2 Tim. 3. 14.

The text.

But thou ∴ continue in those things which thou hast lear∣ned, and are committed to thee, knowing of whom thou hast learned.

The note.

In all danger and diuersitie of false sectes, Saint Pauls admonition is euer to abide in that was first taught and deliuered, neuer to giue ouer our old faith for a new fansie. This is it which before he calleth de∣positum. 1. Timothie 6. and 2. Timothie 1.

The answer.

And why did not Paul admonish men to hold fast that, which the Pope and the church of Rome should prescribe, bicause that should not, or could not erre, or stray from the first faith? Or why do not you, setting all other things apart, enter into that triall with vs, whether our doctrine or yours were the former? Your whole doctrine swarueth farre from the first faith which the A∣postles planted, and the greatest part thereof is quite destitute of all testimonie of antiquitie.
