QVecunque scripta sunt ad nostram doctrinam scripta sunt. Al thinges that are written, they are written to be our doctrine. What doctrine is written for us in the .viii. Chapter of the first book of the Kings, I did partly show unto you (most honourable audience) this day sennight, of that good man father Samuel, the good judge how good a man he was, what ⟨image 146⟩helpers, and coadjutors, he toke unto him, to have his office well discharged. I told you also of the wickedness of his sons, how they toke bribes, and lived wickedly, and by that means, brought both their father, and them selves to deposition. And how the people did offend God in asking a King in father Samuel's time. And how father Samuel was put from his office, who deserved it not. I opened to you also, how father Samuel clears him self, that he knew not the faults of his sons he was no bearer with his sons, he was sorry for it, when he heard it, but he would not bear with them in their wickedness. Filii mei vobiscū sunt my sons are with you saith he ⟨image 147⟩Do with them according to their deserts, I will not maintain them, nor bear with them. After that he clears him self at the kings feet, that the people had nothing to burden him with all, neither money, nor money worth. In treating of that part, I chanced to show you, what I heard of a man that was slain, and I hear say it was not well taken.
