To conclude, neither is that which they assume always true, That the authority ⟨p. 7⟩of the ancienter witness is greater then of the younger: 1for such may be the condition and quality of the younger witness, that he may deserve greater credit then the ancienter. Christ, being man, bare witness of himself: Moses also and the Prophets had long time before borne witness of him; yet neither his, nor all other witnesses authority is therefore greater then Christs alone. In like sort the Church witnesseth, that the holy Scripture which we have, is the Word of God. The Scripture it self also doth witness of it self the same, but with that kind of witness that is more certain and sure then all the others of Angels and men.
