Ye would fallen remove us from a good hold, I see well, which is the Authority of the Holy Fathers, of Ancient Traditions, and of the Universal Church. Al these would ye to be of no force against Heretics. For ye know the Fathers and the Church to be against you, and that so long as they are believed, your Doctrine shall not be received, as always found to be new, and of private devise. If we were driven from these, ye doubt not but to match us well enough in the Scriptures. And as ye would handle the matter, I think so my self verily. For when all Authority and judgement of the Fathers and of the Church is shaken quite of in any controversy, by whom shall we be tried? By the Scriptures, ye say. But when both ye and we allege Scriptures to a contrary purpose, and when we vary about the sense of the Scriptures, by whom then shall we be judged? Perhaps ye will refer the judgement of doubtful matters, to the Holy Ghost. We refuse not the arbitrement and Umpireship of the Holy Ghost. For the same hath ben promised by Christ to the Church, to remain with the Church for ever, to teach what things so ever he said, to lead men into all Truth.
