Of the blindnesse and disorder that is among men, in the mat∣ter of Religion, and of their Saluation.

Tymothe.
Daniell.

[unspec 1] THe more that I do consider the great disorder that is in the world, in al estates, and chiefly in the mat∣ter of Religion, the more I do meruell. Daniel. And truely for my parte, I meruell not at all, although the disor∣der be great, but I meruell greatly to see that it is no gret∣ter: albeit it wer a hard matter to adde any thing therunto. Tymothe. Why sayest thou so? Daniel. Bycause that men are so blind and wicked, as though they had determinatly conspired agaynst their owne saluation and health, and to thrust all, euen heauen and earth, into disorder, confusion & ruine, they could do no worse then they do.
