Excerpt from The Articles of Christian Instruction in Favorlang-Formosan, Dutch and English: From Vertrecht's Manuscript of 1650; With Psalmanazar's Dialogue Between a Japanese and a Formosan and Happart's Favorlang Vocabulary

And yet, who knows but the recent cession of Formosa to Japan may turn out to be God's own way of work ing out a much grander development? Whenever the victorious troops had taken possession of the island, two Japanese ordained Commissioners were sent by their Presbyterian Synod to ascertain its increased responsi bilities; and those friends were filled with grateful surprise to see the field already occupied by two vigorous Missions having more than one hundred congregations connected with them; whereupon they gave something like an assurance to the resident missionaries that any aggressive work the Synod might enter upon would be confined to immigrants from Japan, and to districts where no other brethren were labouring. Surely action like this is fitted to cheer the heart and to open another 'door of hope' for people still sitting in the region and shadow of death.
