So, what account soever men make of this doctrine, that god be thanked is taught this day, yet whosoever shall come near & view it well, and try it to the uttermost, and shall find that all things are done seemly and orderly according to the old doctors, to the Apostles, and to the primitive Church of Christ, shall fall down to the ground, and confess that the order and manner thereof, or any thing that is taught therein, is not heretical.

Saint John Baptist sent his disciples to Christ to know whether he were the true Messiah or no, or else, whether they should look for another: Christ made them answer, Go and show John what things ye have hard and seen: 1the blind receive sight, & the halt go, the lepers are cleansed, & the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, & the poor receive the Gospel. For these tokens were sufficient to make John understand, that Christ was the true Messiah.
Saint Iohn Baptist sent his disciples to Christ to knowe whether hee were the true Messias or no, or els, whether they should looke for another: Christ made them answer, Go and shewe Iohn what thinges ye haue hard and seene: 1the blinde receiue sight, & the halte goe, the lepers are clensed, & the deafe heare, ye dead are raised vp, & ye poore receiue the Gospel. For these tokens were sufficient to make Iohn vnderstande, that Christ was the true Messias.
