[Preface] The Approbation of the University of RHEMES.

Cum hujus versionis ac editionis Authores, nobis de fide & eruditione sint probè cogniti, aliique S. Theologiæ & linguæ Anglicanæ peritissimi viri contestati sint, nihil in hoc opere reperiri, quod non sit Catholicæ Ecclesiæ doctrinæ & pietati consentaneum, vel quod ullo modo potestati ac paci civili repugnet, sed omnia potius veram fidem, Reip. bonum, vitæque ac morum probitatem promovere: ex ipsorum fide censemus ista utiliter excudi & publicari posse.
