Answ. To this I answer: That those who are ignorant in this kind must understand the grounds of those men upon which they hold their opinion, and if their grounds can satisfy you, then it is something, but to say, I must hold such and such things because others do & I ignorant of their grounds, this is folly; for as we must not have an implicit faith, so we must not have an implicit judgment, to hold an opinion because others hold it. And thus I have given you the mind of God in this Scripture, so far as God hath revealed it to me for the present.
