PREFACE. ix there are, the manifestation of the Sacred Truth which we shall have gained in their despite, will operate with advantage; and they themselves will thus become benefited, by the resolution with which their arms shall have been slighted and their opposition disre garded. With respect to all other opponents; as we cannot entertain an hope of serving them by our success, so neither shall we suffer ourselves to be interrupted by their opposition: —obturatd aure transibimus.
