Of like examples is the Acts full, and Peters Epistles, and Pauls Epistles and all 1the Scripture, neither hath our holy father any other authority of Christ or by the reason of his predecessor Peter ⟨p. 124⟩then to preach Gods word. As Christ compareth the understanding of Scripture unto a key, so compareth he it to a net, and unto leaven and unto many other things for certain properties. I marvel therefore that they boast not 2them selves of their net and leaven, as well as of their keys, for they are all one thing.
