Will. I will add a few words touching the perfection of the Scriptures. Deut. 12.32. Whatsoever I command you, observe to do it; thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Here be two ways of wronging the Scriptures; 1. By adding to it; 2. By taking from it. Now these Popish Teachers and Ministers of whom I did discourse before, they do most wickedly wrong the Scriptures, especially by adding to them. They say that their Offices are commanded in the Scripture, and that the Pope is Christ his Vicar, and that he hath power to pardon sin, and abundance more such rotten stuff they add unto the Scripture. Now this is another reason why they will not suffer people to read the Scriptures, because then every body would find out their false dealing; and therefore if any body find them out, they will presently kill them. The great wrong they do unto the Scriptures of truth, is one of their great sins; they add their own ⟨p. 60⟩wicked inventions, unto the pure and perfect word of God.

They say that their Offices are commanded in the Scripture, and that the Pope is Christ his Vicar, and that he hath power to pardon sin, and abundance more such rotten stuff they adde unto the Scripture. Now this is another reason why they will not suffer people to reade the Scriptures, because then every body would finde out their false dealing; and therefore if any body finde them out, they will presently kill them. The great wrong they do unto the Scriptures of truth, is one of their great sins; they adde their own ⟨p. 60⟩wicked inventions, unto the pure and perfect word of God.
