BE not offended most dear Reader that divers things are oversee ne through negligence in this little treatise. For verily the chance was such / that I marvel that it is so well as it is Moreover it becometh the book even so to come as a mourner and in vile apparel to wait on his master which showeth him self now again not in honour and glory / as between Moses and Elijah: but in rebuke and shame as between two murderers / to try his true friends and to prove whether there be any faith on the earth.
