Alen. Yea that I have. Adam was licensed of God, & Abraham was commanded to teach his children & posterity, & so David teacheth in divers psalms: and Solomon also preached to the people, as the book of the preacher proveth very well, where he teacheth that there is no immortal felicity in this life, but in the next. And Noah taught them that were disobedient in his days, and therefore is called the 8. Preacher of righteousness in the 2. epistle of Peter. Also in the 11. of Numb. where Moses had chosen 52. elders to help him to teach & rule the rest, Eldad & Medad preached in the tents, wherefore Joshua being offended, complained to Moses ye Eldad & Medad did preach with out licence.1 To whom Moses answered & wished that all the people could do the like. What should I be long? most of the priests were not of the tribe of Levi & Aaron.

Col. These are authorities of the old testament, & therefore abrogated, but ye art a fool, & knowest no school points. Is not the law divided into the law ceremonial, moral, & judicial?
