for the prosperouse estate of the vnyuersall Christen churche He appoynted to hymselfe euerye daye a serten tyme of psalmes readynge wherin he mixed hys prayers to God with contynuall syghynges and

fashyons of prayer prescrybed vnto vs by the lordes appoyntement but that through readynge our myndes myght be inflamed and that our voyce myght so confesse outwardlye that God whych ys onlye to be

Farthermore thys specyall grace he had to se verye farre in thynges of great wayght or daunger wyselye afore hande to seke out the best remedyes Neyther was he as manye men haue supposed negligent in consyderacyon of the publyque welthe not yet in knowlege wherunto men hath therin bene enclyned But he perfyghtlye knewe what was most commodyouse therunto most warelye perceyued consydered the polycyes cōiecturs of hys owne cytiezens though he were most quyck of wytt yet trusted he not all to that but affectuouslye red the ecclesyastyck wrytynges both olde newe sacred and prophane with
