So saith the godly Father Athanasius: 1Nos ista Hausimus à Magistris divinitùs afflatis, qui Sacros Libros evoluerunt: These things have we learned of our Masters (or Fathers) inspired from Heaven, which have Read and perused the Holy Scriptures. For S. Augustine very well saithe, 2Secundum hos Libros de coeteris Literis, vel Fidelium, vel Infidelium liberè judicamus: According to those Books of the Scriptures we judge frankly of all other writings, whether they be of the Faithful, or of the Unfaithful. Therefore S. Hierome saith, Omni studio legendae nobis sunt Scripturae, & in Lege Domini meditandum die ac nocte: ut probati trapezitae sciamus, quis numus probus sit, quis adulterinus: We must Read the Scriptures with all diligence, and must be occupied in the Law of our Lord both day and night: that we may become perfect exchangers, and be able rightly to discern, what Money is lawful, and what is Counterfeit. S. Hilarie saithe, Hoc proprium est Apostolicae. Doctrinae, Deum ex Lege, ac Prophetis in Evangelijs praedicare: 3This is the very order of the Apostles Doctrine, in the Gospel to Preach God out of the Law and the Prophets.
