He seemeth to take it in scorn, that the Word of God should be called the Light.1 Yet notwithstanding the Prophet David saith, Thy Word is a Lantern to my feet. And again, The Commandment of the Lord is Lightsome, giving Light unto the eyes. And Theophylacte saith, Verbum Dei est Lucerna, qua Fur deprehenditur: The Word of God is the Candle, whereby there Thief (or false Teacher) is espied.

Whereas M. Harding demandeth of us so pleasantly, what Scriptures we allow, and what we reject, he troubleth him self with an idle, and a needless question. For we embrace, and reverence every parcel, and title of the Scriptures without exception, not refusing any part thereof, that hath been allowed by the Ancient, Learned, Catholic Fathers of the Church of God.
