But of the other part. I say, that such things as God […] commaū dead precisely by his word, may never ⟨p. 109⟩be broken by any custom, or consent And such be the things that we now require at your hands, not devised by men, but commaū dead by God to last for ever. Onlesse ye will haply say, as Montanus did, that God hath revealed both mo things, and also better things unto you, then ever he did unto his Apostles: or else, as Manicheus said, that the Apostle saw nothing, but only in speculo, & in aenigmate: or as your doctor Sylvester Prierias saith, Indulgentiae non habent authoritatem ex verbo Dei, sed habent authoritatem ab Ecclesia Romana, quia maior est.

Onlesse ye wil happely say, as Montanus did, that God hath reuealed both mo thinges, and also better thinges vnto you, then euer he did vnto his Apostles: or els, as Manicheus said, that the Apostle sawe nothing, but onely in speculo, & in aenigmate: or as your doctour Siluester Prierias saith, Indulgentiae non habent authoritatem ex verbo Dei, sed habent authoritatem ab Ecclesia Romana, quia maior est. Pardons, sayth he, haue no ground of gods worde, but they haue theyr groūd of ye church of Rome, which is a great deale more. The cup which ye haue takē frō the people,
