answere / true miracles that confunded the false / gaue auctorite vn to the true scripture. And therby haue we euer sens iudged al other bokes and doctrine.

And by that we know that youre legendes be corrupte with lyes.

As Erasmus hath improued many false bokes whych ye haue fayned & put forth in the name of S. Hierom / Augustine / Ciprian / Deonise and of other / partly with auctentick stories and partely by the stile and latine and like euident tokens.

And when Master More sayth vn to them that beleue nought but the scripture / he wyll proue with the scripture / that we be bound to beleue the church in thynges where fore they haue no scripture.

Because god hath promised in the scripture / that the holy gost shall teach his church all trouth. Naye / that texte will not proue it. For the first church taught nought but they confirmed it with miracles which coude not be done but of god / tyll the scripture was autentickly receaued. And the church folowynge teacheth nought that they will haue beleued as an article of the faith / but that whych the scripture proueth and maynteneth. As S. Augustine protesteth of his workes that men shuld compare them vn to the scripture and therby iudge them and cast awaye whatsoeuer the scripture dyd not alowe.

And therfore they that wilbe beleued with out scripture are false ypocrites and not Christes church. For though I know that that mesinger whych Christe sendeth / can not lye / yet in a companye where many lyars be / I can not know whych is he / with out a token of scripture or of miracle.
