The sixth & last part of this work containeth the conclusion,1 which affirmeth the things which we have heard to be divine, certain, and undoubted: for he collecteth the chiefest things, & moveth all men to faith, & study of godliness, that in steadfast hope we should look for the judge of all, to come shortly, and to judge the quick & the dead. And in goodly order this last book of the Canonical scripture finisheth the godly narration & doctrine, with the judgement, & end of all things.2 For the holy Scripture beginneth at the first original of all things, and continueth a narration until the end of all things, containing in it self the universality of things, and all such things as are requisite to be known of matters needful and profitable. And all those things hath our good Lord given us to be known in the holy scripture, that is to say, in the Canonical books. For they be false harlots, that say, that all things which appertain to the true & full godliness, & salvation of the faithful, are not set forth in holy writings, and therefore to have need of traditions. They in deed have need of those traditions, which will utter their crafty wares: we need none, which esteem all their wares not worth a galley halfpenny to be bought of any man. For Isaiah hath sufficiently dissuaded us from their deceivable & crafty jugglings, in the .55. chapt. And this conclusion containeth about .16. Articles. Which we shall discuss in order.
The sixte & last parte of this worke conteyneth the conclusion,1 which affirmeth the thinges which we haue heard to be diuine, certayne, and vndoubted: for he collecteth the chiefest thinges, & moueth al men to faith, & study of godlines, that in stedfaste hope we shuld loke for ye iudge of al, to come shortly, and to iudge the quicke & the dead. And in goodly order this laste boke of the Canonical scripture finisheth the godly narration & doctrine, with the iudgement, & ende of all thinges.2 For the holy Scripture beginneth at the firste originall of al thinges, and continueth a narration vntill the ende of all thinges, conteyning in it self the vniuersalitie of things, and al such thinges as are requisite to be knowē of matters nedeful and profitable. And al those thinges hath our good Lord geuen vs to be knowen in the holy scripture, that is to say, in the Canonical bokes. For they be false harlottes, that saye, that al thinges which apperteyne to the true & full godlines, & saluation of the faithful, are not set forth in holy writinges, and therefore to haue nede of traditions. They in dede haue nede of those traditions, which wil vtter their craftie wares: we nede none, which esteme al their wares not worth a gally halfpenny to be bought of any man. For Esaye hath sufficiently diswaded vs from their disceauable & craftie iuglinges, in the .55. chapt. And this conclusion conteyneth aboute .16. Articles. Which we shal discusse in order.
