¶ A prologue to the Epistle of Paul to the Romans.
¶ A prologe to the Epistle of Paule to the Romayns.
For as much as this pistle is the principal and most excellent part of the new etestam•t / and most pure Evangelion / that is to say glad tidings & that we call gospel / & also a light & a way in unto the hole scripture / I think it mete / that every Christen man not only know it by rote and with out the book / but also exercise him self therein evermore continually / as with the daily breed of the soul. No man verily can read it to oft or study it to well: for the more it is studied the easier it is / the more it is chewed the pleasanter it is / and the more groundely it is searched the precio set things are found in it / so great treasure of spiritual things lieth hid therein.
