wonderfull invention, utility and dignitie of printing, the
which surmounteth all that the antiquitie may conceive or
imagine of excellencie, knowing that it conserveth and
keepeth all the conceptions of our soules, it is the
treasure that doth immortalize the monument of our
spirits, and eternizeth world without end and also
bringeth to light the fruits of our labors. And although
somewhat may be added to all other acts and humane
inventions, yet this alone has entred with such good hap
and perfection in this world, that ther cannot be added
nor diminished any thing that doth not render it
defectious and deformed: these effects are so mervailous,
and executed with such celerity and diligence, that one
man alone in one day will print more letters, than the
promptest scribe or scrivener may write with pen in the
space of one whole year.
