Containing—Seven Days Entertainment, in
many pleasant and witty Tales or Stories.
Wherein the Treachery of Evil Counfeliors
is discovered ; lunocency cleared ; and the
(Wisdom of Seven Wife Mfhclfo displayed.
PREFACE to THz READER.
I HIS (mall volume of Tales and Stories is
I collected for thy diversion and inftruaien, &:
I may serve to ihow thee what subtle devices
&;! maliciousaccufations were formerly laid
to attain to grandeur, and gratify malicious *
and ambitious perlons. #
Here you may observe, that the intent of
this fmail bock (written in an allegorical arid
, pleasant method) is to promote tinceriry and
fidelity, and to discountenance treachery arg
falfehood. ( If you are inclined to virtue,
here are precedents to dirtd you ; if toinno
cence, here are rules to infttua you; and if
you would avoid vice, here are examples
< which let before you thelcandal and misery
which attenda vicious life. In a word, you
may here learn to despise vanity, to prize in
nocence, to expert death, to escape hell, and
to obtain heaven. ''
You willfind the historical p,rt interspers
ed with curious leffops (o # please the fancy,
delight the mind, flutpen the wit, and ilium,
inare the understanding The mof^l part,
inftruds the mind in the knowledge and pre
cepts of virtue, as the iilforical delights the
fancy and improves the judgment.
This (mall bock likewise, by the diverting
ftorfes therein, encourages arid allures chil
dren and youth to learn to read ; for which
end if is written in an intelligible Ityle.
