Glover. Christ was content that the people should judge his doctrine by searching the Scriptures, and so was Paul: me thinketh ye should claim no further privilege or preeminence then they had. Thus spake Robert Glover offering him further,1 that he was content the primitive Church next to the Apostles time, should judge betwixt the bishop and him. But he refused also to be judged by that. Then he said he was his Bishop, and therefore he must believe him.
Glouer. Christ was content that the people shoulde iudge hys doctrine by searching the Scriptures, and so was Paule: me thinketh ye should claime no further priuiledge or preeminence then they had. Thus spake Robert Glouer offering him further,1 that he was content the primitiue Church next to the Apostles time, should iudge betwixt the bishop and him. But he refused also to be iudged by that. Then he sayde hee was hys Bishop, and therefore he must beleeue him.
