¶ My Lordes, Salomon sayeth. If that the heauē of heauēs cā not * 1.1 comprehende the, howe muche lesse thys house, that I haue buylded? And Iob consenteth to the same sentence. Seing that he is higher then the heauens, therefore what * 1.2 can thou buylde vnto hym. He is deepar then hell, then howe shalte thou knowe him? He is lōgar then the earth, & broder thē the sea. So that god can not be comprehended into one place, because that he is
infinite. These saiynges notwith∣stādyng, I sayed neuer that chur∣ches * 1.3 shoulde be destroyed. But of the contrary I affirmed euer, that churches should be susteyned and vpholden, that the people should be cōgregated into thē, there to heare of god And moreouer, wher soeuer is the true preachynge of the word of God, and the lawefull vse of the sacramētes, vndoubtedly there is God presente hym selfe. So that boeth these saiynges are true to∣gether. * 1.4 God cā not be comprehen∣ded into anie place. And where so euer there are two or three gathe∣red in his name, there is he present in the middest of them. Then saied he to his accusar. If thou thynkest any other wise, then I saye, shewe forth thi reasōs before this audito∣ry. Then he without al reasō was dom, & could not answer one word.
