TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF THE
GUILD COMPASSIONATE,
GREETING:
Forasmuch as it hath seemed good in the eyes of many to write of those things which make for the disheartening of all humankind, these things are written in the hope that the God-gift of loving-kindness, shared alike by saint and sinner, may in some poor measure be given its due.
