But it is not necessary that we should believe that all things which are written in that Apocryphal book should be of his writing, Forasmuch as they have no sure authority. Neither, although Judas brought thence some one certain sentence, is it supposed that therefore he by his authority hath allowed the whole book: Unless thou wilt say that Paul allowed all the things which were written by Epimenides, Aratus and Menander because he brought one or two verses out of them.1 Which thing Jerome in his exposition upon the first chap. of the Epistle to Titus declareth to be a very absurd thing and worthily to be laughed at. And now as concerning Enoch, it seemeth marvellous, how he being but the vii. from Adam could write of those things of the altercation between Michael and the devil, for the body of Moses, when as if there were any such thing (as there is no doubt but there were) they must needs have come to pass a thousand and almost .500. years after. Unless we will say that those things were revealed at that time by some notable strength of prophecy.

And now as concerning Enoch, it semeth meruelous, how he being but the vii. from Adam could write of those things of the altercation betwene Michael and the deuil, for the body of Moyses, when as if there wer any such thing (as there is no doubt but there wer) they must nedes haue come to passe a thousand and almost .500. yeares after. Vnlesse we wil say yt those things wer reuealed at that time by some notable strength of prophecy.
