or_o be_v not_o man_n capable_a of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n except_o they_o be_v learn_v the_o holy_a scripture_n and_o chief_o the_o gospel_n aught_o to_o be_v have_v in_o every_o language_n to_o

christ_n will_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o man_n and_o likewise_o will_v the_o apostle_n before_o time_n the_o holy_a scripture_n be_v translate_v out_o of_o hebrew_n and_o also_o out_o of_o greek_a into_o latin_a because_o the_o latin_a tongue_n especial_o in_o italy_n be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n therefore_a they_o say_v the_o créede_v the_o gospel_n the_o psalm_n the_o lord_n prayer_n &_o other_o prayer_n in_o latin_a but_o now_o see_v that_o the_o common_a italian_a tongue_n be_v no_o more_o latin_a we_o ought_v to_o have_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v know_v bring_v into_o a_o tongue_n which_o may_v be_v understand_v which_o thing_n i_o say_v be_v also_o convenient_a in_o all_o other_o nation_n i_o say_v not_o now_o that_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o study_v and_o understande_v better_o the_o holy_a scripture_n than_o the_o simple_a people_n that_o they_o may_v be_v able_a as_o paul_n write_v to_o instruct_v other_o and_o moreover_o to_o resist_v and_o overcome_v those_o which_o shall_v gainsay_v the_o truth_n but_o to_o other_o concern_v the_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o god_n it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o they_o to_o know_v as_o much_o as_o be_v needful_a for_o their_o salvation_n they_o do_v not_o evil_o but_o well_o if_o they_o study_v the_o holy_a scripture_n so_o that_o they_o study_v they_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o ought_v but_o i_o think_v that_o the_o head_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o antichrist_n with_o their_o subtle_a and_o devilish_a craftiness_n be_v force_v so_o to_o hide_v these_o thing_n because_o they_o may_v be_v so_o worship_v like_o divyne_a creature_n and_o as_o though_o they_o among_o all_o other_o have_v the_o light_n of_o divine_a secreate_v they_o also_o have_v devise_v so_o to_o keep_v close_o the_o truth_n that_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v declare_v because_o if_o man_n shall_v have_v the_o light_n of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n they_o shall_v see_v the_o doctrine_n of_o antichrist_n to_o be_v not_o only_o unprofitable_a &_o vain_a but_o false_a wicked_a contrary_a and_o repugn_v against_o christ_n and_o his_o gospel_n they_o will_v say_v that_o if_o the_o unlearned_a shall_v study_v the_o scripture_n they_o shall_v easy_o fall_v into_o many_o error_n and_o heresy_n and_o therefore_a it_o be_v not_o good_a and_o i_o say_v ●_o 1._o cor._n ●_o that_o the_o wise_a of_o this_o world_n do_v so_o much_o more_o easy_o fall_v as_o that_o by_o their_o great_a prudence_n &_o human_a wisdom_n which_o be_v compare_v to_o god_n

in_o christ_n 7._o joan._n 7._o the_o worldly_a wise_a man_n have_v not_o beléeve_v but_o have_v persecute_v he_o and_o the_o error_n &_o heresy_n be_v grow_v of_o their_o learned_a doctor_n as_o be_v

be_v not_o through_o defect_n of_o the_o scripture_n nor_o yet_o because_o it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o every_o body_n shall_v study_v it_o but_o through_o their_o own_o defect_n for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o study_v it_o with_o humilytie_n pureness_n and_o a_o right_a purpose_n as_o they_o ought_v they_o crave_v not_o at_o god_n hand_n the_o true_a understanding_n thereof_o with_o such_o zeal_n

the_o wise_a man_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o that_o they_o understand_v it_o better_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o study_v it_o with_o reverence_n and_o for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o they_o ought_v and_o if_o they_o will_v say_v they_o can_v understande_v the_o hard_a place_n i_o will_v say_v that_o god_n be_v able_a to_o give_v they_o light_n as_o well_o as_o
