 Now I pray all those who hear or read this little treatise if there be anything in it which pleases them to thank our Lord Jesus Christ from whom proceeds all wisdom and all goodness. And if there be anything that displeases them and I pray them to ascribe the fault to my incompetence and not my will for I would gladly have spoken better had I the ability. As the Bible says all that is written is written for our instruction and that has been my aim. And so I meekly beseech you for God's mercy that you pray for me that Christ have mercy upon me and forgive me my trespasses in particular my translations and my authorship of works of worldly vanity which I revoke in my retractions.
