Institutions of Christian religion framed out of Gods word, and the writings of the best diuines, methodically handled by questions and answers, fit for all such as desire to know, or practise the will of God. Written in Latin by William Bucanus Professor of Diuinitie in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna. And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

In no wise, because they which liue heere, do this, for the main∣taining of charity, according to the Lords precept, neither are they destitute of a promise: which reasons are far from the dead, whom the Lord hath remoued from our company and conuersation. Eccle. 9.5.6. The dead know vs not, and therefore he would haue them to be estranged from the knowledge of our affaires: for that which some say concerning the looking glasse of the Trinitie, wherein they may from aloft espie the conditions of men, it is a feigned fable.
