And before every epistle, much more to that of the Ephesians, is set a commandment, write.1 This commandment giveth authority to the writing, so that we may not axe, whether this writing, ought to be credited? and why it should •e believed? For here is the express commandment of God, •nd the divine authority, whereof curiously to inquire is thought not without cause unlawful. Moses wrote by the commandment of God. And by the same commandment of God wrote also the prophets and Apostles. Which than are not their writings believed to be Authentical? Certes John said truly and wittily: he that knoweth God, hea•eth us: he that is not of God, heareth us not .1. John .5. Curious questions cease, where the mind of the godly, or of any poor sheep knoweth the voice of his Lord and Shepherd.
