THE PREFACE TO THE READER.
text of the holy Testament. Fare wel good Reader, and if we profit the any whit by our poore paines let vs for God’s sake be partakers of thy devout prayers, & together with humble and contrit hart call vpon our Sauiour Christ to cease these troubles and stormes of his dearest Spouse: in the meane time comforting ourselues with this saying of S. Augustin: That Heretikes, when they receiue power corporally to afflict the Church, doe exercise her patience: but when they oppugne her only by their euil doctrine or opinions, then they exercise her wisedom. De ciuit. Dei li. 18. ca. 51.
