Paul, that Timothy may avoid them, who (the most of them) came with feet unwashed into the Lords sanctuary, who being ignorant of the tongues wherein the holy Ghost wrote, (great helps to understand his meaning,) searched not the sense of scripture in the scripture, but in human sense, and so expounded it thereafter: what, if they say, that to bind and loose doth make a judge only in the outward court: to remit and retain sins, in the inward court: and both import less then the keys, which open all in court and country? ⟨p. 110⟩I have proved the contrary by conference of the Scriptures. You can not deny but that the Fathers teach the contrary. Where is your discretion? Who, though the Scriptures (as we prove,) the Fathers (as you grant,) do say it is so: yet you say it is not so, because the Schoolmen think not so. As if you should say in a matter of state, which is allowed and ordained by the Queen and Council, that although they will it, yet may it not be done: why? because the Yeomen of the kitchen like it not.
