I am not ignorant that some do expound this otherwise: but my purpose is not to meddle with other mens opinions and judgements, but to set down that which God hath given to me to see, and which in mine own conscience and persuasion, I suppose to be the truth; referring all to the judgement of the Church, and such therein as are endued with the Spirit of God.
