Gandeo quod Chriſtus Dominus eſt, al[illegible: 1 letter]oqui totus deſperaſſem, I am glad that Chriſt is Lord of all; for otherwiſe I ſhould utterly have been out of hope, ſaith Micon[illegible: 1 letter] us in an Epiſtle to Calvin, upon the view of the Churches enemies.

Let the multitude of Iſles be glad] As more happy herein than any of thoſe called the Fortunate Iſlands, Turk. Hiſt. or than Cyprus anciently called Macaria, that is, The bleſſed Iſle, for her abundance of commodities.
