The CONCLVSION.
AND now to conclude all; if Mr. Dauid, or any
of his Complices will still be contentious, let them
know I will no more interrupt the course of my stu∣die
and better exercises for such matters, except it be
by commaundement of my Superiours: if any moe
had come so long as my penne was about this pur∣pose,
they should not haue wanted an Answere, but
now seeing I know none others, I close vp this Com∣bat,
Non licet ad huiusmodi ineptias vacare: surmise, say,
report, backbite, lybell as you will; bu•• seeke some
other partie. I haue bent the course of my studie to
more profitable labours. I wish my paines may worke
in you what I would, but because wee finde by daily
experience the truth of that once spoken by Macarius,〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉: I turne
mee with Nazianzen, to the Lord, who is onely able
to tame the nature of man: Beatissime Christe mortalium
lumen, velim super mare nostrum ambules, & i••ctari desi∣net;

thee to come and walke vpon the Sea of our pertur∣bed

affections and it shall become calme. Veni Domi∣ne
Iesu & aufer scandala de Regno tuo: Come Lord Ie∣sus
take offences out of thy Kingdome, out of our
hearts. Who but thou should raigne in them? let not
Pride possesse vs, let not Arrogancie rule ouer vs, let
not filthie Couetousnesse command vs: Put these to
the doore O Lord; come thou and possesse thine owne;
none but thou O Lord, can claime a title to vs: Vtinam
praeter Christum nihil in nobis viueret! Oh that nothing
beside Christ Iesus were liuing in vs! Lord Iesus
who left thy peace to thy Church, keepe it
among vs, that wee may be one in
thee, with all holinesse,
truth, and loue,
Amen.
