Chap. 1. the. 6. Diuision.
T. C. Pag. 126. in the middest.
It is called also a sweete Sauour, and therefore as the spyces being brayed and 〈◊〉〈◊〉, smell sweeter and stronger, than when they be whole and vnbroken: so the worde by interpretation be∣ing broken and bruysed, caryeth a sweeter sauour vnto the vnderstanding, than when it is by rea∣ding giuen grosse, and whole, the same also may be sayde in that the preaching is called a cutting of the worde of God, for as when the meate is cut and shred, it nourisheth more than when it is not so: so likewise it is in preaching and reading.

Io. Whitgifte.
Saint Paule speaking of himselfe, and of the ministers of the worde, sayth thus. For we are vnto God the sweete sauour of Christ in them that are saued. &c. and 2. Tim. he admonisheth Timothie to cut the worde of truth rightly, that is prudently, and ac∣cording to the capacitie of the hearers. What conclude you of this? Or what one worde is there in eyther of those places that derogateth any thing from reading? Do you thinke that the prayse of preaching, is the disprayse of reading? As though they were one contrarie to an other, and not rather both of them most profitable. Is not the worde of God when it is read, a sweete sauour? Is there not prudencie and discretion required in reading the Scriptures? Surely I am sorie that the Papists shall haue so iust cause to iest at your so vnapt alledging of the Scriptures, and that they shall be animated in their ridiculous applications of the same, by these and such like vntowarde allegations of yours.
