There is a story of a King of France named ladoveyus, that when he was converted to Christianity, one day hearing Remigius the Bishop reading the Gospel of our Saviours passion, he presently fell into this passionate expression, O that I had been but there with my French-men, I would have cut all their throats; little considering that his and others iniquities were Christs greatest and most ⟨p. 302⟩cruel enemies.

Ah what a sickness is sin, when nothing less then the blood of the Son of God can heal it!
