wisedome and strength the Churches of Zealand Holland and the whole coast therabouts haue obtained peace I thinke nothing more profitable and more necessarie for the establishing and preseruing of a right gouernement in them then are the things which I haue handled in this Commentarie For euen as the contempt and neglect of the Churche Discipline hath brought ruine vnto the Churche so the carefull obseruation thereof beeing ordayned according vnto the rule of the Apostles hath not onelie maintained the soundnes and puritie of the heauenly doctrine amongest men but also hath amended and retained in the obedience of GOD the manners and behauiour of those that professed the name of Christ if at any time they seemed to decline from the sinceritie of their profession To bee shorte this selfe same Discipline is both a most strong fortresse against heresies and Schismes that are comming vppe and a most excellent preseruatiue and counterpoyson against those that are alreadie growen And although I knowe that your excellencye wants not the meanes to come vnto the knowledge of these thinges by the learned conferences which you may haue with diuers of great knowledge and learning and especially with that honorable and worthie man Phillip Marnixus the Lord of the mount of Saint Aldegond with that faithfull Minister of God M. Taffinne yet notwithstanding I thought it not amisse for me to bestow this my talent according vnto mine abilitie vnto the common behoofe and profite of your Churches that they may vnderstand both what great good will I beare vnto them from my heart euen in respect of your excellencie and also howe vncessantly I pray vnto the Lord to vouchsafe them all peace and prosperity To come vnder your selfe most noble Prince it is not vnknowen how well you haue deserued both at the handes of all men professing religion and especially of our Countrey men in Fraunce Of whose safety preseruation both your selfe and that noble Earle your brother Count Lodowick whose famous and happy memory I hope will neuer decay in Gods Church haue bene alwaies especiallye carefull For by the force and counsell of you two the French Churches haue bene a long time protected from the most barbarous crueltie which by their enemies haue bene offered vnto them contrary to the lawes of their Countrey and the custome of all antiquity In conclusion your renown the commendacions of those exploytes that you haue atchieued for the defence of gods glory is so rife in the mouths of all men in Christendome that your match in the constant defending of the good cause is not euery where to be found amongst men For you haue deliuered the Countrey committed vnto your gouernment from the tyrannie of the Spaniards and all forraine enemies you haue by vnexpected waies and almost after an extraordinarie manner healed the breaches of the Lowe-countrey that was lamentablie torne in sunder by inward broiles and discord and haue restored them to their former ancient liberty and honor You haue put the enemies to flight being nowe ready to deuide the spoil and carrying before you the ensigne of Christes cause gotten the victorie and triumphed ouer them You are renowned by all men as a patrone of godlines and pietie the most valiant vphoulder of publike iustice and peace So that you which haue done so great and so excellent things for the enlarging of the kingdome of our Lorde Iesus Christ and the defence of the liberties of your Countrey doe also iustly deserue to bee well spoken of by all men For as Euripides saith mens good deedes doe alwaies procure good speches to be vttered in their praise and commendacions As to my selfe right excellent Prince seing I doe vnderstand that so many of your admirable and worthy actions are euerie where commended through the world I thought it my duty to leaue this worke as a testimonie of my dutifull good will towards your excellencie and of my poore endeuour to publish abroad the commendacion of your deserued praise and renowne The which labour of mine I earnestly entreat your excellencie to accept in good part The Lord who is God alone eternal wise good just and mercifull strengthen and confirme you as hee did Daniell with his holy spirite and preserue you among vs and especially in the Lowe-countries for the support defence of his church in quietnes and prosperitie many yeares Geneua the calends of August 1577.
