Upon Truth's Victory Over Error

Do you desire this treasure to be yours, of sacred truths, and oracles divine. A fiery pillar radiantly bright: Come: it will guide you in the darkest night. Through seas, and rocks, and mountains, on each hand, through wildernesses to Canaan's land. By Holy Writ the truth it verifies, by Holy Writ confutes all heresies. Though short, yet clear, for both do well agree to make your path unerring to you. As Ophir's gold, which from Malacca came, made Solomon on earth the richest man. So will this book make rich your heart and mind, with divine wisdom, knowledge of all kind. You richer make than Croesus of great name, you wiser make than Solon of great fame. Than all the seven wise sages, Greece's glory, I do protest it's true, and is no story.
