Thus the laws begin, and the gloss upon the same places requireth us to swear only by god. I have tarried the longer in this matter, because I happened to see of late a certain book for the making of Deacons, priests, and Bishops, wherein is required an oath by Saints: where at I did not a little wonder. And how it is suffered, or who is the author of that book, I well know not. I am led to think it to be the fault of the corrector in the printing, for two causes. One is because in the oath for the Bishop is no mention made of any saints.
