Of the Church Five Books e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It were both needless and unbecoming to eulogize a Book whose worth will be determined by its readers. It shall suffice to remark, that its Author seems to have anticipated the rank which has ever been assigned to his Work, when, in reply to a friend who would have dissuaded him from the undertaking, on the ground that he was inviting a controversy of which it would be difficult to foresee the end, he said, I will so write as they, shall have no great mind to answer me.
