And it appeareth that S. John here was entangled with the same error:1 whom otherwise we must needs confess to have sinned by Apostasy, and would have worshipped the Angel for God, or with God. Which are both two wicked, and unworthy such a man. But in ease he worshipped God, and would nevertheless have worshipped the Angel also, what thing else did he, than offend in the worship dulicall. And verily God hath permitted so worthy a man to err, as he did also Peter and Thomas; to the intent he might heal ou• infirmities: that is to wit, that by their errors we might learn to believe more rightly, and to honour God more purely. For this present place teacheth openly, and other like examples of errors, that all the sayings and doings of Saints are not to be allowed without any different.
