And did you never read that there were readers in the church / when there were no reading ministers? but of reading of the scriptures and prayers in the church / there will be a fitter place to speak afterward where it shall be showed / how unjustly you surmise these things of them.

And did you neuer reade that there were readers in the church / when there were no reading ministers? but of reading of the scriptures and prayers in the church / there will be a fitter place to speake afterwarde where it shall be shewed / how vniustly you surmise these thinges of them.

Touching Homilies shall be spoken more hereafter / where further occasion is given. I do not use to maintain the places which are quoted / although they be truly alleged for the causes which I have before mentioned / but yet I can not but speak of this place of S. Luke / for fear of the danger that may ensue. ¹For if this be a good reason / that the place of S. Luke may not be used to prove that preaching is perpetually annexed to the ministry / because in the same place is made mention of curing of diseases / which is but a temporal thing / and followed the ministry but for a time / then the commandment of S. James ^*that the Elders of the Church should pray for those that are sick / is now no commandment / because putting on of hands / and anointing of them / that they might recover their health / hath no place / and by this means you will pull from us many places of the new Testament / as you did before of the old.

Touching Homilies shall be spoken more hereafter / where further occasion is geuen. I doe not vse to maintayne the places which are quoted / althoughe they be truely alleaged for the causes which I haue before mentioned / but yet I can not but speake of this place of S. Luke / for feare of the daunger that may ensue. ¹
