a_o beam_n of_o light_n dart_v through_o the_o cloud_n or_o truth_n break_v forth_o from_o under_o a_o veil_n by_o joshua_n miller_n zach._n 14.7_o but_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o pass_v that_o at_o the_o evening_n time_n it_o shall_v be_v light_a london_n print_v for_o h._n c._n and_o l._n l._n 1650._o to_o the_o honourable_a the_o commissioner_n for_o the_o county_n of_o glamorgan_n when_o i_o observe_v the_o vicissitude_n and_o change_n god_n make_v upon_o the_o world_n it_o put_v i_o to_o a_o stand_v how_o to_o call_v man_n honourable_a but_o consider_v the_o noble_a title_n that_o god_n himself_o give_v to_o man_n in_o authority_n psal_n 82.6_o as_o i_o have_v say_v you_o be_v god_n have_v the_o most_o ancient_a author_n i_o shall_v not_o err_v to_o call_v you_o honourable_a this_o last_o age_n be_v a_o time_n wherein_o truth_n be_v much_o increase_v arid_a much_o controvert_v and_o that_o glorious_a liberty_n truth_n bring_v in_o be_v much_o abuse_v by_o misconstruction_n and_o indeed_o the_o mist_n be_v yet_o so_o great_a which_o make_v most_o man_n stumble_v for_o want_v of_o daylight_n yet_o our_o good_a god_n have_v promise_v esa_n 30_o 26._o that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n shall_v be_v sevenfold_a and_o such_o as_o will_v not_o see_v shall_v see_v and_o be_v ashamed_a i_o have_v more_o than_o ordinary_a ground_n to_o believe_v your_o zealous_a affection_n to_o truth_n which_o work_v in_o i_o a_o boldness_n to_o present_v this_o small_a book_n to_o your_o view_n it_o be_v but_o a_o blossom_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n which_o may_v prove_v sweet_a to_o the_o taste_n and_o pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n if_o divine_o understand_v for_o i_o judge_v your_o mind_n like_v to_o that_o noble_a speech_n of_o artaxerxes_n who_o say_v it_o become_v a_o noble_a mind_n as_o well_o to_o accept_v small_a thing_n from_o other_o as_o to_o give_v great_a thing_n to_o they_o nay_o god_n himself_o give_v the_o great_a good_a to_o man_n and_o accept_v the_o small_a return_n from_o they_o so_o i_o trust_v the_o small_a volume_n may_v be_v read_v by_o you_o as_o well_o as_o the_o great_a yet_o will_v i_o not_o use_v your_o name_n for_o patronage_n not_o account_v any_o book_n worth_a a_o patron_n which_o have_v not_o truth_n to_o patronize_v it_o which_o if_o this_o have_v not_o i_o shall_v be_v as_o unwilling_a to_o set_v your_o name_n as_o my_o own_o before_o it_o but_o know_v you_o be_v as_o desirous_a to_o know_v truth_n as_o myself_o to_o search_v after_o it_o you_o will_v do_v well_o to_o follow_v the_o wise_a berean_o to_o try_v all_o thing_n i_o confess_v when_o i_o due_o ponder_v how_o all_o write_n in_o this_o age_n be_v gloss_v upon_o by_o the_o opinionative_n fancy_n of_o man_n most_o speak_v not_o as_o this_o truth_n require_v nor_o yet_o as_o the_o author_n mean_v i_o then_o have_v some_o thought_n to_o have_v keep_v these_o thing_n in_o my_o breast_n where_o they_o first_o burn_v rather_o than_o send_v they_o abroad_o to_o be_v descant_v upon_o by_o man_n judgement_n but_o find_v the_o fire_n to_o kindle_v it_o must_v break_v forth_o and_o have_v great_a argument_n from_o the_o author_n of_o truth_n than_o its_o controverter_n know_v that_o no_o truth_n be_v the_o worse_a because_o man_n disrelish_v it_o and_o from_o that_o sweet_a comfort_n and_o delight_n i_o have_v then_o in_o write_v it_o i_o think_v it_o better_a to_o lay_v myself_o open_a to_o any_o censure_n then_o to_o conceal_v any_o thing_n which_o may_v by_o the_o divine_a power_n conduce_v to_o the_o cast_v down_o of_o darkness_n in_o its_o principle_n as_o for_o that_o trust_n god_n have_v now_o after_o so_o many_o contest_v put_v into_o your_o hand_n you_o will_v do_v well_o in_o all_o your_o affair_n to_o look_v up_o unto_o the_o author_n of_o this_o honour_n and_o the_o end_n for_o which_o he_o have_v thus_o exalt_v you_o and_o if_o you_o act_n according_a to_o his_o direction_n which_o be_v for_o truth_n righteousness_n and_o a_o just_a liberty_n as_o i_o have_v great_a hope_n god_n have_v now_o give_v you_o this_o power_n for_o this_o end_n that_o those_o poor_a dark_a country_n where_o the_o light_n of_o our_o good_a god_n have_v not_o yet_o shine_v that_o you_o may_v be_v restorer_n of_o path_n to_o dwell_v in_o furtherer_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o do_v these_o thing_n god_n may_v fulfil_v that_o promise_n to_o we_o by_o you_o as_o to_o be_v nursing-fathers_n to_o these_o orphan-like_a country_n and_o methinks_v i_o see_v god_n point_v out_o glorious_a thing_n by_o you_o in_o be_v

you_o without_o any_o flattery_n that_o your_o honour_n will_v be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a title_n it_o will_v be_v emblazon_v in_o the_o divine_a heraldry_n where_o your_o name_n in_o no_o age_n
