A beam of light, shining in the midst of much darkness and confusion: being (with the benefit of retrospection) an essay toward the stating (and fixing upon its true and proper basis) the best cause under heaven: viz. the cause of God, of Christ, of his people, of the whole creation, that groans and waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. By Chr. Feake, preacher of the gospel of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ.

London printed, by J.C. for Livewell Chapman, at the Crown in Popes-head Alley 1659.
