that their use in Floral decoration may not 

 be misunderstood, or misinterpreted, so as to 

 be taken for dark or dumb ceremonies ; 

 but be so set forth, that every man may 

 understand what they do mean, and to what 

 use they do serve." 



With a hearty desire that the book may be 

 found useful ; and that the information in its 

 pages may conduce to the procuring of Reve- 

 rence, and exciting of piety and devotion in the 

 publick worship of God," the Author sends it 

 forth to the world, ^^with all its imperfections 

 on its head."
