The first is true plain, as the pope saith it and as it standeth in his text, but the second is false as it appeareth unto thine understanding and the literal sense that killeth. Thou must therefore believe the Pope and for Christs doctrine seek an allegory and a mystical sense: that is, thou must leave the clear light and walk in the mist. And yet Christ and his Apostles for all their miracles required 2not to be believed without scripture, as thou mayst see John. v. and Act. xvij. and by their diligent alleging of Scripture through out all the new Testament.
