Asune. Sir, I will now take my leave of you. I can never be thankful enough for all the good instructions and comforts which I have heard from you this day; I hope I shall remember some of them whilst I live: I do therefore praise God for you, and for your counsel, and for this day, which I hope shall be the first day of my repentance, and true conversion unto God.

Theologus pardon ⟨p. 395⟩my boldness: for you see I have been very bold to propound many questions unto you, wherein you have fully satisfied me, to the great joy and comfort of my soul.
