Now, who could find in his hart that is a true subject, and regardeth the honour of our noble Prince, and the salvation of his soul, either to think that his grace would condemn it, or else to move him to condemn that thing, that cometh from heaven, yea, and that from the father of heaven, and sent and learned by his eternal son, which hath sealed it with his most precious blood, and also commanded his glorious Apostles to preach it, and confirmed it with so many miracles, and did also give to the confirming and the writing of it, the glorious consolatour of the holy Ghost. So that it is open, that the father ⟨p. 294⟩of heaven did not send this godly word with a small diligence, or as though he cared not whether it should remain in earth or not.

So that it is open, that the father
