In obedience to the decrees of Pope Urban VIII and other Sovereign Pontiffs, the writer declares that the graces and other supernatural facts related i this volume as witnessing to the sanctity of Servants of God other than those canonized or beatified by the Church, rest on human authority alone; and in regard thereto, as in all things else, the writer submits himself without without reserve to the infallible judgement of the Apostolic See, Which alone has power and authority to pronounce as to whom rightly belong the Character and title of Saint or Blessed.
