The place of S. James, touching the Justification of Faith, & Works, is answered before. Neither do we discredit any part either of the Authority, or of the Doctrine of that whole Epistle: notwithstanding Eusebius saith, It was written by some other,1 and not by S. James. His words be these: Istius Jacobi, qui lustus, & Oblias vocabatur, dicitur esse Epistola, quae prima scribitur inter Canonicas. Sciendum autem est, illam Epistolam esse Spuriam: The Opinion is, that the Epistle, which is reckoned the first among the Canonicals, is of this James, which was called Justus, and Oblias. But we must understand, that it is a Bastard Epistle, and not written by S. James.
The place of S. Iames, touchinge the Iustification of Faithe, & Woorkes, is answeared before. Neither doo wee discredite any parte either of the Authoritie, or of the Doctrine of that whole Epistle: notwithstandinge Eusebius saithe, It was written by somme other,1 and not by S. Iames. His woordes be these: Istius Iacobi, qui lustus, & Oblias vocabatur, dicitur esse Epistola, quae prima scribitur inter Canonicas. Sciendum autem est, illam Epistolam esse Spuriam: The Opinion is, that the Epistle, whiche is reckened the firste emonge the Canonicalles, is of this Iames, whiche was called Iustus, and Oblias. But wee muste vnderstande, that it is a Bastarde Epistle, and not written by S. Iames.

Likewise S. Hierome saith,1 Epistola Jacobi ab alio quopiam sub eius nomine edita asseritur: It is said, that the Epistle of S. James, was set forth by some other man under his name. This therefore is no New fantasy: but the Judgement of the Ancient Learned Fathers. Nevertheless we do both receive the same Epistle, and also read it in Our Churches: and allow every Clause, and Sentence, that therein is written.
