Now let us examine how he wresteth & corrupteth the Scriptures of God, how he giveth us a false interpretation, & corrupteth them. In his whole Bull he hath ⟨p. 69⟩one only place out of the Scripture, only one place, I say, and no more: & the same he setteth down to maintain his own authority, & to uphold his power, whereby he setteth up, & deposeth the Kings, & Princes, and states of the world. The words be the first Chapter of Jeremiah: 1Behold this day have I set thee over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to pluck up, and to root out, and to destroy, and throw down, to build & to plant. If he abuse this place of Scripture, which he hath advisedly chosen, & sent over to make thereby some show of his devilish practises to work rebellion & treasons among us: we may well think he dealeth the like with other places, when he draweth them to serve his turn.
Now let vs examine how he wresteth & corrupteth the Scriptures of God, how he giueth vs a false interpretation, & corrupteth them. In his whole Bul he hath ⟨p. 69⟩one only place out of the Scripture, only one place, I say, and no more: & the same he setteth downe to mainteine his owne authoritie, & to vphold his power, wherby he setteth vp, & deposeth the Kings, & Princes, and states of the worlde. The words be ye first Chapter of Ieremie: 1Behold this day haue I set thee ouer the nations, and ouer the kingdomes, to pluck vp, and to roote out, and to destroy, and throw downe, to build & to plant. If hée abuse this place of Scripture, which hée hath aduisedly chosē, & sent ouer to make thereby some shew of his diuelish practises to worke rebellion & treasons among vs: we may well thinke hee dealeth the like with other places, when he draweth them to serue his turne.
