without eny writyng to be maad therupon The seconde Argument is this If it had be done in dede as is next above argued that it mygte so have be doon that is to seie if it had be so doon that the Apostlis hadden taugt bi word manye Clerkis and manye of the lay folke the hool al ful feith sufficientli these Clerkis and laifolk surviving and outlyvyng to the Apostlis hadden taugt bi word the same al hool ful feith to othre Clerkis and laifolk succeding aftir the deeth of the Apostlis and that sufficienli and so forth into this day thanne the feith so taugt bi word and so descending bi word fro persoonys into persoonys into this present day sufficientli hadde be sufficientli groundid in the Clergie so taugten to othere Thoug therwith a Scripture hadde be maad and delyvered forth bi the Apostlis upon the same feith ●o bi word taugt to othere But so it was indede that the Apostlis taugten othre Clerkis the ful al hool feith bi word sufficientli and the Clerkis so taugt of the Apostlis sufficientli taugten othere Clerkis succeding aftir them the same al hool feith and that bi word sufficientli and so forth continuali into this present day Wherfore the al hool ful feith bothe in the tyme of the Apostlis and alwey ever sithen was groundid sufficientli in the Clergie for the tyme beyng and lyvyng and bi the maner now seid teching and delyveryng And thanne ferth it folowith thus If the Clergie for the tyme being bi ther such now seid teching and delyvering was and is sufficient ground for our feith for al tyme sithen the daies of the Apost●lis it folowith at the leest that for to loke aftir or sette eny othere thing as is Scripture every othere thing to be ground of the same feith after Cristis teching bi word and sithen the teching of the Apostlis bi word is no nede The first premysse of this secunde principal argument is open ynoug to be trewe and the II. Premysse of the same argument schal be proved thus Crist bade to hise Apostlis Matth. the last Ch. thus Go ye therefore and teche ye alle folkis baptizing them in the name of the Fadir and of the Sone and of the Holi Goost teching them to keep alle thingis whatever thingis y have comaundid to you and also Mark the last Chap. Crist bede to hise Apostlis thus Go ye into al the World and preche ye the Gospel to every creature and anoon aftir it is seid there thus Thei forsothe goyng forth prechiden every where But so it is that the Apostlis hadden not fulfilled this now seid Comaundement maad to them bi Crist in lasse than thei hadden prechid bi word of mouthe sufficientli al the hool feith necessarie to be had of the peple For whi al the hool feith necessarie to be had is included in the Gospel of God that is to seie in the message of God which message God sent into the world Wherfore sothe it is that the Apostlis prechiden bi word of mouthe to othere Clerkis and folkis al the hool ful feith sufficientl● and so the secunde bifore maad principal premysse to be proved is trewe The III. principal argument is this If the Apostlis hadden taugt manye Clerkis and manye of the laifolk the hool al ful feith bi word of mouthe principali and these Clerkis and laifolk survyvyng and outlyvyng to the Apostlis hadden taugt bi word principali the same hool feith to othere Clerkis and to othere folk aftir the deeth of the Apostlis and so forth into this day thanne the al hool feith so taugt bi word of mouthe principali and descending bi word principali fro persoonys into persoonys unto this present day hadde be principali groundid in the Clergie whilis the Clergie so taugt othere thoug therwith had be a Scripture maad and delyvered forth bi the Apostlis to othere upon the same feith But so it was in dede that the Apostlis taugten othere Clerkis the hool ful feith bi word principali and tho clerkis so taugt of the Apostlis bi word principali taugten othere clerkis succeding to them the same al hool feith and that bi word principali and so forth contynueli into this present day Wherefore the al hool feith bothe in the tyme of the Apostlis and alwey sithen was groundid principali in the Clergie for the tyme beyng and lyvyng and bi maner nowe seid teching and delyveryng And thanne ferth it folowith thus If the Clergie for the tyme veyng bi ther nowe seid such teching and delyveryng was and is the principal ground for our feith for al tyme aftir the daies of the Apostolis it folowith at the fulle that to loke aftir or seche aftir or seie Scripture to be the principal ground of our feith or that Scripture schulde be a principal ground thereof or more necessarie and better grounding of the same feith thanne is the Clergie of the Church aftir the daies of the Apostlis is waast ydel vanite and untrewe The first Premysse of this III. principal argument is pleyn ynoug to be trewe And for profe of the II. premysse of this III. principal argument may be maad the same argument which bifore is maad for profe of the II. premysse of the II. principal argument and that bi the rehercid Textis of Matt. the last chapter and Mark the last chapter The IV. principal argument is this The Church of Crist which be foundid on erthe and of which he is the heed is alwey and altymes oon and the same as S. Paul witnessith where he seith that to man to have by the lawe oon Wyf undeptabili signifieth Crist to have oon Church for his spouse And the same witnessith the Clergie bi the profis or sequencis whiche he singith in the Masse of Dedicacioun Feest day and in the VIII day of the same Feest and this same is comounli allegoriesed upon thilk Text Cant. Oon is mi Dove But so it was that in the tyme of the Apostolis the Churche of Crist in erthe bi his principal partly which was the Clergie was of so greet worthinesse and auctorite and dignite that he thanne more groundid the Feith of Crist than Scripture groundid feith of Crist thanne For whi the Apostlis thanne beyng the Clergie of Cristis Church groundid more Cristis Feith than ther writyng maad and writen bi them groundid as thanne the same Feith in as moche as the effect of a cause dooth not so moche in to another effect as doith the cause of the same effect into the same other effect aftir good Philosophie Wherfore it seemeth folowe that the Church of Crist nowe being and at al tyme a this side the Apostlis for the tyme being is and was of great worthinesse auctorite and dignite that he now more groundith the Feith of Crist than Scripture groundith now the same Feith Sithen oon and the same Churche is nowe and thanne and therfore bi like skile
