Now to stay the restoring of Jericho, many good ways may be devised. For our consideration at this present, and because the time is far spent, I will name only four unto you. The first, Maintenance of schools & learning. Secondly, understanding of the cause: ⟨image 27⟩that is, that every man may consider, what he hath left, & what he hath received: out of what darkness, into what light he is come. Thirdly, kindness towards God, & thankfulness. Fourthly the discipline of the church. With these 4. by gods grace, we may keep Jericho from restoring. Of each of these a few words, & so I will end.

That learning and knowledge, is able to hinder the builders of Jericho, it is so plain that it needeth no speech. In the time of Moses Law, Aaron the great Bishop and high Priest, had written in a tablet before his breast, doctrine, and truth: not only learning, but also trueth: whereby was meant, that neither might be without other. For, as learning is dangerous and hurtful without religion, so is religion unable to defend it self, and to convince the gain sayers, without learning.
