由威廉·H·格罗斯（William H. Gross）格式化、现代化并注释，www.onthewing.org，2020年7月
In the almost total absence of original papers of any kind, from Mr. Hooker’s pen, the author has been compelled to rely principally upon matter, relative to him, which was incidental in Puritan and New England history, and scattered through many volumes in various libraries, and upon many thousands of pages.
在几乎没有任何霍克尔先生原始文献的情况下，作者不得不主要依赖与他相关的材料，这些材料在清教徒和新英格兰的历史中是偶然出现的，分散在许多图书馆的多卷书籍中，跨越了成千上万的页面。
The reader will find in this volume, therefore, little of autobiography.
因此，读者在本书中将几乎找不到自传性的内容。
The history of Mr. Hooker’s life in Connecticut, especially, has been found merged in the civil and religious history of the State.
特别是霍克尔先生在康涅狄格州的生平，已被融入该州的民事和宗教历史之中。
The scantiness of original materials has been rendered a matter for special regret, from the belief that there have been in existence rich materials for a far fuller biography, had they been carefully preserved.
原始资料的匮乏令人深感遗憾，因为人们相信，如果这些资料被妥善保存，曾经存在着丰富的素材，足以撰写一部更为完整的传记。
At the taking down of the old parsonage house of the First Congregational Church in Hartford, about thirty years ago, a large quantity of ancient papers was found, supposed to be those of Rev. Thomas Hooker; and they were thrown into Connecticut river by persons employed in the work, who were either ignorant or thoughtless of their value.
大约三十年前，在拆除哈特福德第一公理教会的旧牧师住宅时，发现了大量古老的文件，据信是托马斯·霍克尔牧师的遗物；这些文件被参与拆迁工作的人扔进了康涅狄格河，这些人要么对文件的价值一无所知，要么对其价值漠不关心。
If anything would justify a State enactment, making the careless or wanton destruction of ancient manuscript papers a felony, and punishable as such, the occurrence of such cases as this — which are frequent — would seem to do so.
如果有任何事情能够证明应该通过州法律，将粗心或肆意毁坏古代手稿文件定为重罪并予以惩罚，那么像这样的事件——其实是频繁发生的——似乎就足以证明这一点。
If, like many good and great men, Thomas Hooker was accustomed to record, in a journal form or otherwise, interesting incidents in his own life, his religious exercises, and results of his experience and observation as a Christian citizen and a minister, such records have been hopelessly put beyond the reach of any biographer.
如果像许多优秀的伟大人物一样，托马斯·霍克尔习惯以日记形式或其他方式记录自己生活中的有趣事件、宗教修行以及作为基督徒公民和牧师的经验与观察成果，那么这些记录早已无法为任何传记作者所获得。
With its many imperfections, from whatever cause, the present volume is commended to the lovers of the Puritan character and principles, in hope that it will be found not altogether without value, as a small contribution to the stock of Christian biography.
尽管本书因各种原因存在诸多不足，但仍推荐给那些喜爱清教徒特质和原则的读者，希望它作为基督教传记的小小贡献，能够被发现并非毫无价值。
