“Gleaning from Puritan Prayers” was born out of the desire to see a no-cost alternative to the more popular “on the market” books on Puritan Prayers.
《拾取清教徒的祷告》（Gleaning from Puritan Prayers）一书的诞生，是出于一种愿望，即希望看到一本免费的替代读物，来取代市面上那些更受欢迎的关于清教徒祷告的书籍。
Having been a co-operative effort from two members of the Facebook forum “Gleaning from the Puritans,” (as the title of the book is a small nod to,) we are able to see firsthand many fellow Brothers and Sisters who equally enjoy and find edification in the writings of the Puritans, but not having the same access to for-cost Puritan Prayer books so easily accessible in the West.
本书是 Facebook 论坛“拾取清教徒著作”（Gleaning from the Puritans，本书的书名也是对此的小小致敬）两名成员合作努力的成果，我们得以亲眼看到许多同样喜爱清教徒著作并从中得到造就的弟兄姐妹，却无法像西方那样轻易获得那些需要付费的清教徒祷告书。
With this in mind, we set out to remedy this plight by bringing together a collection of various Puritan Prayers to be published, at no cost, at least in digital form.
考虑到这一点，我们着手汇集各种清教徒的祷告文并出版，至少以数字形式免费发布，以解决这一困境。
The most gracious assistance from Monergism has made this possible.
Monergism 最仁慈的帮助使这成为可能。
The process of choosing the prayers for this book was to look at the popular lists of known Puritan & Non-Conformists authors, and utilize their created works on prayer.
为本书挑选祷告文的过程是，查看知名的清教徒和不从国教者（Non-Conformists）作者的流行列表，并利用他们创作的关于祷告的著作。
We sought to do this instead of choosing a broad selection of individual prayers, or, mixing various prayers to create new ones, or, creating new prayers based on “Puritan” style.
我们寻求这样做，而不是选择广泛的个别祷告文，或者混合各种祷告文来创造新的，或者基于“清教徒”风格创作新的祷告文。
This is why you will see the chapter headings, at least in the digital publication, denote the author and subsequent work instead of individual headings on specific topics of prayer.
这就是为什么你会看到章节标题（至少在数字出版物中）标明的是作者及其随后的著作，而不是针对特定祷告主题的单独标题。
Within that authors specific work there will be scores of prayers on different subjects.
在该作者的特定著作中，会有许多关于不同主题的祷告文。
These Puritan prayers, are purely Puritan prayers.
这些清教徒的祷告，是纯粹的清教徒祷告。
They are the prayers in the author’s own writings, and the only editing done is to update spelling, and only modernize the most archaic words.
它们是作者自己著作中的祷告文，所做的唯一编辑工作是更新拼写，并仅将最古老的词汇现代化。
We have chosen to break up the collection into at least 3 Vols.
我们选择将该合集分为至少三卷。
Included within the 3 Vols. will be, Lord Willing, the prayers from the Puritan & Non-Conformist works below.
若主愿意，这三卷书中将包含以下清教徒和不从国教者著作中的祷告文。
We hope this publication blesses you, and proves to be useful, especially in the intended goal; that it would draw us closer to our Lord, and that all would be able to enjoy and be edified by “Gleaning from Puritan Prayers” regardless of income or region.
我们希望这本出版物能祝福你们，并证明是有用的，特别是在预期的目标上；即它能吸引我们更亲近我们的主，并且无论收入或地区如何，所有人都能享受《拾取清教徒的祷告》并从中得到造就。
