Certes as touching my lucubrations ¹and works, which I have hitherto made, or shall by the help of God here after make, I submit them all with most submission and humility of mind to the sincere judge merits of them that are ghostly learned & taught of GOD in Christs church to be judged, tried and examined ⟨image 5⟩by the infallible verity of god des word. If the holy Scriptures shall approve & allow them, I most hum bly beseech all men thankfully to accept them, & to give all the glory & praise unto God. If they shall seem to fight & dissent with the word of God, hold them accursed, as Paul saith, & so do in like manner the works ²of all other, that consent not with the Evangelic verity. But if the word of God testifieth and beareth witness of them, receive them, & give God thanks, which so plenteously worketh in his servants for the edification of his church.
