1And how cometh it to pas that Abraham being required by the unhappy rich man to send some of the other world ⟨image 29⟩to admonish them of this world, they have sayeth he, Moses and the Prophets, if they believe not them no more will they believe when any shall rise again from the dead. And moreover in what case had they been in then that had no thing but the scriptures of the Apostles, before that ever there was any commentaries written by the Ancients? And yet further I remember my Lord Cardinal that in your oration, your advise was to receive for sure interpretation and Apostolical tradition, that which haeth been always received in the Church everywhere, & of all men.2 But who may assure us of these three points? Certainly no man as I suppose. For the diversity is infinite that is found in the books of the Ancients, yea and that in the articles of the faith.
