Hart. And what do you say of this exposition?
Hart. And what doo you say of this exposition?
Rainoldes. I say that father Maximus did dote when he made it. For by this reason Paul should have learned the gospel of Peter: which the Scripture denieth, protesting, ithat he neither received it of man, neither was taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ. And if you desire candlelight at noon day to help the brightness of the Sun shining in his strength: you may know that the Fathers, lAustin, Chrysostom, Ambrose, Theodoret, Jerome, and mothers, affirm the same precisely, that Paul came to Peter, not to learn of him, but of a reverence, and love, to be acquainted with him. As for Jerome, who seemeth (in the epistle which you mention) to think otherwise, against the scripture & him self: no marvel, if sometimes he went out of the way through a liking of allegories, as a great reader & follower of Origen, *who handled the scriptures too licentiously, with wandering mystical senses. nHimself, when he was grown to be of riper judgement, acknowledged an oversight of his 1youth herein: confessing, that (by travailing after 2mystical senses) he rashly followed 3allegories, in expounding a Prophet, whose literal sense he understood not.
