The answer.
What conscience is in you for applieng Scriptures without example, warrant, or anie other necessarie collection I know not: but this I know, that in your handling of the scriptures there appeareth none. All things that happened to the fathers in the old Testament, were figures (as the Apostle teacheth) of things happening in the new testament to vs. As therfore the diligence of the fathers was commendable in séeking and searching what was prefigured in the old law; so the immoderate desire and de∣light of some, to draw all things in both testaments into perpe∣tuall allegories, and to make figures where none are, & to wrest their fansies out of what place they list, is iustlie by your aduer∣saries found fault withall.
