mahometrie / but signes of the testament of god. And in them
they red the worde of god / as we do in bokes / and as we shuld
doo in oure sacramentes / if the weked pope had not taken the
significacions a waye from vs / as he hath robbed vs of the
true sens of all the scripture. The testament which god mad
with Noe / that he wolde no moare droune the world with water /
he wrote in the sacrament of the raynebowe. And the
appoyntement made betwene him and Abraham / he wrote in the
sacrament of circumcision. And therfore
saide Steuen Actes .vij. he gaue them the testament
of circumcision. Not that the outwarde circumcision was the
hole testament / but
the sacrament or signe therof. For circumcision
preached gods word vnto them / as I haue in other places
declared.

But in the tyme of Moyses when the congregacion was encreased
/ that they must haue many preachars and also rulars temporall
/ then all was receaued in scripture / in so moch that
Christ and his appostles might not haue bene beleued with out
scripture for all their miracles. Wherfore in as moch as
Christes congregacion is
spred a brode in to all the world moch broder then
Moseses / and in as moch as we haue not the old testament only
but also the new / wherin all thinges are opened so richly and
all fulfilled that before was promised / and in as moch as there
is no promise behinde of
ought to be shewed moare saue the resurreccion: yee
and seinge that Christ and all the appostles with all the
angels of heuen / if they were here / coude preach no moare

oure soules: How then shuld we receave a new article
of the faith / with out scripture / as profitable
