Author's Preface.

"Biographers should not busy themselves so much with deeds, as their
moving causes; with what motives, by what means, for what ends and
under what circumstances they were performed. If we limit ourselves to
a simple detail of facts, our judgment is determined by success; and
upright men are condemned as evil or imprudent, because of the
unfavorable issue of their endeavors. To set forth the views of Zwingli
