But we be here taught, that whatsoever we take in hand, a special regard must be had, that we be assured of the will of God. And the same thing taught Paul, when he said; 1Let us try what is the good will of God. And as the same apostle writeth unto the Ephesians; Let us not walk as unskilful, 2which understand not what the will of God is. And that it be not thought, that this interpretation is of our own devise; I desire the reader to look upon Origin, upon Primatius the disciple of Augustine, and upon those Commentaries, 3which be ascribed to Jerome: whom thou shalt find to be of the same judgement, when they expound even that place, which we have now alleged; for they acknowledge no other faith than that, which all men acknowledge.

And as the same apostle writeth vnto the Ephesians; Let vs not walke as vnskilfull, 2which vnderstand not what the will of God is. And that it be not thought, that this interpretation is of our owne deuise; I desire the reader to looke vpon Origin, vpon Primatius the disciple of Augustine, and vpon those Commentaries, 3which be ascribed to Ierom: whom thou shalt find to be of the same iudgement, when they expound euen that place, which we haue now alledged; for they acknowledge no other faith than that, which all men acknowledge.
