Here begins the prologue

We have considered it a worthy task to bring into the light what we have decided should not be overlooked through negligence or silence, so that God may be praised and loved more fervently, so that his glorious Mother, our powerful Lady and Queen, may be honoured, and for the edification of our neighbour. For something to endure until the ends of time it must be committed to writing. For given that the Creator of aM has deigned to restore for the praise and glory of his name, should we, whom he fashioned and whose flesh is clay, refuse to show obedience to the divine will and command? Without him we are nothing, and with him and in him we can achieve much. So why should we not attach ourselves to the tower of strength, the fount of wisdom, the plenitude of all good things? Because we are pressed down by our earthly habitation, which is a weight and not a support, we are unable to fix our bleary eyes on the radiance of the sun. But at least let us pause a while in taking delight in his invisible works and with Ms help continue the task that we have begun.
