Unto that I allege off the savour off the word, sweeter, and more nourishable when it is brayed, and cut, then when 1it is by reading given as it were whole, and in gross: touching the first / he asketh whether the word red is not a sweet savour, in steed that he should have said / as sweet / which he durst not. In the second / whether there be no discretion required in reading? yes / but 2more in preaching. Although thus he toucheth not the matter. for unto the point of breaking / and cutting off the scripture / done by preaching which applieth the general doctrine to the particular circumstance / wherein it is like unto aromatic spices / sweeter broken then whole / and unto wholesome meat / apter to nourish when it is chewed / or cut / then when it is not: he answereth nothing. For as things aromatiquall / and meats both broken / and whole / have the same savour / and virtue off nourishing in regard off them selves / yet in regard off us are sweeter / and more nourishable broken &c: so the word off God / off the same virtue in it self both red / and preached / is unto us more profitable preached / then red. whereunto pertaineth that Saint Luke calleth the interpretation off the scriptures / an opening of ⟨p. CCCLXXX⟩them: which in the second edition / because it was leo figurative then the comparison off aromatic things (that being a metonymy off the preacher for preaching) I put in the place thereof. for if interpretation off the scriptures be the opening off them / as Saint Luke declareth calling it opening in one verse / which 3he called interpreting in an other: it followeth that the word red / in respect off being preached / is as it were shut / and clasped. for this cause are the ministers off the word / said to have 4the keys off the kingdom off heaven: for that without their ministry off preaching / the kingdom off heaven is as it were locked.
