In deed King Agesilaus did but fondly: who, when he had a determinate answer made him of the opinion and will of mighty Jupiter, would afterward bring the whole matter before Apollo, to know, whether he would allow thereof, as his Father Jupiter had done, or no. But yet should we do much more fondly, when we hear God him self plainly speak to us in his most Holy Scriptures, and may understand by them his will and meaning, if we would afterward (as though this were of none effect) bring our whole cause to be tried by a Council: which were nothing else, but to ask, whether men would allow as God did, and, whether men would confirm God's Commandment by their Authority.
