And to the intent that this might not be restrained unto the life of particular persons, it is said in the 14 chapter of the same Prophet:1 they prophesy false things, and a lying vision. And in Isay the 29 chapter. The wisdom of the wise shall perish & the understanding of the prudent shall vanish away.2 God shall shut up the eyes of the Prophets and of the principals. And in Ezekiel the 7 chapter.3 The law shall perish from the Priest. And to say the trueth, who condemned the Prophets, as Jeremiah, Micah, yea & the Son of God him self, and after ⟨image 25⟩him the Apostles, but the assemblies of the Prelates of Israel? If hereunto it be answered, that these things happened in the time of the old Testament. I answer that it is not enough spoken nor directly answered. For the conclusion will always be firm and sure that the assembly of Prelates of the Church how general soever that it was, have often times been governed by the Spirit of error rather then by the holy Ghost.

And in Isay the 29 chaptre. The wisdome of the wyse shall perishe & the vnderstāding of ye prudent shall vanishe away.2 God shall shut vp the eyes of the Prophetes and of ye principalles. And in Ezechiell the 7 chaptre.3 The law shall perishe frome the Priest. And to say the trueth, who condemned ye Prophetes, as Ieremias, Micheas, yea & the Sonne of God him self, and after ⟨image 25⟩him the Apostles, but the assemblies of the Prelates of Israell? If hereunto it be answered, that these thinges happened in the tyme of the olde Testament. I answer that it is not ynough spoken nor derectly answered. For the conclusion will alweys be ferme and sure that the assemblie of Prelats of the Churche how generall soeuer that it was, haue oftē tymes bene gouerned by the Spirit of error rather then by the holy Goste.
