The Apostles and Apostolical men are called witnesses every where in the Gospel, and in the .1.1 chapt. of the Acts of Apostles. Witnesses are ordained in judgement that they should faithfully utter that which they have seen or heard, that they should forge nothing of themselves, & to the things that should be testified should neither add or put any thing, nor take away any thing. So likewise are placed of God in the church of God, the witnesses of God, that is to say ministers: and of them is required, that they Imagine nothing of their own brain, neither put to nor take away any thing from Gods word, but simply declare to the church of God the things they have seen in the story of the Gospel and heard of the prophets and Apostles. Therefore are they false witnesses, neither worthy to be called the witnesses of God and of Christ, which bring not the Gospel. They be rather the Popes witnesses, whose decrees & decretals they bring forth, and bear witness of them to the foolish people. Therefore shall those two prophets be witnesses of Christ, and shall bring witness for Christ out of the most true Scriptures.
