AND NOW, O THOU GLORIOUS FOUNTAIN OF UNCREATED LIGHT, LORD JESUS CHRIST-ETERNAL WORD-BRIGHT EFFULGENCE OF THY FATHER'S GLORY-WONDERFUL COUNSELLOR-FATHER OF THE EVERLASTING AGE-THE ROOT AND OFFSPRING OF DAVID-THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STARTHE PRINCE of the KINGS OF THE EARTH-THE LAMB THAT WAST SLAIN, WHO ART ABOUT TO COME, WITH CLOUDS, TO BREAK IN PIECES THE KINGDOMS OF THE HEATHEN, AND ESTABLISH THY EVERLASTING KINGDOM OF PEACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS : LOOK, O LORD JESUS, WITH FAVOUR ON THIS HUMBLE WORK. FORGIVE IN IT THAT WHICH IS OF THINE UNWORTHY Servant, for all that is of the CREATURE IS DARKNESS. BLESS IN IT THAT WHICH IS THINE, FOR ALL TRUTH IS THINE, BY MAKING THIS BOOK TO SEND ABROAD THE KNOWLEDGE of thine owN APOCALYPSE, through the TEACHING OF THE HOLY GHOST; AND GRACIOUSLY ACCEPT AT THE HAND OF THINE UNWORTHY SERVANT OF THIS OFFERING TO THEE, HIS SAVIOUR AND HIS GOD. THOU KNOWEST, O LORD, WITH WHAT DEPTH OF MEDITATION AND ARDOUR OF PURSUIT THY SERVANT HATH SOUGHT THE TRUTH; AND O GRANT THAT IN THAT DAY WHEN HE SHALL STAND BEFORE THY DREAD AND IMPARTIAL TRIBUNAL, IT MAY BE ACCEPTED

AS AN EVIDENCE THAT HE HATH NOT HID THE ONE TALENT OF THEE HIS LORD AND MASTER IN A NAPKIN, BUT HATH RENDERED TO THEE THINE OWN WITH SOME INCREASE.AMEN.

November 5th, 1832.
