Wood. Then you be like the waves of the sea, as saith S. James, that be tossed about with the wind, and be unstable in all your ways, and can look for no good thing at the Lords hand: Yea, ye are neither hot nor cold, and therefore God will spew you out of his mouth, as sayeth S. John. Then they were in a great fury, especially doc. Story, saying:

Chich. Yea surely, he is sent to me to learn, and taketh upon him to teach me.
Chich. Yea surely, hee is sent to mee to learne, and taketh vpon him to teache me.
Wood. I seeing their blindness and blasphemy, it made my heart melt, and mine eyes gush out with tears, saying: The Jews said to Christ, he had the Devil, and was mad, as you have said here by me. But I know, the servant is not above his master. And God forbid that I should learn of him that confesseth that he hath not the Spirit of God.
Wood. I seeing their blindnesse and blasphemie, it made my heart melt, and mine eies gush oute with teares, saying: The Iewes saide to Christ, he hadde the Deuill, and was madde, as you haue said heere by me. But I knowe, the seruant is not aboue his maister. And God forbid that I should learne of him that confesseth that he hath not the Spirite of God.
Wood. I believe verily that I have the spirit of God.
Wood. I beleeue verely that I haue the spirite of God.
Chich. You boast more then ever Paul did, or any of the apostles, the which is great presumption.
Chich. You boast more then euer Paul did, or any of the apostles, the which is great presumption.

Wood. 1Then one looked in a Latine Testament, and another in a Greeke Testament, and they said, it was in them both, that Paul supposed that he had the spirit of God, but he was not sure.
Chich. Even so I hope and suppose that I have the spirit of God, but I am not sure.

Wood. If that place be wrong translated, and so many places of the Bible as you say, then I may say with Christ, it cannot be avoided, but offences must be given: But woe unto them by whom they come. I may say woe unto false Translators. For cursed are they that add or take away. But take you heed that you belie not the Translators. I believe they had the fear of God more before their eyes then you report of them. And yet if that place be wrong translated, I can prove places enough that Paul had the spirit of God, as I my self and all Gods elect have.
