Albeit that the little titles which I make of the principal points which are entreated of in this Dialogue, may sufficiently advertise the readers of those matters that are therein handled, & of the fruit that may come thereof: yet notwithstanding I have thought it good to advertise them in the beginning of every Dialogue, of the effect of every of them, comprehending in general y• which afterward is debated of in particular. Concerning this present Dialogue, I do declare in it in what sort god gave his law to his people, by his servant Moses, & to what end, & how it ought to be used, & what council he held by mean thereof in the mount Sinai, & what things ought to be considered therein. And after that I do show in what sort this general Council doth lead us unto the other which followeth, being holden & celebrated in the mount Zion & in Jerusalem, & how those councils contain in them all such doctrine as is necessary for the church of God. Wherefore I have named it The resolution of the Councils, wherein there is also spoken of the difference & agreement y• is between the old & new testament, the law & the Gospel, & of the ministry of the one & the other, & of the diversity and of the usage of the laws given by Moses. & of his office, and of Jesus Christ.

ALbeit yt the little titles which I make of the principal pointes which are entreated of in this Dialogue, may sufficientlye aduertise the readers of those matters yt are therin handled, & of the fruit that maye come thereof: yet notwtstanding I haue thought it good to aduertise them in the beginning of euery Dialogue, of the effect of euery of them, cōprehending in general y which afterward is debated of in particular. Concerning this present Dialogue, I do declare in it in what sort god gaue his law to his people, by his seruant Moyses, & to what ende, & how it ought to be vsed, & what councell he helde by meane therof in the mount Synay, & what things ought to be considered therin. And after that I do shew in what sorte thys general Councel doth lead vs vnto ye other which foloweth, being holden & celebrated in the mount Sion & in Ierusalem, & how those councels conteine in them al such doctrine as is necessary for the church of God. Wherfore I haue named it The resolucion of the Councels, wherein there is also spoken of the difference & agrement y is betwene the olde & new testamēnt, the law & the Gospel, & of the ministerye of the one & the other, & of the diuersity and of the vsage of the lawes geuē by Moyses. & of his office, and of Iesus Christ.
