The Wisest Fool In Christendom.

I Acknowledge The Roman Church To Be Our Mother Church, Although Defiled With Some Infirmities And Corruptions...let [the Papists] Assure Themselves, That, As I Am A Friend Of Their Persons, If They Be Good Subjects, So Am I A Vowed Enemy, And Do Denounce Mortal War To Their Errors.

It Is One Of God's Blessings That We Cannot Foreknow The Hour Of Our Death; For A Time Fixed, Even Beyond The Possibility Of Living, Would Trouble Us More Than Doth This Uncertainty.

Herein Is Not Only A Great Vanity, But A Great Contempt Of God's Good Gifts, That The Sweetness Of Man's Breath, Being A Good Gift Of God, Should Be Willfully Corrupted By This Stinking Smoke.

The Wisest Fool In Christendom.

Smoke.. Makes A Kitchen Also Oftentimes In The Inward Parts Of Men, Soiling And Infecting Them, With An Unctuous And Oily Kinde Of Soote As Hath Been Found In Some Great Tobacco Takers, That After Their Death Were Opened.
