QVecunque scripta sunt ad nostiam doctrinam scripta sunt. Al things that are written, they […] to be […]. What doctrine is […] for […] in yt 8. Chap. of the first book of the kings, I […] partly show unto you (most honourable audience) this […] sennight, of that good ma n father Samuel, that good judge how good a man he was, what 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 […], and lived wickedly, and by that means, brought both their father, and themselves 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 vobiscum sunt, my sonnes are with you saith he. Do with them according to their deserts, I will not maintain them, nor bear with them. After that he clears himself at the kin ges feet, that the people […] 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. Forsooth I intend not to impair any mans estimation or honesty, & they that enforce it to that, enforce it not to my meaning. I said I heard, but of such a thing, and toke occasion by that, that I heard, to speak against that thing, that I knew to be naught that no man should bear with any man to yt maintenance of voluntary and prepensed murder. And I hear say since, the man was other wise an honest man, and they that spake for him, are honest men. I am […] enough to credit it. I spake not because I would have any mans honesty impaired. ⟨image 226⟩Only I did as Saint Paul did, who hearing1 of the Corinthians, that there should be contentions and misorder among them, did write unto them that he heard, and thereupon by occasion of […] he set forth very whole some doctrine of the Supper of the Lord. We might not have lacked that doctrine I tell you.
QVecunque scripta sunt ad nostiam doctrinam scripta sunt. Al things that are written, they 〈…〉 to be 〈…〉. What doctrine is for in yt 8. Chap. of the fyrst booke of the kynges, I partely shewe vnto you (most honourable audience) this sennight, of that good ma n father Samuel, that good iudge how good a man he was, what helpers, and coadiutours, he toke vnto him, to haue his office well discharged. I told you also of the wyckednes of hys sonnes, howe they toke , and lyued wickedly, and by that meanes, brought both theyr father, and themselues to deposition. And how the people did offende God in asking a kyng in sather Samuels tyme. And how father Samuel was put from his office, who deserued it not. I opened to you also, how father Samuel cleares hym selfe, that he knewe not the fautes of hys sonnes: he was no bearer with hys sonnes, he was sory for it, when he heard it: but he would not beare with them in their wickednes, Filii mei vobiscum sunt, my sonnes are with you saith he. Do wt them according to their desertes, I wil not maintain them, nor beare with them. After that he cleares himself at the kin ges feete, that the people nothing to burthen hym wyth all, neyther money, nor money worth. In treating of yt part, I chaunced to shewe you, what I hearde of a man that was slayne, and I heare say it was not well taken. Forsoth I entende not to empayre any mans estimation or honesty, & they that enforce it to that, enforce it not to my meaning. I sayd I heard, but of such a thynge, and toke occasion by that, that I heard, to speake against yt thyng, that I knew to be naught that no man should beare with any man to yt maintenance of volūtary and prepensed murder. And I heare say synce, the man was other wise an honest man, and they that spake for him, are honest men. I am inoughe to credite it. I spake not because I would haue any mannes honestye impaired.
