Yea and that more is, whatsoever he did set forth in his books, that did he read to his people, and amongst so many thousands, was there not one found, which gainsaid that which he rehearsed: so that the whole consent and witness-bearing of the great congregation, did bring no small authority to the writings of Moses.

Moses therefore, contained in the ¹five books called the five books of Moses, an history from the beginning of the world, even unto his own death, by the space of. 2488. years. In which he declared most largely, the Revelation of the word of God made unto men, & whatsoever the word of God doth contain and teach. In which, as we have the manifold Oracles of God him self, so have we the most lightsome testimonies, sentences, examples, & decrees, of the most excellent, ancient, holy, wise, & greatest men of all the world, touching all things, which seem to appertain to true godliness, & the way how to live well & holily. These books therefore, found a ready prepared entrance of belief among all the posterity, as books which are authentical, and which of them selves have authority sufficient, and which without gainsaying, ought to be believed of all the world.

Luke. 16. In the. 5. of Matthew he saith, Do not think that I am come to destroy the law and the prophets, for I am not come to destroy them, but to fulfil them. For, verily I say unto you, though heaven and earth do pass, one jot or title of the law shall not pass till all be fulfilled. Who so ever therefore, shall undo one of the least of these commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. There have verily some been found, that have spoken against Moses the servant of God But God hath imputed that gainsaying, as done against his divine Majesty, and punished it most sharply. The proofs hereof are to be seen in
