VVritten by T.F.

Written by him the yeare folowing, and not published vntil now, for the reasons declared in the preface of this treatyse.

of_o heresy_n and_o the_o restitution_n of_o the_o catholyk_n faith_n yet_o we_o wish_v that_o it_o may_v please_v god_n to_o work_v it_o by_o such_o sweet_a mean_n that_o not_o only_o our_o
