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

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

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
