Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

8 The true Church teacheth the Word of God truly, not adding thereto, nor taking there-from; and Ministers the Sacraments according to the Primitive Church, and it suffereth all men to read the Scriptures: as Christ saith: Search the Scriptures: And when Paul preached, the audience searched the Scriptures; whether he preached truly: David teacheth to pray with understanding: Saint Paul saith, when the people understand not what is said, how can they say Amen at giving of thanks: And Saint Paul saith, true Faith cometh by hearing the word.
