My Lords, as I have oftentimes said heretofore,1 without express witness and testimony of the Scripture, I dare affirm nothing.2 I have oft and divers times read over the Bible, and yet such a term found I never, nor yet any place of Scripture applicable thereunto. Therefore I was ashamed ever to teach of that thing, which I could not find in the Scripture. Then said he to master John Lauder his accuser: If you have any testimony of the Scripture, by the which ye may prove any such place, show it now before this auditory. But this dolt had not a word to say for him self, but was as dumb as a beetle in that matter.
My Lordes, as I haue oftentimes sayde heeretofore,1 without expresse witnesse and testimonie of the Scripture, I dare affirme nothyng.2 I haue ofte and diuers times read ouer the Bible, and yet suche a terme founde I neuer, nor yet any place of Scripture applicable therunto. Therfore I was ashamed euer to teache of that thyng, whych I coulde not finde in the Scripture. Then sayd he to master Iohn Lauder hys accuser: If you haue any testimonie of the Scripture, by the which ye may prooue any such place, shewe it nowe before this auditorie. But this dolt had not a worde to say for him selfe, but was as dumbe as a beetle in that matter.
