The principal end whereunto I tend in this Dialogue, is to procure men to search and to enquire of the will of God, by such means as he hath given us in his holy word, & sacred Scriptures, to the end ye they may know how to frame & govern them selves according to the same: and that they give them selves to that study before all other things, in the most diligent and earnest wise that shall be possible for them to do, without any delay at all: And that they do thereof very well consider, seeing the great mischiefs and inconveniences into the which men may fall, for not so doing, and the great profit and commodity that may come unto them, if they do so diligently employ them selves in the study thereof, as they ought to do.
