Albeit he yet proved his doing and sayings by authority of the law and Prophets, as is showed in the first to the Romans where Paul reporteth.1 That he was chosen a part to be a minister of the Gospel that was promised before by the Prophets. And our Saviour testifieth the same in Saint John, saying to the Jews:2 Think you not (quoth he) that I shall accuse you before my Father? There is one to accuse you, which is Moses, in whom ye do trust. But if you believed Moses, you should certainly believe me, for he writeth of me. &c. Likewise a little above, he biddeth them search ⟨p. 1113⟩the Scriptures, for they make report of him.
