the seeking and humble in heart.
Due to the length of this manuscript, the on-line transcription of this Authentic Version is presented in 4 consecutive files. This will facilitate ease of downloading and printing.
