Description
Excerpt from In the Days, of the Councils: A Sketch of the Life and Times of Baldassare Cossa (Afterward Pope John the Twenty-Third)
Roman Empire a great change comes over the spirit of the action, still I am painfully aware that I have merely reached a ''conclusion in which nothing is concluded.'' It is my hope in the future, if life and health are spared, to complete the story Of the Life and Times Of Pope John the Twenty-third; but the material is abundant, and opportunity intermittent. As regards what I have done, I may use the words of one who wrote four hundred years ago: How be it, I truste my symple reason hath ledde to the understandynge Of the true sentence Of the mater desyrynge all the reders and herers therof to take this my rude work in gre, and yf any faute be, to laye it to myn unconnynge and derke ignoraunce, and to mynysshe, adde or augment as they shall fynde cause requysyte. And in theyr so doynge I shall pray to God that after this vayne and transytory lyfe he may brynge them unto the perdurable joye of heven. Amen.''
