Item, the said L. Lieutenant and princes shall labour so with the preachers of Germany, that they shall not in their sermons teach or blow into the peoples ears, such matters, whereby the multitude may be moved to rebellion or uproar, or be induced into error: and that they shall preach & teach nothing, but the true, pure, sincere,1 & holy gospel, & approved scripture, godly, mildly, & christianly, according to the doctrine and exposition of the Scripture, being approved and received of Christs Church, abstaining from all such things, which are better unknown, then learned of the ⟨p. 859⟩people, and which to be subtly searched, or deeply discussed, it is not expedient. Also that they shall move no contention of disputation among the vulgar sort, but what so ever hangeth in controversy, the same they shall reserve to the determination of the Council to come.
