To the READER.
Christian Reader;
These ensuing Letters do represent unto thee, and to the Churches, the outgoings of Christ, as a Light to the Gentiles, that the grace which brings Salvation hath appeared unto them also in the furthest parts of the Earth, for the accomplishment of that ancient and glorious Promise; I will give thee for a Light to the Gentiles, that thou mayst be my Salvation to the Ends of the Earth, (Isa. 49. 6.) The People of God have been greatly affected with the appearances of Christ, when he hath rode forth upon a red Horse to the destruction of his Enemies; for he is glorious in his Apparel, even when his garments are dipped in blood, but much more when he rides forth upon a white Horse, for the Conversion of Souls, and goes on Conquering and to Conquer.
