HErmes (a)] Of him by and by. (b) His words] We haue seene of his bookes, greeke and la∣tine. This is out of his Asclepius, translated by Apuleius. (c) So doth humanity] So hu∣manity adapting it selfe to the nature and originall (saith Hermes his booke) (d) Trust] So hath Hermes it: Bruges copy hath. Mistrust not your selfe. (e) Beyond Apuleius and the Cole•…•…ne co∣py haue it both in this maner, onely Mirth, the Coleynists haue more then he. (f) For Hermes] I would haue cited some of his places, but his bookes are common, and so it is needelesse (〈◊〉〈◊〉) It being easier] A diuersity of reading, but of no moment, nor alteration of sence. (h) Of that which] Reioycing that Christ is come, whom the law and Prophets had promised. So Iohn bad his disciples aske, art thou he that should come or shall wee looke for an other? (i) Peter] This con∣fession is the Churches corner stone, neuer decaying, to beleeue and affirme THAT IESVS IS CHRIST THE SONNE OF THE LIVING GOD. This is no Philoso∣phicall reuelation, no inuention, no quirke, no worldly wisdome, but reuealed by GOD the father of all to such as hee doth loue, and vouchsafe it. (k) Because] Hee sheweth why the de∣uills thought that Christ vndid them before the time. (l) Truth] Mat. 25. 41. Depart from me•…•… yee cursed into euerlasting fire which is prepared for the deuill and his angells.
