Beloved,
IT's grown a custom, that every book, whose soever, or of whatsoever subject, must be presented to you in state, with some prescript purposely. Were it not that Custom is a Tyrant, this labour might now be spared. Such matter, from such an Elder as here follows, needs no epistle of recommendation.

The divine light, which radiated into his breast, displays it self in many other of his labours, but yet is no where more condensed than in this following. It's truly said of Moses, by faith he saw him that was invisible, Heb. 11. 27.
