Sundry men hold diverse opinion in matters of religion,1 as the Jew,2 Turk, Papist, & Christian: which is the true opinion? how is it known?3 Answ. Still we must have recourse to the witness of truth, the faithful witness, and Prophet of the Church: and he is the judge of these controversies. Now in the Scriptures if we mark them, we shall see his judgement, which of these is true. But if there be diverse opinions of Scriptures, what must be judge? In this diversity of opinions, yea of the Scriptures themselves, we must still have recourse to the Scriptures & if we note the circumstances, the manner of writing: if we confer ⟨p. 32⟩Scripture with Scripture, we shall easily find out the true sense and meaning: for the Lord sets out in them his judgment plainly and fully.
