But to return to the matter, that Luke so meant Chrysostom proveth by these things which follow: That in the Son of man should be fulfilled that which was spoken of him: And he was counted with the ungodly. But the Apostles understood not Christ: for they thought that he had spoken simply, and (as the words sounded) spoken of an outward sword. And so did Boniface utterly interpret it. And in that Christ addeth: It is enough, he understood that two swords are sufficient in the Church, so that there ought to be now neither more nor fewer. But Chrysostom understandeth it far otherwise. For when Christ perceived that the Apostles understood him not, by that answer he declared that he would omit the thing. And in deed so is a schoolmaster wont to say unto a child which yet understandeth not that which is taught him: It is enough. Otherwise undoubtedly two swords were not sufficient against all the adversaries of Christ. There should moreover have needed coats of male and shields. Wherefore Chrysostom concludeth that the speech was figurative & parabolical. ⟨image 266⟩Farthermore,1 if Bonifacius exposition be received, we must think that the Church in the time of the Apostles ought to have had two swords, which is most far from the truth.
But to returne to the matter, that Luke so ment Chrisostome proueth by these thinges which follow: That in the sonne of man shoulde be fulfylled that which was spoken of him: And he was counted with the vngodly. But the Apostles vnderstoode not Christ: for they thought that hee had spoken simplye, and (as the woordes sounded) spoken of an outward sword. And so did Boniface vtterly interpreate it. And in that Christ addeth: It is inough, he vnderstoode that two swordes are sufficient in the Church, so that ther ought to be nowe neyther more nor fewer. But Chrisostome vnderstandeth it farre otherwise. For when Christ perceiued yt the Apostles vnderstode him not, by that answer he declared that he would omit the thing. And in dede so is a scholemaster wont to say vnto a child which yet vnderstandeth not that which is taught him: It is inough. Otherwise vndoubtedly two swords wer not sufficient against al the aduersaries of Christe. There shoulde moreouer haue needed coates of male and shieldes. Wherfore Chrisostome concludeth that ye speche was figuratiue & parabolical. ⟨image 266⟩
