1From hence (and specially from that they are inspired of God) I learn that they are the rule, the line, the squire, and light, whereby to examine and trial judgements and sayings of men; yea of Angels: and that they can not be judged or sentenced by any. And therefore the Church of Rome hanging the credit and authority of the Scriptures on the Churches sentence, doth horrible injury unto God; whiles thereby they make the Churches word of greater credit then the word of God.

1I learn from thence (and especially in that it is a rule and a line) that it is firm and stable and changeth not: And therefore is a rule of steel, and not as the Church of Rome imagineth it like a rule of lead, which may be bowed every way at mens pleasures.
