And by that we know that your legends 1be corrupt with lies. As Erasmus hath improved many false books which ye have feigned and put forth in the name of S. Hierom, Augustine, Cyprian, 2Dionise and of other, partly with authentic stories, and partly by the stile and latin and like evident tokens.

And when M. More •ayth (unto them that believe nought but the scripture) he will prove with the scripture, that we be bound to believe the church in things, wherefore they have no scripture. Because God hath promised in the scripture, that the holy ghost shall teach his church all truth. Nay, that text will not prove it. For the first Church taught nought but they confirmed it with miracles which could not be done but of God, till the scripture was authentically received. And the Church following 1teacheth nought that they will have believed as an article of the faith, but that which the scripture proveth and maintaineth. As S. Augustine protesteth of his works that men should compare them unto the scripture, & thereby judge them and cast away whatsoever the scripture did not allow. And therefore they that will be believed without scripture are false hypocrites and not Christs church. For though I know that that messenger which Christ sendeth can not lie, yet in a con any where many liars be, I can not know which is he without a token of scripture or of miracle.
