Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Doct. I. But first, we must look off all other things, the note is this, We must take oflc our mind from every thing which might divert us in our Christian race from looking unto Jesus. Aphorontes, the first word, or first piece of a word in my text, speaks to us thus, hands off, Or eyes off from anything that stands in the way of Jesus Christ. I remember it was written over Plato's door, There's none may come hither that is not a geometer. But on the door of my text is written clean contrary: N o earthly-minded man must enter here.
