First, that the Common people of all sorts, and degrees, ought of necessity to read all the holy Scriptures in their own tongue, they say, they could never find it hitherto in the same Scriptures. Ireneus writeth,1 that the Apostles preached to the Aliens, and barbarous people the Faith of Christ, even to those, that were aliens, and Barbarous in language, and saith, that having heard the Gospel preached, they believed in Christ: and keeping the order of Tradition, which the Apostles delivered unto them, had their salvation, and Faith written in their heart without print, pen, or ink, and utterly without letters. And further he showeth, that if the Apostles had left to us no Scriptures at all, yet we should be saved by the tradition, which they left to them, whom they committed their Churches unto, as many nations of aliens be saved by the same.
