For not only the fathers that were labouring not many yeres synnes ande travaylinge in thys oure pilgrimage with vs / and now are gone vnto the lyuiÌ„g God / do both lyvely and moost godly even styll at this daye preache vnto vs / but also the very Prophetes aÌ„d Patriarkes aÌ„d also the whole company that have been eveÌ„ froÌ„ the beginning of the worlde / are nowe familiar vnto ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ / aÌ„d are become Inglishmen Yea / god hi selfe of his great infinite mercie in our owne tongue speaketh vnto vs / oute of his moost sacred worde / to our great ioye and spirituall comforte And Paul being aÌ„ hebrue borne / hath chauÌ„ged his tonge / aÌ„d is become oures / as though he had been bredde and brought vp all the dayes of his lyfe amongest vs. Wherfore albeit that the Gospell beyng nowe confyrmed / it maye appeare / that myracles at these dayes are nothynge so necessarye as they were in the prymatyue Churche / when by the vertue of the holighoost and by myracles / that newe doctryne was to be confirmed / yet the veritÃ© it self sheweth the same power styll even nowe vnto vs / that said My father worketh eveÌ„ vntil this time / aÌ„d I also do worke Iohn 5.

a Towre vppon a wheaten strawe Christ and not the Philosophie is the onely true fouÌ„dacioÌ„ of his Churche and of the true supernaturall diuinitie of the which he is the onely workmaster / and not Aristotell I praye the what hath Aristotle to do wyth Christe Manie haue enforced them selues to agre Aristotle with Plato / but they coulde neuer bringe it to passe / because Aristotle beginning at the lowest of the sensible thinges / ryseth in the ende to as high as maye be And Plato begineth where as Aristotle eÌ„deth CoÌ„sidre nowe howe it is possible to agre hiÌ„ with christ / though many will make hym a piller of the Gospell aÌ„d a ladder to clime to heauen Let vs therfore repute the sciences of the worlde as vaine / beiÌ„g like vnto the harlots / that with their flattering woordes and false deceipts corrupt the mindes And let vs consider that if the priestes of the old Testament were prohibited to take a comune woman for a wife / howe much more the Christian that is all wholy consecrate ande dedicate to God / ought to flee and eschewe the vayne sciences and onely seruing him self of theÌ„ as of moost vile handmaidens / to knitte hym selue in spirite and with harte ande minde to applie him selfe to that pure and immaculate virgin of the holy Theologie or diuinitÃ© To the intent that euerlastingly we maye render to God all laude honour and glory / by our Sauiour Iesu Christe Amen Sermon iiij Howe we ought to vse the holy scriptures / in attaining the knowledge of God THe knowledge of the holy scriptures is not ynough to proue that we haue suffycient light of God / because it is possible that a man maye by his proÌ„pte memorie attaine the holy scriptures ande their interpretacions in his minde / and by force of his naturall wytte / naturally vnderstand them / and be neuertheles for all that without faith / spirite and lyuely light of God Lue 24. For therto it behoueth hym to haue the spirite and supernaturall light / that God with his fauour do open aÌ„d penetrate the minde by his diuine grace So that therfore we must not accompte the holy scriptures for our last ende / or for our supreame Quene or Emperesse / but for meanes that serue to the faith / to the spirite ande to the true knowledge of God / muche more theÌ„ the creatures And we ought to serue our selues of them in diuers wayes / for that they first incite and teach vs to repaire to God / sayinge / in him is the chief bouÌ„tÃ© / go to him / for he is faithfull / and hath promised to make you taste all vertue and goodnes in him Yea. though they do not make the liuely to knowe God / yet worke they / as the Samaritane did / that sent the Samaritanes to Christ / who otherwise made them taste aÌ„d feele that which the Samaritane had said of him vnto them / in soche wise that when they returned / they confessed / saying we beleued not at all by thy wordes / we our selues haue hearde aÌ„d knowe / that this is truly the sauiour of the worlde John 5. And so the holy scriptures do send the to christe / to the ende that he maye opeÌ„ thy hart / aÌ„d make the iÌ„ spirite liuely to vnderstande that which already thou hast redde in the dead letter / that thou maist saye vnto the scriptures / we neuer beleued by thy wordes / the which / being without spirite / coulde not make vs taste liuely the great bountÃ© of God It is true that by thy wordes we haue beeÌ„ prouoked to go to Christe / who / speaking vnto vs in spite hath made vs to fele in the harte / a more clere / high and diuine effect of that thou hast spokeÌ„ They erre therfore that / fedig them selues of the letter aÌ„d not of the spyrite / do fixe theÌ„ selues in the holy sâ—riptures / aÌ„d seke none other light but that Yea I saye that for one houres studie / they ought to praie a thousand / aÌ„d to demauÌ„de of god the true vnderstanding of theÌ„ And like as the Placonistes helde opinion / that the sensyble thiÌ„ges geueth vs occasioÌ„ to studie in the booke of the minde in whiche they saye is imprynted all the verytÃ© So must we consyder that the holye scriptures do call vs to Christ / in whome as Pause sayth be hidde all the treasures of wysdome and knowledge This is no lesse then true / that lyke as if thou haddest a frende whome thou hast not tryed though alwayes thou hast trauayled to proue hym thou woldest not inwardely knowe hym for a frende though he were euer in thine eye because the profe hath not rooted hiÌ„ in thy minde So albeit the holy scriptures do call ande exhorte the to seke god in spirite / it is yet impossible that thou shuldest finde god iÌ„ trueth iÌ„ the scriptures / if first by spirite / thou haue him not at the harte They serue also an other maner / that many tymes happeneth As where God maketh the in spirite with lyuely faith to feale a deuine trueth Afterwardes / rediÌ„g the holy scriptures / thou findest that trueth writteÌ„ that thou hast so coÌ„ceaued And therof resting contented / thou confirmest thy self in the fayth of that trueth / notwithstaÌ„ding that it ought to suffise the / of the fyrst inspiration of the holighost And so moreouer because that in Christ is the ende of the lawe / all the promisses fulfylled aÌ„d all the prophecies verified / the shadowes / figures aÌ„d scriptures of the olde Testament / he that redeth it and seeth all fulfylled in christ is forced to satisfye him self of the trueth / and to establish him self in faith Rom. 10. 2. Cor. 1. For Christ sent the Iewes that wold not beleue hym to the holy scriptures / as to them that witnessed of hym Afterwardes / albeit that in the Churche of God / to be satisfyed / grounded aÌ„d establisshed in the diuine / celestiall and supernaturall veritÃ© / it behoueth in effect to come to the inwarde wytnes of the holyghoost / without whome we can not knowe whiche scriptures of god be holy and whiche not Neuertheles / after that by spirite we are assured that our holy scriptures be of God / we ought to serue our selues of them as of a certeine infailyble aÌ„d supreame outwarde rule to teache / reprehende / correct and exhort the others ande to conumce theÌ„ that speake against it For as Paule writeth amongest the exteryour thinges we haue not a more sure clere / parfect aÌ„d stedfast rule / then this / with whiche we ought in spyrite to rule all our wordes / workes / dedes and lyfe 2.
