Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Welshman's Candle: Or the Divine Poems
As the, Tranflator afiumes no 'more Merit to himfelf from this Performance than that it is the, only Tran?ation of Mr. Prirbard's Poems, hitherto publifh'd, lb he thinks himfelf accountable for the Errors of 11m: alone. As. To the original Faults oand Imperfections of the Work itfelf, or the erroneous Doctrines it may contain, if any, he does not think himfelf refpom'ible for them but {hall leave the Author (as Mr. Pope fays) to anfwer for them himlelfg - and that he may very well do, fince, like Abel, tho'dead, He yet fpeaketh, in this his Work which he has left behind him. Iwou'd therefore adv1fe the minor Critics, both in Poetry and Divinity, to take heed how they attack htm, - at leali, 'till they {hall have, firfi: of all, frequently and carefully read over their Bibles; for I can affure them that they will find him, like Apot'lor, {trong and mighty in the Scriptures - and, indeed, if I may be allow'd to lpeak, I look upon this whole Work of our Author's, to be an Aflemblage of many of the molt infirruétive and didactic Parts of Scripture.
