D. These be the decrees of y• which it is written in the Prophets: The law shall come forth from Zion, & the word ¹of God from Jerusalem, it is not said: The law shall come forth from yt Mount Capitoline, or Palatine, or Aventine, or from any other of the seven which are in Rome, but from the mount Zion, & from Jerusalem, therefore it behoveth us well to consider, whether the doctrine that is set forth unto us for Christian, be agreeable to that law & word which came from Zion & Jerusalem: and not to that which came forth from Rome, & from the Mountains of the same, but only in y• that Rome shall have received it from thence: for it is the rule by that which the church of Rome & the doctrine of the same must be ruled, and not it by the church or doctrine of Rome. That same then which was done in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, ²in the company of the Apostles & Disciples of Jesus Christ, was done to the end that the Apostles and Disciples of Jesus Christ, being armed with y• power of the spirit of God from on high, and with that goodly gift of tongues, should (as ³lawful and authorised Ambassadors, & Heralds of this great King and son of the eternal God) show and proclaim through out the universal world, the determination of this divine and heavenly Council, first published & declared by their Lord and Master Jesus Christ, with the blessings and curses prepared for those which shall receive or refuse it. It is the last determination unto the which we must cleave and stick, which hath again sith that time ben confirmed by the miracles and death of so many Apostles,
