the light; so our Aduersaries indeuour to depriue the houshold of faith of the light of holy Scripture, Psal. 119.104. And to this end they amplifie the difficultie thereofc, and deny the same being translated into any vulgar language to bee the rule of faithd, and in stead thereof, they bring in Traditions, and old wiues fablese. But we rather beleeue the Lord himselfe, and the Primi∣tiue Fathers teaching vs, that the holy Scriptures are a light, 2. Pet. 1.19. giuing vnderstanding to the simple, Pro. 1.4. and making the foolish wise to saluation. 2. Tim. 3.15. And that euery thing concerning faith and good life, is found in plaine sentences of the Scripturef. And such things are so manifest, that they rather require an hearer then an expositorg: and all necessarie things are manifest in the Scriptureh: And although the profoundnesse of Gods word exerciseth our studie, yet it denyeth vs not vnderstandingi.
And for the better inabling of the faithfull, to be con∣uersant in reading holy Scripture to their edification, God hath ordained a publike schoole and visible ministe∣rie in his Church, Ephe. 4.12. which when it performeth his dutie aright, is duly to be heard, and people must re∣ceiue the sence of holy Scripture from the same, and not from any priuate spirit. Mal. 2.7. 2. Cor. 5.20. Heb. 13.17.
