The Christians Library. [ 1491]
OF making many Books there is no end,* 1.1 (saith Solomon) and much study is
a wearinesse of the flesh; every Art abounding with books of its own
way and profession; yet as Aquinas chose rather to have Chrysostome upon
S. Matthew's Gospel, then all the huge City of Paris. And as Iustinian out of
two thousand Authors reduced the body of the Civill Law into a more near
compendium: So it is,* 1.2 that the Christians Library is the soonest furnished of all
other; it requires no more books but two; the one, the book of Gods Law, con∣taining
the Theory; the other, the book of his own Conscience, which contains the
practice of his duty; And what a happy Student must he needs be in the School
of Grace, that keeps for himself a true Concordance out of them both.
