PROPOSALS For Printing ( by Subscription ) an EXPOSITION On the whole Book of CANTICLES , BY THE Late Reverend and Learned Divine JOHN DAVENPORT of New-England : Recommended by the Persons under-nam'd , and a Specimen of the said Book annex'd .

BY what we have read of the Reverend and Learned Mr. Davenport , his Practical Commentary on the Book of Canticles ( having not time to read it thorow ) we see just cause to Recommend it ; for what explains these ordinary [ yet sublime ] Metaphors , cannot but be acceptable to the most Spiritual Christians ; and this with the Blessing of God ( which we implore will enlighten their Vnderstandings , and warm their Affections towards their beloved Jesus .

We easily grant , that you may find in it some Sentiments different from ours ; but we are as willing to hope , that all Serious Christians have ( ere this at least ) effectually learnt heartily to agree in the great Truths here explained , tho they differ in some lesser things ; our differences shew our imperfect State ; but to improve the Scope of this Treatise , will singularly contribute to the raising of us up towards that Perfection which is peculiar to the other World.

In short , the Author was a Master-Builder in the Church of Christ , whose Name is Precious both in Europe and America ; and that alone without any Recommendation , may be sufficient to invite all Serious Christians that have ever heard of him , to promote this Work : As for those that are Strangers to him , we heartily recommend it to them , and doubt not but they will find that in it , which will more than Recompence whatever Encouragement they give it . That it may be greatly beneficial to the Church of Christ , is the hearty desire of

Your Servants for Christ's sake , S. ANNESLEY , ED. VEAL .
I. That the Book will contain One hundred Sheets , which shall be the same for Paper and Print with this Specimen . II.
