Rh text of the holy Testament. Farewel good Reader, and if we profit thee any whit by our poore paines let us for God’s sake be partakers of thy devout prayers, & together with humble and contrit hart call upon our Saviour Christ to cease these troubles and stormes of his dearest Spouse: in the meane time comforting ourselves with this saying of S. Augustin: That Heretikes, when they receive power corporally to afflict the Church, doe exercise her patience: but when they oppugne her only by their evil doctrine or opinions, then they exercise her wisedom. De civit. Dei li. 18. ca. 51.
