Theophilus. Stay a while
Eusebius. Thou hast not yet gotten or obtained thy suit. Think not that we are become Papists, sithens that we have spoken unto thee: And that we would attribute unto our selves authority, power and judgment above the spirit of God, as he doth: we do leave that office unto Antichrist, to whom alone it appertaineth. We have not used to reprove one only syllable of the holy Scriptures: But if we discern & put difference between the books that are Canonical & those that are Apocrypha, thou oughtest not to accuse us 1therefore, except thou do, by that same reason, render culpable of the like crime the ancient Doctors of the Church, chiefly Saint Hierome, and in like manner your decrees and Canons: which do separate those that are Canonical from those that be Apocrypha, amongst which they do put the books of the Maccabees.
