County of Cardigan. Honoured Sir,-Great many are the obligations, &c. . . . that moved me to request your patronage. . . . First in the nature so far befriended in my birth as to be a native both of your neighbourhood and county. Likewise . . . . that acquaintance I had with your Honour in the days of infancy the renovation of which especially, when I had intelligence of your late approach to London, and the honour of your courteous visit at my habitation. More I might still nominate as touching your candid deportment towards my parentage, and that my affections and amity my father continually enjoyed from the bounty of your noble progeny. I observed the caution of the wise man, Prov. 22, 10, Thine own friend and thy father's friend forsake not. . . . .The first fruits of my intellectual productions. . . . .Sir, your Honour's most humble, devoted, and submissive to command, William Williams." Mae yr Encomium ar gân. Wele enghraifft:—
"'Tis known your county echoes forth that fame
Emhellishing your true Britanick name,
The which I more respect, because that mine
Likewise is British, from Britanick line."

"
We all things have Christ; and Christ is all,
And every thing to those on Him that call;
For instance, when our sins our soul make sick,
Physitian-like, does search us to the quick,
By lancing our corruptions, so that we
From sinful ulcers are by him set free;
He pours the oil and balm in every woand
Of sin-sick souls to cure and make them sound."
Enghraifft o'i "Spiritual Hymns:"
"
"I am defiled sin me beguiled,
So wretched is my case
Since Adam's fall — that I and all
God's image did deface."
