monere me dignatus fueres, praecipcus quae n me pro-

sane tanto mihi suaviores, quod me ducere viderentur
ad Historiae Ecclesiasticae nucleum: i. e. ut tanto pa-
teret liquidius, tum quibus qradibus Ecclesia jugum
Romanum Subierit: tum quid eandem Ecclesiam
induxerit, jugum illud ut excuteret. Magna Historiae
Ecclesiasticae lux affundetur, si singulae genter res
suas seorsim ordine explicuerint. Si Aylus arxe-
rior videatur, facile condonabunt, qui ad animum

quorum praecipcre gratiam labor susceptur fuit.
Sed quos nescit Historias testibur potissimum niti,
