Then, gentle friends, aid me in this attempt;

And I, that have with subtile syllogisms

Gravell’d the pastors of the German church,

And made the flow’ring pride of Wittenberg

Swarm to my problems, as th’ infernal spirits

On sweet Musæus when he came to hell;

Will be as cunning as Agrippa was,

Whose shadow made all Europe honour him.

Valdes. These books, thy wit, and our experience

Shall make all nations to canonize us.
