the bad For as the Poet saith Ther is no light without darknesse no vertue without vice no shadowe without a bodye no commoditie without a discommoditie By reading wee learne to bee eloquent and beyng

cōforteth th' afflicted banisheth feare frō the fearful pacifieth the insolent and as Cicero saith vanquisheth cities kingdōes castles with her force Eloquence in aduersitie is a solace in prosperitie

amend it neither on our consciences to brighten them but with the helpe of bookes wee learne to setue God wee learne to obey his glory wee learne to succour the poore but fewe doo it wee learne to amende our lyues and to brighten our consciences through the doctrine of bookes we learne to knowe howe God of earth hath created vs vnto his likenesse how Iesus Christ hath redeemed vs with his precious blood shedde for our sinnes how the holy ghost hath glorifyed vs howe God the father God the sonne and God the holy Ghoste are three in one and one in three and that there is none other meanes or way for to obtain life euerlasting then by hym three and them one vnto the whiche life euerlastyng God for his grace cōduct vs. Amen Certis great account haue wee to make of auncient Writers
