Moreover why did y• Apostle write ⟨p. 287⟩yea and that unto lay men, seeing that they were so diligent in preaching I dare boldly say as you be▪ But let us see how lay men were forbidden to read holy Scripture in the Apostles 1time? The noblest of Thessalonia, which received the word, searched the Scriptures daily, whether those things that Paul preached were so or not, here have you plain that lay men searched Scriptures to know whether Pauls doctrine were true or not, and also how they read daily Scriptures. And now come you and say that lay men shall read no Scriptures but alonely receive them of your 2preaching? What if you preach lies (as it will be proved to your face that you do) shall it not be lawful for them to search Scriptures, but to learn your lies?
