Theophilus I do not benie but that it is fastened & sowed in between or among the books of the Greek and Latin Bible, but it followeth not therefore that it is Canonical, & of such Authority as the others which we have received of the Hebrews, which always have been received & allowed of all the catholic Church, without any contradiction.
Theopilus I do not benie but that it is fastened & sowed in betwéene or among the bookes of the Greeke and Latin Bible, but it followeth not therefore that it is Canonical, & of such Authority as the others which we haue receiued of the Hebrews, which alwayes haue bene receiued & allowed of all the catholicke Churche, without any contradiction.
Eusebius. I am not now abashed, though you will not receive the authority of the ancient Doctors, sith that you are so shameless, that you dare condemn and reject the very proper books of the holy Scripture. I do know by experience that you must have a Bible made according or after your own pleasure. For you are like unto the ancient heretics which will not take out of the holy scriptures, but the places which they think most meet and proper for to give colour to their heresies: and do reject all the other, as unworthy of the spirit of God. Is not that to great arrogance, to make the spirit of God, & his word to be subject unto your judgement? Thou mayst well perceive Thomas, that now they do feel themselves much grieved, when they are constrained to refuse the Judge, unto whom they have appealed: and which in stead to be judged of him, they would judge him.
Eusebius. I am not now abashed, though you will not receiue the authority of the auncient Doctors, sith that you are so shamelesse, that you dare condempne and reiect the very proper bookes of the holy Scripture. I doe know by experience that you must haue a Bible made according or after your owne pleasure. For you are like vnto the auncient heritickes which will not take out of the holy scriptures, but the places whiche they thinke moste méete and proper for to giue colour to their herefies: and do reiect all the other, as vnworthy of the spirite of God. Is not that to great arrogancie, to make the spirite of God, & his word to be subiect vnto your iudgement? Thou mayst wel perceiue Thomas, that now they doe féele themselues muche gréeued, when they are constrayned to refuse the Iudge, vnto whom they haue appealled: and which in stéede to be iudged of him, they would iudge him.
