He concludes with this last paragraph.
We would conclude by repeating that the reward to be reaped from studying Owen is worth all the labour involved, and by making the following observations for the student’s guidance. (1.) It is important to start with the epistle “To the Reader,” for there Owen indicates in short compass what he is trying to do, and why. (2.) It is important to read the treatise as a whole, in the order in which it stands, and not to jump into parts III. and IV. before mastering the contents of Parts I. and II., where the biblical foundations of Owen’s whole position are laid. (3.) It is hardly possible to grasp the strength and cogency of this massive statement on a first reading. The work must be read and re-read to be appreciated.
Owens' entire works can be found at the site.

It was originally published in 1667.
As Packer says the epistle "To the Reader" is well worth reading.
You can find that short chapter here at this link or within the larger document above.

As you read to the close, you can see that Owens would fit well in with many in the discernment ministries today.
