lyghteneth the hertes of the beleuers and maketh them true / and
clenseth them from lies / as thou readest
Ihon .xv. ye be cleane by reason of the word. Which
is to be vnderstond / in that the word had purged their hertes
from lies / from false opinions and from thynkynge evell good /
and therfore from consentinge to synne. And Ihon .xvij.
sanctifie them o father
thorow thy trueth. And thy word is trueth. And thus
thou seist that gods trueth dependeth not of man. It is not
true because man so saith or addmitteth it for true: But man is
true because he beleueth it /
testifieth and geueth wittenesse in his hert that it
is true. And Christ also saith him selfe Ihon .v. I receaue no
wittenesse of man. For if the multitude of manswittenesse might
make ought true / then were the doctrine of Mahomete truer then
Christes.

But did not the appostles teach ought by mouth that
they wrott not? I answere / because that many taught one thinge
/ and every man the same in diuers places and vnto diuers
people / and confirmed
euery sermon with a sondry miracle: therfore Christ
and his
appostles preached an hundred thousand sermons and
