For God is able (not only without Councils, but also, will the Councils, nil the Councils) to maintain, and advance his own Kingdom. Full many be the thoughts of mans heart (saith Solomon) but the Counsel of the Lord abideth steadfast: There is no wisdom, there is no knowledge, there is no counsel against the Lord.1 Things endure not, saith Hilarius, that be set up with mans workmanship: By an other manner of means must the Church of God be builded and preserved: For that Church is grounded upon the Foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, and is holden fast together by one corner stone, which is Christ Jesus.
For God is able (not onely without Councelles, but also, wil the Councelles, nil the Councelles) to maintaine, and anaunce his owne Kingedome. Ful many be the thoughtes of mans harr (saith Salomon) but the Counsel of the Lorde abideth stedfast: There is no vvisedome, there is no knovvledge, there is no counsel against the Lorde.1 Thinges endure not, saithe Hilarius, that be set vp vvith mannes vvorkemanship: By an other manner of meanes muste the Churche of God be buiided and preserued: For that Churche is grounded vpon the Fundation of the Apostles and Prophetes, and is holden faste togeather by one corner stone, vvhiche is Christe Iesus.
