And this their contentment doeth not diminifh or decay, but euery day increafeth and talteth ftrength, when they obferue that thc zeale ofyour Maieftie to­ wards the houfe ofG o d ,doth not flacke or goe backward,but is more and more kindled,manifefting it felfe abroad in the fiirtheft parts o^Chriflendcme, bywriting in defence of theTrueth,(whichhath giuen fuch ablowvnto that man ofSinne, as will not be healed) and euery day at home,by Religi­ ous and learned difcourfe,by frequenting the houfe of GoD,by hearing the word preached,by cherifhing the teachers therof by caring for the Church as a moft tender and louing nourcing Father. There are infinite arguments of this right Chriftian and Religious af­ fection in your M a 1 e s t 1 e; but none is more ftxcible to declare it to othcrs,then the vehement and perpetuated defire of the accompliftiing ajid publifhing ofthis W orke, which now with all humilitie we prefent vnto your M A1 E s TIE.

So the firft Chriftened Emperour (at the leaftwife that openly profefled the faith himfelfe^and allowed others to doe the like ) for ftrengthening che Empire ac his greac charges, and prouiding for the Church, as he did,got for his labour the name fi^TZ/z-, as who would lay, a waftefull Prince, that hadneede of a Guardian,or ouerleer.

This is the tranflation ofthe Seuentie Interpretcrs,comrnoiily 16 called, whicli prepared the way for our Sauiour among the Gentiles by wnt ten preaching, as Saint Iohn Baptift did among the Iewes by vocall.
