The following is an excerpt from the section, "To the Reader," from Propagation of the Gospel in the East, Being an Account of the Success of the Danish Missionaries, Sent to the East Indies (1714) by Bartholomaeus Ziegenbalg.

The Conversion of the Gentiles to the Knowledge of Jesus Christ, is a Matter of Joy and Exultation to all such, as wish to see the Church in a better State, than wherein she doth appear at present. Whosoever maketh the Interest of the Lord his own, and doth not act upon a Principle separate from that of his Master, Must needs rejoice at the Enlargement of Christ's Kingdom upon Earth; particularly, if the parched Wilderness of the Pagan World should once begin to flourish, and the barren Church of the Gentiles shout for Joy, at the numerous Company of Children she is to bring forth. But as this is a Work of Time, so our waiting is like the waiting of the Husbandman, who, after he hath done his Labour, expecteth with Patience the joyful Day of the Harvest.
