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.
