M. Hardinge. The .5. Diuision.

That it is not conuenient nor seemely, al sortes of persons without exception to be admitted to the readinge of the Holy Scriptures, I neede to say nothinge: Euery reasonable man may easely vnder∣stande the causes by him selfe. This is certaine, diuerse Chapters and stories of the Olde Testament, conteine such matter,* 1.1 as occasion of euil thoughtes is like to be geuen, if VVomen, Maidens, and Younge men be permitted to reade them.* 1.2 Gregorie Nazianzene, whome the Greekes called the diuine, saith, mooued with great considerations, that it is not the parte of al persons to reason of God, and of god∣ly thinges,* 1.3 neither behooueful the same be done in al times and place, nor that al thinges touchinge God be medled withal. VVhiche aduertisement taketh no place, where al be admitted to the curiouse readinge of the Scriptures in their owne vulgare Tongue.
