Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Abridgement of the Institution of the Christian Religion: Wherein Brief and Sound Answers to the Objections of the Adversaries Are Set Down At length methought the translating of this Abridgement, and the presenting thereof to your Worship, might somewhat come near the same. For to omit the rest for brevity´s sake, as for the first three things, considering the matter of this book, it will be to you a very great help, seeing that in the very entrance thereof, the author studieth very briefly to shew, not what, but what an one God is, seeing that in the process he declareth what way we shall best glorify him, and lastly, seeing that he setteth down a brief method and way to worship God aright, distinguishing the same from feigned worshippings, and all those out of the word of the Lord. This Abridgement (right Worshipful) was written in Latin, about three years ago, by that learned and godly man. Master Lawne, for the great profit of the learned in the Latin tongue, whose desire it was, I know, to have the same published in English, to the profit of our countrymen, though it lay not in him to do it, because he was not thoroughly acquainted with our language. At length, I being by him requested to attempt the doing hereof, have, through the assistance of my good God, finished it. Which fruits of my labours I present to your Ladyship, to whom if I should not acknowledge myself much bounden, I should assuredly appear to many most unthankful. Accept, good Madam, these my labours with the same courtesy which you have always used toward me. Read them diligently, for the profit is not small which you may gain by reading this small book.
