Now, to conclude this matter, the same father saith:1 Ecclesiastici judices, ut homines, plerumque falluntur: The judges or Doctors of the Church, as men, are often deceived. They are learned: they have preeminence in the Church: they are Judges: they have the gifts of wisdom, and understanding, yet they are often deceived. They are our fathers, but not fathers unto God: they are stars, fair, and beautiful, and bright, yet they are not the Sun: they bear witness of the light, they are not the light. ⟨p. 167⟩Christ is the Sun of righteousness, Christ is the light, which lighteneth every man that cometh into this world.

His word is the word of truth. He is the day-spring which hath visited vs from an high: he came downe from the bosome of his father: he shal guide our féete into the way of peace. Of him God the father spake:
