Poetical Commendation of David Dickson's Truth's Victory Over Error:

UPON TRUTH'S VICTORY OVER ERROR

Dost thou desire this treasure to be thine,
Of sacred truths, and oracles divine,
A fiery pillar radiantly bright?
Come, it will guide thee in the darkest night:
Through seas, and rocks, and mountains on each hand,
Through wilderness 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 thy path unerring unto thee.
As Ophir's gold, which from Malacca came,
Made Solomon on earth the richest man,
So will this book make rich thy heart and mind,
With divine wisdom, knowledge of all kind.
Thee richer make, than Croesus of great name,
Thee 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.
