As if M. Bucer did not know. that there were then learned preachers enough in the realme, which were able to make Homilies so many as the volume of thē might easily haue exceeded the volume of the Bible, if the multitude of Homi∣lies, would haue done so much good.

They are M. Bucers woordes in déede, neyther is there any cause why you should suspect them so to be. And it is not his iudgemēt only, but other learned mens* 1.1 also: and namely that famous man D. Ridlies, Bishop of London in the treatise be∣fore rehearsed. Wherein thus he speaketh of the Churche of Englande, that was in King Edwards time. It had also holy and wholesome Homilies in commendation of the* 1.2 principall vertues, which are commended in Scripture, and likewise other Homilies agaynst the most pernicious and capitall vices, that vseth (alas) to reygne in this Church of England. And truly these authorities if I had no other reason, preuaile more with me than all that you, or any of your parte had sayd, or is able to say to the contrarie.
