Again, as these occasions are taken from the whole Church in general,1 so more especially, some take offence from several things therein; as first, from the wants that be in Ministers, both for judgement and 2doctrine. Hence politic carnal men plead thus; Preaching is full of3 imperfection, therein men publish their own errors; but the written word containeth in it the sermons of Christ, and of his Apostles, which are most perfect: and therefore it is best to content our selves with the Scripture read, and to hear no preaching by men.
