If any question arose about the faith or ⟨image 80⟩of the scripture / that let them judge by the manifest and open scriptures / not excluding the lay men.1 For there are many found among the lay men which are as wise as the officers. Or else when the officer dyeth / how could we put another in the room? Wilt thou so teach .xx.xxx.xl. or fifty years / that no man shall have knowledge or judgement in Gods word save thou only? 2Is it not a shame that we Christen come so oft to church in vain / when he of four score years old knoweth no more then he that was borne yesterday.
