I could show many the like speeches of the ancient Fathers, wherein they reverence the holy Scriptures, as to which only they give consent without gainsaying: which can neither deceive nor be deceived. In this sort did Origen, and Augustine, and other Doctors of the Church speak of themselves and of theirs, and the writings of others, that we should so read them, & credit them, as they agreed with the word of God. Hoc genus literarum non cum credendi necessitate, 1sed cum judicandi libertate legendum est: This kind of writings is to be read not with a necessity of believing them, but with a liberty to judge of them. S. Paul saith,2 though that we, or an Angel from heaven preach unto you otherwise, than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 3Out of which place, S.

In this sort did Origen, and Augustine, and other Doctours of the Church speake of themselues and of theirs, and the writings of others, that we should so read them, & credite them, as they agréed with the worde of God. Hoc genus literarum non cum credendi necessitate, 1sed cum iudicandi libertate legendum est: This kinde of writings is to bee read not with a necessitie of beleeuing them, but with a libertie to iudge of thē. S. Paul saith,
