With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

The Church is a mean to bring a man to the more speedy knowledge of the Scriptures, as the woman of Samaria was a mean that the Samaritans knew Christ: but when as they had heard him speak, they said now we know that he is Christ, not because of thy words, but because we our selves have heard him: so after we come to the hearing and reading of the Scriptures, showed unto us by the Church: we believe them, and know them as Christs sheep, not because the Church saith they be the Scriptures, but because they be so, we being assured thereof by the spirit which wrote and spake them.
