Concerning the Books of the New Testament.

It shall also be Convenient (saith Easebins) if in this place we Collect briefly the Books of the New Testament; In the first place must be set the fourfold writings of the Evangelists, next the Acts of the Apostles; then the Epistles of Paul are to be added, after these the first of Iohn and that of Peter, which are Authentick (that is, undeniable or approved of all) Lastly, * 1.1 if you please, the Revelation of Iohn, all these are received for undoubted.

The Books which are gainsaid, though well known unto many are these, the Epistle of Iames, the Epistle of Iude, the later of Peter, the second and third of Iohn: whether they were Iohn the Evangelists, or some others of the same name. Divers do number the Gospel to the Hebrews among them that were disallow∣ed, which was used especially of them, which received Christ of the Hebrews.
