FVLK. 1. First we denie no one booke of the Cano∣nicall scripture that hath bene so receaued of the Catho∣like church, for the space of 300. yeares, & more, as it hath bene often proued out of Eusebius, S. Ierome, and other ancient authorities: but the Papists in aduauncing Apo∣cryphall bookes to be of equall credite with the Cano∣nicall Scriptures, do in effect deny thē all. Besides that to adde vnto the word of God, is as great a fault as to take away from it, the one being forbidden vnder as heauie a curse, as the other. Those blasphemies of Pighius & Ec∣cius, the one calling the holy Scripture a nose of waxe and a dumbe iudge, the other terming the Gospel writ∣ten, to be a blacke Gospell, and an ynkie Diuinitie, and that of Hosius acknowleging none other expresse word of God, but onely this one worde Ama, or dilige, loue thou: what other thing do they import, but a shamelesse deniall of all bookes of the holy Scripture in deede, how soeuer in worde they will seeme to admitte them.
