John Gywn-Thomas
preacher of grace,
shepherd of souls
and
Raymond Johnston
champion of truth
campaigner for righteousness,
both of whom knew what the Puritans were about
and shared their wisdom with me.
immoveable in all times, so that they

have lost the view of true religion,
may return to him and there find it.
