TOGETHER WITH
An Address to those who have an Intention of entering upon
that important Character.

For which of you intending to build a tower, sitteth not down
first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

Lest haply after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to
finish it, all that behold it, begin to mock him.

Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
