This wise reason is their shoteancre and
al their hold / their
refuge to flight and chefe stone in their fundacion
/ wheron they
haue bilt all their lies and all their mischeue
that they haue wrought this .viij. hundred yeres. And this
reason do the Iewes laye vn to
oure charge this daye / and this reason doeth chefely
blynd them and
hold them still in obstinacie. Oure spirites first
falsifie the scripture to stablish their lyes. And when the
scripture cometh to light and is
restored vn to the true vnderstondinge and their
iuglinge spied / and
they like to sofre shippwracke / then they cast out
this ancre / they be the church and can not erre / their
auctorite is greater then the
scripture / and the scripture is not true / but
because they saye so
and admitte it. And therfore what soeuer they
affirme / is of as greate auctorite as the scripture.
