bringeth,* 1.1 after the opinion of those, that reprooue the same, be greate, sundrie, and many. I wil here, as it were, but touche a f••we of them, leauinge the whole matter it selfe to the iudgement of the Churche▪ First, seeinge the poyson of Heretiques doth most infecte the common people, and al Hereti∣ques drawe their ven••me, out of the Bible vnder pretence of Goddes woorde: it is not thought good by these menne,* 1.2 to lette euery Curiouse, and busie bodie of the vulgare sorte, to reade and examine the Bible in their common language.* 1.3 Yet they woulde not the learned, discreate, and sober laye men to be imbarred of that libertie.
Againe if Heresie springe of wronge vnderstandinge,* 1.4 not of the Scriptures, (as Hilarius saithe, Her••s••e is of vnderstandinge, not of Scripture, and the sense, not the woorde, is a crime) who shal sooner fal to Heresie, then the common people, who cannot vnderstande, that they reade? Verily, it see∣meth a thinge harde to bel••eue, that the vnlearned people should vnderstande that, whiche the beste learned men with longe studie, and greate trauaile, can scarcely at length attaine.
