This book is very needful for these misguided and distraught times. It received the name or title of THE NET OF FAITH which was written (and) composed by a man, honest, noble and holy in the hope of God, richly endowed for this task by the bounty of our Lord and filled with the wisdom of the Holy Spirit; and his name is Peter of Chelčice. Which man was shining with the inward gifts of God in the days of Master Rokycana, well-known to the master since he often abode in his presence. The said Peter has written many divers and most useful and necessary books about the Law of our Lord, leaving them to the holy Church in order to aid her in her struggle against the Anti-Christ and his snares.

And so, whoever thou mayest be who shalt often read in these books and look into them, thou wilt have to admit that it pleased Almighty God our Lord not to forget our forefathers but on the contrary to pour out His Holy Spirit upon them so that, being able to understand the Scriptures of the Holy Law according to the spirit of Jesus Christ, they might share with others of future generations the remembrance of these gifts that were given into their trust. 1*
