The adversaries of this ground against whom we must fight.
The aduersaries of this ground against whom we must fight.
First the Turks, and Turkish religion, who deny scripture to be given by inspiration, and deny the books of the Prophets and Apostles, and in stead of them stand to their Alcoran. Secondly the Jews, who refuse the books of the new Testament. Thirdly the Atheist, who will believe nothing of all this. Fourthly,1 the painted adversary the Papist, who undermines this ground; first, saying that the Hebrew and Greek text is corrupted, so as we may not build upon it, that thereby they might bring their Latin Bible into credit as most authentical; and yet (that they might make the sentence of their Church the rule of faith) the most learned of all that Church hold that the Latin Bible is also corrupt; so indeed they covertly renounce all scripture that the sentence of the Church may obtain the chief stroke. Secondly, in teaching that the authority of the Church in regard of us, is above the Scriptures, because we know not the sense thereof, but by the Church: Thus putting down the true and principal ground of Scripture, that they might more easily set up their own dotages.
