Well, let a preacher be sure, that his doctrine be true, and it is not to be thought, that any body will gain say it. If S. Paul had not foreseen that there should be gainsayers, he had not need to have appointed the confutation of gain saying. Was there ever yet preachers, but there were gainsayers? that spur2 ned? that winst? that whimpered against him? that blasphemed, that gaynesayed it? When Moses came to Egypt with sound doctrine, he had Pharaoh to gain say him. Jeremy was the minister of the true word of God, he had gainsayers the priests, and the false Prophets.

The Apostles, had gain sayers also, for it was said to S. Paul at Rome: Notum est nobis quod ubique […] huic contradicitur.
