The Typographical ERRORS in the Introduction and Little Book, being more numerous than I expected, I only enumerate a few, that the possessors of the Books may with their pens make the proper alterations, as they are material mistakes from the Press.

PREFACE.

GOD being all in all with me, I introduce the second supplement with an explanation of the fourteen first verses of the gospel by John, founded upon the two words "beginning" and "power," and upon the plan of elucidation.

In the beginning was the word (or command), and the word (or command) was with (proceeding from) God, and the word was God (God's word, or the word of God). The same (word, orders, directions, or commands) was in the beginning with (proceeding from) God. (Now it is much more probable that the word should mean command, than having an allusion to a supremely favoured, and now exalted human being.) All things were made by him (God); and without him (God) was not any thing made that was made. In him (God) was life (or had the power); and the life (or the power of God) was the light of men (knowledge, or power given to man-See the 12th verse). And the light (or illumination from

God) shineth in darkness; and the darkness (in man) comprehended it not. There was a man sent from (or appointed by) God, whose name was John : The same came (or was appointed by God) for a witness, to bear witness of the light (the illuminating power sent from God), that all men through him (John) might believe. He (John) was not that light, but was sent (or appointed Ly Ged) to bear witness of that light. That was the true light (an illumination from God) which lighteth every man that cometh into the world (giveth him his reason which makes him superior to the brute creation.) He (God's power, or the power of the Almigh ty) was in the world and the world was made by him (God); and the world knew him not (God.) He (his power, or the power of God) came unto his own (creatures), and his own (creatures) received him not. But (here the word but is a break in the procm, the subject, or scene changes) as many as received him (which is the messenger of the covenant), to them gave he power (by his mission) to become the sons of God, (God will be a grateful Father, if we will be obedient children) even to them that believe on his name (believe in the call, or mission he has given): Which were born, not of
