Haue the bookes called Apocrypha equall authoritie with those called Canonicall?

In no case: because they were neither written by Prophets nor Apostles, neither are we to beleeue them for themselues; neither doth the efficacie, force and maiestie of Gods spirit shine in them as it doth in the Canonicall: and in them there be some things which are cleane contrary vnto the Canonicall Scriptures. Neither were they euer giuen to the Iewes (to whom notwithstanding were committed the oracles of God) because they are not extant writ∣ten in the Hebrew tongue. And their authorititie was euer doubtful in the Church, and it is doubted of the authors of them.
