of_o all_o our_o thought_n and_o that_o we_o conclude_v that_o if_o we_o see_v nothing_o the_o fault_n thereof_o be_v in_o our_o eye_n and_o not_o in_o the_o light_n they_o allege_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v doubtful_a because_o that_o satan_n allege_v it_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n i_o answer_v that_o there_o be_v no_o law_n that_o a_o man_n may_v not_o reject_v by_o this_o argument_n for_o all_o law_n be_v subject_a to_o be_v allege_v both_o by_o good_a &_o bad_a but_o let_v they_o also_o mark_v that_o by_o the_o same_o jesus_n christ_n stop_v his_o mouth_n also_o your_o saviour_n christ_n have_v speak_v in_o parable_n and_o similitude_n we_o know_v that_o similitude_n be_v to_o make_v clear_a and_o not_o to_o darken_v and_o i_o make_v their_o own_o conscience_n judge_n whether_o those_o parable_n of_o christ_n so_o expound_v as_o we_o have_v they_o in_o the_o scripture_n tend_v to_o any_o other_o end_n when_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o who_o be_v our_o neighbour_n he_o make_v it_o plain_a by_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o man_n descend_v from_o jericho_n what_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v by_o the_o similitude_n of_o the_o sour_a 15._o what_o the_o vocation_n of_o the_o gentile_n be_v by_o the_o prodigal_a child_n and_o so_o likewise_o of_o other_o i_o ask_v if_o by_o these_o parable_n we_o may_v judge_v more_o clear_o or_o more_o dark_o &_o whether_o all_o the_o gloss_n or_o long_a commentary_n of_o the_o pharisee_n be_v able_a so_o clear_o to_o expound_v this_o matter_n but_o they_o will_v say_v you_o can_v deny_v but_o the_o there_o be_v many_o dark_a place_n for_o s._n peter_n himself_o say_v 3.16_o that_o there_o be_v such_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o s._n paul_n nay_o but_o rather_o we_o may_v say_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o there_o be_v only_o certain_a place_n dark_a it_o follow_v contrariwise_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o dark_a for_o this_o be_v a_o evil_a argument_n to_o reason_n from_o some_o to_o all_o and_o he_o that_o say_v that_o upon_o a_o garment_n there_o be_v black_a spot_v he_o say_v by_o consequence_n that_o that_o garment_n be_v not_o all_o black_a and_o as_o concern_v those_o we_o say_v that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a for_o to_o give_v they_o such_o light_n as_o they_o need_v not_o dwell_v any_o more_o in_o darkness_n unless_o it_o be_v those_o who_o the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n have_v blind_v in_o their_o understanding_n as_o saint_n paul_n say_v 4._o to_o the_o end_n they_o shall_v perish_v &_o that_o the_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n shall_v not_o shine_v unto_o they_o 3.16_o or_o as_o saint_n peter_n say_v in_o the_o self_n same_o place_n which_o they_o allege_v to_o the_o unstable_a and_o unlearned_a which_o pervert_v the_o scripture_n to_o their_o own_o destruction_n this_o be_v the_o sentence_n of_o all_o the_o ancient_a father_n with_o who_o we_o conclude_v this_o point_n there_o be_v say_v saint_n augustine_n handle_v this_o matter_n 9_o certain_a hard_a place_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o there_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o that_o which_o be_v expound_v in_o most_o express_a word_n in_o other_o place_n whereby_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v wonderful_o measure_v and_o temper_v the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o the_o end_n that_o those_o clear_a place_n shall_v serve_v healthful_o to_o satisfy_v the_o hunger_n of_o the_o reader_n and_o those_o dark_a place_n shall_v increase_v their_o appetite_n to_o take_v away_o all_o contempt_n but_o in_o that_o that_o be_v speak_v clear_o in_o the_o scripture_n they_o shall_v find_v all_o thing_n which_o contain_v faith_n and_o the_o way_n to_o live_v well_o to_o wit_n hope_v and_o charity_n and_o he_o that_o will_v have_v more_o example_n hereof_o in_o the_o foresay_a place_n he_o allege_v more_o saint_n ambrose_n there_o be_v say_v he_o much_o obscurity_n in_o the_o prophetical_a write_n 8._o he_o speak_v namely_o of_o the_o prophet_n but_o if_o thou_o knock_v at_o the_o door_n of_o the_o scripture_n with_o the_o hand_n of_o thy_o own_o understanding_n thou_o shall_v gather_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o dark_a place_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o shall_v be_v that_o that_o shall_v open_v it_o unto_o thou_o the_o most_o obscure_a and_o dark_a then_o that_o be_v therein_o may_v be_v make_v plain_a by_o itself_o s._n basill_n if_o we_o be_v command_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n and_o we_o know_v not_o how_o 4._o let_v we_o take_v the_o lord_n for_o our_o guide_n who_o say_v unto_o we_o search_v the_o scripture_n and_o let_v we_o follow_v the_o apostle_n who_o ask_v himself_o of_o the_o interpretation_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v unto_o they_o and_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o one_o place_n let_v we_o learn_v to_o understand_v those_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v speak_v in_o another_o 9_o this_o be_v that_o which_o marsilius_n of_o milan_n dispute_v against_o the_o pope_n 300._o year_n ago_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v sufficient_a perfect_a and_o plain_a of_o itself_o immediate_o to_o direct_v we_o to_o everlasting_a salvation_n and_o to_o turn_v we_o away_o from_o the_o path_n of_o misery_n but_o to_o they_o which_o find_v nothing_o in_o the_o light_n but_o darkness_n i_o fear_v that_o it_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n to_o allege_v plain_a place_n out_o of_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n the_o mischief_n be_v that_o we_o find_v not_o in_o the_o scripture_n in_o any_o place_n neither_o the_o mass_n nor_o purgatory_n neither_o the_o papacy_n nor_o the_o power_n of_o one_o man_n alone_o over_o the_o whole_a church_n and_o such_o other_o invention_n of_o the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o we_o accuse_v god_n word_n to_o be_v dark_a to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v fetch_v these_o goodly_a doctrine_n from_o thence_o by_o mean_a of_o some_o cold_a allegory_n that_o wheresoever_o this_o light_n shine_v not_o unto_o we_o in_o the_o church_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n but_o yet_o see_v a_o far_a matter_n than_o the_o former_a for_o it_o be_v so_o far_o of_o that_o they_o will_v accept_v the_o scripture_n for_o their_o judge_n that_o they_o themselves_o will_v be_v judge_n over_o the_o scripture_n if_o the_o church_n say_v they_o have_v not_o keep_v the_o scripture_n scripture_n and_o witness_v of_o they_o they_o have_v be_v of_o no_o more_o authority_n than_o any_o other_o write_v therefore_o the_o church_n be_v judge_n over_o the_o scripture_n and_o not_o the_o scripture_n over_o the_o church_n first_o i_o demand_v what_o that_o church_n be_v which_o have_v keep_v the_o scripture_n whether_o this_o be_v only_o the_o christian_a church_n or_o the_o jewish_a church_n also_o now_o we_o know_v that_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v deliver_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n unto_o we_o by_o the_o jew_n and_o therefore_o the_o ancient_a doctor_n call_v they_o the_o book_n keeper_n of_o the_o church_n for_o they_o be_v so_o curious_a that_o they_o will_v enter_v every_o tittle_n and_o point_n both_o the_o accent_n and_o letter_n and_o make_v a_o register_n of_o they_o therefore_o the_o jewish_a church_n be_v judge_v of_o the_o old_a testament_n when_o jesus_n christ_n come_v and_o therefore_o to_o very_o evil_a purpose_n our_o saviour_n christ_n send_v the_o people_n to_o the_o scripture_n who_o may_v more_o safe_o have_v be_v send_v to_o the_o high_a priest_n and_o pharisee_n but_o these_o judge_n of_o the_o scripture_n they_o judge_v christ_n to_o death_n &_o the_o scholar_n and_o student_n of_o the_o scripture_n acknowledge_v he_o for_o their_o life_n and_o at_o this_o day_n even_o by_o this_o argument_n the_o jew_n shall_v win_v the_o victory_n it_o follow_v then_o whether_o they_o renounce_v this_o sophistry_n or_o whether_o they_o will_v maintain_v it_o that_o they_o renounce_v their_o salvation_n consequent_o i_o demand_v of_o they_o whether_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n alone_o have_v keep_v the_o scripture_n or_o other_o church_n also_o they_o can_v not_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o church_n of_o rome_n or_o the_o latin_a church_n alone_o for_o the_o ecclesiastical_a story_n witness_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n gather_v the_o canon_n of_o the_o register_n of_o those_o church_n which_o be_v found_v by_o the_o apostle_n and_o to_o which_o the_o same_o apostle_n have_v write_v now_o there_o be_v but_o one_o epistle_n write_v to_o the_o roman_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v write_v to_o the_o east_n church_n in_o like_a manner_n the_o gospel_n of_o john_n be_v keep_v at_o ephesit_n and_o that_o of_o saint_n mark_v at_o alexandria_n etc_n etc_n if_o then_o the_o east_n church_n have_v a_o great_a part_n in_o keep_v the_o scripture_n than_o the_o roman_a and_o therefore_o
