Touching this first consideration, M. Harding imagineth shadows of him self, and fighteth stoutly against the same. Therefore he may soon attain the Victory. For we say not, that the common people of all sorts, and degrees, ought of necessity to read all the holy Scriptures. This is only M. Hardinges fantasy: We say it not. We know, some are blind, and many unlearned, & cannot read. But thus we say, That in the Primitive Church, who so ever would, and could read, might lawfully read without controlment. Therefore S. Augustine saith, as it is before alleged,1 Aut ipsi legit, aut alios legentes requirite. Either read your selves, or get some other, to read unto you.
